Guest Reviews
- Evelyn (8/5): Unsere Tauchferien waren super. Gerne kommen wir wieder. - Das Frühstück sowie das Essen vor Ort war super das Personal sehr freundlich. Die Tauchplätze vor Ort sind Top. Ausserhalb des Resorts hat es nicht viele Möglichkeiten etwas per Fuss zu unternehmen.
- Ray (8/5): -
- Paulius (10/5): - Foooood!
- Guest (10/5): - Staff very friendly in the hotel / restaurant and in the dive centre. Happy with everything.
- Gennady (9/5): - Доброжелательный персонал. Вкусные завтраки, вообще ресторан отеля хороший, еда вкусная. Чистые номера, уборка каждый день. Отличный дайв-центр, организуют погружения, доставляют на место и полностью готовят снаряжение, если нет партнера, с вами будет погружаться гид, и все это по достаточно демократичным ценам, мне очень понравилось. Очень благодарен за помощь с вызовом такси до Убуда, так как через агрегатор в Туламбене проблема вызвать. В бунгало санузел частично на улице, само по себе это неплохо, но будьте аккуратны с вкючением света в бунгало вечером, так как дверь в санузел полупрозрачная и туда на свет налетает много насекомых, потом не очень приятно туда ходить, пока не разлетятся)) Обратите внимание, что за пределами отеля в округе вообще нечего делать, место исключительно для дайвинга и релакса, в этом плане 10/10….

- Nerida (10/5): -
- Jan (8/5): - Great place for diving and snorkling -
- Agnes (9/5): Wir waren dort einfach rundum zufrieden :) - Frühstück gab es á la Carte und war immer hervorragend. Eine tolle Auswahl und immer ausreichend und frisch.
Die dazugehörige Tauchbasis war super organisiert. Wir hatten für die Dauer unseres Aufenthalts einen Guide mit dem wir nach Wunsch die Tauchgänge planen konnten.
Als Taucher und Fotografen wussten wir die vielen Steckdosen im Zimmer sehr zu schätzen. Der Pool war groß genug und sauber.
Das Zimmer wurde täglich gereinigt und das Personal war immer freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Ein defekter Schlauch im Bad wurde nach Rückmeldung umgehend ersetzt.
Organisation von Ausflügen wurde auf Anfrage ebenfalls durchgeführt. Danke :)
- Laurence (10/5): - The staff were very well trained - which gave me confidence that there would be a high level of hygene in the kitchen; so ate at the hotel restaurant or partner restaurant every night.
- Meera (6/5): Convenient stay close to all the nice dive centers - The rooms are spacious, and so are the bathrooms.
They are very thoughtful about a few things and have kept umbrellas, mosquito coils & sprays, extra extension cords and even a diffuser (you can ask for essential oils you prefer) in the rooms.
The property has an in-house restaurant that serves good food through the day including alcohol.
They also have a nice view of Mt. Agung.
The pool seems nice, I did not use it however was busy everyday.
If you are interested in massages they will arrange for masseuse to come to you, and have a massage in your room, patio or by the pool - this is really nice. The beds are not comfortable at all. It’s really hard and I really could not get much sleep.
I don’t think the team cleans the room everyday nor change the towels, or even refill the water or clean the coffee cups. I had to do this myself.
The power goes on and off quite often, but this may not be in their control?
What I was really disappointed was that the water in the shower ran out one day while I was in the bath and there was no way to call anyone - no phones to the reception as well. I waited in the bathroom helpless for at least 15 min before the water started again.
Please not the resort is SSI registered and not PADI so if you are on a diving trip please use another dive Centre if needed.
- PH meyer (8/5): Belle situation - Salle de bains un peu âgée ....
- Suzan (8/5): If you are going to Tulanbem book there. - It was close to diving, the restaurant was good, and the coffee was good. They had a bar. It’s a quiet town but we meet fellow travelers there. Great place at a great price, Nothing to complain about.
- Katrin (10/5): - Sehr schöner Bungalow in einer ruhigen Anlage mit gepflegtem Garten – perfekt zum Entspannen nach dem Tauchen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Frühstück war richtig lecker und es gab eine große Auswahl. Auch das Restaurant ist absolut empfehlenswert – besonders das Schnitzel und das Cordon Bleu waren sehr gut. Es gibt einen Trinkwasserspender, was wir super fanden.
Insgesamt ein toller Aufenthalt, den wir gerne weiterempfehlen.
- Charles (9/5): Very comfortable stay . - Breakfast was very good and made to order.
- Frederic (10/5): - Le resort est très agréable et le restaurant superbe. J'ai demandé à passer le padi mais malgré leur accord. Je me suis retrouvé avec un accompagnateur plongeur et non un instructeur donc pas de Padi très déçu !
- Heinjus (10/5): Highly recommend - Rooms were top quality, very clean, huge king bed!
Staff very accommodating, great food in restaurant. Beautiful grounds, good onsite dive facilities & location, perfect spot to unwind!
- Didier (8/5): -
- Juls (8/5): Fantastic - Breakfast and all meals were fantastic and big.
Staff were really friendly and helpful and I had a massage that was amazing. Was one of the hardest massages Ive ever had but she fixed a lot of my back pain, it was great.
Room was big, clean, and the bed and pillows best we have had on the trip :) Not much to do in the area other than diving but was a good chance to do nothing and read
- Rohald (9/5): -
- Sascha (8/5): -
- Karl (8/5): Very good - Good breakfast, large good choice
Diving centre part of hotel - easy to book
Walking distance to beach & US Liberty / Coral Garden dive/snorkel sites
Compact complex
Good Pool
Good service
Good comfy beds
Adaptors for UK/other sockets in room
Large outside shower/bathroom
Good restaurant on site On hot day with no breeze can get warm outside the room, but conversely when windy has some protection .
Rooms not as large as some other places we stayed, but then we are comparing apples with oranges.
Apart from diving/snorkeling, not much else to do in Tulamben
- Julie (9/5): Great for divers. - Beautiful grounds, spacious rooms, delicious food, helpful and friendly staff. Full service Dive shop attached. Nanok was great dive master. Very good experience and value. Bed was on the hard side.
- Radoslaw (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly and professional staff.
- Cynthia (9/5): Lovely Place with great German Food! - -Clean & Generously sized Rooms
-Lovely Shower
-Great Restaurant
-Good Location -Too many mosquitoes :( (but the hotel provides mosquito repellent)
- Carly (8/5): Beautiful, quiet location that is ideal for diving in Tulamben - The rooms are clean, spacious and well equipped, and the gardens and pool and areas are beautifully clean and well maintained.
Their in-house restaurant at the hotel and the owners' additional restaurant (Slice and Brew) on the main road provide delicious and generous food portions with local and European options.
The location of the hotel is just off the main road, on a quiet side street. It is only a 2 minute walk to where all the popular Tulamben dive sites are located just off the beach.
We are dive professionals and have dived in Tulamben before, so Ricardo was gracious enough to allow us to rent some of their tanks and go diving unassisted. They allowed us total flexibility with our dive schedule, and the staff were quick to arrange the porters and truck to take us to and from the beach whenever we requested it.
- Carly (10/5): Exceptional -
- María (9/5): Superb - It is really convenient for diving, everything is ready for you to go and enjoy it. The food was delicious and the staff was really friendly.
- Thira (4/5): - Inconsistent tidying of room- towels were not replaced even though they were placed on the floor. Shower had no hot water and toilet was smelly. Dive centre was dirty.
- Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional - Super great breakfest, friendly staff and profetional diving guides! All was perfect!
- Guillermo (9/5): Best place to stay in Tulamben for sure - Rooms were big and comfy. Outside bathroom was amazing with great shower pressure. Also breakfast and restaurant were top level.
- Max (9/5): Nice hotel in Tulamben - spacious room, breakfast included Not much to do around the area other than diving
- Katherine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leonida (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean rooms, nice staff, good kitchen, drinking water included. Nice garden and pool. The staff in dive center is very helpful. We have great dives, good visibility, a lot big fish. Everything was great.
- Michel (10/5): Exceptional - Great little hotel with a very good and simple restaurant. Super friendly dive shop attached. Loved it all!
- Angel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eleanor (10/5): food is awsome! - second time here because everything is so easily organised from diving to food.
- Yaiza (8/5): Huge nice rooms - Very nice place, huge room. Could be a bit cleaner.
No vegan options for breaky other than indonesian food. No soy milk or any other alternative available.
- Wanghao (10/5): Exceptional -
- Charlotte (7/5): Good place to stay! - Good value for money. Outside bathroom was nice! Large room. Good location and the bar is nice to hang out in the evening. Airconditioning works well. Friendly staff. The bed was not that comfortable (very firm). In the early morning there are hens making quiet some noise. Make sure to bring earplugs. The curtains aren’t completely darkening so bring an eyemask if you’re sensitive to that :). Warm water runs out pretty quickly so you can’t take long hot showers.
- Ivan (7/5): Good location to spend times after diving - The rooms are as advertised and the facilities outside are good for relaxing. There is a restaurant on property with quite tasty food. Minus points and a warning for anyone who wants to work remotely from here between dives - the internet connection is horrendous. It constantly disconnects or just stops working.
Additionally, there is no hairdryer available, and the water is not being delivered to rooms for some reason (you can get it yourself, though).
- Cyndi (8/5): Good value for money and if you want to dive only - Good value for money Breakfast was quite poorly. I didn’t like the type of breakfast offered - basically you can only choose one thing and all the rest is extra and chargeable
- Miao (9/5): Beautiful resort in Tulamben - Beautiful resort in Tulamben, very spacious room, friendly staff, Mount Agung visible from front door and Liberty Wreck/Ocean within walking distance. The mattress is really too soft.
- Marek (10/5): Exceptional - Very good localisation specially when you dive. Big and comfortable beds. Great bathroom. Helpfull and friendly staff. Very good food. Recommend.
- Tiffany (6/5): Fair - The property is close to quite a few restaurants, main purpose for our trip is for diving. Close to a lot of popular dive shops. Staff was not that friendly
- Maximilian (8/5): Quite little dive resort - Great little resort, very friendly staff, nice pool, nice rooms, decent restaurant. I did a dive with them to the wreck which was fantastic and would highly recommend them for diving. They also have snorkeling gear you can rent which we did on the first day there which was very nice too. Nothing :)
- John (9/5): Superb - Clean comfortable room and good bathroom. Very pleasant staff. Breakfast was very good and was included with the room.
The restaurant on site served very good food. Location appeals to divers. The coastline has some black sand but is quite rocky.
- patrice andre (10/5): - A little garden of Eden shared by only few guests at a time. A very well maintained property matching occidental expectation standards.
We spent Nyepi there and the management did all they could to make it an enjoyable experience. Thanks to them again
- Samantha (8/5): Lovely. - Clean, great location for diving the wreck, lovely staff, pool really nice. Wifi wasn't great in the rooms.
- Niko (9/5): Superb -
- Kia (9/5): Expert divers will love this! - Loved the amazing and knowledgeable dive Masters at this well run and experienced dive center! If you’re an expert diver you will love working with them. Beginner divers are also well taken care of and will have a great experience 🫶🏽 No water bottles in the rooms but there’s a common water bottle station.
- Willem (9/5): Superb -
- Naeem (10/5): great for scuba dive communities - staff/owners are very welcoming, very easy to scuba dive.
I done 2x shore dives, dive guide was amazing, attentive and relaxed.
room/hotel was clean. I would recommend having Netflix or similar, as after diving there’s not a lot to do in the area.
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional - The resort is beautiful, the staff was very welcoming and its the perfect location for diving.
- Frans (10/5): Exceptional -
- Voitekh (10/5): Great stay - Very good Restaurant and perfect choice of dishes. Nothing

- Jacki (6/5): Pleasant -
- Tariqul (8/5): I stayed at the property for diving purposes .. the staff -are really friendly & courteous - Very clean & friendly staff N/A
- Krzysztof (10/5): Perfect place,especially for diving and snorkeling - Everythng: rooms, restaurant, diving, staff Food was very "european", maybe more options for vegetarian would be expected.
- Lisa (10/5): - Property has beautiful view of volcano. Dive staff were excellent.
- Johna (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean, good food, good dive center
- Matthew (10/5): Excellent! Perfect for divers! - The property was clean with the lawns and gardens well loved.
I accidentally left my regs at the hotel so Ric, the owner organized to have them dropped to me in Kuta. Pretty darn good of him!
Diving was walking distance away.
The staff were very respectful and kind. Maybe install a fridge in the rooms
- Serge (9/5): Perfect for divers, divers with kids who want to start diving - Everything in one package and everything is of a great quality. Very peaceful and right next to a busy and dive centre if you are a diving addition. If you're into less intense and more family oriented diving experience - Ocean Sun has is all built in. It would be good if I could leave a sign: Please don't clean my room. I got tired of pulling the sheets from under the mattress.
- Gabriel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jia (9/5): Lovely Resort for a diving trip - The Best Choice for free divers who are gonna take your diving course at Apnea Bali~Just 1 min walk from Ocean Sun to the school💙
The staff could always satisfy my diet demand 🤗🙏🏽on breakfast The daily cleaning was great~It would be better if towels are always clean and newer~
- Nazeer (7/5): Good -
- Emily (9/5): Superb -
- Florian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mat (9/5): Superb -
- Aleksandr (10/5): Exceptional - Well place was amazing, peaceful and quiet, I like the shower, there were no mosquitos in our room, just keep doors closed. However there is not so much thing to do around internet as everywhere in Bali was not good for work
- Fuka (9/5): Superb -
- Celia (9/5): Superb -
- Deana (9/5): Superb -
- Voitekh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dmitrii (9/5): Superb - Nice place to stay, good diving, very friendly. nice food. Cheap price No hot water
- Isabelle (4/5): Great location and diving, but choose any other hotel for your stay. - Diving was great, dive guide was really good and nice, also price for diving was really REALLY good! Breakfast was acceptable - we asked for cheese omelette (on the menu) with veggies, it really way nice cause slightly asian style. They organised very cheap tickets to Gili Islands and a scooter, although scooter took like 45mins to arrive. Honestly, we were really struggling and trying hard to find good things. The staff was friendly, but spent ALL their time on their mobile phones.. doesn’t matter if you’re trying to order food or drinks, they simply don’t care or, as said, are way more interested in TikTok. The room was really hard to accept. We arrived and there were (not even kidding!) min. 60 mosquitos flying around. We killed so many icky buggs and worms etc withing the first few hours of arriving. We felt so uncomfortable sleeping or even just being in the room.
There‘s a ventilator, but it‘s useless.. so slow you could watch the arms go around. The tiny shampoo bottle etc. was used before by previous guests and not refilled/swapped.
There were no cocktails etc available, the wine really was horrible. The food (as said, except for breakfast and also indonesian food, which was also okay, but not near as good as good as pretty much any other place in Bali/Indonsia) was truly inedible - the burgers were simply superdry and horrible, anything „fried“ tasted like cooked in 5-day old fat.. which it probably was.
Honestly, I own and run a hotel myself. If I book a 3-star hotel (simply for location, good reviews, good diving spots around), I truly do not expect much. But this was just a place where we really did not want to come back to in the evening and we were so glad to leave. There are so many amazing places in and around Bali.. but this simply is not one of them and as sorry as I am (I really do not like leaving „bad“ reviews), I just have to tell it as it is/was.
- Sonia (9/5): Superb -
- Dimple (9/5): it was okay - dive pool the toilet didnt had hose!
- Laura (10/5): Lovely stay, thank you so much - We really loved staying here. The place is pretty and very well maintained. Very beautiful bathrooms, big rooms and everything is super comfy and clean. The best thing about this place is that they care for nature and the environment. They have a water refill station so you don't have to waste lots of plastic bottles and they only wash the towels if you want them too. ❤️ Thank you so much for helping to protect our beautiful planet!
- Xian (10/5): Exceptional - Everthing is fantastic. Especially the food. People are friendly as well.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Our group had a really nice 4 nights visit at Ocean Sun. The beach was clean and the water had good visibility for snorkeling. Lots of sealife close to shore. The staff at the restaurant and hotel were first class. The only disappointment was the restaurant which is called Hops and Chops was no so Vegatrian friendly, but what can you expect with a name like that. We found plenty of alternative restaurants in close proximity. The pool, room and grounds were very well maintained. We loved the view of the Volcano from our room Dolphin 🐬
- Jimmi (10/5): Saved my vacation:) - Very nice and helpfull staff, that vent beyond what one could expect to help me out(lost my credit card)
Quiet place off the road with an amazing view to the volcano.
Also a very nice restaurant.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good hotel - The room is big and the semi-outdoor bathroom is really appreciated. The breakfast is not a buffet as it is written on hotels.com, you even have to choose between juice OR plate of fruit. The restaurant has great food for lunch and dinner.
- Jared (10/5): Great resort, close to dive sites. - Scuba diving in Tulamben was amazing and Ocean Sun Dive Resort was the best place to relax afterwards.
Did not eat anywhere else as the food here was some of the best I’ve ever had.
I would highly recommend Ocean Sun Dive Resort to anyone.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place with good food - Good place, affordable price, food was fresh and great. German chef makes sure u don't go hungry. Compared with other places no doubt u will not be disappointed
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice and big rooms. The outdoor bath is just perfect and big as well.
Breakfast was delicious. Within 3' walk you are at the beach.
Rent a scooter and go around it's beautiful. Amed beach is close and very nice.
Friendly and helpful staff.
You can easily come here fr 1 week only for diving.
- Selina (10/5): Super:-) - Das Resort ist fantastisch. Ruhig. Sehr nahe am Stand und wenn man Tauchen will ideal gelegen da viele Spots wenige Minuten entfernt sind. Das Essen war toll und die Bedinung super freundlich. Danke Ricardo für das BBQ war super lecker.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Boa - Melhor hotel que ficamos em Bali. Perto dos pontos e mergulho, quarto espaçoso e extremamente limpo. Café e manhã bem servido. Staff muito atenciosos e os dive masters super calmos tranquilos e prestativos.
Vale a pena ficar aqui.
- nice hotel (10/5): It was pleasure to stay. - It's far from the airport. But everything else was super good. High speed internet, pool, friendly staff, good food.
- Tobias (10/5): Ocean Sun - Perfekt för den som vill dyka och ta det lugnt. Väldigt avslappnad och vänlig personal. God mat. Härligt poolområde. Bra priser.
- fabien (8/5): Simplicité - Hôtel simple, bien entretenu, repas correct. Avec une moustiquaire et un petit frigo ce serais encore mieux.
- Dharampal H (10/5): Perfect Dive Resort in Tulamben - We stayed here 8 nights, and our stay was very pleasant. The bungalow was spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. There was daily housekeeping. The attached restaurant is very good, with a menu that includes both Indonesian and Western cuisines. All staff, at the resort, restaurant and the dive center, were very courteous and helpful. The best of them is Mr. Ricardo, who owns the place. He is an excellent Dive Instructor and a very good host. Would definitely stay here in my next trip.
- Anatoly (10/5): Gem for divers clean, safe, functional, affordable - I came to Tulamben for the only reason to get some good diving. If you are not looking for major hangouts, fancy resorts with nighty life, but into good diving, curling by the pool or in the hammock with a book, into meeting some nice new friends, nature walks and good food - this is the place. I stayed there 9 nights and would not want to leave. Ocean Sun Dive resort fulfilled my expectations completely. I was very pleased with the bungalow, the King size bed was comfy to me, and I had a good sleep every night. The grounds appealed to me as quite charming, well maintained, with majestic views of dormant volcano Agung. There is a restaurant/café on property open 7am to 8pm. In my opinion more than enough variety for 7-10 days stay, tasty and very reasonable priced. I also loved the restaurant "Safety Stop" about 3 minutes walk from the resort. The resort staff is very nice, accommodating and eager to please. Overall - I am certainly coming back. Look for me detailed review on diving part
- Clare (8/5): Lovely little hotel in a popular diving area - This hotel was lovely considering the very reasonable prices. The bungalows were very spacious and the partially outdoor bathroom was great! The gardens around the pool were also beautiful.
My husband did 3 dives during our stay and was very complimentary about the instructor. Unfortunately there isn't much else in the local area except for a few shops and hotel/restaurants.
- Lisa (10/5): - Great little resort with friendly staff, best value for money of the many places we have stayed in Bali. Great dive guide.
- Dan (8/5): All you need - My partner and I organised our tech diving with Ben (The Tec Room Bali) which is connected to Ocean Sun. It seemed like a good idea to stay at Ocean Sun resort too.
The rooms are nice and spacious, the beds are not too hard, there is 4 pillows on the bed which is nice for me because I like a high pillow. The bathrooms are a clean open roofed design. The shower is hot, but the hot water doesn't last ages. Enough for a quick shower for myself and my partner.
The staff are nice and know enough English to help out with most problems. Anything they cant help with Ric will be able to sort out no problem.
The pool is really nice and has outdoor seating and hammocks if you feel like laying in the sun or under the shady trees.
The breakfast is ok, not huge but enough to get you through a dive and make it to lunch time.
All in all our stay at Ocean Sun was everything we needed and nothing we didn't. Definitely recommended.
Thanks Ric and Thanks Ben
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice and clean - Nice place
Clean room
Friendly owner
But some staff not so friendly
