We had a lovely experience. We swam an snorkled. The local people were beautiful.
Pros:

Location, quite small & intimate. Great! The shuttle bus was so convenient. The food was excellent as was the service! Had a family vibe everyone chatted. Massages on the gazebo with the sounds of the waves in the background could not be beaten.

Cons:

Nothing

Anbefales
Pros:

Dejligt lille sted, som dog er lidt slidt. Værelserne er fine og rene og en virkelig stor og god altan med en liggestol. Personalet er fantastiske og hjælper med alt. Der er en lille bus, der kører en rundt i Amed, hvis man ønsker det. Så nemt og behageligt. Gode restauranter i nærheden. Roligt ved pool og strand og masser af liggestole.

Cons:

Stedet er slidt og trænger til at blive ordnet. Døre der ikke kan lukke ordentligt m.v. Anbefaler det alligevel, da det er et fantastisk sted med fantastisk personale.

Relaxed, recharged, ready for the next adventure.
Pros:

Location, views, gardens. Perfect spot to do nothing or do lots. Snorkeling directly in front of hotel, enough eating places within walking distance and mini mart. Perfect for a lay back, read a book, snooze by the pool or beach and watch the ocean.

Cons:

Everything was good, food could be improved but was ok.

Amed Beach delight
Pros:

Good size rooms. Staff efficient and friendly.
Location is excellent. A shuttle service is provided.

Cons:

In general, the pool area could receive more attention, eg sweeping and hosing down. Also sun lounges could be a bit cleaner.

Excellent
Pros:

Excellent hotel. Big rooms. Good bed. Quiet aircon. Good breakfast . Super clean.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like was the restaurant charging 15% service and tax on top of the menu prices. This is unlike the small restaurants all around which do not charge this surcharge. Solution = eat dinner elsewhere

Pros:

Comfy beds and clean bathrooms. Pretty goalie breakfast. We much preferred this location (over Amed beach). Perfect spot to hang by the pool or on the beach (the hotel has lounge chairs you can use on either). Cheap massages available right on the beach through the hotel. Good snorkeling right from the hotel beach (can rent a mask for like $3). A few good warungs nearby. Nice staff. Upgraded our room for the first night for free.

This is our second time at the Bali Bhuana beach cottages. We love it! The location is great with many restaurants withi
Pros:

Great staff, very comfortable and incredibly relaxing. . There is also a lovely little beauty spa across the road . The beauticians are adorable and keen to please.
We came back to the Bhuana beach cottages because it is small and very inviting. The gardens are well maintained, the staff are very friendly and the view is beautiful. We will be back.

Cons:

All good!

Pros:

Wir haben uns in den direkt am Strand gelegenen Cottages so wohl gefühlt, dass wir unseren Aufenthalt als fünfköpfige Familie dort dreimal verlängert haben.
Die Hütten sind einfach eingerichtet, aber total sauber und es wird Trinkwasser angeboten. Zum Frühstück konnten wir aus verschiedenen Optionen wählen und alle waren zufrieden.
Vor der Anlage ist direkt ein kunterbuntes Riff und 50 m rechts haben wir jeden Tag Schildkröten erschnorchelt. Hier liegt auch ein Schiffswrack, für die Kinder natürlich besonders spannend!
In der direkten Nachbarschaft gibt es gute Warungs, einen kleinen Supermarkt und SPA Möglichkeiten.

Die Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich, haben uns Ausflüge und Fahrten organisiert und unseren Sohn sogar zum Fußballtraining gefahren : )

Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen, wenn es uns wieder nach Amed treibt !

Cons:

Die Zimmer könnten etwas schöner eingerichtet sein, ansonsten alles top!
