Casa Kapuas

Breakfast was really good, and every day when we got back from the beach there was fresh fruit waiting for us. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Tan, the best we've experienced in Indonesia so far. You can rent bikes and book excursions at reasonable prices at reception. The rooms are nice, though the bathroom is outside, which looks good but may not suit everyone. The air conditioning wasn't strong enough to cool the room during the day, but it was okay at night. Soundproofing isn't great, so a noisy group at the bar can make it hard to sleep. Every morning at 5AM, we could hear the local mosque and prayers for about 15 minutes. That was quite disturbing, but it's not the accommodation's fault, so we don't count it as a negative.

The outdoor bathroom with plants was a lovely detail, and the room itself was comfortable and very clean. The place has character but still feels cosy, with a nice pool and common area where you can relax with a drink. The guys running and working at the hotel were fabulous, welcoming, friendly, and funny. They couldn't do enough for us. We had a wonderful 2-night stay and would recommend it.

The bungalows were cosy, the pool was amazing, and the lounge area was relaxing, but the staff are what made this stay so special. They became friends, and without them our time on the island wouldn't have been half as enjoyable. It was a magical stay, easily one of the best hotels I've ever visited. Huge thanks to everyone, and see you next time.

The manager was so welcoming and friendly, and couldn't do enough to help. We loved our 5 nights here, probably one of my favourite places I've ever stayed. It's far enough from the main street to be quiet, and the pool is fantastic. The room has everything you need, and the outdoor bathroom is really nice. There's a communal fridge, and you can order coffee and food too, though I didn't try them. I'd absolutely stay again.
