Best Hotels in Pondang, Indonesia

A resort with almost or probably more than a hundred rooms it is impossible to find a parking lot, since it is small and can only be parked by quite a few cars. The Onsen in this resort is crazy, not everyone can tolerate its temperature, it's freaking HOOOOTT, not recommended to try it at night or especially on daytime. Try it dawn time around 4am - 6am when the air is cooler, I suggest the management to control the temperature make it not too hot maybe. And I think a beautiful resort like this needs a swimming pool apart from the onsen. Breakfast was delicious but the options were not so many compare to other hotels on the same pricing range. Wifi was not working well or might be not even working. The concept of the lobby and corridor is beautiful. It also has basketball court and children playground. Room was standard.

Overall, the hotel provides everything except the lamp in my room is dark compared to my other family’s room, and there is only one doormat in the room. I find it weird for the Accor hotel group.

Plusses: comfortable bed, excellent anti-mosquito setup, good air con and ceiling fan, excellent food, nice (though not extremely efficient) staff, attractive grounds, nice pool though hard to get in and out of it, good boats for snorkeling excursions. Minuses: terrible wifi: usually non-functional in the room, when functional is slow. Electricity went off several times and water once. Hot water insufficient. Sink doesn’t drain. ”Ocean view” is a lie - the rooms look out on the garden. Not all-inclusive: you pay extra not only for beer (which is reasonable) but for half the food choices on the menu (not reasonable). Most disappointing of all, the snorkeling is much worse than billed. The “house reef,” touted as ”packed with beautiful corals and a variety of marine life,” is in reality practically nonexistent. At many excursion sites all a snorkeler sees (aside from turtles) is extensively bleached coral and a few tiny fish. The only sites with halfway decent snorkeling are on Siladen and behind Bunaken.

im stay here with my family. i stay for 3 night. beautiful hotel, big swimming pool. but this hotel management should to pay more attantion with this point : - u have to training ur staff, how to to work on Front Office. more careful, smile and friendly! - when we enter the room, the room is very dirty. the staff give us the weong room. - when check in i already ask for extra bed.. they said will prepare the extra bed. i make 3 call only for this extra bed. first call, the man said “make sure the room” second ” on the way” and third “8-9 ago the extra bed already send to the room” bit we havent receivevthe extra bed. that time, we realy tired and we have flight in the early morning. hotel side is really bad for the service. - the room floor is leaking..
