    Nothing

    Breakfast was at the beachfront at the other Scallywags establishment. Option number 4 is being requested three weeks after getting home. From the moment we arrived, every staff member task seemed to look after our every need.

    Although the breakfast was nice, it is a 10 min walk from the hotel. Outside bathroom so not the cleanest but overall in a good condition

    Lovely big room & comfortable bed. Small pool area but nice to have. Good aircon. Decent water pressure. Good breakfast choice.

    Only negative is that it was too noisy particularly through the night.

    Great location, fantastic air conditioning, comfortable bed and good amenities. Smart TV, fridge & tea making facilities were very good also. Right in the middle of the island so could walk everywhere within minutes. Really good stay.

    A little bit claustrophobic space around the room. Green colour of water in swimming pool. We had to wait for the reception hosts to make check-in.

    Big, pretty (nice decorations) and comfortable room with fridge, hairdryer etc. Big, the most comfortable bathroom we had in Indonesia with very nice cosmetics (even hair conditioner and body lotion). The breakfast was served in bar on the beach - 10 minutes walk but with excellent seaview. Hotel is 6 minutes walk from harbour.

    The pool was filthy and green due to the amount of algae growing on the walls. The smell of chlorine was overpowering and it didn’t need that much it just needs a clean. You asked about the staff but we wouldn’t know as we didn’t see anyone the reception was unmanned our entire stay!

    Great location, lovely rooms, great shower , lovely breakfast just a 5 min cycle way at the main resort with truly lovely staff.

    It is right next to the mosque so you get woken up at 5am everyday with the prayer calls! We think this is why the hotel is cheap. The toilets at the beach club were horrible, and there was little sun if you wanted to tan. Breakfast was okay, definitely get the full English as this was the best option. You get breakfast at the beach club. There was rarely anyone at reception, they are responsive on WhatsApp but it’s tricky to actually speak to anyone. The first day we did not get hot water because they rely on solar power to heat the water.

    Really nice room and bathroom, nicer than the pictures actually! Really good location, easy to walk to from the pier and near the Main Street of shops/restaurants. The beach club was also nice with comfy chairs and good sea access.

    Breakfast is served about a 10-minute walk from the accommodation at Scallywags Beach Club. While it’s a bit of a distance, it’s actually quite nice since the location is right by the sea and very beautiful. They don’t provide water with breakfast, but the portions are generous and the food tastes amazing. The bathroom is outdoors, which can feel a bit uncomfortable at night as the lighting is not very strong.

    The location of the accommodation is great—just a 4-minute walk from the harbour. The staff are very friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The room and the pool are both very nice and clean. The room is spacious, comfortable, and spotless, with a very cozy bed and clean sheets. They also provide both bathroom and pool towels, which is a great bonus.

    the room isolation is not great, very noise in the morning. We woke up every single night around 4am with the prayers. Apart from that, would be great to have free bikes or at least discounted, especially as the breakfast is not at the same hotel...

    the breakfast is good and the place is really nice, right in the beach. Also gives you free access to the chairs in that beach that is really beautiful

    As mentioned by other reviewers, the rooms would benefit from better lighting, especially reading lights. There are three keys to enter the property,and it would be very helpful if these were color coded for the doors to allow for easier access.

    We loved our quiet and comfortable room. The outdoor bathroom was a unique experience that we enjoyed. The breakfast menu at the Beach Club had a great selection and the views were outstanding. Just know that breakfast is a 10-12 minute walk from Scallywags Smugglers to the Beach Club, but we had no issues with this.

    Bathroom probably wasnt clean before our arrival:( There was sand in the shower, also holes in the roof so we had some unpleasant guests like cockroach, which was inevitable

    Big room, ac was working and the stuff was really polite and helpful. Breakfast was great and the restaurant was located on the beach where you could also use free sunbeds. Pool amd the area was clean but a little bit small

    Bathroom could’ve been cleaner. Check out was inefficient and took a while. Walking 10 minutes to breakfast could be a problem for some, we did not mind.

    Bed and bedroom were very comfortable. Being able to use the scallywags beach club facilities was fantastic.

    We did not know that the breakfast was served in another facility which was 10 mins away by walk. (The walk was pleasant and the breakfast was at the beach) Wifi connection was very poor.

    The location is walking distance to the harbour. The room was spacious and it felt nice from the very first step. We (guests) had free access to the beach club and the sun-beds. The staff were very responsive. Scallywags have a several services. They helped us with the fast boat transfer and also private snorkelling tour.
