Dream Beach Cottages

We liked the location, close to Dream beach and Devil’s Tear which were excellent and if you are ok walking Mushroom beach was not far at all. We also liked the extent that the hotel had gone to having told them that it was our 30th wedding anniversary trip around Indonesia. They decorated our room with a flower and towel swan gesture which was very unexpected but very much appreciated.

We did not like the fact that the hotel did not have an iron. As we were moving around Indonesia our clothes were just “packed” and therefore in need of an iron. The reply was that we could get them washed, explaining that they were clean and only needed to be ironed was difficult to get across. Another aspect that was disappointing was the petty charge requested to me to pay because I asked for an additional jam for my toast only to be told that my breakfast choice did not come with jam but I could purchase it at 4000 IDR. It was not the cost of the jam, it was the pettiness of the resort.

Gorgeous village style feel with surrounding shops and cafes and massage. Aria and Nyoman will help with and arrange anything and made our stay very easy. Quieter part of the island but easy getting around. Highly recommend Sandy Bay restaurant also.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They liked to talk to us to improve their English.

Lighting in the room very low, making it difficult to read.

Truely excellent value for money. The freestanding wooden chalets each with their own verandah and walled outdoor bathroom had character. Lots of good local food options close by. Friendly and attentive staff. Thank you for looking after us Arya. The communication pre arrival was great - the manager made getting on and off the island very easy.

Not a negative but just be aware that the beaches within walking distance can be a bit rough for swimming. But it’s very easy to get a ride or hire a scooter and get yourself up the island to the calmer spots. I was happy to lounge by the pool!
