Sanctum Hotel and Dive- Nusa Penida

Great value for money, responsive staff, great option if diving with Sanctum as they will provide transportation to the dive center. Room design is industrial, amenities are basic, good air conditioning and clean bathroom with hot water.

15min Uphill walk from town, recommend renting a scooter to get around the island. No ride share apps on Nusa Penida.

Estaba todo en nuevo y muy limpio. La cama es enorme y super cómoda. A destacar la amabilidad y servicio del encargado, que estuvo atento de que nuestra estancia fuese idónea en todo momento. Había algún mosquito y nos trajo en medio de la noche un anti mosquitos y al día siguiente nos dio otro. La ubicación también es estupenda.

It was nice being able to rent scooters for 80k a day on site. They highlight was the babysitter Eluh. She was so kind and good with our baby girl. I wish we could take her with us! This hotel is about a 5 min walk to a really good restaurant, Mambo, with spectacular sunset views and delicious cocktails. Honestly, just stay at Mambo if you can. It’s the best hotel we saw on Nusa. The king bed was comfy.

WiFi, AC and power went out frequently. We had to have the owner show us how to reset the breaker when it happened. The shower water was boiling hot when the power went out which happened mid shower one time and it was very unpleasant. DO NOT book snorkeling tour with the hotel. We were charged 400k per person which was much higher than booking through GetYourGuide and the hotel tour went to less spots and for less time. We only booked with the hotel because they said it was 400k for both of us. I think there was a language barrier. Also, arrange your own transportation. We relied on the host to arrange a car for us at port. The driver was 30 minutes late, we had to wait in the heat and chaos (with a baby) and then he didn’t have room for us because he was picking up other people. Mind you, we told the host there were three of us.

Location was nice, staff is friendly and helpful with renting motorbike. Room is decent size with free water refill.

Needs a deep cleaning! A dirty old towel was used for a floor mat and had strong smell. We dropped something under the bed and was horrified by the dirt, dust, and smell. No hand soap in bathroom. Cheap body wash and shampoo in plastic dispensers that barely work. Towels and bedding are worn and old. Water from tap is very salty and fixtures are rusted. Lots of bugs in room and no mosquito net. Cheap air fresheners placed throughout the room to hide smell but unsuccessful. Public kitchen is nice amenity but everything is dirty and disorganized.
