The room as well as the facilities were very beautiful. The staff was very kind and the location was great when you had a scooter!

I’ve traveled to over 50 countries and stayed in hundreds of hostels, and Rama stands out as the best host I’ve ever met. I extended my stay simply because he made me feel at home from day one. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to. The energy here is unique—you see it in the guests: open, kind, and genuinely vibrant. I’m already looking forward to returning.

Al Mare feels like a little oasis from the moment you arrive. The deck is perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, or just relaxing. The staff are super friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The room was comfy and well equipped, with a quiet, effective AC. The shared deck has plenty of spots to either meet people or chill in private. Everything was clean, cozy and the bed was seriously comfortable.

Loved our stay here, so much so, we extended! Ferry is an incredible host..so attentive and helpful. The breakfasts were fantastic, the room was so comfortable, great facilities (fast WiFi, kitchen to cook , areas to sit and hang out), a fantastic location and overall a perfect little stay. Ferry also arranged a fantastic snorkeling tour for us, making sure he had an appropriate lifejacket for our little one. Same with a helmet and a moped. He can answer any questions and is also on call to help with anything you need. We're already looking forward to visit again.

The host Ferry was amazing. Great location and easy booking for trips. Breakfast was delicious and so many places to eat nearby. There is also an outdoor chill out area that meant you could relax on bean bags.

Perfect location (close to fish market, restaurants, port for snorkling, and walking distance to ferry). The decoration and aura of the place is very nice : bottom common room and top terrace. Very good vibe ! Dormitory beds are pretty confy with privacy, and closed lockers. AC in the room (very welcome !). Stylish large bathrooms. Staff very reactive on whatsapp and helpful.

Amazing owners and managers who go out of their way to make you at home. Would recommend the bungalow for those who want a more private stay in a great location, close to pantai Bobby and the port town. Snorkelled through Big K and had a great stay - my second time visiting and couldn't recommend enough.
