The Sankara Beach Penida

Wunderschönes Hotel, eigenes kleines Riff vor dem Hotel zum Schnorcheln, Frühstück war gut und à la card und man wurde auf jeden fall mehr als satt. Wir würden wieder kommen!

Große Spinne im Zimmer

Friendly service from the staff made up for other shortcomings this hotel has. Some of the staff (like Erna) could speak good English which made communication easy as she booked transport and a snorkeling trip for us. The view from the pool and restaurant is beautiful. For such a small hotel and kitchen, the breakfast was surprisingly good. Thank you!

Pictures give the illusion that each room has its own pool chairs in front of the room. This is not the case. There are double the amount of rooms for the amount of pool chairs. We stayed there for 4 days and could not use the chairs in front of our room once!! This creates a huge privacy issue which was my biggest concern staying in this hotel: unless you close your room curtains, you have NO privacy. People are in front of your room (walking and sitting on the pool chairs) the entire time. The bathroom towels are very old, small and low quality. I would have appreciated a change of clean pool towels during our 4 day stay. Scooter rental through the hotel was expensive so we contacted another rental service who delivered 2 scooters for us at the hotel.

Fantastic peaceful location on the beach, amazing rooms, great staff, good restaurant-we loved everything

We liked everything

The rooms were beautiful, comfortable and clean with a beautiful setting and view.

The staff were under trained, not easy to communicate with, often difficult to find someone to assist. No iniative taken, if they see you sitting by the pool they don't offer you a menu or drink. Management of the staff was poor it seems. The flies! Not sure if it was the time of year we went (December) but there were sooo many! Makes the stay quite unpleasant and ordering food just off-putting. The trash pile as you drive into the hotel's driveway is also terrible and something should be done about it. Our first impression driving in was not a good one and we considered canceling our stay on arrival. Sure it does not help with the fly situation either. For the beautiful location, the hotel does not offer any sort of activities, not even a set of mask and snorkel. They out source it from somewhere else which takes a while to organize. Overall a beautiful hotel that could be so much more!
