Sanak Retreat Bali

Super amazing place. Silence. Good food. Friendly staff. Cozy bungalows.

The setting of this hotel is idyllic. The views at sunset are mesmerizing and you don’t want the sun to disappear it is so nice. As many have mentioned it is a small resort where most of the bungalows are around the restaurant and pool. The charm is undeniable, the landscape soothing but be aware that during the dry season= summer it is vastly occupied by families, and young kids too.. so the serene setting of the pool may be disturbed. May be 1/2 of the bungalows are multi rooms and therefore be aware if you travel as a couple. it seems to be a favorite for the French families in particular. The spa therapists are excellent and the treatments excellent. The petal bath after a message is heavenly! The food is local and good and options are enough for a 3 days stay. You need a car or to book touring through the hotel, you are outside of the village. The temps are very pleasant in July, warm but still cool enough that you need some sleeves in the evening. Now in terms of negatives, first is that bungalows are wood and 2 of them are next to restaurant so noise is inconvenient at night. The staff will leave at 10 pm which is the end of service but it is well accepted that people hang out beyond that time and continue chatting , or running ( kids) for a bit longer. It feels like they are in your room. The second one, is that the room is small with no real room for luggage. Be prepared to live off your suitcase. And last, the breakfast menu is limited and portions small. Very importantly the people are sweet and want to please and help.

Our room was very comfortable, an open view of the mountains and greenery with the relaxing sound of natural water in the background. Service was courteous and professional and hassle-free. The restaurant food is nice, a balanced taste - not oo spicy or bland. Choice of food is good. We enjoyed our 3-night stay.

That is our favorite place in Bali. Sanak Retreat is the perfect place for families. the place is stunning, with a great restaurant which serves an excellent food overlooking the pool. The bungalows are really comfortable and cozy. We had a sunrise snd sunset balcony with picture perfect postcard views. The massages are very relaxing and there are lots of kids activites like kite flying, balinese dance, rice harvesting, offering making class. The Balinese staff is superfriendly and helpful, you almost feel like at home, of course we wish to have a home like this. Thumps up.

This is our favorite hotel in Bali. It's in the middle of the rice fields with beautiful mountain views from anywhere. Our wooden bungalow was very cozy, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Since the temperatures are lower here and less humid than the coast, we did not turn on the AC at all during our stay. We loved the food in the restaurant, very delicious. The seafood pasta, the roasted duck or the octopus carpaccio were out favorites. The spa is another highlight here, all the therapists were just fantastic. All the staff is very humble, helpful and friendly at the same time. You feel like at home right away. We chose the trekkking tour to a waterfall nearby, fantastic experience since there are almost no people. We only stayed two nights, which is not enough. We would definetly come back stay longer and try more excursions.
