Karangasem Hotel Guide - Amed Japanese Shipwreck hotels in Karangasem, Indonesia.

"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."

"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. "

"Nice hotel and great location, far enough away from the late night noise. Our room was very small for 2 people. Breakfast was amazing! WiFi wasn’t good and the pool water was too warm for the hot days. Restaurant staff were lovely and I’d definitely go back despite these few small things."

"Wonderful staff"

"Great hotel. Well located. Really beautiful. Only note is the prices of all restaurants was high. Hotel's airport transport was pricey as well. It was located right on a beautiful beach. Rooms were spacious and every view from the restaurants was spectacular."

"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."
