Sea La Vie Resort Nusa Penida

I’ve been li ing in Bali for nearly 3 years and stayed in many different resorts but this one is by far hands down the best with young professional kind staff too to bottom! I will always stay here when I come to. USA Pineda and highly recommend them to everyone I know.

Støy fra bønnerop flere ganger daglig. Ok mat. Ellers supert!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cet hôtel vraiment superbe, avec une vue à couper le souffle sur la mer et le Mont Agung en toile de fond. La piscine est très agréable et bien intégrée à l’environnement naturel. La restauration est excellente et le personnel adorable, toujours aux petits soins : ils nous ont aidés pour la lessive, la location de voiture, l’achat des billets de bateau retour… Un vrai service complet et attentionné, qui fait toute la différence. Seul petit bémol : l’accès à l’hôtel est un peu difficile, mais cela reste typique des routes de l’île et n’enlève rien à la qualité du lieu une fois arrivé. En résumé : un havre de paix, parfait pour profiter pleinement de Nusa Penida dans un cadre magnifique et serein. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

This property had a beautiful location right on the waterfront and comfortable rooms. The staff was incredibly polite, professional and welcoming. The only thing I’d note was that there were many steps between the lobby, rooms and pools that might be unsuitable for some guests. It’s easy to get a taxi but the area around the resort isn’t really walkable, if that’s what you’re looking for.

Overall the hotel is nice. Fantastic location, fantastic view and the rooms were super nice too. Everyone on staff were good and nice people. But they lack direction and training in being service oriented. We had to flag them down everytime we needed something in the pool or restaurant. Service needs to improve by simply coming by the table and ask if everything is OK or if someone needs another drink or food item. They would sell much more and service and would be much better. Also, I give a low rating because of the mosque that has a VERY LOUD speaker system and starts prayers broadcastet directly towards the hotel at 4:30am. Not sure why the mosque is allowed to do this. I accept and respect different cultures and religions, but this was simply harassment behaviour…

Très bon séjour dans cet hôtel bungalow(s) à flanc de colline donnant sur la mer et ToyapaKey, très bon service, personnel souriant et très à l'écoute, très bon restaurant et PDJ. Très belles chambres avec balcon. Seul inconvénient dont l'hôtel n'est pas responsable : les appels à prières haut-parleur de la mosquée proche

We stayed in a Sea Front Pool Villa at Sea la Vie, and were quite disappointed, especially considering the high price. The sea view was nice, and we could see the volcano when visibility was clear. However, there were quite a few disappointing points, The access road is in terrible condition—almost undrivable—and you’ll have to pay at least 100k IDR for a 15-min ride to get in or out. DO NOT follow the walking route given by google maps if you’re carrying heavy luggage ! At night, walking is unsafe due to the isolated forest path. The villa doesn’t match the photos: cheap materials, minimal furniture, and fake grass. It feels poorly built for the price. The restaurant is overpriced (80k–120k IDR) and the food is low quality, including breakfast. A few important things to know: • Many stairs, not suitable for everyone • No direct sea access – you can’t swim from the hotel Overall, the price-to-quality ratio is absurdly bad. Would not recommend.

Incrivel. Super recomendo

Hôtel magnifique et employés aux petits soins par contre la route pour s y rendre est un véritable périple et pour se rendre à la piscine ou au restaurant vous devez descendre et remonter une soixantaine de marches, voire plus. Je déconseille aux personnes âgées. A part cette information cet hôtel a une vue splendide et est très propre.

I liked the sea view, pool, restaurant ( nice food) The property claims beach front, but it is not safe swimming. The spa area is not inspiring, but the massage and facial were very good

You cannot beat the view of Sea la Vie in Nusa Penida! A beautiful infinity pool where you can see the harbor and sunset. Small swim up bar for convenience and a very kind staff! Our room was clean and so nice with a great little balcony. Be prepared for LOTS OF STAIRS. Air conditioning was legit.

Absolutely stunning views

It has a great view of the ocean and the place is well maintained for a secluded location at the the top of the hills. Would definitely need a taxi or a ride to get there as the road were quite rough.

Great ocean view

Pool location was great, temperature controlled water in the pool is the best. Good breakfast. Road works around the property making it far to reach from the port and local market.

Sea La Vie (Nusa Penida), is a beautiful well maintained hotel with modern clean rooms. Staff are very attentive and happy to go above and beyond. Considerng the hotel is far from any restaurants, their food menu is very limited and very little flexibilty to make changes to suit particular dietary needs. The hotel would not suit the elderly or young children, as it is set on a hillside overlooking the harbour / sea and has large steps to negotiate for moving around the hotel. The main strip is a stone throw away, however there is no walking access and the taxi ride takes 15 minutes and costs 150k idr each way. The access road is single lane and not maintained or any regards given to it by the topend hotels that use it, therefore taxis are very reluctant to take the fare or charge a premium. Overall a reasonable hotel, but personal opinion is it would be better to stay at an accommodation close to the eastern side of the harbour, for ease of access to shops, restaurants and taxis.

Wonderful views from the front row villas, room service, good wifi, attentive staff and snorkeling tours right from their private “dock” were all highlights. Yes, access to the property was an adventure (we only left the property via boat while we were there for 4 nights) and certain details were a little rough around the edges but par for the course for not being a large western branded property. Call to prayer from the nearby mosque 5 times a day is very apparent especially at 4am (yes not kidding, and it lasts upwards of 30mins each time), the resort provided ear plugs but we were still a little jet lagged and up at that time anyways so went with the flow… overall we went in knowing what to expect based on other reviews and had an enjoyable stay! A unique experience for sure!

Lovely hotel but not for the immobile as on a cliff side so very steep stairs to reception area

Our hotel room was superb, location from hotel has beautiful views of the beach. The pool and pool bar is great to buy drinks. Nice beach club vibe, very chill music and a place to relax and recuperate. We did not really like the menu, found it limiting. You need some type of transport to get around anywhere, such as shops. Short access to nearby restaurants/shops is off track and involves some climbing. Fair amount of fitness required.

It’s probably the best place to stay at Nusa Penida. The staff was amazing and everything was so clean. They have an amazing crusty chicken sandwich. If you stay here you should try it. When you book your room and they are doing construction they will give you a free up grade i was very happy with our stay here. Will definitely stay here again.

Honestly we liked a lot about our stay here. The pool was great, the drinks from the bar were solid and the staff was very friendly. The road on the way there was bumpy, but honestly don’t let that deter you! Now for the not so fun bits….first off, the walls are VERY thin. You can unfortunately hear everything that you neighbors are doing…also there is a mosque with a loudspeaker that will wake you up at 4:30 every single morning. The hotel does provide earplugs, but even those can’t block it out.

The hotel was very luxurious and had the most incredible view over the harbour and Mount Agung in the distance. Sitting by the infinity pool was absolutely stunning. This was by far the nicest hotel we saw in the area. Staff were very welcoming and friendly, and catered to all our needs. The hotel is very much off the beaten track but not really any worse than other roads on Nusa Penida. The hotel was very much worth the drive over and drivers were happy to pick us up/take us there. There was also a short cut down a steep hill to walk into the main area which takes about 20 minutes.

Pros: Modern amenities, clean, staff service, very responsive. Cons: Bumpy road to get to the hotel, steps

Excelente café da manhã ,,,o café é. Lá carte … muito bom eu todos os dias fiquei com o saudável …. E vem uma tigela de fruta muuuito gostosa …. Em frente ao hotel pode fazer snorkel … mas leve sapato de água … o hotel é próximo do embarcadouro na maré baixa … mas você levará uns 40 minutos de carro … devido ao trânsito e volta que terá que dar …. Pagamos 200 rúpias para ir de carro do embarcadouro ao hotel ( duas pessoas ) a ilha é muito legal … locar scotter … se estiver acostumado com moto … senão far de carro e enfrentará ó trânsito….mas pode ser mais seguro para quem nao está acostumado com moto …

Siamo stati benissimo, lo staff era sempre gentile e disponibile, l'hotel molto bello, la camera e i bagni puliti e moderno con piscina e accesso al mare. Il cibo del ristorante era buono e siamo riusciti a prenotare una gita con le mante stupenda. Siamo molto soddisfatti della nostra permanenza.

My experience at this hotel was fantastic. The service was excellent—very helpful and professional throughout our stay. They even assisted us last minute with our travel plans, which was greatly appreciated. The room was clean and spacious, and we enjoyed the good quality food offered. I highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant and accommodating stay.

Amazing Hotel, Friendly staff, Nice Large Bed and Bathroom, Also room is large. Great Pool and Bar Area. Location abit Difficult to access due to Nusa Penida Roads, so prepare to be slightly inconvenienced on you journey, Island still Fairly new to Mainstream tourism

The hotel is very nice and has an amazing view, the only inconvenience I would point out is that to arrive there is a little bit complicated because of the road conditions, but it like that in all Nusa Penida

A very ordinary hotel which is not worth the price , below average service , room was OK view was OK but overall don’t expect anything luxury or as the name suggests sea view relaxation , there are lots of stairs to go to the restaurant downstairs and the road to get to the hotel is just horrible. Quality of breakfast below average. Everything was just disappointing.

I had a wonderful stay at Sea la Vie hotel. My bungalow was lovely and private. The food was good and the service in the restaurant was excellent. Big shout out to restaurant staff for their hospitality. The pool area, although small is tidy and very well maintained. Road to access hotel is very bad but ok if you’re in a car. However, on my last day, I sat in the chair in my room to enjoy the air conditioning before taking the ferry back to Bali. It was the first time I sat on this chair and the leg broke. I informed reception on checkout that the leg broke. They wanted me to pay for the chair, even though the chair should be able to hold a normal weight. I was a little disappointed and I refused to pay. I understand that if I broke a lamp or a chair on purpose, I would pay for the damages however me sitting on a faulty (?) chair should not mean the customer needs to pay. A lovely stay overall!

Road to the hotel is in extremely bad condition. Also garbage everywhere. (But hotel is amazing)

This hotel was great I can see why it’s highly rated. I do feel like it is a bit highly priced in comparison to some of the other resorts we stayed in that were equal or better overall and a bit cheaper. We really did enjoy our stay here the staff and service were all great.

Beautiful hotel located right on the water. You can see the hotel front from the port wheb you arrive. Restaurant food is delicious. Service there is on island time so give yourself time to eat as it is a little slower. We visited in February which is slow season. We really enjoyed our time there. For light sleepers, the rooms are not insualted so you do hear every early morning noise including worship songs at 5am. Staying by the port anywhere in indonesia will be noisy in the mornings. When you arrive to the port, hire a taxi to take you to the hotel as the road is a hard walk! Overall, picturesque and enjoyable for us!

Friendly stuff

Overall the stay was good except the road to reach the hotel. Staff was very helpful. We had a New Year’s party here. Infinity pool is awesome.

Great hotel awesome view friendly staff all just a good experience The ride up there is a little difficult

The view from hotel was amazing.

Excellent and the staff were super nice. Highly recommend to anyone

We booked the ocean view villa, but upon our arrival at the resort, they offered us a free upgrade to their private pool villa. This villa was beautiful! The design is very modern and it was extremely clean. All of the staff were very nice and helpful as well. Highly recommend!

Vejen til hotellet var forfærdelig. Umuligt at køre til og fra hotellet. Det var ikke muligt at gå ned til byen, så man var låst fast på hotellet om aftenen. Maden smagte ikke af noget og internet virkede ikke på vores værelse. Desuden var der håndværkere fra kl 8.00 til kl 18.00 som larmede meget. Smuk lokation og igang med renovering. Flot poolområde. Opholdet var ikke pengene værd

We had the most lovely time at Sea La Vie resort. Aga our manager made the experience the most impressive. He ran to town twice to get us sunscreen and bungee cords. He also put out many fires and was so kind to the guests and made sure that everything ran smoothly.He is one of the best managers we've experienced at a resort. The resort was unusually clean. We were there for 3 nights and didn't experience even one bug in our room. We were very surprised as we've been around Bali and experienced many bugs.The cleanliness was off the chart.The one setback which would not have been a setback if I had known about. It was the fact that there is a Muslim mosque nearby and at 4:50 AM. They start their morning chant prayers by speakerphone and it is near the resort so. You hear it 5 times A-day and it is very loud and the. Resort does its best to cover over. Speakerphone noise pollution with music. Other than that we were absolutely ecstatic to stay there.They have a private dock that you walk down to the ocean and we snorkeled the water was exceptionally clear and clean and the coral and sea life was. Beautiful and we didn't even have to leave our resort.The pool was our favorite part the temperature was perfect. We ordered food and drinks in the pool never had to leave.Note you want sunscreen and some sort of shade so if you have. A? Hat or if you bring an umbrella? The pool has no shade during the day.

Hotel was extremely beautiful, staff was amazing. The only downside was that at 4am every day there were prayers coming from the town thru very loud speakers. It woke us up both nights we were there. They go on at 4am and all through the day and usually last about an hour or so. It was pretty cool being dropped off at the hotel’s dock on a taxi boat. It was kind of cloudy both days but the view was still amazing.

This is the best place I’ve stayed in a loooong time. AMAZING views and people are really nice.

Amazing staff and very good service.

This is a beautiful hotel and property! Unfortunately the walls between rooms are so thin that you can hear your neighbors conversations, very clearly. The property itself has a great view but the location is inconvenient. To walk to town you are best taking the short cut through a narrow trail in the woods and through a boat yard . Otherwise, over 1hr walk on the road.

Absolutely stunning views. Incredible boutique hotel. Breakfast was great, staff were excellent. Infinity pool is perfect. Good location close to harbour. Would stay again in a heart beat.

Great hotel, fantastic view, of course you will hear the mosque but was fine by me. Staff really nice and warm. Very good restaurant, which is a very good thing since the road to get there is kinda rocky!!! Only negative point is the audio by the pool and for the restaurant is poor quality. This is not also the kind of ambiance to but too loud and pop music. They should focus on easy listening music to create a good ambiance for dinner !

Sea La Vie is a sleek, modern hotel with a gorgeous view of the bay. The swimming pool and restaurant overlooking the bay and Mt. Agung in the distance is really the highlight. Rooms were very clean, comfortable, and new. Property location is at least 15 minutes from most restaurants and attractions and the roads around the property are narrow and in poor condition. We got around fairly easily on motorbikes which the hotel arranged for us.

De las peores experiencias que he tenido, no reserveis nunca con ellos, ante un problema no se responsabilizan de nada

Koste oss der i 2 netter. Hotellet er flott, med rene og fine rom. Fint basseng med uteområde. Egen sti ned til stranden, som er en opplevelse å gå i mørket på vei hjem på kvelden.

Hébergement neuf, personnel super attentif, piscine magnifique tranquillité assurée.

Beautiful view and awesome pool with a bar. Friendly and helpful staff. Villa has a rustic beach home vibe. It's comfortable. Clean pillows and sheets. Not the nicest washroom; doesn't have a fan. You do have to adjust your expectation based on this hotel being on a remote island. Like others said, extremely poor and narrow road to the hotel. No way I'd drive a scooter there even though I drove throughout the rest of Bali. You'll need to hire a driver to explore the island which is worth it. The hotel can arrange it. There's a mosque near by. You can hear the prayers over the loud speakers throughout the day, even early in the morning (like 4:30 am). The hotel does provide ear plugs that help. Overall, I'd stay here again if I ever came back to Nusa Penida for 2 or 3 nights. Wouldn't do more because it's so remote and mosque would eventually drive me crazy.

Beautiful property and incredible staff! We were a bit hesitant as this was a new resort. The drive to get there is a bit bumpy but once you arrive, it’s worth the drive and you quickly realize most streets in Nusa are similar. Our room was beautiful, the staff were so friendly and helpful to arrange for transport / recommendations. Pool and views were amazing!! They made our Nusa stay for our honeymoon very memorable. We can’t wait to return.

Incredible views of the harbor below. Super comfortable beds…definitely Not handicap friendly…the road to the hotel is a little rough…restaurant is not vegan friendly but offers a nice menu…staff is very friendly but it would nice to see someone in the office starting at 6am…the hotel is expanding but the construction is not really a problem…it’s a beautiful location and great hotel to stay at…we will be back.
