Besakih Beach Resort

After reading all the reviews on Besakih, I booked two rooms for my family and arrived last week. We live in Indonesia and travel to Bali fairly often as our first holiday destination be it for a quick weekend or longer. Arriving we were greeted warmly by two reception staff who were very friendly thus first impressions were favourable. Shown to our rooms, two standard rooms in the old hotel part, in fact just a few doors down from the reception area itself on the ground floor. Walking into the room, the first thing we... more

The Besakih in Sanur is a great place to stay, its location on the Sanur beach is perfect, with choices of many restaurants and shops either on the beach or back on the road from which to choose. The Hotels rooms seem somewhat dated but are kept clean by a very friendly group of staff who will go the extra mile to ensure your stay is is a happy one. I must admit to getting confused as to what Hotel to choose for our 6 night stay in Sanur, so i started reading Trip Advisor Reports on all the potentials. Reading between the lines of... more

Very good hotel: good food, location. Comfy beach area with shade and a pool on the edge of the property facing the beach. Reasonably priced. Bungalows have a better view (of the garden) than std hotel rooms.

My partner and I have just returned from 5 amazing days at this beautiful beachside hotel. There may be more modern hotels along the Sanur beachfront but to us this hotel encapsulated the spirit of Bali - beautiful garden surroundings, relaxed, comfortable, non pretentious, outstanding service and friendly staff who were prepared to go the extra mile (the poor chef was asleep on the beach one night and they woke him at 10pm to make us pancakes! - he was on duty but was so obliging and friendly. The location is amazing - right on... more

This hotel was fantasic value for money. Right on the beach & very close to markets,& many great beach front restaurants. Rooms were nice but we spent most of our time at the beachside pool. Staff were very friendly & helpful & honest. Beautiful grounds & a beachside restaurant. We also stayed at Legian but would definately stay at Besakih again. We were in a two story thatched roof bungalow but the rooms looked nice too.

My husband and I found the Besakih Beach Resort on TripAdvisor and decided to call them directly to book our stay in Bali. They gave us the best rates, only USD45 per night for a bungalow. The grounds were beautifully kept, the bungalow had AC, large bedroom, and clean bathroom, plus a mini-frig. They have two pools that are carefully kept, with flowers dropping down from the shady frangipani trees all around. The property is on the beach, and the generous American daily breakfast (included) is served in the open air restaurant... more

Located on the beach, there was a lovely breeze blowing to keep things cool. We were in a Bungalow with a verandah the other guests and staff were all very friendly. Ricky the manager was absolutely fantastic when I took sick nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. I would highly recommend this fantastic place to anyone. The food at the restaurant was good and well priced. The swimming pools were wonderful, you could lean against the side and watch the world go bye on the beach only metres away.

When our son told us he was getting married in Bali we were less than enthusiastic. However, we have just returned from 8 glorious - picture perfect - relaxing and stress free days in Bali. On top of that it was really inexpensive! The wedding was beautiful, the staff at Besakih Beach Hotel went out of their way to ensure that our new daughter-in-law had the day she had dreamed of. The Besakih was a great hotel, after a week most of the staff new us by name - and all had great joy teaching me snippets of Balinese! We had swims at midnight in... more

as you can see i was at besakih quite a long time ago, we had booked into another resort which was further back from the beach, and even though it was lovely it was too hot, my friend did a bit of exploring and found besakih over the road, and with the sea breeze it was perfect, the rooms are very clean, we had a bungalow at the front by the pool which was wonderful, the staff are fantastic, as are some of the long term residents, as the other post said, it is self contained but just a short walk along the beach to great little... more

I have stayed at Besakih twice, as you can see the last time was quiet a while ago! Though most people in my family go twice a year and usually stay at besakih. I have just heard they have renovated!!! This is a lovely hotel, beautiful little bungalows set in fantastic gardens. Most are positioned so you can sit outside of your room in privacy injoying the garden. They also have two story bungalows and some rooms near the front entrance. I recommend the single bungalows. NO NEIGHBOURS! The bungalows are basic, they have... more
