We love Hotel Diuwak! Great location in such a cute and friendly town. Feels very private, yet it's just a short walk to nice restaurants and shops and steps to the beach. Rooms are clean, air conditioning and water works well, the pool is lovely, breakfast is plentiful and delicious. This was our 2nd time staying there, and we'll be back.

We stayed for the first time, and were very pleasantly surprised by the grounds and the pool area. The staff were all lovely and helpful. We especially connected with Ronald, his family and the staff who run the restaurant, they really took care of us. Thank you for everything. We will definitely be staying again.
