Perfect location but so much more” We had only one night at OK Divers prior to travelling to Gili Meno. Both my husband and I agreed that next time we would book an extra night or two because this place is amazing. The resort is as pretty as the photos, the staff from pick up to check out were exceptional and the location is perfect for those travelling onwards to Gili. The restaurant meals were tasty and fresh - I especially recommend the sambal that came with the Indonesian chicken dish! The resort took care of our tickets to Gili Meno for us and the price was competitive. We also booked the day spa and had the Balinese Delight package. Sensational - one of the best I’ve had and we walked out relaxed. While we didn’t book in to do a dive, from what we saw the resort had professional staff and were well equiped. If I had one thing I could change - it would be the pillows were a bit high but that really is personal preference and I’m really struggling to find a negative here!! Highly recommend this resort and we will be back next year but this time for an extra couple of nights!!
Padang Bai is definitely an underrated scuba diving destination. The macro spots are exceptional on all of the sites, but especially the Jetty. There are areas of very nice corals, beautiful walls, lots of turtles and very high possibilities of seeing white tipped sharks . Add in a trip across to Nusa Penida and you will have an excellent week diving at very reasonable prices, all just 90 minutes from an international airport. We really enjoyed staying in an authentic Balinese town with some great restaurants and a beautiful temple. Absolute Scuba is a gem, we have been coming her for several years and it is a joy to see improvements, all the while keeping the menu things that it is really great at. The rooms have been freshened up with new decor and the food, including those wonderful pancakes for breakfast, as good as ever. Again we had an exceptional experience diving with absolutely wonderful spots. Absolute has that wonderful friendly vibe that divers enjoy so much. The guides and the boat captain and the rest of the crew are all so lovely and friendly and kind. Wisnu took amazing care of us again, with lovely long relaxing dives. We missed a trip to Nusa Penida while we were there, but Michael very kindly arranged for us to do it from Amed on our last week in Bali. We had a private half an hour with constant manta action at the cleaning station. Looking forward to revisiting before too long !
Muy recomendable por el precio que se paga. Habitación con una pequeña terraza y una ducha exterior (que no utilicé). El desayuno incluido se elige la noche previa y se toma en el bar del mismo alojamiento que es abierto a la calle.
También ponen de forma gratuita dos botellas de agua.
Las chicas que atienden han sido muy agradables.
Se escucha el canto de los gallos de los vecinos, pero supongo que la mayoría de los alojamientos en Padang Bai tienen el mismo ”problema”.
The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, they prepared tea for us, helped us with our tickets to Nusa Penida and even shared some balinese treats with us after their ceremony. Loved the balinese cookies and bananas! Very good breakfast (thay had to wake up very early to prepare breakfast and to take us to the port in Sanur) Very comfortable bed, working AC, mosquito net, great value for money. Thank you! We also loved the blue lagoon (we walked there) there were monkeys on the trees on the side of the road. Very beautiful village.
