Candikuning Holidays

Food great, staff nice. Coffee was not good. Bathroom had sewage smell. Bathroom towel time to replace. Massage was expensive.

We had a wonderful stay at Samatra and would definitely return! The staff were incredibly friendly and so kind and accommodating whenever we had a request. The layout was a little different than we expected regarding the kitchen—it isn’t a full kitchen, as it only includes a fridge and a sink without a cooking stove. Also, the bathtub is located outside, so we primarily stuck to using the indoor shower. However, the surrounding nature and wildlife made it completely worth it. The views are absolutely beautiful! We loved waking up to kites flying, birds chirping, and even little lizards crawling around the room. My daughter was absolutely thrilled with all the animals, reptiles, and bugs. It was such a cute and memorable experience for her!

At 1:00 am traffic from the international arrivals Grab lounge was 28 minutes. Check in with passport was smooth. Convenience store is across the street. For purchasing drinking water or other forgotten amenities. The hotel provides refillable glass bottles and water from a filtered water station at the reception center but we chose to purchase from the store. Hotel is five minutes from the port which is the prime reason for selecting this hotel. If your first stop is Nusa Penida and you are staying there then this is a good overnight hotel. Our flight arrived late and boats do not operate until morning. Hotel was spacious and had amenities that were stated at reservation time. The bathroom has a wood slated window covering that provides circulation. It opens to the hallway and provides adequate visual privacy but no sound privacy. If you are looking for intimacy in the room or soundproofing while using the toilet this may be an issue. As far as I could tell it did not have a screen either. However, we did not have an issue with bugs. We did not wake up for breakfast but there is continental style breakfast if you pay for it. Staff was great and largely in line with the Bali culture of kindness and general hospitality expectations.
