This place is a gem. They have expensive modern accommodation with AC as well as rustic huts which are SUPER cheap. Regardless of which you choose, the staff are really helpful. This last time I took a long weekend break to clear my head and the peace and tranquility was perfect. They deliver hot drinks before dawn and the provided breakfast is hearty enough to set you up til dinner.
The male staff were all lovely. The bungalow was dirty - I had to take the mosquito net down, it wasn't clean enough too sleep under. The bathroom was filthy, and the towel smelt. A rodent got into my bag during the night, and ate my snacks.. The morning hot water was a lovely touch! The girls in the cafe were sullen, and the food sadly was made without love. The whole place needs refurbishing - the location is lovely, but I left feeling like I needed a scrub down.
I'm sleeping outside every night.. on the daybed on the "porch" of the little Bambu bungalow.. .. falling asleep to the waves and the crickets..it's dark but I feel so safe... Waking up to the birds and the fishermen quietly taking their boats out. I walk a few meters down to the sea and just sit in the water on my own, waiting for the sun to rise.. Just a few local people are up.. And me.. It's so quiet.. When the sun is up I take my sarong and go down to the pool for a few laps.. 6 o'clock and still no people around. This is the only place in Amed with this quiet old Bali vibe.. All the other places I passed on the way out here are all alike.. It's worth getting here. If you are looking for peace.. Come here. I stayed for five nights and thinking about coming back later on my journey and do some snorkeling which my fellow neighbors say is fantastic. Right where I saw the huge school of dolphins the other day. The restaurants most expensive dish is 54.000.. There are a few bungalows with AC too if you find it too hot to sleep.. Or why not do like me.. And if you do.. Don't forget mosquito repellent.. :) Enjoy! …
We spent 8 days in the deluxe bungalows, mainly relaxing and snorkeling. The place is so peaceful and beautiful, far away from everything, definetly in a good way. The bungalows are just by the sea, and it was easy to snorkel many times per day. The restaurant has the tables on the beach, it is incredibly beautiful. Great to see the fishermen returning every morning to the beach. Really a place where I want to return to to relax and enjoy simple life.
The beachfront Good Karma bungalows can be divided in three .. at the far end some six original bungalows with thatched roofs and smallest of the three: they were the first to be built by the Balinese/Japanese couple owning Good Karma. In the middle some enlarged bungalows with a second mezzanine bed, and at the other end some four villas with kitchenette and two kingsize bed, for families. These have a tiled roof and airco. There is a pool near the villas and the housereef stretchs along the beach for superb snorkeling. The restaurant serves local and sort-of Japanese food. Friendly service and pricrs are beyond belief.
Absolute beachfront in beautiful Amed, far from the hustle of Kuta, Sanur, Seminyak etc. Not our first visit to Amed, but the first stay at the Good Karma Bungalows. Great value for money all round. Always a highlight to watch the djukung returning each morning to the beach at your doorstep with the day’s catch...
It's a bit of a trek to get to but well worth the journey! We were blown away by how close we were to the water! It is literally right in front of the bungalows! By bungalows, I mean they were very basic. We opted for the open air, no aircon, which in September is fine with the weather. It's basically a big queen size bedroom with an little loft that had another double bed, (perfect for an afternoon nap). The bathroom was a modern addition and a bit of a pleasant surprise. Every morning we woke to a flask of hot water so we could prepare a cup of coffee or tea, which was that little extra that made it special. Out the front was a day bed and a couple of chairs, where we spent most of our time after a swim or a snorkel, just reading, relaxing and napping! The restaurant had a variety of things to eat, we stuck to the traditional dishes though and of course, cold Bintang!!! I have never been so relaxed and enjoyed myself doing pretty much next to nothing! It was brilliant and we are already talking about our next visit to Good Karma! Everyone was super lovely and so friendly. It's a beautiful spot to unplug and drop out!!! LOVED IT!!!…
Good Karma Bungalows were just what I didn’t know I was looking for! I needed to relax and so my Amed Accom needed to be comfy enough to lounge around in all day. These bungalows are right on the beach and mine had a blissful balcony with a big day bed and hammock so I could unwind to the sound of the waves. Delicious breakfast included with plenty of options. Great cafe too for dinner. I would go back!
Could not rate this place enough. Great sized room, excellent breakfast also tea and coffee brought to the room. Smack bang on the beach with all the fishing boats right on your door step. And the best spot for sunrise - absolutely magical. I live in Bali and looking forward to another mini weekend break away!
Pros: Location, location, location... this place is "on" the beach. Beautiful 6:30am sunrises! Generous breakfast with delectable juices, fruit platters and rice/pancake dish. Cons: Pool was not being maintained as required, hence water was not transparent. (Nothing of their fault, but come prepared with insect repellent...)
