Frangipani Beach Hotel — Hotel in Pulau Bali

Unfortunately, this stay was a disappointment. Unlike with any other acquaintances in Bali, here we felt not welcome. Already at our arrival, after a several hour trip from Sidemen to Lovina, we were not happy with the check-in. Stressed personal, renovation work opposite of our designated room and a construction side on the east side of the property was a frustrate begin.|The room was ok, but the bathroom was not. It is orientated towards the entrance pathway of the hotel and it is partial open. So, you could hear anyone and anything from outside during you are in the shower or toilet – very inconvenient. We suspect, the personal spend their pause time also somewhere close to our bathroom, because we could hear them talking all the time. One of the two washbasins did not work, and all fittings (shower, basins, drain) were severe calcified. |It seems, during the pandemic the doors were simply shut, and nothing was maintained during this time. As a result, after the re-opening season with new money they start to renovate now in the off-season.|The Hotel would have potential. Good size of rooms and pool, nice garden area, direct access to the beach. But all this does not matter if you do not feel welcome and comfortable.|After one night we cancelled the rest of our stay and moved on.

I could not possibly fault this little hotel. ||The intimate but private layout and space of 12 or so rooms, an open kitchen, dining, pool and grassed yard area with a small gate to step directly into the beach.||Rooms were very comfortable, quiet, extremely clean and well equiped with good linen, good air con, wifi and quality bathrooms. ||The food, made in the open kitchen area, was beautiful at every meal. We had planned to explore Lovina village but found ourselves Re-ordering the excellent Mie Goreng, hand cut chips, omelette, desserts. I purchased some fresh snapper which the girls produced and excellent coconut fish curry from.||Staff were gentle, attentive and kind. It felt like a family run business. ||Other guests were mainly European and couples. ||Beach access being a few steps from the grass covered sun lounge area was beautiful. Long long walks on flat sand with calm water were possible day and night.||A neighbour massage guy gave me a brilliant leg and foot massage. ||I walked the 20 mins or so into town and down to Pepito where there was everything additional you might need (fruit, wine, tuna!).||I cannot wait to return again to this idyllic island village spot that is just what Bali means to many people, yet so hard to find. ||Thanks to all at Frangipani...
