When I read the previous post I wondered if we had made a mistake by staying at the Puri Cendana. We definitely had not. Our experience was:
Room - Older style, nice size and perfectly clean
Pool - Used multiple times every day and again lovely and clean.
Restaurant - Simple breakfast with delicious flavours. We also had lunch there and again loved the food and service .
Gardens - Immaculately kept and a pleasure to sit out on the verandah.
Massage - Lovely ladies, great prices very relaxing.
Staff - Excellent, arranged transport and tours.
I would certainly recommend Puri Cendana to family and friends and thank them for our lovely holiday with them .

This is the worst hotel I have stayed so far. Below are the points one should consider before booking.
1. It is very old style hotel. Rooms are smelly and dirty
2. There are many insects and flies and we had to kill many of them in our room during our stay.
3. The phone service was not working so for everything we had to walk towards reception.
4. We booked for 3 pax also their room online showed capacity of 3. But they charged us extra for 3rd person.
5. You can't use their swimming pool as it has dead insects and flies floating in it.
6. They don't have card to lock rooms. Instead they will give you one big key and lock using which is very tedious.
7. The bed sheets provided was dirty.
8. We tried to keep our doors always closed still can't stop bugs to fly in.
Please don't book this just by seeing picture online. Please do visit room before booking.

Great little traditional hotel . Good value for money .
The atmosphere is serene and peaceful. The bed was huge and the room had lots of space. The staff were all very kind, friendly and helpful. The rooms are perfectly cleaned . Very good air conditioning!!
Good breakfast. Not far from the centre, 3 min walk to the beach . Overall a very pleasant stay. Good Wi Fi
