Zen was a great place to stay before we caught a ferry. Layla and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable, with a wonderful little courtyard. The bathroom was well designed and great shower. We loved our stay and would highly recommend.

Location just next to Padangbai beach and harbour for speedboats to Gili islands. My room was big, with comfortable beds and big terrace. Stuff was very friendly and helpful.
There are 2 beaches - The Blue lagoon and White sand beach - both approx 29 minutes walking from the hotel. I preferred the White sand beach with many warungs and easy access to the sea.
Situated 600 metres from Padang Bai Harbor, Kerti Beach Bungalow and Restaurant features an outdoor pool and a restaurant. Free parking is provided for guests who drive.
Located in East Bali, Bloo Lagoon Village provides a tranquil eco-friendly destination with sweeping sea, coastline and volcano views.

Fantastic location with snorkelling straight off the Bloo Lagoon beach - like swimming in an aquarium. This is our 3rd visit and it was great to see the resort assisting the locals to keep the beack clean.
The facilities at the resort are first class and the staff could not do enough for us. We will be back again.
The shuttle service to town and White Sands beach is a godsend.
Congratulations to the whole team at Bloo Lagoon Resort

Fantastic villa / kind of private hotel with 3 women from the village taking care of house, doing the dishes, pool and garden. Making daily breakfast or (as we skipped breakfast) made lunch. We stayed with 2 people, so got one bedroom. Bloo Lagun beach for snorkling, with a small but fine warung, is on the other side of Padangbai (don't take a boat from the harbour, just walk or drive yourself). Our contact with the host, Emelia was very good, she helped and adviced us with driver/ taxi and the planning of some activities. Also helpfull when we needed a doctor. First we stayed a week. A week later, when our travel plans changed, we just decided to return for some more days. This villa is a good place to find some days rest during / after travelling in busy Bali or Indonesia.

We had never heard of PadangBai and only visited to catch the ferry to Nusa Lebongan. Pleasantly surprised to find this small town offering good restaurants, live music (Omani Omang), good diving (Absolute Dive), and pretty scenery.
The negative is the amount of plastic garbage in the sea and on the beaches. I don’t know if this is common to the region, but I strongly recommend the communities make a concerted effort to clean this up. The plastic garbage was appalling and detracted from the ambience.

The pier wasn't as bad as expected although the condition could be improved considering it's very busy and frequented by many tourists every day! Be careful if porter scam as someone will approach you asking to help and will charge you in the end for the service. If you need an assistance, do agree in advance on the fee.
Do note that a harbor tax is compulsory at IDR10,000 per person.

We stayed at Padangbai to catch the fast boat to Gili .
We stayed at Padangbai to catch the fast boat to Gili . We got up early as the drive in showed us a very pretty part of Bali we have never seen.
This is a very cute little fishing village and gateway to Lombok and all it's Islands. The locals are very friendly and honest. My husband left his mobile phone in the taxi and the hotel called the taxi driver who had it back in 5 minutes (he was thrilled at the 100,000 Rp roughly $10 AUD tip)
There was a good selection of restaurants on the waterfront offering lovely fresh Indonesian and Western food we loved the Ikan Bakkat (fish in banana leaves) spicy and delicious. The Cocktails did not disappoint either and my husband welcomed a few cleansing Bintang Beers.

There are afew nice places to eat along the front we stayed 1 afternoon and night before travelling to the gills and that’s enough nothing to see here really. Good food tho in both restaurants on the front we picked and there was also plenty of people selling snacks etc at the harbour. It is like most places in Bali, chaotic with traffic and the people especially the harbour.

There is a small port town which is ok. A few beaches nearby
There is a small port town which is ok. A few beaches nearby
are a bit surprising given that its a busy port.
I would never return to this port, as Sanur is more sane. You will
be in line and feel like a hearded animal before you even get onto
the boat, try to avoid this experience.
FastboatGili changed our reservation, said it was overbooked
even though had a deposit in advance. Morning of boat departure
the boat company tried to rip us off...just be clear on what you paid
and your balance, dont be intimidated. The boats from here are generally
overpriced but not much you can do about it.

The host was very helpful and accommodating.
The host was very helpful and accommodating. The hotel is still under renovations and not completed yet so very much had a sense of unfinished hotel. The shower flooded and host arranged to have it repaired immediately which was appreciated. Breakfast was basic and the pool was small. There was a small water dispenser in the room that made a gouging noise and kept us awake. Meals were not available and we had to walk into main shopping area for meals and supplies. Overall ok for a one night stopover.
We had an amazing time at Bay view house. Liu and Wayan treated us like family and provided exceptional service to us. The rooms were great, the breakfast was delicious and the location was close to the beach and in the center of the city.
I highly recommend booking a snorkelling tour with Wayan (cheaper prices than other ones in town, excellent experience) and also booking his service to take you through East Bali. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and a great great guide!
The owners are a very friendly local family and are original Padang Bai residents. They were extremely helpful and took great care of us, especially when my mum was sick for several days during our stay. Staying at Celagi, while on the budget side, gave us a wonderful insight into local life and culture. The breakfast was excellent and the view from the rooftop terrace over the harbour was always something to look forward to in the mornings.
Such a lovely place! We were welcomed by the family, the made us tea & food as we arrived very late. we booked their transport from the airport and it was the cheapest we could find. The homestay was in a different location than we thought but they took us to the ferry port for free so that was no problem. The bed was comfy, it was extremely clean everywhere and the shower was hot. Breakfast was also nice :) We would definitely come back!!
What an absolute dream villa. You have to see it to believe it. It's a work of art and also offers the most incredible views of Padangbai. The sunrise from my bedroom blew me away. Marcel and Made are so lovely and helped me change my ferry to a more direct route. Also offered to look after my things while I travel to the islands. I'm very happy I'll be spending my last night in Bali here. Special shout out to the adorable tortoises.
We like everything. Specially the nice evenings we spend with Marco the owner and the philosophical conversation we had with him.He is also a very good cook.The view from our room on the first floor was beautiful.Most people don't spend much time in Padangbai but its absolutely worthwhile spending a couple of days there if you want to experience the village atmosphere in Bali.
Excellent well trained staff, good food, very clean and comfortable accommodation and a great location. They organised transport for 6 of us to see Ubud and Sideman - a great day trip. The hotel is in a picturesque spot in Padang Bai, very near to the harbour for the Fastboat to the Gilli's. Would definitely recommend!
The family that owns this hotel are the sweetest people, so kind and helpful. The breakfast is very good and a nice full meal. Served on the roof top with a fine view and a sweet soft breeze which is a nice respite from the heat.
It is very conveniently located near shops and restaurants and the boardwalk and pier.
Bali 85 Beach Inn was in a lovely secluded location (under 10min drive to Padang Bai port) and the staff were welcoming, polite and friendly. The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. It was a great place to spend the night before taking the fast boat to Gili Air from Padang Bai port.
Very nice hotel, the room with the sea view is super nice, with a private table on the terrace with the view, they bring breakfast there (also very nice!)
The host is super friendly and helps with organizing cheaper tours and transportation
The staff were great, very helpful and accommodating. The hotel had organised our taxi pickup from Denpasar airport which was great, they also were more than happy to organise a taxi for our return trip to Seminyak.
Breakfast was yum.
Great little 3 star hotel if you’re forced to stay in Padangbai when weather conditions preclude Lombok ferry from running. Unfortunately aircon blew during night. Just one of those unfortunate things. Staff lovely. Pool great
This is a cheap hotel suited for a one-night stay before your boat trip from Padangbai. You will get a decent breakfast at the price too. It's a good value for the money. There is a nice patio/garden too.
The place is really beautiful and the views are spectacular! Typical balines bungalow with a nice balcony to see sunrise over the ocean.
Marcel and Made are very attentive.
Nice pool and garden.
The location in Padang Bai is great, very central and straight across the road from the dive boats. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The dive centre, Staff & dive guides were all great.
it is a very spécial village! 3 Times in Bali, I always stay at least 3 days in this hotel. it is a wonderful and magical place with great food, great spa and great people !!!
