We had an amazing time! We felt like this was our own private oasis. We had hopped around at places that ranged from $5-$25 a night, so we "splurged" the last 3 nights of our trip and it was perfect. This hotel is right on the beach with a few great surf breaks. This hotel offered us ultimate convenience and was perfect for my fiancee (surfer) and me (not a surfer). The beach in front of this place was great! Canggu itself is heavenly and a nice break from the hustle and bustle of motor bikes...gorgeous rice fields and be sure to vist Tanah Lot Temple!

THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM OF A HOTEL!!!
If you love the ocean, love to surf, appreciate a bit of luxury and don't want to share your holiday with package tourists "reserving" sun loungers by the pool at 6am and elbowing you out of the way to pile their plates as high as they can at the breakfast buffet, then this is the hotel for you.
Yes, this hotel is out of the way, but is situated beachfront on one of the best surfbreaks in Bali...what could be better than checking out the waves from your balcony, and knowing they are 10 steps away and a 50m paddle? With no crowds to share with?
This hotel is about 15 minutes by cab to the heart of Seminyak, or you can walk there via the beach (30-40 minute walk). We hired a car for the duration of our stay...there is plenty of free car parking at the hotel, and security to watch your car. There is another hotel next door (Bolare Beach Bungalows), but basically you are surrounded by the local community, not too many other tourists.
The quietness is beautiful, you feel like you are part of the Canggu community...it is a joy to see the all the village kids come down to the beach in the afternoon to play and splash about.
The hotel itself is lovely. The pool is sparkling clean and long enough for laps. You will often have it too yourself, which seems to add to the exclusitivity. It is set in beautiful beachfront gardens. You can watch the waves from the pool.
Breakfast, which was included in the tariff, is also fantastic. It is served in the oceanfront restaurant, and rather than a buffett, you can order from the menu and your choices are brought to you. It is such a wonderful place for breakfast, very relaxing...I often noticed alot of the expat business community would stop by here for breaky, despite not staying at the hotel.
The restaurant that serves breakfast is open all day, and also serves room service. All meals I had were of a very high standard, and room service was quick. And it was not overpriced!
The rooms are gorgeous, all with big balconies or terraces.
There is a good spa (but unfortunately, no gym).
The staff, like most in Bali were fautless.
I cannot recommend this hotel enough if you want to get away from the crowds. It is great for couples.
However, families may find it a little restrictive due to the location.
IF YOU SURF, YOU WILL BE IN HEAVEN!!
Quick tip: if you contact the hotel direct, they offer various discounts on the rooms, just ask.
