Samawa Seaside Resort

Friendly staff, great excursions, nice pool, great location

The staff was great and welcoming. The scenery of the hotel is very nice and beautiful. The hut looked great from the outside. Breakfast was good.

The sheets had stains, the bathroom (shower/sink) was not in a great condition. Towels had stains.

Charming "nature" resort. Cabins are very well spread apart in a well-groomed calm setting. Pool looked clean (but did not use). Friendly staff. Good menu options for lunch and dinner. It only takes 15-20 minutes to get to the airport, so it is a very good option if you just need an overnight stay for your next-day flight.

In the duplex cottage, the walls are thin as a tissue. We could hear every word spoken in the next room - even the snoring! LOL. Thankfully we were all traveling together, not strangers. Breakfast options were minimal, and coffee costs extra.

Quiet, lovely restaurant & staff.

Our room was a long way from the pool & restaurant plus the corridor needed a good clean because it was open to birds nesting there. Next time l won’t book the standard room.

The staff here are so friendly and were quick to try and sort out any issues I had.

Unfortunately, the room I had was unclean (stained sheets, hair on bed, contact lenses and hair on table) and had loads of bugs in it. The manager gave me bug spray and offered to do this for me but it wasn’t great to walk in to. A wedding was being held at the same time as my stay which I wasn’t aware of. It was cool to witness but the evening was very noisy and the amount of rubbish left over was an eyesore. The restaurant served nice food (breakfast could have more options) but at night time would be infested with moths and bugs which ended up drowning in leftover sauce on my plate.

The resort is very peaceful and quiet and away from it all. It is not new for sure, but it really is a nice stay here if you like peace and quiet. The staff is so friendly and does their best to meet your needs and wishes. They even organized diving for me and surprised me with the sweetest birthday desert ever. I am very happy I stayed here and my 3 nights were a very good and relaxing experience. The WiFi is excellent, which was such a delight after all the bad connections in Lombok and Sulawesi before. Thank you so much

Sometimes not easy to communicate in English. But you will always find a way

Nice location

The guy at the reception was weird , keep changing the price for everything we ask , had the feeling he was trying to rip us off

Spacious, quiet, divine large pool, overlooking ocean & islands, huge grassy areas and big beautiful trees. Staff were exceptionally friendly & food fantastic.

Staff were very friendly, welcoming & hospitable. The infinity pool was clean & good size for swimming.Restaurant & poolside service for drinks & food was excellent ?

The room & bathroom floors were not cleaned properly on 1st few days. So we had to complain. Then housekeeping staff cleaned rooms properly thereafter.This was down to poor communication between reception & housekeeping. The room phone didn't work, so we had to keep going to the reception to make requests.But after getting their whatsapp number, room phone was not needed as we could make requests or talk to the reception team via our mobile.

The area is quiet and green. You woke up in the morning and can hear the birds.

The breakfast is really basic, no fruits.

The staff truly made the stay, my girlfriend and I stayed here for a couple days. I usually never write reviews but this was too good to not. Truly all the praise is given to the staff here. They managed to make us feel as if we were home.

The gardens are maintained and the view towards Moyo Island is lovely. They have good Wifi throughout the large complex. The food was simple and good.

It was very disappointing, this place has not been maintained since it was first built. The walkways and roads are not suitable for anybody with luggage on wheels, mobility issues or poor balance. The rooms are scattered far and wide, as a single female I didn't feel safe being so isolated from the main area, especially with the sounds of animals coming through the walls / roof. The beds are hard, the pillows lumpy, the sheets and towels old and stained. The TV did not work, the bathroom was leaky, so it smelt stale, there was a large lizard sitting in the bathroom, most likely eating all the bugs. There was far too many staff, just standing around, and when you asked questions about getting around and activities to do, they were not interested in helping. The edges of the pool unclean and super slimy. You need a car or scooter to get around.

Nice and close to airport, view is beautiful and pool area is very nice, staff very friendly

Room very run down, broken sockets, bathroom stunk of sewerage, stains all over bed, air con hardly worked

By Sumbawa standards this hotel is really worth while. We needed a hotel close to Sumbawa airport after our whale shark excursion and this place ticked all the boxes. The view from the outdoor dining hall is beautiful. The breakfast was okay. Most importantly, the staff were able to organise transfer back to the airport for us on short notice. Overall, we would book here again if we came back.

Ensure you bring mosquito repellent when seated in the main open dining hall! It is located right on the beach after all so you should expect the odd friendly lizard/spider etc.

Felt as authentic indonesia type of stay. Lovely food and amazing staff. The staff made us feel very welcome. There are tours available and I booked a massage there. Nice swimming pool, overlooking moyo island.

Beautiful location, quiet and very pretty. Staff very friendly and helpful. The restaurant right next to the sea only had frozen fish, disappointing. The bungalow were beautiful. The mosquitos were bad and lots of holes in the screens for them to get in. We put mozzarella bets over us which had holes in it. Some up grading needed doing. Still better than staying in the sumbawa besar

It’s located out of town with no services nearby. Very calm and relaxing compared with all the hustle and bustle of Bali. We had a two room cottage with large covered veranda. Room was decent size. Bathroom was good (except for unattached toilet seat). Large pool with ocean view. Restaurant was good with sufficient variety of foods. Good complimentary breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Bathroom plumbing had a bit of a foul odor. Toilet seat was not firmly attached. Could have been cleaner.

Beautiful location and friendly staff

Beds a little hard . Better lighting in rooms would be a help for older people.Cleaner toilets in public areas especially restaurant and pool area.

Wonderful staff, good food, very nice pool with great view. There is a way to go down to the sea, there was nobody and we had the beach for ourselves. We salute the beautiful kindness of the staff. 100% marvelous. The hotel is not far from the airport and the whole place is very quiet. We will be back!

Nothing we can think of.

The property itself is very beautiful with the beach on one side,swimming pool on the other and lots of greenery all around. The rooms are very comfortable as well. Breakfast could have a bit more options and also some sweets. Otherwise they were able to cater to vegetarian diet and made some really tasty MI goreng. The cappuccino was excellent and a must try. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.The resort is also tied up to reliable tour operators which make our tours easier.

There could be a bit more colour in the room decor. It would break the all white look and make the place look better. They could also arrange some activities in the resort like a dance performance or some art activity that could get everyone together.
