Staff very helpful and friendly. It’s very windy and the water is quite choppy. The food was fine but I expected more from the photos on Expedia

Nalini is a beautiful and peaceful place with the most incredible sunrises I have ever seen. The staff is friendly, professional and kind and work hard to make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. The sound of the waves on the rocks is mesmerizing as well. Best place to stay in Bali!

Not for me I'm afraid
This is a very remote property and as such is not for me. I walked 20 minutes in both directions and there really is nothing to see or do.
I found the room very dark and dingy.
The sea was very rough so I didn't go in and as such I was really bored. The staff are lovely and there is an excellent chef but I managed to get a room further up the coast so cut my losses and left a day early.

This is a family-owned place and the pride of ownership shows. It is spotless, as they are constantly cleaning. Nothing is too much to ask and they will organize whatever you want (such as snorkeling trips, cars, etc). They will do laundry for you at $6 per load. Massages were amazing at $12 per hour. Their chef is just spectacular (lots of people from other resorts were coming to eat) and she will give you a private cooking class at $25 per person, which includes your meal. (Be sure to try her "hot ginger fish"---it's unbelievable.) The fish is as fresh as you can get, having just been caught by the retired fisherman owner of the place. The pool is just gorgeous, also spotlessly clean, and there is terrific snorkeling immediately in front of the hotel (although entry via the rocky beach can be a bit challenging). Bottled water provided in your room. Air conditioning, comfortable beds, plenty of fluffy towels---there is nothing you will want for. The entire place is meticulously maintained; we loved the outdoor private shower. You'd have to look hard for anything to fault here; they were better than the Moana Surfrider in Hawaii, which we just left. Quiet and serene, not for families or those looking for a party hot spot.

The location, the excellent service and the serenity of the place surrounded by the fishing fleet. The food was uniformly excellent for every meal .We could snorkel right from the resort and within 200 m reach the Japanese shipwreck. Every staff person was incredibly nice and welcoming I give it my highest recommendations.

The owners as well as the property are gems and we enjoyed our stay here. The seaside restaurant has great food and a huge selection. Owners did a special barbecue night while we were there and their children performed a beautiful dance for us.
I can't say enough about this quiet and serene environment. We enjoyed snorkelling off the beach in front of the resort. The pool was a delight and the intimacy of having only 8 suites made it so we could meet others and visit. There are onsite massages by the pool. The owners can help you arrange any activity you wish. I want to go back as soon as possible:)

petit hôtel familial, les pieds dans l'eau
Confortable, au calme.
On fait vite partie de la famille,
Merci à Ariasa, January, et à toute l'équipe.
Mention spéciale pour les dîners du Chef ( pepes ikan, sate lilit... kue surabi) 😋
Ne manquez pas le retour des jukungs de pêcheurs le matin vers 7 heures.
N'hésitez pas à faire appel à Andy pour vos déplacements, il conduit prudemment sur les routes encombrées de Bali

A beautiful seaside village resort.
A long winding road led to this hidden gem, nestled within a village of fishermen, pigs and roosters. It’s right on the shoreline, so you can rent snorkel gear and swim right out into crystal blue waters to the famous Japanese Shipwreck. And within the resort you’ll find calm and beautiful villas, fluffy green grass, a cute swimming pool and gourmet seaside dining, all at an incredible price.
What we loved most was how Ari, Wayu, Jen, Ani, and Koma all made us feel like family. We arrived quite late but were met with a smile. Perhaps we were smart for going during low season, but every need was taken care of.
Although the room, view, and breakfast were all amazing, we wanted more. So we indulged heavily in additional services like seaside dinner, private yoga class and couples massages and found them amazing and worth every penny.
Even though Chef Agosto was on holiday, his staff’s food was incredible, offering gourmet presentation and quality at every bite! Do try the “best pork ribs in Amed” nestled on mashed sweet potato and spinach.
We booked a sunrise yoga class with Guru Kocek. His vibrant passion for yoga as a way of life is contagious, and I felt healthier and wiser as a result of the session. Great for total beginners to the most advanced as he will challenge you.
Nalini definitely lives up to Ari’s view that “difficult roads lead to beautiful places”. If you can, make the trip to remote northeast Bali and experience this homelike resort.
Hotel vraiment au bord de l’eau avec un jardin luxuriant parfaitement entretenu.
Ari et sa femme sont adorables et sont très attentionnés auprès des clients.
De la plage constituée de gros galets, le matin il faut absolument découvrir le magnifique lever du soleil et le retour de la centaine de bateaux de pêcheurs, c’est magnifique et unique.
La chambre est spacieuse, avec une grande salle de bain digne d’un hotel 5 étoiles. Seul le frigidaire fait un peu de bruit, mais cela permet d’être réveillé pour assister au spectacle de la plage à ne pas manquer absolument.
La restauration sur place est excellente, sur une terrase sur la plage.
Merci encore
