Absolute Scuba Bali Dive Resort

Resort

A lovely little hotel. The hotel is one of the few restaurants where you can eat pizza cooked in a wood-burning stove. Good for Bali breakfasts and totally unreal delicious doughnuts in the morning! Weak and not very tasty cocktails in the bar. Very good dive center, with great staff.

Fantastic place to stay and dive. The resort is perfect for all especially divers. The equipment is in great condition. The instructors are excellent, boat crews are excellent. Food is amazing at the restaurant and they have the only wood fire pizza on this side of the island (pepperoni is a must! ) amongst all the others in the selection. They also deliver pizza in and around the area if you are staying somewhere else. (the run out of fresh dough soon as there are a lot of orders so make sure you place an order earlier than later if you don’t want to miss out) The entire staff at the hotel from the waiters to the kitchen staff, bartenders also very courteous and helpful with everything. Rooms are spacious, air condition is available and the bathrooms are clean and everything works. Beds and pillows are especially comfortable. There is a TV in all rooms with some international and some local channels. There is a spa with multiple choices of massage and therapy perfect for before and after dives. Oliver and his wife Mia are the managers and the most hospitable ones. Cannot go wrong with this place. Must stay! Must dive!

The rooms were nice, clean, spacious. It's a common spot for divers, but still had the resort feeling. The restaurant was convenient and good quality. There's not a lot to do in Padang Bai, but this place was comfortable and good value. The airport pick up was excellent, but drop off can take a lot longer if people need to stop at other hotels etc. Would recommend staying here, but it's not a "happening" place.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean. Nice pool.
The breakfast was very good. But I liked the coffee.

A lovely little hotel. At the hotel one of the many restaurants of the gydem can eat a feast of priglotovrovany in a wood-burning oven. Good for Bali breakfasts and absolutely unreal delicious donuts in the morning! Weak and not very tasty cocktails at the bar. Very nice dive center, with wonderful staves.

The bungalow 4 is perfect, the hotel and the staff very hospitable, the rooms are very clean, the perfect bedding.
the noise of the ferries, normal since you are there to take them in order to join the Islands. Olivier and his wife are very friendly, Olivier really professional. In short it is for 1 night or more, here you will be fine.

Nice rooms and good service.

Super friendly stuff, great location, nice big rooms. Breakfast limited options.

Very basic, good for a 1-2 day stay and for easy access to diving and snorkeling trips.

Couldn't ask more of a mid-market hotel. Bar and restaurant were great with very good cocktails and pizzas, chilling in the pool with a bar was a nice break from the beach which was 5 metres away (or a 5 minute walk to the blue lagoon beach), and the staff were very friendly and helpful, they even helped organise a trip to see mantas with another tour when there wasn't enough people. Loved it!

Really enjoyed our stay here. Clean and comfortable rooms with big bathroom. Excellent food at the restaurant. Very relaxing atmosphere. Would stay here again.

Great place with all facilities. Clean, safe and good food and beverages. Favourite plave to stay inPafang Bai.

Good hotel breakfast great room well very very staff very very happy with my stay.

Nice hotel, pool outdated and partly broken, too bad.

Nice quiet place. Stayed one night for stopover before trip to Gilis. Had to get staff to sort issues with kettle and safe in room. Breakfast a bit boring. No one pointed out the egg station and we didn't spot it until already eaten so were disappointed.

The pizza here was to die for and the buffet breakfast was a nice surprise. Not the prettiest hotel but has a great vibe. As with all of Padang Bai not great value for money but good enough for a stopover.

Nice place to stay if you're diving. It's time to renovate the rooms.

Very good value for money just steps from the pier to the Gili Islands. Clean with pool and massage. Good pizza and ample choice of other courses at the restaurant. Breakfast buffet.

This place has good atmosphere because it locates by the beach. The price is ok. The bed was too big for this room. The pressure of water was quite weak. The breakfast was too small portion. The staffs were nice enough.

Clean and spacious rooms. Nice pool. Good pizza. Walking distance to all ferrys.

Beautiful pictures, but snake water.

A peaceful, dignified place for modest money with all the necessary things. Good in the winter when heavy rains are in other parts of the island. The beach with a white sand in 15 minutes.

The outdoor decor may look appealing but management staff is unwilling or unknowing how to maintain the place to be a comfortable sleeping accommodation. You can find the same prices offered at all the hotels on the street with breakfast and more comfortable rooms. Traveling everywhere in Indonesia especially in Bali for a backpacker room to cost $15+ in consideration with rooms costing $9 or less, you better hope that all things offered works. All things offered as simple as a ceiling fan to work in a hot day better work, especially when their huts have no circulation. When we put the fan in attention to one of the ladies who calls herself "manager" and told her that it probably needs to be reversely rotated because the blades were spinning but there is no wind power, she says that it's normal and she put the fan too high. Wish they told us that before we wasted a sleepless night here. So your out of luck and paying for a room that is normally you can't sleep in when the next hotels have a better view, better wind circulation, and nicer staff. Plus, as the photos suggest the bathrooms are all molded and rusted from faucet to shower heads to floors. I highly doubt that pool is as clean as you hope it to be. There were multiple rats running around inside our ceiling all night. The rooms with the fans are unbearably hot, and from what she told us even the AC rooms that are more expensive are hot too.

The restaurant has the best food in Padangbai. Recommend the fish pepes.

Truly awful! If you don't mind sleeping in a bed filled with bed bugs and waking up in the morning covered in around 70bites from forehead to foot — then this is the place for you… We stayed here just because we were catching an early boat to Lombok the next day — and biggest mistake ever. Possibly the worst hotel We have ever stayed at in our whole lives. Cockroaches is one thing (and there were plenty) — but actually seeing them in the bed running around in the bed. The only reason we stayed the night was we didn't realise what they were and thought we had brushed them off the bed — and awoke to the horror. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Joined with the fact I am allergic to them and each bite swelled up to the size or mini coconuts — made for an annoying start to a long awaited trip. Stay well clear!

Nice stay (room nr 2) air con + fan very clean, very good service and a nice breakfast.

Nice beach and white sand.
