Rantun's Place

The staff is super friendly and helps you the best they can with any question. Room is cleaned everyday and towels are exchanged, which we enjoyed very much. The room itself is spacious and very clean, the bathroom is big and functional. There's also small corner with couch and table in front of the room, where you can sit and have a snack. The wifi works very well, which does not happen often in Bali. And the pool is quite nice to take a refreshments from the heat. Not a pool where you can lay down for a long time though. The food of the hotel's restaurant is also very good as we found. Very low prices with 20-40k though the portions are not very big, so better take 2 or more meals to get stuffed :). All in all, the place offers a really good value for money. If you have something to do in that area, e. g. work or meetings, it is definitely the best option for you.

Major inconvenience is really just the location. there is literally nothing around besides the beach. To reach the next supermarket/restaurant, it takes a 40 minutes walk (one way). Grab is especially expensive in that region with 50-60k for just 10 minutes ride. If you want to see the busy side of Bali with markets, shops, restaurants etc, you better go to Kuta or Seminyak. Another small problem was the bad smell of some insecticide that they sprayed in the room before. It smelled so strong and aggressive that I got a bad headache and had trouble falling asleep. It only got better after ventilating the next day for a long time.
