Lovina Beach Hotel

I stayed at this one on my first trip to Bali about 20 years ago. It brought back so many good memories that I know I’ll be back again. The staff was simply outstanding, and I couldn’t have asked for more.

We stayed one week here. Loved Lovina. The ever happy smiling staff were always friendly and helpful and took time to learn about us, nothing was too much trouble. I mistakenly booked a room with no fridge. I need one to store my medication. The management allowed me access to their private fridge and put a fridge in my room once one came available. To me this was above and beyond good service. The pool is a comfortable temperature. The food from the kitchen is very good. We ordered a lot from the hotel and was never disappointed. Also the food and beverages are very reasonably priced. The hotel is beach front with beautiful views and close vicinity to the main part of town. I will be returning and am a bit concerned that my glowing review will make it too crowded!

We stayed in a limited sea-view room on the second floor. In hindsight, I would choose a bungalow. We really liked this hotel for its reasonably priced restaurant and outstanding location right on the beach. It was excellent value. The room was recently refurbished and painted but strangely lacked a TV. Who doesn't at least have a tablet these days? Internet was as good as any hotel I've been to. The room was just the right size too. Other than a brief moment, shower water pressure was good enough and there was hot water throughout our stay. Hopefully, they've addressed the issues mentioned by others and it was definitely not an issue for us. The dolphin tour is good value and definitely should be done which they can arrange, though, the other local tours seemed overpriced. The hotel allows you to charge expenses to your room which I always refuse for budgeting and fraud reasons. The spectacular feast charged to my room, resplendent with copious, ahem, "vodka shooters" worth almost two nights stay, proved the effectiveness of this policy. The hotel relented within a reasonable amount of time and I am sorry that they are out the bill. I hope they require showing a room key to solve this problem in future. Uncomfortable check out aside, I would stay again. The area was less crowded with tourists than other parts of Bali but still touristy. A good area for a quieter beach holiday.
