"This is my favorite hotel in Bali, by far. The staff is SO nice, they do everything to make your stay as perfect as possible. The food is excellent, the rooms are spacious and the activities are numerous. The surf teachers are the BEST, I've never felt so good at surfing because of them. I recommend 100%"

- Béatrice, Nov 2022

"Its my first time as a solo traveler and I only read good things about the camp in the internet. For my first solo trip a wanted to get in touch with people, learn how to surf and do Yoga. Everything was completely fulfilled. Staff was amazing, friendly and welcoming, just felt like coming home. Community is nice and all the people I met there were open and friendly. Surf lessons and instructors are very good (I am a beginner). As well Yoga was great. Facility is quite and rooms are clean and sweet (stayed in a private room). Barbecue on Saturday was rich and afterwards they go out all together for party. Really enjoyed my stay here and will come back as it feels like a good Community and little Family. Thank you for making my first solo travel so easy :)"

"I had a great experience! I stayed for 6 days/5 nights. The retreat village was beautiful and I loved my room (Merapi room). The location was super close to Canggu and everything you need. They have motorbikes on property you can use (free of charge). The staff was absolutely incredible and took great care of everyone there. You can order food on property and it was very reasonably priced. We had daily surf lessons and had a lot of fun. The surf instructors were great."
