What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

The menu at the dining area was incredibly well-balanced, offering both Indonesian and Western choices that were absolutely scrumptious. I particularly loved the 'comfort food' options after a day of activities. One evening, I requested a special dish, and to my surprise, the chef prepared delicious sashimi even though it wasn't on the menu! Dining here felt luxurious amidst the beautiful natural setting.

Luxurious Tent Comfort

Staying in a tent might sound unusual, but at Amanwana, it was a luxurious experience. The tent was beautifully designed, offering comfort with all the amenities you could wish for. The sound of waves and the gentle rustling of the canopy made me feel close to nature, with unexpected visits from deer right outside my door every morning.

Amazing Snorkeling Adventures

I had the chance to go snorkeling off the jetty, and it was simply superb. The beautiful coral reefs are a diver's paradise, and I enjoyed every moment exploring the vibrant underwater life. Equipment is readily available at the beach club, making the experience seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend the snorkeling here for everyone looking for adventure!
