The Chandi Boutique Resort

Staff was very friendly and gave personalized care whenever required. The resort grounds were beautiful and well kept. The food in the restaurant was amazing! We ate almost every meal there in the 4 night stay- never disappointed! The outdoor bathroom was clean, and serene to be in.

Only 2 things. The bed was uncomfortable and had an unpleasant smell to it. That damp/old kind of odour. Everyday, beach merchants would sit just out front of the hotel (where pool and restaurant are located) and harass us from the beach. I understand that it’s a public beachfront, but I absolutely despised having my toddler lured over, being shouted at while using the pool (and said, No, already 3x) and even while having lunch in the restaurant. The staff did/said nothing to them, and the time I had set aside to read and relax in front of the ocean was ruined. Honestly, bad enough that I would reconsider not staying again. We had returned from touring and purchasing MANY items from locals along the beaches already.

The breakfasts were good. The grounds are beautiful as are the rooms. The staff are very friendly. The location is fine and it is about a 10 minute cab ride into Senggigi. There are no restaurants etc within walking distance (except for the hotel restaurant which was quite good), so you have to take a cab to get into town. The rooms were beautiful with a wonderful semi outdoor bathroom.

Overall, we were very happy with this resort! The rooms and hotel grounds are beautifully kept and very very clean. The beach area is ok but there is a lot of plastic on the beaches near this hotel (as is the place almost everywhere we went in Bali and Lombok. They work hard to keep the beach directly in front of the Chandi hotel pretty clean but this is an ongoing job as there is plastic washing up on beaches every day. We suggest that the hotel reduce the use of plastic by providing drinking water in glass containers that are refilled daily or by providing only a few bottles of water in the rooms and then refilling the bottle every day and allowing guests to refill them (i.e. in the reception area) from a large container of filtered water. Anything to reduce the use of plastic would be great! (We appreciate that they did not use disposable plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles. Instead they used beautiful stone dispensers in the bathroom!

I love everything about the place and enjoyed the spa.

The toilet when it is raining. I had my baby with me so we kind of showered half from shower head and half rain. Haha

The staff was very friendly.

Pillows were smelly even after replecing the linen it still stay a bit stuffy.
