Crystal Bay Villa

The hotel staff & bungalows were brilliant along with the local area, which was rustic and beautiful at the same time. The rooms are spacious and clean with a large bed and huge bathroom (not really needed). The outside area is kept clean and tidy by hotel staff on a daily basis. If you want replacement towels or coffee just ask and they will provide. Crystal bay beach is 5-10 minute walk away so you can avoid the 5k scooter/car tax, all you need to do is turn right out the hotel and keep going straight past all the houses, over a little mound, past the huge pond and you’ll see the beach in no time. Restaurants on the beach are good and there’s one right down the end (with two umbrellas only) that sell and amazing grilled Tuna. We didn’t have dinner at the hotel but there’s another restaurant a few minutes down the road that sell a great pineacolada. There’s also a spa and local shop if you run out of supplies. I would definitely advise getting your own scooter (either from the harbour or from the hotel reception) rather than private drivers as they much cheaper and makes the island more accessible. Some of the roads are a little bumpy, especially when entering attractions but most are of good standard minus a few pot holes or two. People generally drive slow on the island for obvious reasons and locals are happy to help with directions if your data doesn’t work (which is often the case). If your looking for a chilled, quiet and affordable place to stay then you in the right place.

I loved this place! The rooms, pool and the whole site was so beautiful. The staff were so kind and accommodating. We rented a scooter with them for a very reasonable price and also booked our taxi back to the port with them. The rooms were so spacious and in lovely condition, including a shower, bath and TV. It’s a short walk down to Crystal Bay beach. It was a great place to chill and relax, we had the pool to ourselves most times!!

This villa suited us perfectly. Located just a 7 minute walk to Crystal Bay. The room has great air con, tea/coffee making facilities and a comfortable big bed. The pool and area are clean. The food was great. Although you do have to pay as you go, rather than settle your bill on departure. You will need a moped or a driver to explore the island. The roads are a little tricky! We absolutely loved our stay at this property, quiet and secluded.

Situated at the midst of a valley, Crystal Bay Residence offered us the most authentic experience that Nusa Penida could. Despite of the remoteness of it's location (still within a walking distance to the crystal bay beach where you see dolphins), this place felt like home, our stay was extremely comfortable. They have maintained the villas really well, and has provided the availability of all basic amenities such as hot water, fabulous indonesian coffee, delicious breakfast, comfortable beds, bike for rental at an affordable price, port pick up cab with the best deal and a terrific view. This place has exceeded our expectations, I almost cried while leaving. Special thanks to Komang, Kadeh, Wayan and Kadeh they took great care of us, welcomed us well, very smooth check in process. These guys were available for every need of ours. Extremely polite and sweet boys. This place is highly recommended for those who are looking for a true Penida experience.

Friendly staff. Good pool. Nice and quiet area. Good breakfast. Comfy room.
