Absolute Scuba Bali Dive Resort

A lovely stay. Thankyou

Great place to stay pre or post ferry. Comfortable rooms, great service. I highly recommend!

Excellent service from the gang at Absolute Scuba Bali Dive Resort. Nice comfortable rooms, good food, and a terrific location in Padang Bai. Looking forward to coming back soon.

The staff was nice. The breakfast was nice the bathroom and room were very basic for the price.

Awesome!

Gorgeous location and view, very friendly helpful staff.

the place is older and has been maintained well for its age, the position and staff were great the breakfast was great, and id definatelty stay there again, beefore i looked elsewhere

Very nice hotel!!! You will love it!!! Oh and you can see monkeys running around in the morning and evening here lol. Nice people and very clean!!

We loved staying in Absolute Scuba Bali Diving Excellent location, good breakfast

Hotel was wonderful and the management and staff are very kind and loving. I was feeling myself as If I’m home. I was amazed at the wonderful treatment of animals at the hotel and how well stray animals are treated, and the staff are really animal lovers. The view was also so beautiful because of the ocean view and the sound of waves was so peaceful.

Room was 4 stars, but service was 10! Michael and the rest of the scuba team really made our stay unforgettable.

Great staff and diving facilities, I had a great time, wish I had stayed longer

Room was actually ok. Felt like they were trying. However, son’s sheets were dirty. The bathroom really needs help! The toilet seat was too small for the toilet. The faucet was corroding, the counter around the sink was falling apart. There was no hot water. The breakfast was very nice.

Good dive resort immediately at the waterfront. The wet room was well equipped and the staff was nice. Would recommend the resort.

A nice location on the beach in town - wifi wasn't always great. Pool was nice but not many chairs to use.

Very eco-friendly. Zero plastic waste from rooms! Beautiful location great pool and dive tank, good food, helpful and friendly staff and great view! Air-conditioning works great too. Room also has fridge and hairdryer (and tv if for some reason you need it!)

Eco-friendly with refillable 19 L water jugs in rooms instead of disposed plastics, do not use throw away shampoo or body wash plastics and laundry of room stuff every 2nd day which is all you actually need! Beautiful pool and dive tank for the scuba diver, great location across from beach. Great staff. Cozy clean room with balcony and good sea view. Next time I'll learn to dive!

The staff is very helpful and warm. Food is great!

The hotel itself was great. Olivier, the manager, is a good guy. The problem was the town in which the hotel is located (Padangbai), which is controlled by the mafia. They monopolize taxis, shuttle busses, fast boats, and ferries out of Padangbai. They harass and intimidate all online taxis (eg. Grab) and metered taxis (eg. Blue Bird). Most refuse to even enter the town. When I was leaving Padangbai, I arranged a Grab, and the driver told me to walk 10 mins out of town to meet him. The mafia followed me on motorbikes the entire way, and when I reached the Grab driver, the mafia threatened him with physical violence and damage to his car until he drove away. Then the mafia guy got one of his buddies to bring his car around and said he would drive me for 400,000 rupiah. I refused and kept walking. He said 350,000 and I refused again. He said 300,000 (the same price as the Grab) and I accepted. I didnt have much of a choice; they scared off my Grab and were still stalking me so I couldn't call another. They said they would do the same with a Blue Bird taxi. So I got in, arrived at my destination, then the driver demanded 400,000. That's not what I had agreed to. We went into the hotel and the staff translated. Apparantly, the mafia guy had told his buddy 400,000 and told me 300,000 - and the buddy had already paid the mafia guy 200,000 as a "finders fee." The mafia guy lying to us was bad, but extorting the driver for 200,000 for stalking us and scaring off our Grab was worse.

Restaurant food was really good and breakfast was included in my package. It is right on the beach, it has a nice cool which they used to teach diving. It's a little rundown, and right on crazy busy road.
