The highlight of our trip. It feels like home, so so nice, caring and lovely people to welcome us and help us through our stay.

Due to large rocks on beach, the water is not really accessible from resort for us oldies but great views to relax by.

The helpful staff, great food ,pool,location overlooking water, bungalow and surrounding gardens. Owners very helpful in organising our departure with driver and booking our boat tickets . Beautiful resort.

The waves were a bit rough and difficult to enter the water when we were there. We would have had to go else where to snorkel which we didn’t want to. A small thing which is fairly typical in Indonesia is that sometimes the staff call out loudly to one another or have loud conversations in the kitchen reception area while we were dining and close to the guests elsewhere within the pool & sun lounge area. Also coming to water the plants with a hose within centimetres right next to where we were relaxing on the sun lounges was unnecessarily intrusive. But other than that the staff were very friendly and helpful. ***Also please consider local artwork of the jukongs or similar rather than the fake awful ‘art’ on the wall behind our bed! Better to support local artists than have abstract prints!

Our ocean front room was amazing - so close to the waves crashing on the rocks in front. One morning we had a beautiful view of the sunrise over Mt Rinjani over Lombok. We absolutely loved watching the local boats sailing on the horizon and coming in each morning right on to the stone beach. So many of them! Being taken out for a sail on one of them was a highlight. We also hired a scooter and turned left away from Amed to ride through the scenic hills, villages and views of more bays of even more boats on the stone beaches. The food here was excellent. We always chose Indonesian dishes. But the creme brûlée was delicious for dessert.

A small ramp or steps to make it easier to get into the water.

Staff are very friendly and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. There's plenty of nature and farmland around, and the skin diving is great. We chose the position because it's 6km from the main centre of Amed, but I would recommend you hire a scooter while you are there to get around.

Beach was rocky and steep... difficult to get in and out of the water, but the snorkelling was spectacular. Long way to get to Amed so long drive (= less people).

Room was great, excellent view of the sea and sunrise. Restaurant offered simple and tasty food and was right on the rocky beach. Loved watching the fishing boats (jukung) return in the morning over breakfast. Pool was refreshing and tucked away with a nice shady area (or sunny) as the mood took us. Really enjoyed the snorkelling and sunset 'cruises' in a jukung... much more stable than they look!

Some small additions to the room - a shelf for soap/shampoo in the shower(s), better ventilation in the room (maybe fly screens on the doors?), better lighting (bedside lights were mood lighting, rather than reading lights) and some clothes hanging space or drawers in the room. And for swimming/snorkelling direct from the hotel, maybe some sort of ramp or handle would make getting in and out over the rocks easier.

Staff lovely, and food excellent. Very clean everywhere with beautifully maintained gardens. Location is away from the centre, and ideal if you want somewhere peaceful and quiet, and have your own transport (we rented a motorbike) to explore the area. Garden rooms are ground floor so only one or two steps.

I received a surprise upgrade to a room facing the sea so that was a wonderful surprise! The room was very large, clean and the bathroom was beautiful - open area with a lovely mountain view. Room had fan and air conditioning which was a bonus and not expected. Great location on the beach, lovely sea views and during breakfast you can see the fishing boats coming in. Staff were helpful in meeting my dietary requirements and Ari and his team helped with driving and planning my daily excursions. I felt safe walking around the neighborhood.

Not a dislike per se, but the open concept bathroom means there were little worms and tiny crabs that would be around the bathroom. I took it as part of the experience and the crabs were pretty cute! Also as the road to get to the resort has many pot holes, and the drive is long and windy, I didn't feel confident to rent a scooter - maybe the resort can consider a free shuttle service to and from Amed, share with other resorts in the same area.

Nalini was about 20 mins outside of Amed, away from the main road and so it was incredibly peaceful. It is right by the beach front and you can lounge on deck chairs by the pool or by the beach, enjoying the sound of the waves, and eat your meals with a view of the ocean. The grounds are well maintained, the rooms are spacious and clean. I especially liked the open concept bathroom with furniture I could wash and dry my swimmers on. I rented snorkelling equipment from the reception and walked to the nearby Japanese shipwreck - it was an interesting and simple swim, so this location is really prime for all the benefits that comes with it. The food was also good. I loved the breakfasts, you have many options to choose from, and the staff were always on hand to help. I stayed there for 4D3N and wish I could have extended further!

Nalini Resort is beachfront and we loved watching the fishing boats go out each morning. The restaurant serves beautiful food and all the staff were friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had a memorable stay. Highly recommend for a relaxing holiday.

Ari and his family do a fantastic job running their family resort, on the beach at Amed. The room was a good size, great location with the pool near our room. We had a beautiful dinner at the resort overlooking the ocean. The Japanese ship wreck is very close to the resort, with great snorkeling. We loved our short b stay at the Nalini, and hope to go back again. Highly recommend.

We loved Nalini! It is peaceful and out of the hustle and bustle, but still easy to get scooter or car to other areas of Amed if you wish. It is a lovely boutique style, family run hotel with amazing chefs, so the food is unbeatable. So much so, we took a wonderful cooking class with Chef Sri. Absolutely fantastic thing to do! Snorkeling straight off the property to the north is a nice coral garden and Japanese wreck. We love Nalini and will be back!

The breakfast was from a menu rather than all you can eat buffet, but for us, this was not an issue. The choices available were good. Dinner as well was excellent. One night unbeknowns to my wife, I had organised a wedding anniversary dinner. We had a private decorated table with flowers, a bottle of wine and a delicious 3-course meal. It was perfect!

U cannot enter the water because of huge waves and rocks. I tried and I got injured.

The hotel and view was nice, food good!

The live music on our last night by an Australian couple spoiled the atmosphere of this lovely oceanfront resort. We would rather listen to local artists or the ocean while having dinner .

We stayed in an ocean view room which had the most wonderful views, it is so close to the ocean that you can hear the rocks rolling on the beach that was churned up by the waves. The rooms were amazing. The beds were comfortable , the outdoor bathrooms awesome. The views from the pool was beautiful. Watching the fishing boats every morning was very enjoyable

Ocean front and direct access to snorkeling off the beach . Really lovely friendly staff and management - a small resort so they really look after you. Food was lovely too .

Beautiful location in a small fishing village with beautiful snorkelling right in front of the resort. Friendly staff and the food was a real surprise. The best I've had so far in Bali. Thank you.

Close to the beach for snorkelling. Good location as long as you don’t mind to be a bit further away from Amed. Nice and peaceful, seeing the fishing boats coming in at breakfast
