Apparently, negative comments about need for refurbishment have led to action. The hotel is partially under renovation - step by step, without guests being embarrassed. Particularly the villas are very nice. The restaurant is good, staff extremely friendly, and the garden is well kept. Nice swimming pool. The hotel is located right at the black sand beach. Very quiet, though... more

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights at the Sunari Villas and Resort. We had booked a pool villa, as had been reccomended by a fellow reviewer. The villa was incredible value for money, having a thatched roof, four poster bed, awsome bathroom, and private garden including a couple of sun beds and its own layabout hut. The pool... more

We stayed at Sunari for 4 days - it was wonderful. The pool was immaculate, the sunset views out across Java are sensational - on a clear day you can see the mountain ranges of Java. The breakfast buffet was plenteous and very fresh. It is one of the best breakfasts we've had in Bali! Beautiful orchids and flowers grow... more

Sunari is located in Lovina, about 150 min taxi drive from Denpasar airport. Shuttle bus or private taxi are the easiest ways to get to the hotel. Staff was friendly all the time during our stay. They don't speak so well english here but with time and smile you will get your message trough. Hotel is quite wide spread but... more

After our unpleasant stay at Taman Wana Villas and Spa, we found this place easy-going, friendly and warm. Staff was very souple and the stay was hassle-free. Of course, one comes to Lovina only to see the dolphins at dawn, as the beach is unattractive (and crowded with salesmen/women and the sea is dirty. The pool in the Sunari is... more

We loved our stay in Lovina but wouldn't stay at Sunari again. We were booked in for a week and there was not a day when there wasn't a problem of some kind, be it the hot water system breaking down, the aircon not working, the children cutting their feet on broken tiles on the bottom of the pool or... more

The review of this hotel is best taken in the context of what we paid for is through Asiarooms.com - just £49 a night for a private villa with private pool. A little too good to be true? If you've been backpacking and are looking to spoil yourself then maybe not, but if you have booked this alongsoide other boutique... more

Found this hotel on Asiarooms.com at a great price. Paid $NZ99 for a private plunge pool walled villa. Hotel is set well back from the main road through Lovina. Very welcoming reception staff and porter. Sadly the hotel is still very under-occupied as people who are visiting Bali seldom make the journey to the wonderful, peaceful, amazing far north of... more
