Sudamala Resort, Sanur, Bali

Tolle Anlage.

What I loved: The location: although by the road, the way they have designed the hotel is so unassuming stretching out into the back with the restaurant along the main road, then the rooms and the lobby and then the pool and spa. So the space becomes more and more tranquil as you walk into the venue. The decor: it’s beautifully designed from the stunning bedroom Balinese doors. To the paintings across the large hallways, to the room decor and little ornaments to the greenery running through the entire place. It feels like such an oasis. The staff: everyone was so lovely. So welcoming and so helpful. The turnaround service: they leave cute little stories about Balinese Gods and history, along with little night time biscuits. It’s a very cute touch. They also burn incense and put mosquito coils in the balconies too all to make it more hospitable. What could improve: The towels: they look so dated and have all past their throw date. Some fresh new towels, floor mats, hand towels for the hotel would really complement its aesthetic. The bathroom smell: this is a Bali wide problem in some places in my opinion and not specific to this hotel. The sewage / plumbing back up causes a foul odour in the bathroom. I’ve experienced this in Sanur and Seminyak. So something in the room to help like incense or constant spray will help mask.

We had a great welcome when we arrived with a hot drink and information of how things worked. The staff were friendly polite and conscientious.
