Delicious Beachside Dining

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at the resort's restaurant. Every meal, from breakfast to dinner, was a culinary delight. I particularly enjoyed the pizza – it was perfect! Dining on the beach, with my feet in the sand and the sound of waves in the background, was a wonderful experience. The service was friendly and accommodating, which made our meals even more special. Highly recommend trying their seafood options as well!

Charming Pool Villa

I stayed in a beautiful Garden View Room and loved every aspect of it. The spacious room had excellent air conditioning, and I adored the unique outdoor shower, allowing me to connect with nature. The attention to detail was really good, from the cleanliness to the amenities provided. Each evening, I returned to find my bed turned down and a bottle of water waiting by my bedside. It felt like a luxury experience!

Relaxing Oasis

Pondok Santi is truly a tranquil oasis. The resort offers relaxing hammocks and canopies right by the crystal-clear water. I spent my afternoons lounging in the sun and even went snorkeling a few times right off the shore to see beautiful turtles. The ambiance here is serene and perfect for anyone looking to unwind and escape the busyness of island life.

Unique Outdoor Bathroom

One of the standout features of my room was the outdoor bathroom. It was beautifully designed, lush with greenery, and gave a refreshing, natural vibe. Taking a shower surrounded by nature was a unique experience that I won't forget. The facilities were clean, and everything was well-maintained, making it a highlight of my stay.
