Matahari Tulamben Resort Dive & Spa

Beautiful location great for snorkeling and diving! Nice breakfast watching the sunrise! However, the rooms were poorly maintained and structured. There were large gaps in the ceiling/roof and above the door, so geckos and mosquitoes could come in anytime. When we first arrived in our room there were multiple poop piles on our beds, and we were told that the at least 2 geckos lived in that room. We had to fight to get the sheets changed and ultimately they just changed our room. We saw a large gecko (size of our hand and fat) in our bathroom during our stay as well, as well as many mosquitoes inside. The room was small and with the furniture layout it was difficult to keep our bags. The diving is incredible in the area - we ended up going with a different local dive company because they had betheir rates were cheaper and they also let us borrow equipment the day before for free. They had much better food, WiFi, and hostel/friendly environment.

Despite not being a diver, I wanted to stay at this hotel and Tulamben.It had a killer view of the sea and Miunt Agung.The staff were very friendly and helped arrange a custom trip that I had chosen. The restaurant was decent, and the menu was really broad. Overall, I was really satisfied with my stay and would like to be back next time I visit Bali.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Great local diving, great dive guides, amazing food and drinks. Our only recommendation would be a better mattress for the beds. 2 out our 2 beds had a large dip in the middle. overall a great trip and we would return

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Matahari Hotel and extended by 2 days to explore the surrounding area, and dive on the US Liberty again !! Located right on the waterfront with direct sea access for snorkelling diving. Breakfast eggs, coffee/tea and either fruit or a fresh juice was a perfect start to the day in the sunshine looking out to sea. Hotel serves good food and slightly puzzled by the mixed reviews. We really enjoyed chilling on the roof terrace in the afternoon with views of Mount Agung and usually had the terrace to ourselves. Standard rooms are basic but do the job and are good value for what you pay (£14 a nite). Had a lovely massage in the onsite Spa and wish we’d gone earlier - recommend book Spa a day ahead if you want to go early evening.
