    This is our 3rd visit and it is as usual a perfect gateway from Singapore. The property is quiet and peaceful. Definitely a place to rejuvenate. It is also clean and stunning. The staff is friendly and so helpful every time. The food is fresh and taste amazing.

    Exquisite and unique ... a very special experience.

    It was all wonderful.

    The Sanchaya was a little piece of paradise that I was fortunate enough to experience. There are many wonderful things about the Sanchaya experience. I will mention just a few. One, the one standout feature above everything else, is the staff at the Sanchaya ... they were all incredibly helpful, kind, generous and friendly and they took a personal interest in our stay, while at the same time, maintaining the highest professional standards. It made my wife and I feel so special, to be welcomed on arrival at the hotel by the manager Greg himself, and his team. It would be invidious to mention any specific staff members, given that they were all so special, and each one of them stood out in his or her own way. But I have to say that Wawan was a constant presence, always friendly, always wonderfully helpful. Two, the art! Everywhere that the eye looked, including in our villa, there was an antique, an art object, a painting, a piece of furniture that was not just striking and beautiful, but positioned in just the exact right way. I had the sense that every detail had been thought through by someone with an exquisite artistic taste. Three, I have to say that it felt very special to step off the ferry and straight to the Sanchaya lounge at the ferry terminal, sipping coffee and eating snacks in the tastefully decorated lounge, while the staff sorted everything out. The experience was repeated on the way back, as the staff dealt with all formalities, and we were simply waved through. And four, last but not least, the wonderfully creative and delicious food, from breakfast through to dinner (my wife also did the cookery course, and she picked up so many helpful ideas from Yunike, who helped us in so many other ways). We also got to meet Budiarto, the Executive Chef, who provided a magical touch to all the dishes that we ate. My wife and I were left with wonderful memories of a very special and unique resort hotel.

    Breakfast comprehensive and well presented. Some of the “European” items on the dinner menu not of a high standard. I would advise people to stick with the Indonesian.

    I think that it's time for the property to do some renovation and maybe change some outdated features in the room (for instance, the TV in the bedroom was quite old).

    The hospitality in this property is beyond excellent. Staff members remember your name, which I think is a really nice gesture from them. I also loved that the room was spacious and comfortable with all the basic amenities included. The service over all was great, and the food was delicious (both restaurant and in room dining). INO from the dining room was super friendly and smiley :)

    At Christmas time, the cost is eye watering expensive. I had to but the bullet but I’ll remember it forever.

    It’s gorgeous. Staff are incredible, everyone knows your names, so friendly. The rooms are large and luxurious, with a large balcony looking over the pool, looking at the beach. I was so impressed.

    Exceptional beauty of the colonial style of the hotel. Very kind service. Beautiful vegetation of the garden. Wonderful breakfast and dinner. Very convenient transportation back and forth from the ferry terminal. Absolutly delighted and I strongly recommend especially from Singapore

    It's true that the property is a bit rundown though very well maintained. The public areas are okay. The room itself may need some refurbishment like the flooring, main door (when you closed the down, you can see a gap between the frame and the door already) and the tabletops (need polishing)

    The staff were all very courteous, friendly and help including the top management. This was reflected all the way when we arrived at the ferry terminal and till our departure to board the ferry home. This is something that all people who are in the hospitality industry should adopt, regardless of the type of property. Sadly, not many. We also like the food that were being served at The Dining Room. The serving staff were so patient (especially Maria and she has fantastic memory).

    Some bits of it felt a little tired but a quick refresh will do the job.

    The services staff were excellent and the food was very good. It was luxuriously decked out and we loved every bit of the look and feel it offered. The location is only 7 minutes in a car away from the ferry terminal and a very secluded location. The beach was clean and very serene.

    Wi-fi can be improved, had some slight problems with connection stability Also be aware that sea is very shallow, but it might be even better for a holiday with kids.

    We loved our stay here: flawless service, perfect villa with lots of nice compliments (free minibar, good cosmetics, slippers and a bag for the pool etc), great territory and facilities - everything was very stylish and looked expensive :) Food was also great, special thx for the breakfast menu and cocktails.
