Senggigi Beach

Great location! Away from the hustle bustle and close enough to great restaurants, sunset venues and beaches. Note there really isn’t a beach out front but plenty of swimmable beaches close by. We stayed in a pool access room - well worth the upgrade as the rooms towards the front of the hotel lack privacy and exposed to late night music. The chilled pool and terraced restaurant are highlights! Staff are incredibly sweet and friendly. Menu is hit and miss. Order the pork belly and sweet potato fries! Bfast every morning is delicious and good people watching. Seriously best coffee! Double shot lattes. Sleeping was comfortable with nightly turn down service and air conditioned rooms. We left doors open and fan on. Roosters and birds are a nice way to wake up around 5am. They also serve afternoon tea with selection of tea, coffee and light bites complimentary to pool villas.

Dirt disguised as animal welfare. Yes they have a goat and they have animals, the advertisements and marketing around it is very cute. What they don't show you is that they don't clean the cages and they absolutely stink, the goat ( although cute) leave dropping everywhere which are not often cleaned and the cats do with the place whatever they feel like it, including sleeping on the terrace chairs over your clean clothes or towels you felt to dry. Place is not well kept, a little bit of wind shook the door to our room all night long making it impossible to get some rest and there were rats in the roof which we could hear at night, chewing on the wood. Shampoo mixed with water so you don't spend much and the staff just looks like they don't care half the time. Breakfast is a no no, only two options eggs and pancakes. Seeing as they are charging as much as a 4 star hotel in Gili, I expected so much more

My stay at Sudamala was unforgettable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and provided a perfect night's sleep. The hotel's central location made exploring the Senaggigi a breeze, and the delicious food at the restaurant was a fantastic bonus. There is local restaurant across the street along with laundry and a mini mart for snacks. I loved the area and was super glad I chose Senggigi over Kuta
