"Our stay at Samanvaya Luxury Resort & Spa was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. The resort is truly a hidden paradise surrounded by the beautiful nature of Sidemen, offering the perfect mix of luxury, tranquility, and authentic Balinese charm. From the moment we arrived, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and cared for. The service was exceptional throughout our entire stay — warm, attentive, and always going above and beyond to make every moment special. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable. Waking up to the peaceful views and relaxing atmosphere was unforgettable. The food was also outstanding, and every experience at the resort felt perfectly curated and thoughtful. What made our stay even more memorable was the peaceful and romantic ambiance of the property. It was the perfect place to relax, disconnect, and enjoy unforgettable moments together. We highly recommend Samanvaya Luxury Resort & Spa to anyone visiting Bali and looking for a truly special experience. We would absolutely love to come back in the future."

"Very beautiful "

"The resort is absolutely fantastic. The staff will do anything to ensure you have a good stay. The free activities are incredible. Make sure you try yoga with the incredibly skilled Wayan and the walks with the activities coordinator are well worth it to see parts of the area you would not have seen. I had a 2 hour massage and scrub experience with Riki which was absolutely incredible and so reasonably priced. I recommend the spa !The only problem at the moment is what staff call ‘the conservation project’ which is in fact heavy machinery on the beach moving rocks to build a rock wall. They work from 8am to 9:30pm at night. I don’t doubt it is essential work but I would stay there once it is finished (this year according to staff) or just make sure you select your room carefully. I had to change rooms and the staff were empathetic and responsive to my concerns. The trouble is the construction moved to underneath my balcony on my last morning making the balcony unusuable. Besides this I would highly recommend Candi Beach Resort. "

"The food was amazing from breakfast lunch & dinner! Very affordable and staff was very nice & helpful with whatever was needed "

"1) They didn't have our name at the reception on arrival - took some time to find us 2) Our room had all the curtains closed on arrival and boiling hot... No aircon in the lounge (family room) 3) To get to the family rooms, you need the hotel car. They only have one hotel car, so sometimes you are waiting ages 4) They went to fill the car up with petrol at 9.30am on a Sunday at peak time, so no car was avabile 5) There is no manager working on a Sunday Family rooms 1) The floors are so slippy - we all fell over, adults and kids 2) They look much better in the photos Overal The main building is nice, including the pool but the above makes the place not a good stay "

"The view was something I couldn’t get over, even on the last day I sat in bed and watched the view in awe. OMG was every second word out of our mouths, the view was the most insanely beautiful I have ever seen. The staff were accommodating & made sure every request was attended to without fuss or hassle. There are a small number of villas (only 8) so every cent made a difference. The shower is open & outside in the Santai villa with working rice fields in view so you need to be ok getting naked in nature with people in the distance working. We had clear skies every day so I’m not sure what it would be like if there was rain / thunderstorms. Be prepared, there is no aircon so if you need a cold room to sleep this may not be for you. In saying that, weather is so much cooler in the mountains so it’s easily manageable depending on time of year. It is isolated in contrast to Canggu etc so ensure you have snacks and drinks to enjoy the view, especially at sunset. You can order most things you need though and prices are reasonable, especially considering the isolation & incredible view, they also bring it to your villa quickly. In saying that, ensure you have WhatsApp (like everywhere in Bali) and an eSIM or phone reception so you can communicate with Camaya staff. Bonfire, laying on pillows in the net for sunset / sunrise & bespoke dining a must. Breakfast incl and recommend having in room & also restaurant if you have time for both."

"The resort has overmet all our expectations. Really all of them. The architecture and color design is very modern and meets fully our taste. The Villa (one room) was excellent. Very spacy and comfortable. One highlight is that you step out on the terrace and are able to swim to the pool bar. The stuff is very, very friendly, always smiling, always at hand when needed. They are acting immediately when needed. The breakfast was included into our booking and this is another highlight. There aere so many selections, that it never gets bored. The basis is a bowl of fresh cut fruits, a basked with bakery stuff, toast and bred and butter and marmelade. We mostly relaxed and ate more than necessary, I mean it in a good way. The restaurant and bar is open, but under the roof, you always feel as having a meal at the ocean, which is really, really southing. Overall the stay was fantastic and it was not easy for us to leave the paradise. We would recommend this place to anybody who wants to have relaxed and luxury times at the ocean."

"We could not have enjoyed ourselves more. Prettiest place we’ve ever stayed. Staff was so accommodating. "
