"OK Divers Resort and Spa is just perfect! The best place to stay in Padang Bai. Great facilities and location, super friendly and helpful staff, everything clean and well taken care off. My first scuba diving experience was here and I would definitely recommend it. Their restaurant has great food and deserts, fresh juices for breakfast, their spa has great packages and super relaxing conditions and the products they have for sale are superb! I actually regret not buying more bath salts and exfoliating soaps. If I ever go to Padang Bai again, I won't think twice about OK Divers."

"The reviews we read before booking were spot on. Perfcet location if you're staying one night before heading over to Gili. Tidy but dated rooms. No hot water in our room. Very pushy manager who sits down with you for your welcome drink and tries to sell you boat tickets for a ludicrous price. He came in at $1.3m IDR, we ended up paying him $900k return. This was okay, but I would suggest asking your driver to stop at some ticket offices in Padang Bai before you arrive. You'll see they all advertise for $800k. We would stay here again based on location and acceptable cleanliness, just be prepared to negotiate those ticket prices down. "

"We stayed in the serangan inn II one night to be close to the harbour to leave the next day to the gili islands. The room was clean and had as much space as in the pictures. Close to the blue lagoon beach and the white sand beach. For one night it was an okay place to stay. It doesn't bother me, but the showers only had cold water. Just so you know before you make your booking. "

"If you want to sleep to catch your boat / ferry the next day, this is and isn't the place to stay. It IS the place to stay if you want to be right next to the port. It ISNT the place to stay if you want to get any sleep at all. The roosters will keep you awake, the port bell sounds will keep you awake, the neighbor's music will keep you awake, the motorcycles will keep you awake, the air conditioning will keep you awake, and the fan will keep you awake. The room is clean but super basic and old. They do have decent wifi and it was nice that the room came with an AC and fan. Wouldn't stay here again. But I wouldn't stay in Padang Bai again either."

"pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of Bamboo Paradise. for about 10 to 12USD a night, the shower was strong and warm - not a miserable drip of icy cold water. the bed was metal frame, so not that wobbly. mixed dorm room has AC and a fan, so travellers who feel cold can opt for a fan instead. the bed was soft and i was so delighted to see that a big towel was provided as well! there was a shower and toilet in every room, so you only got.to share with the people staying in the same room as opposed to the entire lodging compound - of course it will be much cleaner in this way. Ayesha - the owner, was certainly most helpful and responsive. the hostel driver was over an hour late and did not seem at all apologetic. he even forgot the sign with my name so there was no way we could ID each other efficiently apart from PA system via flight info desk. Ayesha didnt just leave me in the lurch though, and got it settled ASAP. breakfast was scrumptuous as well, huge portion for me and the watermelon was great! yum. i have stayed in europe's hostels and seriously for 10 to 12USD a night, Bamboo Paradise right by Padang Bai ferry terminal is a shangri-la. also after a day of travelling around, i was more than glad to settle down.

"i was there as a solo traveller . The owner Mr Daeng is very friendly and he makes a big effort to make all guests feel comfortable. The swimming pool is a great place to chill out in the evenings or in days when the sea is too choppy, which makes swimming/snorkelling a hazard. There is a complimentary shuttle which ferries guests between town and the hotel during allocated hours, and it is very useful as the hotel is located around 1km from the town centre and it is up a steep hill there are 2 beaches in padang bai and the blue lagoon offers great snorkelling opportunities. Numerous great seafood eating places and temples here too. Most people just regard PB as a transit point between Bali and The x3 Gillis islands, failing to appreciate the natural and cultural jewels" that this place has to offer. PB can be used as a base to explore other surrounding towns "
