Not sure where to begin, my husband and I along with another couple booked with Arya Amed for 10 days and from day one it was an incredible experience.
We were upgraded to the bungalows due to group bookings at the hotel, no complaints there. The bungalows are sweet, with all the comforts.
No issues at all with wifi or air conditioning. Television in the bungalow has several channels that we could watch, although we did not use it much.
Staff at the hotel were amazing and made our time here at Arya Amed amazing. Made (female), Elu (not sure of spelling), Made (male) and Gede are incredible staff and truly made our stay amazing and very special.
The grounds and gardens were extremely well kept and the young men working daily on the grounds to keep Arya Amed beautiful did an amazing job. The gardens are beautiful! The pool was great, there is also a small childrens pool.
There is no spa at the hotel, but while staying at Arya we were told they could organize onsite services.
If you can get up early, highly recommend catching the sunrise! Amazing.
Food at the hotel restaurant was delicious, read precious reviews and was surprise to hear people complain. We never had a bad meal! Breakfast was not a buffet style but seriously you had a choice of such good food for breakfast! Again, the staff was amazing and catered to all our needs.
No direct access to snorkling fromthe resort beach, but if you walk out the back to the beach access take a hard left and walk down to where you see the bouy in the water, past the river you will run into great snorkling! Fish and corals galore.
Highly recommend ECODIVE who partners with the hotel. One of the first diving companies in Amed and an amazing staff made up of locals. Owner is Canadian who is married to a local and has lived in Amed for over 20 years.
There are a couple shops outside of the resort and an ATM we used with no issues directly accross the street from the resort.
Beside the resort restaurant we highly recommend Pazzo which is next door and The Grill which is just around the corner from the resort. Amazing food from both places.
Hotel offers laundry service, but we found a place just down the street that was great.
Must mention that the resort went beyond what was expected for my husbands birthday! Just can not thank the staff and management for our incredible experience.
