    The manager Michael is fantastic, he sits and chats with you then suggests/ arranges things for you to explore. I asked other dive centers about diving in Nusa Penida, no one had a trip planned. Michael said he’d look into it and managed to schedule a trip for 2 days later with 6 other divers. It was a fantastic dive day. He’s saved that leg of the trip and it’s still the best diving ive done in Indonesia so far (Raja Ampat and Komodo is still pending). Breakfast is great too!

    The Wi-Fi in the room was not very good and the water pressure in the shower could have been better. It's quite pricey.

    Very nice room with comfy beds. There is also a small desk, fridge and a balcony. Located right on the beach. The free breakfast buffet is really good. I really liked that there was a water dispenser inside the room.

    There are not enough roof covering when it rains over the open toilet.

    Literally an open toilet, can be challenging when going to toilet when it is raining. Althought drying racks was provided, it can be quite a challenge when you have many swimwear and gear to dry. I think all rooms should be equipped a hair dryer and not having to borrow from the front desk everytime we need to use it.

    There was torrential rain one night but that's outside of the hotel's control! We were glad to have hot showers and a clean bed!

    We loved it that the hotel is right on the front of the bay overlooking the beach and the fishing boats. Great to see the ferry boats coming in and out. Nice sea view from the balcony. The bed was comfy and the breakfast was excellent - plenty of yummy fresh fruit and eggs cooked fresh according to your taste. This is probably the best hotel in Padangbai.

    We had a great time in Padangbai. It is a nice town with the blue lagoon beach and the ”white sand beach”. The snorkling at both beaches was great. We saw nice corals, loads of colorful fish and sea turtles. The hotel had a super nice breakfast and the personnel was friendly. Everything was great.

    The only thing I didn't like was leaving!

    My room at Absolute Scuba was beautifully clean and comfortable with good aircon, a drinking water dispenser and a lovely balcony. The location directly opposite the beach was perfect for me, close to the ferry terminal and a short walk to shops for necessities. All staff I interacted with were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Masih, in reception, was an absolute delight to chat with. While I'm not yet a scuba diver I am a keen snorkeller and thoroughly enjoyed the morning out on the boat, snorkelling with the most beautiful fish, a gorgeous turtle and stunning coral. Highly recommend Absolute Scuba and will definitely stay again.
