“Unique location, maintenance could be improved”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

We arrived to Waka Shorea a little bit concerned from some comments read on Trip Asdvisors about cleanness of rooms and animals (rats) inside the room. Fortunately all our concerns disappeared after few hours of our stay: the environment was pretty clean, a lot of staff personnel ready to help always available, a very nice swiming pool and spa, and a great coral reef just in front of the resort. During the three nights we stay, staff personnel was much more numberous than guests.
Each room is one cottage in the forest, 50m from the beach, only 14 rooms + 2 suites are the resort. In such a wild environment, the maintenance should be improved a little bit, and the resort would become really exclusive.
Price are not cheap, specially considering that meals are to consumed within the resort (basically no other options); but the unicity of the position justifies such prices.
After a few days stay, the permanence over there could become boring (no attractions than nature) and really expensive... be careful in booking very long stay.
We would repeat that experience.

Room Tip: It is more expensive than equivalent resort in Bali, and once you are there you have no other option...

“High unused potential”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011 via mobile

Isolated and unique location, friendly staff, very nice cottages in the national park. Damaged reef in front of the hotel, with free snorkling and canoeing equipment from the hotel. Travellers should realise that the resort is located in the national park, including its inhabitants like monkeys, deer and wild pigs and far away from a nearby village. The food and service in the restaurant was not in line with the price. All in all, it seems like there is a lot of unused potential in this resort.

“This is what we needed”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011

After a long trip from Jakarta and the busy environment in Java, we finally found a beautiful place to rest and enjoy the nature. Snorkeling, laying on the beach, trekking through the mangrove forest and plenty of animals for your entertainment. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Next time we visit Bali we will stay for a longer period.

“a must go”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2011

This place is amazing, just check out the foto's online. It is really like that. The staff is friendly but not very enthousiastic (they should train them better). But who cares, look where you are!!

“Great location for a break but a little too rustic”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2011

people found this review helpful

Stayed here with friends, loved the 'cabins' but I think a few dollars need to be spent for this to actually be defined as a resort. Most things are a little run down, perhaps it is designed to be 'shabby chic'. Little too much shabby not enough chic methinks.

The staff are all very sweet but additional training is required, especially when it comes to the spa, where the prices are high and the quality very low.

Food (dinner) was very lovely.

The bets part was seeing the in house piggy family racing about and of course spending quality time with my partner and friends.

Oh yes, it is rather nice to be able to snorkel straight off the beach in front of the Resort - albeit a fairly rocky beach.

NB: Wireless only really works while perched on the bar stools - I wonder if this is deliberate to keep the booze flowing.
