I stayed at the Matahari for 2 weeks back in June 2022 and had such a great time that I came back again in August 2023. This time I upgraded my room to Delux as I was with a friend which gave us a little more space. The purpose of our visit was to scuba dive and do underwater photography. I did 39 dives (cracked my 1000th dive) and got some great photos - especially macro - in fact having dived many places in the 'Coral Triangle' I really think that when you weigh things up this is one of the best locations you will find anywhere as you have a great variety creatures, the diving is easy, the accommodation is great in every way... in fact staying at the Matahari is like being on a land based live aboard! The visibility underwater was better this time... on a few days we had an honest 30m, most days 20-25 and a couple of dives around 18m. The menu in the restaurant is varied and includes western, Balinese, Chinese, Italian and Indian dishes. The prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious. The owner of the resort, Suci, takes a great interest in the food at the restaurant and it shows that she cares. I tried many different dishes and enjoyed everyone. The staff are very helpful and polite, especially the dive guides, Parta and Koming and the guys who look after you at reception... nothing is too much trouble. When I arrived it was great that many of the staff were still there and remembered me from my previous visit. I have booked again to return in 2024!!!…

Don’t be put off by first impressions, I think all of the hotels have been hit really hard by covid. Yes the place could do with a lick of paint and some minor repairs, but everyone is really helpful and the dive centre is good. So I think the service warrants a 5. As the diving is shore based it’s relatively inexpensive. If diving the Liberty I’d recommend getting up early and doing the 6:30 dive. As we were a family group of four, we had our own guide and could dive at the times we wanted.

We moved into the Matahari Resort after we stayed some days in a villa not far away (Matahari Villa). We spent now our 7thd stay in this outstanding and very familiar leaded resort. The owner have renewed and renovate most of the bungalows and rooms during the close period of corona. We where six people and enjoy the relaxing time. We get diving tanks and where diving on the beach in front of the resort, right side on the drop-off or left handside at the liberty wreak - this was perfect for wide angle fotography and we found a lot of new and spectacular critter and species. The resort was very clean and the service (cleaning rooms and house) was great. We get fresh breakfast wich we enjoy with seaside view in the restaurant. All of the people work with heart and soul since years in the resort and the feeling is like to be at home with friends. They offer the hole day a pick up to a lot of siteseeing places like temples, waterfalls and a lot more. Also they drive you the many nice diving spots not fare away.…

A superb location with great accommodation with amazing food & fabulous friendly efficient staff. I am a novice with diving but it was brilliant to share stories, photos & video with the many wonderful guests who travel from all over the world to enjoy the exquisite sunken wreck & stunning coral reefs. Dive instructors are first class. I will certainly return to do the full scuba course.

We are on a 4 Month Itinerary touring South East Asia.. Matahari was literally our 20th Hotel/Homestay.. We are accomplished Divers but chose not to bring equipment as our intentions were not to Dive more than perhaps a total of 10 days over the course of our trip... We maintained minimal Luggage to simplify our mobility around this beautiful part of the World. We rented their on sight gear... some pieces were admittedly a little more worn than we are used to.. but managed to be geared up for some awesome diving... also will point out that while their, they just received a large supply of new gear. From the moment our driver picked us up in Ubud we were continously Greeted with Smiles and a Willingless to Please... this Trend Contines with Every Area of Sevice; Front Desk Reception, The House keeping Staff, The Restaurant Staff, The Spa Staff... We do wish to give a Special Shout out to Ben ( De Bentar)... who was great at Organizing our Dives/ Equipment... Our Dive time was not about Challenging or Deep Dives ... but more relaxing, visually Interesting and Fish Laden Sites... We got Exactly that... Many Nemos were Found along with another Hundred Varieties... Super Fun seeing Turtles and Octopus too... My Reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the Resort can Really use a Refresh in Decor/Paint and Scrubbing.. Covid has been hard on most of this sort of business... but it was great to see a "Breath of Life" at Matahari... so hopefully more revenue will allow for this... Wishing you Fabulous Business..We will Recommend...…

Nice clean rooms. Little bit out of the sun and the beautiful views over the ocean. So the terrace could be better. You need to sit in the public spaces to enjoy them. The best food in Tulamben. Try the restaurant.

I've been here twice and this is my favourite spot in all of Bali. Matahari Tulamben Resort is such a quiet and friendly spot. The staff are amazing! From the reception to the room cleaners, drivers and restaurant staff, they were all great! The dive staff were superb. There is a whiteboard at the dive shop and you can choose from 5 different dives per day or you can have a schedule designed just for yourself. The shore diving is great, the local porters are a sight to see carrying BCD's with tanks and regs attached on their heads to the shore dive sites!!! They also organize off site dive excursions, I went on one to Nusa Penida and we did a couple of amazing drift dives! A beautiful place in a small village hours away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta and Denpasar, paradise :) Love it and will be back!…

We had two deluxe rooms and both were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was included and there was enough choice for everyone. This is not only a good choice for divers and snorkelers but a relaxing place for those who just want to explore the area or see a different part of Bali. Prices are very reasonable and the staff were all pleasant. The view from the restaurant is stunning, looking out at the ocean and Mt Agung behind. The 4 of us used the spa twice each. If you book two people at once you may need to ask the girls to stop talking / whispering, something that needs to be addressed. Once asked they quickly stopped, however massage services should be quiet. The massages and other services were good though. There is an inexpensive laundry on the street, a couple of convenience stores and a few local warungs. We would happily return and thank the staff for a lovely stay.…

The resort is on the the shore front and so provides excellent access to the dive shop, the restaurant and the beach (for shore dives). It is compact, but attractive and quiet (though I think the guesthouse rooms could be noisy as they are situated on the main road which is busy during the day, quiet at night). The staff are all lovely - very friendly and helpful. Our room was very reasonably priced, if small, and there was a problem with the plumbing, so there was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. Despite this problem, overall we were very happy with our stay at Matahari Tulamben. It was a great place to meet other divers.

After covid we finally could go back to Bali. And of course back to Matahari. We booked a year in advance and asked for one of the bigger bungalows and friends of us took the other bungalow. We arrived on time at the airport and our driver from Matahari was waiting for us. The transfer to the resort went smooth, even with the heavy traffic around the airport. Arriving at the resort was so very nice. All the people working there before covid are still working there! Suci, the owner, has kept the people healthy and provided food during the pandemic. Everybody still knew my name and we were really welcome once again. The 19 days went without any problem, only too fast! The Matahari team made the holiday very nice and with the great food, fantastic diving and the weather it was once again a perfect time. Thank you Suciajd team!…
