Chonos Hotel Lovina

value for money but I recommend to take an extra step and pay a bit more to get a better stay in another place as this terribly needs renovation and better care - both rooms and the pool area.

Needs renovation. Noise from the main street.

Totally different from the pictures, I'm honestly trying to say something nice and can not. OK staff were trying to be friendly, nothing personal, but a bit better English is probably expected. Swimming pool was nice, a bit too cold in my opinion, but looks pretty, that is probably all of the good things I can say about our stay there.

Now bad staff...I personally do not like give people bad reviews, as they usually trying their best, but some time trying is not good enough even for me. Specially when when I can compare oranges with oranges in this case, 2 equally priced and positioned hotels one in Nusa Dua, one in Lovina. So as good was accommodation in Nusa Dua, that bad was hotel in Lovina...the room is dated and looks and feels depressing, it is dark and uncomfortable. It is attempted to look and feel authentic, but looks and feels cheap and untidy. We paid for the suite, it wasn't a suite, it was basically a room, as we worked out later a fracture bigger then standard with the mosquito net over the bed. It took us about 20 minutes to discover that aircon is dripping in to the room, after about 2 hours of going in and out of the room by smiling indonesian youth we were told: Sorry, it is bad...tomorrow... What is tomorrow? I asked....Tomorrow...OK I'm back to the reception. Could you please move us to another room...Have to speak to my boss... another hour past bye... knock on the door, we will move you... we were moved to the standard room, wich is smaller and cheaper, but we were still charged the suite rates next morning. I couldn't be bothered by $8, but as the matter of principal. Then the night came, and we realised that there are top floor rooms. Why we realised that? Because till 2am people upstairs were either playing basketball or exercising in marshall arts. When I went to the front there were absolutely no one to speak to. But I'd rather non went there as I noticed enormous cockroaches running around over the kitchen tables, they were so big and ugly. About 15 minutes later I jumped up as my wife was screaming in the bathroom, I went to check whats going on and the same size cockroach was running on the top of the bathroom basin.
