Puri Wirata Dive Resort And Spa

We love that it was right on the beach, the two pools were fabulous with the daybeds overlooking the ocean. Our room was spacious with a balcony with ocean views. The food was great, the stall were lovely, always smiling and helpful. The dive facility attached was fantastic. We would return in a heartbeat!

Great location, just a 5min walk to Lipah Beach which was nice and quiet compared to busy Amed and Jemeluk, but still good snorkelling. Lovely pools, facilities and outlook. Most staff were lovely, helpful and friendly. Fantastic 3 course breakfast which you could chose, included in room price below. Great value for money, approx NZD100 for two people per night in a lovely, big twin room with bathroom, balcony with lots of space and sea views. Mirror in the room (as well as bathroom) is great, and often missing from other hotels. Despite some minor downsides, would definitely recommend!

One waitress at the restaurant was terrible and rude. Dinner was also pretty bad - eat lunch and dinner elsewhere, there are some great places on the way to Lipah Beach. Had probably the worst pedicure of my life - one side cut so short and curved, they made me bleed, after I tried to tell her to only file not cut and keep them straight (language barrier, even if I knew some Bahasa Indonesia I don’t think I could have communicated that), the other side normal and longer, but both sloppy paint as she ran over time. You will need transport if you want to go anywhere else - we walked 3km to Jemeluk one day which would normally take us 30min. Took an hour due to hills, walking on dusty roadside with no footpath, and the heat! Stony beach at the resort, but Lipah just down the road is nicer and sandy. Steep driveway and lots of stairs, not an issue for us but would be for anyone who isn’t fit and unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. Bad lighting in the room and especially bathroom, and no extraction fan in bathroom. But think this is typical of cheaper hotels in Bali.

Spacious room, nice big balcony with a beautiful sea view (the room was on the 1st floor) and nice bathroom. There were 2 pools, which is good because one of them is almost always occupied by diving lessons, and the environment is pleasant: lawns, flowers and trees. Staff is effective and friendly, breakfast quite filling and offers several choices.

The bed was a bit hard, slightly uncomfortable but nothing really serious.
