“Superb location & ambiance”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

What a fabulous place. Great location, helpful staff, clean, upscale and peaceful. We had the two bedroom with a view at the front of the hotel. Coffee outside in the morning was superb. It was one of the best locations I have ecer had at any hotel.

Room Tip: Bring your own food & wine - the kitchens are fully equipped!

Hi LovetoTravel!

We appreciate the great tip about bringing your own food to the property. Our rooms do indeed come fully equipped with everything that may need you need. We even have a juice extractor on hand for when you're on a health kick! I wish my kitchen at home was as nice as what we offer in the rooms. Thank you for the feedback and we hope that you 'travel' back to the Pantai Inn soon!

Terima Kasih,
(Thank you in Balinese)

“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

Wow - what a beautiful Inn. We stayed in a one bedroom partial ocean view. Everything exceeded our expectations. The location is absolutely fantastic. We walked everywhere - a nice perk in a place where parking is a challenge. The women who checked us in was very helpful and friendly. Wi fi worked well - fast and easy. Beautiful rooms with many extras and details like under cabinet night lighting in bathroom and a filtered water tap. Bed was very comfortable. My husband loved the huge flat screen tv. Breakfast was simple but delicious - big bowl of fresh fruit with variety of berries (not typical cantelope or bananas). They even thought to put out soy milk. So nice to listen to waves crashing. Loved our stay!!

Hi Indigo -

What a fantastic review of the property. I'm glad that we were able to exceed your expectations. The small touches such as offering soy milk at breakfast I feel are what set us apart. Please think of us for any future stays as we continue to grow and expand.

Terima Kasih,

“We'll Be Back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

Celebrated our 21st Wedding Anniversary at the Pantai Inn for two nights.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is perfect here. The Inn, The staff, The location... all perfection.

When the word finally gets out about this gem it will probably be tough to get a reservation. Hope there will be room for us again. Thank You! Thank You!

“Lovely stay at the Pantai”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

We stayed for 4 nights at the Pantai during our honeymoon. The location is fantastic, literally 30 seconds from the sea and a few minutes walk to the centre of La Jolla. We had a one bedroom apartment with partial view - the rooms were very well appointed and spacious and kept immaculately clean by the staff. You have the option of breakfast on the terrace or in your room which was nice. Everything had been carefully chosen and the staff were really helpful. We would definitely return again in the future.

“Can't wait to return! 10 stars!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

We just returned from 4 nights in a 2 bedroom suite, number 201. Now I have stayed at great places all over the county and a few in other countries, but this is by far the best of everything. No expense was spared in turning this oceanfront oasis into a luxury destination with the highest quality everything! Large LED televisions 3 total, gas range and high end appliances in the kitchen. The bathroom has a rain shower and totally clean. The carpets are so clean that you can walk barefoot without any concern. The turndown service includes free Eclipse chocolate bars that sell for $4 a piece and are the best chocolates you have ever had. My kids wanted extra bars and they were given them, they were so happy with that. The breakfast had quality food, almond milk, fruit, organic coffee and tea, the best muffins and pastries you could imagine as well as bagels and cream cheese. The staff is what sets this place over the edge, you feel important here, and they go out of their way to make you feel important. This was paradise, stay here, spend he extra money you will be glad you did! The beds are so wonderful, feels like your sleeping on air. This is what every hotel should be like. The pics are great but don't do it justice.

Room Tip: Room 201 was awesome, we had 5 people in there and there was so much space.
