Hotel Arsa Santhi Nusa Penida

Near the port so convenient to take an early ferry. Toilet and shower open to the elements. Clean enough for one night

It was very clean, the room worked. The property was very nice. There is a pool. It was very close to our diving shop. But I had to ask for a hand towel every day, to dry my hands after washing them. I didn't want to use our bath towels.

Hotel Arsa Santhi was an absolutely lovely place to stay. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. The grounds, including a garden and a pool, were beautiful. The room was very clean and comfortable, with a luxurious large bed. The wifi worked but was not perfect. Breakfast was included and was delicious with generous portions. We were dropped to the fastboat port for free. Overall, an extremely enjoyable stay.

I’m so conflicted about this review so I’m just going to preface this by saying the staff and GM are WONDERFUL and nice people. We were supposed to check out after 4 nights but ended up checking out after the first night. The GM refunded me the 3 nights we didn’t stay immediately and apologized profusely. They did try to move our room but we were so cranky and mad after having a horrible sleep/experience that we didn’t want to stay. We arrived and there was a ton of locals staying here. This is obviously fine except they’re very loud. The wifi was super spotty and barely worked. The hotel is near a mosque so be prepared to wake up at 4am everyday. (We had just experienced this on Gili T for the last 5 days so we were excited to sleep in). The room had a really weird smell - I think it’s their cleaning products cause the room did appear clean. In the morning we were first awoken by the mosque and once we fell back asleep the guests beside us were being incredibly loud and smoking. This wouldn’t have been a problem if the rooms were sealed but they aren’t. So at 6am I woke up to our room filled with cigarette smoke. I’m not a smoker so this made me instantly nauseous and furious. I give this review 3* because the manager did tell us the big group that was causing issues was leaving that day so this may have been a one off experience.
