Reviews of Sempiak Seaside Resort

The location is fabulous, so close to the beach. Our villa and private pool was immaculate and very close to the beach. Facilities are very modern and the staff go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Would stay at Sempiak Seaside Resort again. Fabulous.

It was simply amazing, from food quality to staff friendliness and cleanliness of the room. My girlfriend needs gluten free food and they were able to always provide a viable alternative to her needs.

Nothing, 100% recommended.

Absolutely beautiful! Our room was clean, spacious, and had a stunning view. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I hope to return one day and I will be recommending this place to everyone I know traveling to the area. You will not be disappointed!

Private beach area with great selection of seating areas, carefully maintained by amazing staff, able to order food and drinks from them directly to your cabana, restaurant also awesome, right on the beach, beach was super clean and great waves. Massage also available by beach, luxury to listen to the crashing waves! Choice of two pools, one beside the room and the other a steep climb but worth the view! Could notice the attention to detail by the Kiwi owner, great to have a small kitchen area with large fridge - everything was clean and well maintained.

The rooms were quite spread out, our walk was a flat walk and about 5 minutes along gravel drive, through a farming area - no problem for us and they are happy to pick you up in a cart. Some rooms on the hill may be more of an issue for less mobile.

The staff were incredible- friendly, down to earth and so helpful. The beach is stunning and the restaurant amazing. We stayed in Kemiri- the closest villa to the beach and restaurant and suited our family with 4 kids ranging from ages 1-14 (the staff created a barrier at the bottom of the stairs so our one and three year old weren’t able to climb them). The resort was quiet, private, but had all the amenities needed for a great holiday.

The staff are so welcoming and friendly. There are so many places to chill out, the shaded platforms at the beach club were our favourite. It was great to surf all morning then relax there. The pool is stunning and a great place to watch sunset. Every meal we had was delicious, and it was the easiest place to get vegan food so far. Oh and they have amazing coffee! Big thanks to Husnul in the restaurant and Boyon at the beach club for making our stay so special.

We stayed at Sempiak for 7 nights in Villa Kolo, and it was without a doubt the most incredible stay we've ever had. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly arranged. We booked the airport transfer through the hotel and our driver was there well ahead of time, and the 25-minute drive to the resort was absolutely beautiful. The moment you arrive at Sempiak, all your worries melt away. The welcome by the host was exceptional, calm, clear, and thorough. They personally accompanied us to the villa and explained everything in a relaxed and caring way. Such a thoughtful start to our stay! Villa Kolo itself is one of the most stunning villas we've ever stayed in. The view is nothing short of breathtaking and the tranquility is unmatched. We took in the scenery at every possible moment and truly cherished every second spent there. There is 24/7 security on-site, which gives a great sense of safety. They can also drive you up or down the hill within 1–2 minutes of calling, though walking up is a bit of a workout if you’re up for it! Breakfast is fantastic: à la carte, perfectly portioned, and every single dish was delicious. The ingredients were fresh and everything was prepared with such care. The Laut Biru restaurant was a highlight, great food, a beautiful setting, and absolutely lovely staff. As a guest, you also have access to the resort’s luxury beach beds, each equipped with a fan and power outlet. Such a thoughtful touch! And we must give a special shoutout to Wawan from the beach team. He truly made our stay unforgettable. Always smiling, cheerful, hardworking, and incredibly kind. He is a true gem and a big reason why our time at Sempiak was so memorable.

If we had to mention a downside, it would be the bed, this could be due for replacement. But honestly, that’s the only thing we could think of.

Everything!

Nothing

The location on the beach is fabulous. Sunsets are amazing & at night seeing all the dotted lights from all the fishing boats out in the bay, was so beautiful & picturesque. The chefs are top rated serving a variety of delicious meals- Indonesian and western. Had to have the Chicken taco basket a few times! The rest of the staff were amazing, always smiling and greeting you. They are so highly professional & so lovely always there in a flash to cater to your needs. I will be booking again to stay at the Sempiak. Thank you again to Rox, Dani and all the wonderful staff.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

Location and staff friendliness

Nothing

Stunning resort with a very laidback vibe and helpful staff. We enjoyed 3 nights here and would have stayed longer if we could. The surfing next to the hotel was also great 😄

Location excellent. Staff fantastic.

Great villa (Kolo) with amazing view, very good restaurant reasonably priced and wonderful staff!! We spent a week relaxing and learning to surf. Highly recommend.

Stunning bungalows in great location, surrounded by the lush green jungle (with monkeys), only a 2 minutes walk from the beach with surf schools and warungs. Everything was perfect, from the check-in to the scooter rental, the massage and the restaurant with reasonable prices and tasty food. Super friendly staff!

Fantastic location with the resort restaurant right on the beach. We had breakfast with beach and ocean view almost all to ourselves, and had dinner there to see sun set right on the beach. The bay the hotel/restaurant is beautiful, clean and not very crowded. These are rare in Indonesia. The property is spread across 9 hectares of land with still a lot of natural beauty and rice paddies in the surrounding.

the resort restaurant on the beach is very beautiful, but given it is outdoor our dinner was ruined by a chainsmoker next to us. We get that folks can smoke outdoor, but we also have our rights to a secondhand smoke free dinner with a beautiful setting. Why does the smokers get to have all the rights. Ban smoking in the restaurant! They can just walk another 20 meters away to smoke in between courses.

Everything was excellent. I could not rate the resort high enough

In the rainy season the rubbish from the river is a problem. The resort staff and community go to great lengths to clean each morning. It's a problem they really try to manage.
