Botaniq Hotel Boutique

The peaceful feel made this charming boutique hotel a lovely escape from everyday life. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the decor reflected Balinese culture beautifully. Right on the beachfront, it has wonderful sea views and you can hear the waves. I had an amazing stay and highly recommend it for a relaxing break. I can’t wait to return.

The warm, attentive staff made our stay memorable, and the on-site restaurant served delicious Mediterranean food. We spent two days at this beautiful hotel on the Mediterranean shore. Its Balinese style and thoughtfully designed spaces felt cozy, charming, and peaceful. Pure bliss.

Staying at the hotel was an awfully wonderful experience, like finding a little corner of paradise :)

Being so close to the beach was wonderful, and the large, sturdy sunbeds by the pool and on the beach were comfortable and felt luxurious. It’s a beautiful location with real potential, and being adults-only was a plus, but I was sadly disappointed by the dirt and mould. For me, that level of poor cleanliness isn’t acceptable in any hotel, especially at €260 a night. I can’t understand why such obvious problems aren’t dealt with right away. The pool looks like a stunning mermaid lagoon from outside, but the tiles are rusty, mouldy, and sharp once you get in. The iron and rust smell from the water stayed on my skin for days. The bed covers were missing, leaving only wooden structures, and the pool showers barely worked. Some basic things were disappointing too: I asked for pineapple juice by the pool and was told there was no juice at all. The next morning, Thursday, there were no bananas. One night we ordered room service, hoping for a romantic evening on our balcony, but the response made it feel as though they were doing us a favour. A two-egg omelette in a dry baguette with packaged mayonnaise on the side cost €9, which didn’t feel luxurious or worth the price. There’s no telephone in the room to call reception. The rooms were filthy, rusty, and very damp. The stone sink and bath were features we’d especially wanted to enjoy, but the bath was dirty and cracked, and the tap was covered in black mould and rust. The sink wasn’t fit for purpose: the tap didn’t reach far enough, so water ran down behind it and flooded the floor, adding to the mould, humidity, and dampness. For €260 a night, with only 14 rooms and not all occupied from Wednesday to Friday, I expected more active service. I’d have liked someone to ask if we needed anything or wanted a menu. By the pool, there was only a QR-code menu on Wednesday, and staff weren’t there at all for the rest of our stay.
