We have stayed here before a we new that the property was old but we liked the tranquillity, how close it was to the beach and the pool and gardens, but under new management a lot of the staff have gone, the pool was filthy and their were rats running around the eating area and the water was off most days. The manager did not get of his backside once to look at the pool and acted surprised each time we complained. we spoke to a number of holiday makers at the site, some who had been coming here for a lot of years and they all said . Never Again

This was clearly a beautiful hotel but its new owners began demolishing it a couple of years ago with plans of renovation that have not materialised. There are abandoned site works completely spoiling the appearance of the hotel exterior to the point where hotel reception no longer exists and you check in in a dusty back office. However the pool area is still lovely, the staff are gorgeous, breakfast great, location perfect and the rooms are much better than I expected...just old. Water supply is not consistent but didn't have to wait too long.

Lets be honest, this hotel is in need of major renovation, even knocking down and complete rebuild, but in saying that, the accommodation is clean, our room A/C worked perfectly (and quietly) bathroom adequate, as all facilities worked, but were dated, i.e. chrome flaked of tapware. The staff were friendly and helpful but number of staff was minimal, as you had to find a staff member to get a drink while seated around the pool. The location of the hotel is second to none directly opposite the beach. Neighboring hotels are charging upwards of $300-400 per night. Due to low cost of this hotel I would defiantly consider staying here again, as we had an enjoyable holiday.

The staff were lovely, but the property itself is very very run down. We booked for 4 nights but only stayed 1 due to the condition of property. We paid for 2 nights and got 2 nights refunded. It is more of a backpacker quality hotel. Lovely location so would be great if they renovated.

This property is extremely run down. On arrival they upgraded us to a supposedly better room however it smelt strongly of mould and the air con didn't work. We decided to go back to the smaller room. The staff were amazing and obviously doing the best they can with a property that the owners have just let fall into disrepair.

We have always liked this hotel because of the great location and wonderful staff but unfortunately it's just being allowed to fall apart! The wonderful staff are doing their absolute best to fix all the problems as they occur, which are many! The gardens are still magnificent, which is one redeeming feature, others are fading fast! I don't hope something can be done to make improvements soon, before it's too late!

Disappointing
My first thoughts were this hotel was lovely but run down. Location is great. With some better organization of this hotel it could be amazing if managed properly. The Gardening Man was amazing with a gorgeous smile. The lady that did the breakfasts was lovely. The pool was never cleaned so we didn't swim in it. The room cleaning staff were lazy. My room was not cleaned the day the Manager Ari was not there. I asked 4 times that day for clean towels and didn't get them. The next day we went out we came back at 1pm and our room still wasn't cleaned. So I went to see Ari and our room was cleaned with in the hour. It is ashame because it could be a fantastic hotel.

RIP was a real gem
This traditional Bali hotel was a favourite of ours and it's basic room and facilities overlooked as the location, gardens and staff were great. However the gardens have been let go, the restaurant was closed at night, only one English tv channel on continuous rugby. The older staff have been replaced by trainees. Only stay if you inspect first.

Great location, that is all.
The staff are delightful, the room was ok, the shower was bloody terrible, flooded bathroom, we had the best room out of all the others we went with. Pool was dirty and broke down after 3 days of being there, still not working when I left. For what you get very over priced. Won't be going back there and won't be recommending to anyone. We are not people who want 5 star for cheap, I have been to Bali many times and stayed at Puri Raja, Beleka, Much better value than Sari Beach, very disappointed, I know it has new owners and they are to blame for the disgusting state this place is in. Feel very sorry for the staff, they are over worked as new owner removed half the staff. Best Spring Rolls and that is the only good thing I can say about the Sari Beach.

Charming Private hotel .
We were given a free room upgrade as water pressure none exsistent in our room and sheets old and beige looking ! Could do with some major renovations to the building! Gardens were lovely and pool ideal with such friendly and helpful staff. Location perfect really right on beach and close to restaurants.

Hidden gem
I decided to give this place another try after a mess up by management last year and it was worth it. Hotel is an older more established facility and as such does not have the bells and whistles of the latest trendier places but has charm. Location, location! On a sweet spot of legian beach far from traffic and bars. Gardens and pool well kept. Resto not quite up to speed. Staff helpful. Not so many rooms so can get booked. I would return.

Boutique hotel on beach
While the boutique hotel may be a little long the tooth, it is a gorgeous location on he beach with a convenient little pool, and striking Balinese architecture. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely little couples villa which was so nice. I would recommend trying to get the private villa that sits on its own.

Nice gardens and good location but that's it!!
The rooms need renovating and a good clean. The bathroom was awful - leaking toilet, barely a trickle of water out of the shower, unclean. (I bought gloves and cleaning liquid and gave the place a good scrub). The deck chairs around the pool are filthy. I would not recommend this place. They need to spend some money on renovations.

Amazing position, Massive shame about the rooms
My Stay at Sari beach was exceptionally disappointing, they have an amazing position with beautiful grounds, however the rooms are so badly dated, requiring massive amounts of maintenance and just not clean. Nothing about my room was good except the air conditioning. Also the WIFI was very spotty, in my room there was barely any signal, sitting outside sometimes i had 100% signal, other times, there would be no connection at all. For the price i would expect so much better.
