The Tamarind Resort - Nusa Lembongan

We received an unexpected room upgrade which was an incredible and lovely surprise. It really enhanced our experience at the Tamarind Resort however we would’ve loved our stay even if this did not happen. The staff are the ones who truly made our stay so wonderful and welcoming. They are so kind and helpful. They really get to know you. Shout out to Dewi who took such amazing care of us! Location is excellent! It is a short walk from the harbor if you’re traveling light and there are taxis available if you have heavy luggage. We enjoyed easily walking to the beach and exploring the main street of this area of Lembongan. To get to excursions and back to the harbor, the hotel arranged the taxis for us which was very convenient. The property itself is so beautiful! I loved the lush plants, the infinity pools, and the general aesthetic. We enjoyed seeing frogs and lizards existing harmoniously on the grounds. We are already planning our return to the Tamarind.

Great little boutique resort. Staff goes above and beyond to help with every need you have. The food at the resort was very delicious.

Personalized experience, they were willing to acomadate in any way

Service for food a bit slow, but good food

One of the best hotel breakfasts I've had for a long time. Excellent a la carte with several options for non meat eaters. Spacious room , bathroom and balcony. A bit of a sea view which was nice. Nicely decorated. Plenty of fresh drinking water which i really appreciated.Staff all very friendly and gracious and keen to look after us.

The mini bar bill was a shock. I travel a lot and by anyone's standards, AUD27 for a small can of coke and a very ordinary bar of chocolate is outrageous. Shame because it's the last thing that happens so we left with a sour taste. The only reason we didn't go to a shop for these was illness. Second, small thing but our room was near the restaurant and it was a bit annoying being woken up at 7am each morning by the music. If we went again I'd ask for a room further away.

Everything! The location was a small walk to the beach/shops but far away enough to enjoy the tranquility of the environment. The staff were fabulous and attentive, knowing all our names. Very clean. The meals were great, and generous. We would definitely stay here again!

Very good 5 star accomodation. Staff friendly, breakfast is great. Location is very central. We had BBQ dinner & this was included in our stay as we stayed 3 nights. Rooms very comfortable

Drinks are pricey. Rooms can be a bit noisy as located next to the road, rooms below guests were a bit noisy into the night. Shower is not very hot, like warm at best.

The location was great and so was the food and the staff. The pools were great too, but we mostly used the rooftop pool. The staff remember your name and were eager to offer advice and assistance. The breakfast was good, no buffet so you could order what you really wanted from their breakfast selection. Pastries were always freshly made daily too. It’s only a short walk to the beach and some nice tourist shops. I love how easy it was to hire a scooter and driver around the island and over the yellow bridge to other locations. Our fav destination this trip. We will be back! The also fog for mosquitoes every week which helps. The views are amazing too.

Not so much that we didn’t like, but the deluxe room didn’t have as good a view as the superior even though it was more expensive. They were identical inside the room. If you don’t like stairs, this isn’t for you…. But a bit of extra exercise was fine for us.

The staff were very accommodating and kind. Pools and view are lovely. Hotel didn't feel like it was out to squeeze you for every cent like some hotels. Staff were happy to help organise scooter etc. Bed was comfy, and small things like biscuits for turndown was a nice touch. I could also see hotel had taken into account some things mentioned in previous reviews (like putting lots of water in rooms and room towels looking decent).

Some of the facilities (more the building) are showing a wear and tear. It's still a lovely hotel but not as new looking as pics, kitchen quite dark and dates, and the mosquito screen in the lounge was quite dirty. Also sometimes there would be a drain smell in one or two walkways. I think maybe the island in general took a bit of a knock in COVID which is understandable

3 diff pools some with shade

Theres alot of stairs

The staff are lovely and the size of the resort makes everything feel very personal. The air conditioning worked really well (& was quiet)! The food was excellent & good value.

There is a bit of wear & tear - the bathrooms in particular are quite tired & have a funny smell.

The staff were all super friendly and polite especially Harry at the pool bar. All very willing to help with anything. The Service was super quick. Our room was kept clean and the breakfast at the property was good.

The property was not 5*, it didn’t live up to the expectations of the images online or the price of our stay compared to other places on the island or rest of Bali. The beautiful pool photo was overlooking a road with constant trafffic. The hotel was tired, tiles coming away in the pool, green stagnant water by breakfast area. Too much chlorine in the swimming pool.

Great hotel lots of traditional character. Pools were great and nice breakfast. Plenty space in the rooms

This is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. The staff are superb. So kind and helpful. The rooms are so nice, clean, spacious, I had a great view, minibar. Everything was thought out. There were even wires to charge your devices if you forgot your travel adapter. Breakfast amazing. 3 pools. Go to the rooftop pool view is insane. I only checked out because they were fully booked. Great place to relax and comfy bed.

The pool had a great view.

Booked a sea view room but it wasn’t.

Each member of staff we met were so friendly and kind. Everything was great; the service, the food, the location and the views!

The Tamarind Resort was extremely welcoming, all staff making an effort to learn your name and to greet you warmly.The resort was clean and comfortable with great pools.The location was a short walk to town. I really liked the location.

I actually can't think of anything.

The tamarind was beyond exceptional. We traveled here with our 4 children and it was beautiful. The staff remembered all six of our names and were so lovely. The food and drinks were also exceptional. Stunning location with a few minute walk to the beach. Nothing was a problem for the staff to organise - we will hopefully be back!

The staff were incredible and location were great. Food was really good and the restaurant is great.

The hotel is beautiful but you can see wear and tear appearing. The pool had way too much chlorine in it.. I mentioned it and they appreciated the feedback

Great view.Very comfortable beds, amazing! Close to temple, so I could hear chanting. Loved it.Very good food in restaurant. Prices are high, but chef there is exceptional. Place really stands out among all properties on Lembongan.Clean and beautiful pools.Kind and attentive staff.

Place is being slowly worn out. If you pay attention, can see breaking tiles in the pool, moldy walls of the balcony. Bathroom is quite old. Suggest renovation works. Our last day was spolied by hotel requesting to pay 55k for pillow case. My wife has dyed hair, so at times stains remain on the pillow cases. They are easy to wash off in the laundry and it was never a problem in any hotel. At home our pillow cases are also white and there are never any stain on those, that can't be washed in household washing machine. For a room prices that high, hotel being a 5-star resort, us dining there frequently and leaving millions in the restaurant, charging 55k for a pillow case and spoiling my wife's mood feels like a bad joke. This is a level of 2-star resort, not a serious establishment I was expecting to stay at.I suggest to management to review their policy, laundry quality, personnel attitude and, perhaps, include 55k into room price,so as not to bother guests with puny cases.

This hotel is one of a kind. The employees are all so warm and caring. If you have a child (we travelled with a 16 month old) they will make that child feel so special and loved. We felt so sad to leave Tamarind

Nothing - it was incredible
