A little noisy during the night with bikes and dogs/cockerels- however we soon acclimatised and enjoyed the experience

Location right on the beach with snorkelling reef access

We stayed in the family room with elevated sleeping area for our adult son and daughter. It was a beautiful cottage with a fantastic stone outdoor bathroom. We snorkelled off the beach out front of the hotel. The swimming pool and garden were also gorgeous

The upstairs room is hot, despite the aircon.

The hotel was small and quiet, with lovely gardens. The staff were very friendly and the food was very good. The snorkeling from the beach was excellent and we saw a lot of beautiful fish and corals. The bungalow was tastefully decorated.

We couldn’t fault it.

The food at the hotel was amazing! We ate breakfast lunch and dinner there because it was just so good. Probably the best grilled Mahi Mahi I have ever tasted. Also location couldn’t be better, a little out of town which made it quiet, the sandy beach right out front where you could go snorkeling was crystal clear.

The roosters at 4am! But the hotel provides earplugs! A bit expensive for the area.

Little haven in a lovely authentic fishing village. Location on the beach. Beautiful gardens and cottages. Delicious breakfast. Great swimming pool.

Because the hotel is small, and large group occupied the entire pool area. Not the hotel's fault, but something to be aware of.

I loved the ocean view cottage and hearing the sounds of the waves in addition to the excellent snorkeling right off the beach. The cottage was comfortable, and the grounds were lovely. Staff were excellent, helpful, and professional. Really a great stay!

Not directly at Lipah Beach, but at a quiet local beach with a wonderful reef for snorkeling and mostly local people, so this is only negative if you want many Restaurants around.

Food, staff, garden, beach, rooms....everything ;)

From the moment we arrived we felt this was a special place, the attention to detail in every way was exceptional. Thank you Sarah and your staff.

The bed was super cozy. Access to the beach was really nice. There are fishing boats just outside the door coming back from gathering fish in the mornings. It’s really a beautiful site to see. The food was exceptional and fresh. The entire staff keeps you feeling right at home. Including in room dining if you want. Also close to Japanese ship wreck for snorkeling and diving!!!

We were very happy to stay here.

It really was right on the beach.

It was very peaceful, in a lovely village, close to water for swimming & snorkeling, very helpful staff. Rooms had on tap filtered water.

It was not the hotel's fault that there was a party going on at the next house several times during our stay and the music was louder, and it is typical of the karaoke genre that drunk people think they can sing.

The less touristy location is in Amed. If you are not looking for hustle and bustle it is perfect. There are only few hotels in the area where you can walk directly into the sea (except between 7 and 8 in the morning when the fishermen arrive). Great food in the restaurant! Flexible and helpful staff, the pool and surrounding area is kept clean at all times. The atmosphere is family friendly. No need to buy drinking water from the shop, as they have giant balloons in the rooms and will change it without a word if needed. There is also a small gift shop where we found jewellery and souvenirs at reasonable prices.

The beach facing family villa suited us perfectly. The restaurant is excellent, and the resort is well located for snorkelling and other activities.

Walking into Life in Amed, is like walking into paradise. The garden and pool area is picturesque. The property and gardens are well maintained. We stayed in a cottage and then moved to a 2 bedroom villa. The cottage is clean and cosy, with pool views. I love the villa, it is so spacious and beautifully presented. It has ocean views and a private garden. The staff are friendly and helpful. We dined at the restaurant on several occasions. The food is delicious and healthy. I love the 2 friendly house cats. There is an amazing spot to snorkel, from the beach near the hotel. My husband and I were surprised by the amount of coral and marine life at this location. It is spectacular, with very few people snorkelling. I noticed a sign at Lipah Beach which read "the best snorkelling spot", I'd have to disagree. The best snorkelling spot is near Life in Amed, by far!

Super friendly staff helped us to make our vacation exceptional. Wonderful open house - First time as family of 5 from Germany in Amed and we enjoyed every minute. From the morning with the fishermen up to dinner.

Excellent location and stunning gardens

Stayed in October 2024

No real beach, but that's the area. No kettle or fridge in the room. Bed was a little hard for us.

Great location, calm but plenty close by on a scooter. Rooms were very big, with a nice seating area outside. Breakfast offered lots of choices. Loved the outside shower. Big FAT cat at reception. Lots of care maintaining and looking after the resort.

The location is a little out of the way if you don’t want to eat at the onsite restaurant. There are a couple of warungs nearby. We liked Mad Made’s. Lipah beach has more options and is only a 10-15min walk or 5mins in a scooter.

The villas are exquisite. We loved everything about them. We stayed in a 2 bed villa which was right on the beach. Was great to watch the fishermen come in each morning. It’s a really chilled out space and I would return in a heartbeat. The Breakfast options were delicious and the choice more than adequate to satisfy a few days. Would highly recommend.

The location is not on Amed Beach, it’s about 15 minutes away by car - the road is small and bumpy. We were right by the beach and were woken by cockerels/ roosters making a lot of noise early in the morning (4.45am!). Bathroom is a little old, needs updating.

We had the two bedroom villa right by the beach with our small baby. It was lovely. The pool is very nice. We really enjoyed the food in the restaurant, good options for lunch & dinner. Included breakfast was good. Staff were all very friendly and responsive.
