We stayed here for 3 nights after 4 nights in Saren Indah, Ubud. Although not close to matching Saren Indah's service standards, Pondok Bambu is pretty nice with newly renovated rooms and pretty good breakfast and restaurant (no buffet though). There's not much to do around though other than sitting on their porch and looking at the sea. There's no... More

It is a relaxed closeness in this resort that makes you feel at home. It has now got an inhouse dive center (Bambu Divers Candidasa), with their own instructor and diving boat, so it is a really...

Our biggest problem with the Pondok Bambu is that we were not there long enough. The lovely laid back atmosphere of the hotel and Candidasa itself, saw my family at it's happiest. We were in the family room (Rm 1) and even though it is the closest room to the road we really didn't have too much traffic noise. The... More

This was our third time staying at Pondok Bambu. The rooms are very comfortable, there's a nice pool and being located right on the ocean is great. The only minor issue we had was finding bugs in our food from the restaurant on three occasions (out of ten times we ate there). We have never had this issue at this... More

Handy to varied village shopping with a gorgeous pool and an outlook that,with a cool glass, music and sunset, had me thinking I'd found heaven!Lovely spacious villas with modern bathrooms and helpful staff. Would happily recommend this accommodation though not for dinner. Great in room massage by a magical masseuse was arranged on request.

We stayed in the seaview room, nice. The pool was excellent, as was the food. Staff were great, made early cups of Nescafe for us!!! The beds were very comfortable. The shower had very little pressure.

We found all the staff to... More
