The Samata by LifestyleRetreats

Perfect for the start of a solo adventure from the UK. The room was enormous for me and the spa room adjoining was a wonderful surprise with a bath too. The treatments included with my booking were fantastic! Highly recommend the massage, facial and body scrub. The gym was excellent! I loved the variety of kit and open anytime. The beach is 10 mins walk too for sunrise.Food was great. I'm vegan and they would amend meals for me as was limited choice otherwise. Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast too and the juices. Hopefully will be back again as was so beautiful here and wonderful people.

We enjoyed the quiet surroundings, we had 3 big pools and there was never anyone else swimming, the gym is out of this world, the Butler service is perfect, the staff is the best we have ever come across, we could order breakfast the evening before, so there was never any wait, the surroundings with the rice fields are beautiful. As we had free massages included the Spa Lady was tops, very friendly like all of them. We ate at the Restaurant every night and tye food was always good and we never had any problems.This resort will be our go to place for our future Bali visits.

To be honest I do not know.

Privacy, space, rural view, huge private pool. Amazing helpful staff. Well designed villa, extreme clean . Quiet location. Lovely watching bats of all species and crazy soap opera of sparrows each day. We even saw a Balinese porcupine make its way across the front of our villa. Working rice paddies were spectacular. Good breakfast, every wish granted.

Location a little isolated, but could still book grab cars to where we needed to go. Some room furniture a little aged but given Bali climate that’s understandable! Menu a little limited, again understandable given the resort was very quiet.

The Villa was outstanding in terms of space, facilities & comfort. The staff were courteous and couldn't do enough for you

Good breakfast clean comfortable room

The gym is best. Very large and fully equipped.Pools are nice and long. The rooms have good views.The included massages are divine. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

Breakfasts are just average. They need a better cook, I think.

The samata was very clean and the staff really friendly and helpful. It was so peaceful and just what we needed for a few days to recover from long haul flight and jet lag. It was raining a lot but we still swam in the pool and relaxed. The massage was excellent. Thank you

On our arrival we were greeted by our host and provided with information on the villa and all surrounding tourist areas we could explore.The staff looked after us so well nothing was too much trouble for them so many beautiful smiles from them everyday.We all loved the beautiful layout of our villa so spacious more than we could have wished for.The pool was fantastic so large and clean and the various sitting and sun bed areas around the pool just awesome.The restaurant on-site served great breakfast, lunches and dinners.A huge thankyou to the staff!The ambience is incredible two huge pools, gorgeous well maintained gardens.Last but not least the gym was the best we have ever encountered on our 14 trips to Bali.So many machines and space for a great workout then to top it off a pool for a dip if required!We will definitely will be back thank you so much Samata?

Just one thing was it was a bit removed from a lot of restaurants and shopsso you did require transport.Although if you wanted to visit safari Park, tubing and other activity's it was much closer than being in the heart of Sunur.

This place was amazing! Had everything you need breakfast was great and also the dinner menu. Swimming pools and gym were perfect to use during holiday. The service and people had always a smile.

The only downside was that the 2 bedroom villa were apart. You had to walk outside to get to the room. So traveling with young children can be an issue but we managed.

It's a beauty. Fantastic view with the pools and huge space in the rooms. Service smooth and delicious meal options, good vine selection. Very clean and not over crowded. Also the billiard room and the huge fitness room are just perfectly arranged

Well, the street behind, the noise sure is the other side of the beauty of this place.Get enough wine and you sleep anyway..

A very relaxing resort with very attentive and friendly staff. The quality of the daily massage included in our booking was excellent. The resort had a very well equipped gym. The restaurant food was of a high quality and well presented.

Whilst the resort is in Sanur it does take approximately 20 minutes to reach the bustling seafront tourist area by taxi because of heavy traffic. This didn’t pose any problems for us as we had plenty of time and were happy to relax at the resort for most of it.

Beautiful views, clean and very private. Superb butler service.

It is quite noisy because of traffic close by and airplanes departing into the night time.

This place is a gem and the staff were amazing. I stayed for a few days at the beginning of June and enjoyed every minute of it from the larger than average rooms, the pool, the quietness and the gym.

Nothing, it was a wonderful place to stay.

The villas are nice and large. It's not crowded at all. The hotel restaurant serves nice food, which is beautifully presented, but the portion sizes are quite small, and it's more expensive than other hotels we've stayed at. Drinks are also expensive.Staff is very friendly.

The location is bad. You can walk to the beach, but you have to walk along a large road with no sidewalk and a lot of traffic. It's not nice for adults, and it's not nice at all for kids. There is a small supermarket nearby, but then you have to cross the road. There are no obvious choices for nearby restaurants. Except for arranged tours, you are pretty stuck at the hotel. The maintenance and finish of the hotel are also not as nice as you expect from the pictures. It's clean but feels a little worn. In the villa we had (Villa 5), there was a lot of traffic noise, and the resting area was really windy throughout our stay. The pool was quite small. The two rooms are in separate buildings with a couple of bridges in between, which would have been an issue if our kids were smaller, but it works well for large kids or for two couples. I think the other villas are better in those regards.

Nice public pools and friendly staff who helped with what needed. Quiet area, but also much traffic to go to Sanur during summer.

Not possible to read when booking that the 2 bedrooms in the vila is not in the same villa but two separate rooms so need to go outside to get to them, therefore perhaps Not the best option when travelling with kids. Rooms Could be cleaner and do with a touch up. Garbage smell from rubbish dump nearby, if wind is in the wrong direction not possible to be outside. ( not the fault of the hotel, but perhaps nice to know)

Rooms were large, clean, comfortable, had big olds doors leading to a well sett up large balcony with distant ocean views. The mosquito curtains had no holes. They refilled water bottles. Two pools with lounge chairs and cabanas, one 25 m pool. Well equipped gym although we never used it. Food was fresh and nice. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Transport was required to go anywhere.

Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this boutique hotel. Super friendly staff, delicious food, idyllic setting, lovely room with great views, great swimming pools for relaxing and all set away from the busy touristy areas.

Everything was perfect!

Spacious

1) Staff will kick you out even tho they extended (a day before) your check out time2) Full of mosquitos and lizards3) Villa swimming pool is dirty4) The staff is not helpful at all

The staff was very helpful. The team helped me to make the necessary calls. They went to the pharmacy in the middle of the night to buy painkillers. Thank you!!!

It’s super clean and well maintained, stayed in 2 bedroom villa and didn’t feel the need to leave the villa. Room service was great and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay joyful

Not much to say really
