Deluxe Suite

Downsides first: Nusa Dua is, to me, not very appealing and does not feel very Balinese. The view from the resort reminded me of the Costa del Sol. I'm not a golfer and would not fly half way around the world to stay on a golf course. There was also some noisy construction work going on nearby and occasional low flying planes were annoying.

BUT this is still a fantatic resort. The service is top notch and the two restaurants provide terrific dining variety. The thing that really made our stay (and we would not have chosen Amanusa otherwise) is the incredible beach club. The trip down in the vintage car is fun and the beach itself is beautiful. The best lunches of the trip were served from the tiny beach kitchen - not sure how they did it, but everything was delicious.

Room

Others have raved about the rooms at Amanusa. We stayed in a Deluxe Suite, which had a nice view towards the ocean. Compared to the beachy rustic rooms at Amankila I was less impressed with the Amanusa suites. The design is more urban and formal, with checked marble floors and bolder use of lighting in the bathroom. Just not my style. We also found the bed creaky and not entirely comfortable. Our mattress was definitely due a replacement.

Overall

On the final day we came back from the beach and had half an hour to shower and change before we left for our flight back to Hong Kong. Unfortunately there was no water in the room (or it seemed anywhere else in the resort). We were told that it was being fixed, but in the end had to give up and head to the airport covered in sand and suntan lotion. These things happen and they were apologetic, but it was not ideal.

Would I go back to Amanusa? Yes probably for the beach, but only in conjunction with another hotel in Bali. If you only stayed here you would not be getting a real feel for the island as a whole.
