This is absolutely a five star property experience, and to be frank, anyone who says otherwise is just and idiot. The property is manicured daily by a large group of caretakers, and the staff is constantly smiling at you while greeting you. It is set perfectly on the beach right in front of a biosphere for snorkeling, and very cheap (but great) restaurant extends to the beach as well. Don't give it a second thought, and just book it! You will love it!!!

A heavenly spot, gentle, warm, enough opportunities close by, and enough at the resort, so no need to leave it! Super comfy bed and gorgeous beach side dining!

Really enjoyed my three nights here. Great staff, beautiful location for diving and snorkeling and not overwhelming the way some other Bali spots can be. Good restaurant on site and many other good options within walking distance. Didn't see the fancy rooms, but my studio was very clean and comfortable.

Beautiful bungalows set in lovely tropical gardens. Fab beachfront setting. Lovely pool and excellent spa treatments. Staff friendly and helpful. My only criticism is they keep the garden beautiful but why do they not litter pick the beach and keep it nice too. Its very off putting to be in what is tropical paradise and then see plastic bottles, bags, nappies,general rubbish on the shore. I know it's not the hotels fault, but they really need to address it and litter pick every day. They pick up fallen flowers constantly which are totally inoffensive, but then leave rubbish strewn all over beach. I wouldn't recommend this hotel simply because of this as it is embarrassing. Such a shame as otherwise it is paradise.

This property is beautiful, The property is very well kept. There are mosquitos here and although a net was provided it was in poor repair. I travel with my own so this was not a problem for me but would be for others. I was a bit disappointed in reception as they did not tell us about the amenities and we had to discover things as we went such as restaurant hours, laundry process. We asked to stay a few extra nights and were offered a smaller unit only to see on expedia that there were larger more luxurious units available.. missed opportunity for the upsale as we would have sprung for a bigger unit had we known. Overall, this is a quiet resort in November and it was a lovely stay.. would come again!you can snorkle right off the beach which was a real plus! The beachside service was excellent!

I love this place. It is very peaceful with a great relatively clean beach, pool, great bar, and a pretty good restaurant. If you do want other food the town is a short walk and has some good places to eat and drink. There is also Diving and Snorkeling here and if you like live music there is a place just down the beach called The Reef Scene with music every Sunday.

Best place right on the best part of the beach
Taman Sari was just perfect. I stayed in the Studio which is the cheapest room they have and it was really pretty, spacious, with it's own terrace and a pool right in front. I had a safe, a refrigerator with drinks inside (moderately priced) and an electric kettle for tea/coffee. Taman Sari is right where the Biorock coral restoration project is and it's fun to snorkel right there. There is another pool at the beach, and a bar. The Spa is also at the beach and the delightful women who work there stay till 8:00 pm so there was always time to have a treatment or two at the end of the day. (The aloe pack saved my life after a day of snorkeling). I was there the second week on March. When I arrived it had rained very hard and the water was not completely clear, but it quickly became so transparent that I did not even need a mask to see the corals. The beach is sandy and the access to the water is easy, The sea in the days I was there was flat as a lake and I had some memorable swims. The buffet breakfast was huge and the restaurant is at the beach. It was a delight to eat dinner with my feet in the sand and the sound of the waves. Apart from everything else, what made it extra special is how well the place is run. In the morning as soon as I left the room a small army descended on it and cleaned in a very short time. Laundry was returned the same day. In the late afternoon they would come around and place lit mosquito coils on the terraces and in the open bathrooms. Super!

Luxurious Hideaway
We loved Tamin Sari for many reasons ... the luxurious accommodations, the quiet peace of the resort, the food, the warm friendly staff, the pools and beach, the gorgeous landscaping, and more. We had a small villa with an ocean view perfect for relaxing. My husband was recuperating from an illness and this was the perfect place for his rest and recovery. While we had not planned to be dealing with medical issues, we felt being here was so therapeutic. The staff accompanied his needs so well and asked about him daily. We’re coming back next year and will planning to take advantage of all that the resort offers. Highly recommend!

Lovely place, perfect location and setting, food was good, staff friendly, beach clean. The room did NOT look anything like the photo they sent us with our reservation confirmation. It was a very small studio. This photo is misleading and that is unacceptable. We were happy with what we got because we are happy people. But in looking at the photo now, it is wrong to send a photo of the room you are going to get and then have it be much different, much smaller than what you signed up for. Very unprofessional and should receive feedback. Everything else was good. EXCEPT -- there was a horrible sewage smell on the pathway to our room, for two of the four days. We couldn't believe it. We mentioned it finally, thinking it should have been obvious and only then did it get fixed. Again, strange and unacceptable.

Ridiculously amazing
A friend recommended this resort, and we were blow away with how nice everything was. We got a three bedroom villa, which was more than adequate for our party of seven. Considering the low per night price, we felt it was an excellent value. My kids loved playing in the good sized pool, and didn’t even get to the beach until the second day.

Paradise in Pemuteran
A very relaxing and peaceful hotel in an unspoilt part of Bali, our third stay at this hotel and some of the fixtures and fittings are getting a bit tired. This time we experienced many ants and mosquitos but with an outdoor open plan style living this is hard to control though staff do their best. Everyone is helpful and happy to help with problems that arise though can't always be rectified, would definitely return here next time we visit Bali. Perfect location for diving and snorkelling and the grounds of the hotel are immaculate with beachfront villas,and lovely pools, restraint on the beach....perfect.

Beautiful gardens, stunning mountains but boring!
It is a nice hotel set in beautiful gardens with a great beach and snorkelling and stunning mountain views. Unfortunately there is very little to do at the complex so if you’re not snorkelling of sunbathing it can actually be quite boring! The hotel food and drinks are much more expensive than a lot of places and they add 21 percent to the total bill for tax and service. Some of the staff were lovely and very friendly, some didn’t seem overly bothered, particularly at breakfast time when they didn’t seem very focused on clearing plates, replenishing coffee etc. We stayed in the studios which were nice but the pool water had a very strong bleach smell so wasn’t really suitable for use. The village area has a few warungs and shops but these are on a busy and noisy main road so not very pleasant. For a few days it’s a relaxing place to stay but I wouldn’t recommend any longer. We left 2 days early even though we had already paid for the room. We wish we’d left sooner.

Relaxing Resort with great Gardens on the Beach.
This resort was fantastic. Great for children. Felt safe. Lots to do. The location on the beach was lovely, and the gardens and pool great. Very relaxing. The studio room was all that we needed, with a great view of the mountain, tropical gardens and a secluded little swimming pool. The outdoor bathroom was different. Air con quiet. Bed comfy. Breakfast was great. Massages nice. Pemuteran was worth the long drive from Denpasar (5 hours with no stops). We hired a minivan and made a day of it stopping at a coffee farm, lake and waterfall on the way there, and a dormant volcano and Ubud on the way back. Pemuteran has lots of other little cafes for meals, choice of boatmen to go out snorkelling, and a couple of souvenir shops. There are ATMs, and a sign for one money changer.

Lovely! Relaxed! But could do better!
Really enjoyed our stay. Well maintained grounds and our garden view cottage was pretty. Glad we had mosquito nets. The outdoor bathroom was interesting and we liked it! The air conditioning was not brilliant! A fan would be better! As air conditioning unit in wrong place so doesn't come er the bed area! The pool is fantastic! The beach is nice but at low tide there us a log if rubbish. Gave the hotel feedback that they need to employ litter pickerange. They spend loads on gardener's so why not on liter? They are trying to promote eco tourism so help the beach and beach life and fish! It wouldn't take much to start to improve the area.

Fantastic resort, excellent beach!
Wonderful resort! Staff couldn't be kinder and more helpful. Snorkelling from the beach was fabulous. Beautifully located. Excellent restaurant and great prices, including fit spa. We had the Frog suite from which we could see the sea. Can't recommend this resort highly enough- very happy customers! :)
