Clean & nice :)
I booked 3 rooms. 1 of the room, the aircon not so cool. Others, are good! It's so relaxing & good place for stay.
The trip to the hotel was quite...
The trip to the hotel was quite long, advised it would take 2 hrs but infact it took 4 hrs!
Check in was fast and efficient but when asked for a map, any info on activities in hotel or out there was non except for two laminated maps but unable to take and browse through, as you would (and not much in them anyway)
Beautiful gardens, got lift to cottage in a oversized golf cart which was nice.
Room was nice but basic, no coffee/tea facility, no hotel info to check out. Advertised satelite tv but only got CNN, when we complained we suddenly got one movie channel. Why.... do you ask would we want tv anyway?.....well, there was nothing else entertainment wise.
Advertised 4 restaurants but they only had 1 + pool bar who's menu doesn't differ. No were to get snacks like crisps, nuts, ice creams etc.
The restaurant Starlight next door was the only one worth going to. Lovely food, lots of choice, the staff incredibly nice. I had my birthday while there and the Starlight staff had flowers on our table and had a surprise cake for me (my husband let them in on the secret). They have a 3 man band playing guitar, drum and a lovely singer.
On 2nd day there we went for a walk into the town but after about 15 mins walking through unbelivable mounds of rubbish we turned back and didn't venture out again.
The beach is practically non-existant and dirty, can't go for beach walks, cant sit on the beach for the local sellers doing their utmost to sell their wares.
We went on a dolphin trip but be prepared for 60+ other boats going at the same time so, enjoy the boat trip and watching the sunrise as you will be lucky to see any dolphins for all the boats blocking your view of them.
The other trip is snorkelling, we did that twice and was very, very nice. In places very shallow so was able to see lots while just floating.
Arranging a sightseeing trip with the hotel was worth it to see waterfall, swim in hot springs, visit temple on the lake, monkey forest (just a group of monkeys on the roadside), stopping at rice fields etc. but make sure you get a car with a/c, whose doors open and windows shut properly, thankfully we noticed all these things before we set off!!!
footnote.......
We are temporarily living in Jakarta and previously 3 years in Sri Lanka doing charity work so we are used to the asian life and asian ways including putting up with a certain amount of rubbish but Lovina streets were we where was awful to say the least!
I would not advise anyone to go to this hotel unless it's for one overnight stay en route to somewhere else.

Hotel was located about 10km from Singaraja town and an issue to go into town to view some of the interesting locations there. Walking to Singaraja would easily be looking at 3 hours of walk.
Do not go during the high season, tends to be over-booked nad may have to move to another hotel of the same group. The swimming pool becomes congested
Breakfast fare did not vary during the 4 nights' stay. Do not eat at the restaurant for dinner, try the Starlight next to this hotel. Access is walking beyond the swimming pool onto the beach, through the metal gate and turn right. Alternatively Warung Lina by heading towards the hotel driveway turn right once it meets the road, walk along the pavement. It is located on the right hand side.
On the way to this Warung, look out for the Indomart on the opposite side. You can get your essential groceries there.

We were delighted with Lovina which is cooler than the south, not so touristy and has many interesting and beautiful attractions. The Anika Lovina Villas are set in beautifully maintained gardens and benefit from the breeze which comes in each day in the early afternoon. The staff were sweet, friendly and always helpful. They provided free transport into the town centre ( a small tip was always appreciated). The rooms were kept clean and we had new, up to the minute, bathrooms. The pool area is most attractive. My only complaint, for which we could hardly blame the hotel, was that one could not enjoy a stroll along the adjoining beach without being relentlessly pursued by hawkers. I would recommend this hotel as very good value.

This hotel was the travel pick of the whole itinerary. I chose it off the internet out of the blue and was pleasantly surprised at the professional presentation of the place for the small cost of the booking. The food at breakfast was first rate and the amenities perfect. Try the apple pancake with raisins- culinary perfection! The staff were relaxed and courteous and we took a great trip into the mountains to Munduk from here to experience the clove,cocoa and coffee plantations. Aneka Lovina as a resort surpassed expectations, unlike many others on the trip.

Overall good, the room is big and beautiful but the bath is old. Breakfast sufficient but good. The pool not fantastic but big and with deck, pool towel and pool bar.
20 min. to Lovina center.
Nothing wrong but not a dream place.

Dear Aneka,
We've stayed in the hotel on 28th -30th July.
Apart from the toilet being abit dirty and old, the lights going on and off and we didnt really enjoy the food that we've ordered. Maybe , before any check in's, there should be a walk-through to every room to avoid complaints and also include hair dryers as well.
Howevever, despite all that, we really enjoyed our stay in your hotel! The choice for the area is great! Lovely Sceneries and also staffs like the people in the restaurant and also the driver who came to our rescue when we had heavy bags! If only we know their names for recognition.
It's been a pleasure to stay in your hotel and we will come back for sure!
With Love,
Fahmy & Nisa of Singapore

The overall stay was lovely.
Hotel is located in a quiet area and has a direct access to the beach, from where you can go to see dolphins. It is very special experience.
Swimmingpool is very nice as well as food in a restaurant. There is everything what you need to enjoy your holiday.
I hardly recommend this place!
