Rambutan Hotel

Not sure there will be enough room but here goes... Friendliness of staff (made you feel like part of an extended family) Tini, the owner was a powerhouse of knowledge and greeted all the travellers with such a friendly manner and was happy to sit and chat. Location was superb. Quick stroll to beachfront, convenience stores, warungs and restaurants, the main road, art and craft markets and nightlife/bars Different levels of accommodation all at bargain prices and included breakfast Two swimming pools (smaller pool near budget rooms and larger resort-style pool located at back of resort) with lots of sunbeds and shaded daybeds. Rooms cleaned to perfection and a jug of water replenished daily or refill at water stations in reception or restaurant. On-site restaurant had a selection of delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack options with a relaxing view over the resort-style pool. Spa on-site was amazing and well worth paying a little more for absolute bliss. Lovina is a wonderful place to stay, unwind and enjoy the peaceful life of North Bali. I will definitely be going back to Rambutan and stay longer. On this trip I stayed for 14 nights and could easily have stayed for a month or more!

Among the most beautiful hotel grounds I've ever seen, with lush tropical gardens and thoughtful landscaping. The rooms are older-style with Balinese-influenced details, very attractive and - in my opinion - much nicer than a modern-style hotel. Our rooms were upstairs with an interconnecting door (very useful!) and large balconies. The rooms themselves were huge, with high ceilings, and lovely views of the mountains and the garden. Beds were comfortable. Two swimming pools, both lovely and always clean. Pleasant breakfast/restaurant area, and staff were helpful making gluten-free adaptations for my child with coeliac disease. Hotel was lovely and quiet, away from the busy main road but close to everything, and staff were friendly.

Rambutan hotel is a wonderful relaxing place to stay. With large clean rooms,beautiful gardens , two swimming pools, a restaurant on site and a short walk to the beach front and good warungs and restaurants it is very good value. The room (deluxe) was huge and had a big bathroom with a constant flow of hot water, the fridge was large and cold. The wifi worked well throughout the property and staff were great. Breakfast choices were limited but were fine and they could be topped up ( for a price) from the menu. The large pool near the restaurant was heaven and was super clean. Will be back.

The deluxe room was large, very clean, had a lovely bathroom with a powerful shower, a fridge, good AC, provided drinking water, had a safe and a terrace. There are 2 swimming pools, we only used the one by the restaurant. It was clean and beautiful. The area around the pool and the gardens are really pretty and well maintained. A lovely setting for breakfast/meals. The hotel is very close to the beach (5 minute walk) and there are many restaurants, bars, shops and tour offices on the road to the beach. A cheap laundry is literally opposite the hotel gate.

The position is excellent, 3min walk from the beach and 3mins walk from the main street. Room was large, clean and peaceful, silent. Restaurant location within the hotel is superb, just aside the swimming pool and with a view on the internal garden/forest. Great breakfast service for the late sleepers! We could order the breakfast for them and take it to their room. Dinner menu was rich and high quality balinese food. Personnel is really an asset for the place - very helpful, kind, always available and discreet - the latter being very rare in Bali! They really stand out.
