Nalini Resort

Staff very helpful and friendly. It’s very windy and the water is quite choppy. The food was fine but I expected more from the photos on Expedia

This is a family-owned place and the pride of ownership shows. It is spotless, as they are constantly cleaning. Nothing is too much to ask and they will organize whatever you want (such as snorkeling trips, cars, etc). They will do laundry for you at $6 per load. Massages were amazing at $12 per hour. Their chef is just spectacular (lots of people from other resorts were coming to eat) and she will give you a private cooking class at $25 per person, which includes your meal. (Be sure to try her "hot ginger fish"---it's unbelievable.) The fish is as fresh as you can get, having just been caught by the retired fisherman owner of the place. The pool is just gorgeous, also spotlessly clean, and there is terrific snorkeling immediately in front of the hotel (although entry via the rocky beach can be a bit challenging). Bottled water provided in your room. Air conditioning, comfortable beds, plenty of fluffy towels---there is nothing you will want for. The entire place is meticulously maintained; we loved the outdoor private shower. You'd have to look hard for anything to fault here; they were better than the Moana Surfrider in Hawaii, which we just left. Quiet and serene, not for families or those looking for a party hot spot.

Nalini is a beautiful and peaceful place with the most incredible sunrises I have ever seen. The staff is friendly, professional and kind and work hard to make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. The sound of the waves on the rocks is mesmerizing as well. Best place to stay in Bali!

A slice of absolute heaven right on the beach. Our room was stunning and we spent a lot of time on the balcony overlooking the water. Such a relaxing place. The restaurant is fabulous and breakfast was outstanding. The staff are all wonderful and owner Ari takes the time to check in that all is well. He organised a fabulous fishing charter for my husband and they came back with mire than 30 yellow fin and Benito. The restaurant cooked our fish for dinner and it was the tastiest Balinese meal i have ever had. The snorkelling is terrific ( enter on high tide) and the Japanese wreck is a real treat. Fabulous location and a very welcoming atmosphere.
