Hotel Uyah Amed Spa & Resort

Điểm trừ: No refrigerator.

Điểm trừ: The mosquitos are horrendous both in rooms and at restaurant. No hot water as it’s solar powered. The lighting in the room is terrible. We only found out it was an “Eco friendly” resort after arriving at resort and reading the small print on the bathroom wall. It’s abit misleading. This is the first accommodation we have stayed at in Bali where the “Balinese service” was not on par with the rest of Bali. They do not have any blankets or duvets and the bed is so hard. So in terms of comfort it really lacks. There’s no reception number or anything and we found reception/restaurant staff weren’t very helpful except for Putu who made the effort to provide exceptional customer service.
The pool bar does not open so can’t get drinks or snacks if you’re lounging by the pool.

Điểm trừ: Shower water needs to be hotter with a shower that sprays to cover body easier

Điểm trừ: Cons: The worst part about Hotel Uyah was the NOISE. It was the loudest and noisiest hotel we have ever stayed in. The first night there was a huge party at the neighboring beach bar that was blasting music until almost midnight (obviously this isn’t something the hotel can control). It was so loud it sounded like it was on our doorstep.

After the music finally finished there were beach dogs barking and fighting with each other the rest of the night on the hotel property (they roam freely throughout the property, peeing on the bushes etc).

The second night there wasn’t a beach party, but again the dogs were barking all around the property on and off ALL night. I guess that’s why the property provides earplugs in each of the rooms, which I have never had to use ever in traveling to almost 60 countries haha… We extended our trip in Amed but left Hotel Uyah so we could all get some sleep.

During the day the hotel runs a loud motor in the common area, like a generator, to pump water into the believe? So when you finally get a break from crazy loud music and dogs barking you then get to listen to a loud generator outside your door during the daytime. The noise at Hotel Uyah just never stops.

The next really bad thing we encountered was that our children got incredibly sick after swimming in the Hotel Uyah pool. Both had severe vomiting and diarrhea after swimming in the Hotel Uyah pool.

Next is that we booked an “Ocean View” room, but when we arrived we found out that “Ocean View” at Hotel Uyah means you can sort of peek through the trees and see a little bit of water in the distance. Not really what we thought we were getting when booking.

Last is that the beach should really be cleaned up so guests can enjoy it more. It has lots of trash and large dead leaves all over it which makes it look uninviting and dirty. A little maintenance there would greatly improve the overall aesthetic of the beach and create a nicer experience for hotel guests.

Điểm trừ: The bed was hard.

Điểm trừ: Main problem- very loud music. We were very tired after plane, but it was impossible to be in the room - it was like someone play IN YOUR room, not outside. We had to go outside, where was quiet. We saw earplugs in the room, so it’s common practice.

Điểm trừ: Very dirty: part of the bathroom metal is corroding, dust and dirt on almost every surface in the room, etc.
- Loud: we had a room near to the ocean so the street noise was OK (which is not the case for the other rooms I guess) but there are noises from some kind of pump and roosters in the morning

Điểm trừ: Would be good to be able to eat on the quiet beach side rather than the noisy road side.
Mosquitoes in bathrooms - just buy smaller mesh fly wire and sort it out.
The water pressure was dangerous. From scalding hot to cold and then to boiling hot again - dangerous for unsupervised children left to shower themselves. Fortunately our children are almost adults.
Ping pong table and equipment needs updating. Buy some decent paddles.
Cushions on the poolside chairs would make a huge difference.
