"The location was amazing, tucked away from the busy streets so we could get a restful nights sleep but walking distance to so many good restaurants, shopping, and the beach! The property was beautiful and clean and the staff was great. Definitely recommend staying here."
"We had a wonderful stay at Ungasan Clifftop Resort. The service was excellent and made everything so easy and enjoyable for our family. The staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The beautiful access to Sundays Beach Club was definitely a huge plus and the stunning clifftop views made the experience even more special. We would happily stay here again."
"We had an amazing stay at Villa Monoii during our honeymoon. The villa was exactly what we were looking for—private, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout was spacious, and the Wi-Fi, TVs, and amenities made it feel like a home away from home.
Check-in was seamless, with everything ready for us when we arrived. During our stay, we requested fresh linens, and they were replaced almost immediately, which we really appreciated.
A special thank you to Degor, who...
"The 2 bedroom villa is spacious, clean and bed is comfortable. Although the resort opened in late 2025, the room doors look old and couldn’t close properly, but it’s not a big deal.
The staff are very helpful, friendly, and their service is superb. I will certainly recommend Amayi to anyone travelling to Nusa Dua"

Beautiful hotel. Amazing details in the lobby. Its massive. Quite a long walk to the front of the hotel, so don't forget anything in your room! Amazing pools and beach. Wouldn't go in the sea though. Beautiful sunrises. Decent air conditioned gym. Breakfast was good, although not the best I've had in Bali. The Indonesian cakes were very nice though.
