Views852Strength
A 5 minute easy walk from the speed boat drop off gets you there, so it’s close but elevated enough to embrace the most spectacular views.

The views of Mount Agung and the mainland from the pool are breathtaking.

Whenever they spent their time at the hotel premises the staff did not have time to take care of the other guests and the noise and lack of respect was close to unbearable.

Loved the pools on three different levels - there is one that overlooks the ocean!

The pool areas do feel like they have been forgotten about for the last couple of years, and do no reflect the standard I think the Tamarind wishes.

The room was clean but my only minor criticism is I thought the rooms needed a deep clean but this didn’t affect our stay.

From the three incredible pools (and the stunning view from the top one), fantastic restaurant, beautiful, quiet rooms and its location at the perfect jumping-off point for everything Lembongan has to offer, the Tamarind ticks all the boxes for an incredible holiday.

Rooms can be a bit noisy as located next to the road, rooms below guests were a bit noisy into the night.

The hotel price is too high, but the rooms and services do not meet the standards for that price at all.

To be honest, this is not a 5 star hotel, the fixtures are outdated and there needs to be more maintenance.

We like to walk but it’s very warm and the street are bustling and narrow so if you’re going any distance it’s worthwhile taking advantage of the readily available transportation.

Problems in the bathroom5 of 1921 in 38 reviews
Room was clean etc but I have a negative note about the downstairs bathroom that had a terrible odour ..don’t know if for humidity or something else but it was bad and my daughter had to sleep with us upstairs.

Unexpected charges and refunds4 of 1921 in 48 reviews
The only downside is the prices of the bar (except happy hours) and the scooter rental that is more than double what you can find on the island.
Booking network, September 2026, rated 10/10 by this guest
Far too high prices for hotel booked excursions and taxis, beyond what I would expect for a 5* hotel and as a result we did not book with them.
