The Acala Shri Sedana

I recently stayed at The Acala Shri in Nusa Lembongan and booked the Pool Villa, and it was an incredible experience. The room was very spacious, and the private outdoor pool area feels like it’s hanging right off the edge of the hill, overlooking the most stunning view. You can see the seaweed farms between Lembongan and Ceningan, with beautiful turquoise water stretching out in front of you – it’s honestly one of those views you don’t get tired of.The bed was extremely comfortable and came with a full mosquito net around it, which made sleeping very cozy and relaxed. Because the property is located on a hill, it’s very close to nature and has a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. The staff were also very kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything I needed.Overall, I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend The Acala Shri to my friends and family, especially to anyone looking for a scenic, relaxing getaway in Lembongan.

What I didn’t like was mainly related to access. Reaching the hotel by taxi is fine, but the road near the property is in very poor condition. To get to the pool villa, you need to climb down several stairs, and when returning to the main reception you have to go back up quite a lot of steps. This might be challenging for guests with mobility issues or those carrying heavy luggage. Because of this, I’d recommend not bringing too many bags.That said, the hotel staff are extremely helpful and always assist with carrying luggage during both check-in and check-out, and the beautiful view from the villa definitely makes up for the effort.

We had the most wonderful 2 days at Acala celebrating our 10-year wedding anniversary. The staff were absolutely fantastic, they surprised us with an upgrade and decorated our bed with beautiful flowers. The pool and restaurant area has such an amazing energy, and the food was delicious, with breakfast being absolutely outstanding. The live music in the evenings was the cherry on top. Our stay was perfect, and we can’t wait to come back!

The hotel is stunning, a whole experience. We enjoyed every second here. The staff was so sweet and the restaurant was delicious! AMAZING breakfast so many options to choose from (no limits). Rooms were impeccable and very luxurious.

Nothing. Even though it is 15 minutes away from the mains streets of the island, it’s an amazing place. Don’t let the location push you back. There are scooter rentals and free shuttles.

the staff were super nice, always pleasant. second time we have stayed there and will be back

Staff, spa, willingness to help. THE VIEW ?

Lots of creatures. We expected some given the location but it felt excessive. As mentioned in reviews, there are lots of steps but this is required for the views! Service in the restaurant could be more attentive.

The staff were amazing and the view from the pool area was so nice

The smell in the bathrooms that ends up being smelt in your room! My clothes that were in my bag ended up smelling like mould/ sewer blend after the 3 nights here and had to be washed although they weren’t worn.

View was nice especially in the mornings Staff were kind, in particular a young man in the restaurant who we loved to talk to each dayRooms and balcony were big Quiet area

Overall we felt it was too high a price for what we receivedInfinity pool did not have "infinity" aspect for 2 of 3 daysPool was filthy, algae built up on the walls which ruined white bikinis.. Breakfast portions were ridiculously small - barely enough for a toddler. Caterpillar found on our food the first day. However you could order multiple breakfasts without issue. Bed was very creaky, woke us up during the night Sheets were dirty, looked like they had been dropped in the street Rooms were quite run down with damp coming through the en suite walls Lots of steps down to the rooms which can be tough in the heat Roads up to the hotel are in bad condition for those using scooters Prices in the restaurant were far too high, 90k for a large Bintang Wifi wasn't good

The staff were amazing!! Roy, Ryan, Ricki were fabulous!! The facilities itself were insane, will definitely come back!

Beautiful scenic view and lovely staff. The room was large and had big shower and outdoor bath.

The roads to get up there are breaking down, the water supply to the room shut off multiple times and the restaurant was okay quality food, but convenient.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bed was comfortable and the view of the pool was great.

We had read some reviews about the outdoor bathroom and so I opted for the room with a regular bathroom. When we arrived at reception we were given an "upgrade" - guess what? - to the room with the outdoor bathroom. The bathroom is UNUSABLE, the aesthetics are nice, but the smell of pee is extremely strong. Worse than any public bathroom I've ever been to. In our case, taking a shower was a sacrifice and to use the toilet, we were going down to the restaurant bathroom every day and every night. Without a doubt, this was the only flaw in the accommodation, apart from that... everything was great.

We stayed in a private pool villa with a stunning view over Cheningan. The facilities are beautiful, wonderful and helpful staff. Great restaurant - everything was very clean and comfortable. Use the 'back gate' for an easy walk to the yellow bridge area. We hired a motorbike and explored Lembonghan and Cheningan - just stunning. Must eat at DMA's Warung and Putu's Warrung - the best food in both places!!! If a motorbike/scooter is not your thing take advantage of the free transfers to major sites. Lembonghan is like Bali was 30 years ago - quieter, cleaner, beautiful people and lovely beaches.

We really liked everything - as others have said it is built on a hill so lots of stairs which would be difficult with mobility issues. It is more isolated although easy walk to Putu and DMAs Warungs for dinner and easy to walk to the yellow bridge and cross to get to some fantastic beach bars.

Everything! The staff in particular is very welcoming and friendly. The swimming pool and the view are breathtaking! The room was very comfortable and spacious. The spa is also a very big plus if you enjoy massages :) You can book easily trips around the islands with the hotel.

The restaurant was a bit overpriced considering the quantity and the quality.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Acala. From the moment we arrived the staff were warm and welcoming. The resort is beautiful and tranquil. A particular highlight was the live music at the restaurant. Special thanks to Nur, Didi, Utah and all the other staff for such great service.

Lovely situation. Nice pool. Good room

Road to the place terrible, bathroom always wet and dripping during and after rain. All our stuff there soaking wet. Terrible muzak during breakfast.

Amazing pool, landscape, room and super friendly staff!

There is room to improve the food and also the music at the restaurant was way too repetitive.

The view was great and the staff were very friendly and welcoming

We had to downgrade to an older style room due to the pool ladder being very dangerous, and falling apart, there was also a rat running around in the new room. It is also a long distance to the main shopping area and restaurants the road out there is not the best. There are many, many steps in the resort, around 120, to get to the villa with the rooftop pool.

The view of the place was really amazing and the design of it since it’s on a hill so it holds a special feeling. Also the staff is really amazing and friendly

The road to the location is a bit hard. The worst part of the stay is the getting out and returning. Since it’s above the hill. Their restaurant needs a better cooking

The hotel has a free shuttle on the island. The breakfast is delicious and you can choose more than 1 item.

You have to take a lot of stairs to get to your room which can be uncomfortable every day and more time a day. It is not like in a hotel at all.. Our bathroom smelled very very badly and we couldn’t do anything about is. Also the bed had a uniqu smell and I couldn’t sleep well because of it :/

Great hotel room was just what we wanted and the view from the pool and pool bed was great! Bed was comfy and the staff couldn’t do anymore for you! Having the shuttle was perfect to get around and explore. Food in the restaurant was lovely. Tip we found outOn the last day was if you go down towards the spa from there you can walk 15 minutes to the yellow bridge

Only downside was the amount of steps you had to go up and down in the heat but it is worth it!!

The view was lovely, the staff were so friendly and accommodating and looked after us so well.

Location was a bit away from the beaches but the accommodation offers a shuttle service and the place is so nice we didn't want to leave some days.
