I thought I would be able to cool down after several months from this event, but after visiting Bali Indonesia (which was a very pleasant experience); I had to write this review. In December, right before 2013 New Years, my wife and I had made reservations and paid for a room 6 months in advance at Lawana Resort. When we... More

May 17, 2013 Thank you for your review. We had overbooking situation at the end of 2012/early 2013. We feel very sorry that the agent had not notified you. But we are purely to take the blame. What can we do to you to mend this? More

Gonna keep it short! Fantastic value for money but make sure you upgrade to the bungalows by the pool. Breakfast is great. Beautiful views of the beach and the other island. Cocktails are excellent and make sure you visit the bar next door (to the left). If I could live at this hotel I would and what makes me cross... More

Chalets in a garden setting, flowers perfume the air, greenery everywhere, the only sounds are palm trees rustling, and birds singing. Rooms are very comfortable, big fluffy pillows, tea and coffee making facilities, fridge, wifi. Staff are very smiley and nice, fresh towels and beach towels every day. Pool area overlooks the beach, a great place to relax and escape... More

My biggest regret is not reading the reviews for this hotel before booking a room online. After reading other reviews, it appears that several other travelers have had a similar experience to me with this scamming hotel. I booked a hotel room online over 6 months in advance. When I showed up to try to check into my hotel room,... More

We had rooms vacant in March so we do not understand why cancellation of your reservation was necessary. It seems that it did not happen.

We stayed in Lawana only one night. Very warm welcome by receptionists even though we arrived couple of hours earlier. Lovely garden bangalow but bathroom has easy access for mosquitos. Hotel provided electronic anti-mosquito plug which was very helpful. We enjoyed happy hour lunch and drinks 12-4pm. Amazing chicken sandwiches. Hotel has lovely pool and great views, located on the... More
