Reviews for Shankari's Bali Retreat
Review 1:Hotel is located far from beach on the road. To get beach you need to go through village where a lot of gods try to eat you. Hotel room is mostly open - open roof and one wall. So it's very colse to nature. The are a lot of animals in the room - mosquitoes, big ants and geckos. Breakfast provided by the hotel consists of 1 plain toast and tea. During our stay we were the only guests and it was scared to stay alone in this big hotel at night.
Review 2:They don't serve beer! The road to the beach is a bit dirty and a challenge on flip flops, especially at night.
Review 3:great food, nice staff, nice location close to the beach. Balian itself is really nice. Surfing is great, beginners should start early in the morning.
Review 4:The rooms are very open as they are made from bamboo and the mix of road noise and animals hindered our sleep. It's on a main road. There is not much going on at Shankaris and a car is essential to get to the beach.
Review 5:The rooms are very cute and decorated in a traditional Balinese style. The breakfast is AMAZING, best I've had in Bali.
Review 6:Mosquitos and ants Pools were difficult to access either no or steepsteps. Needed a lot of money spending on it. Slippery tiles around pool.Broken mosaic work While I knew it was a yoga style retreat I did notexpect it to be a no alcohol vegetarian hotel. Both nights I stayedthere was only one other room let. Different people each night.
Review 7:On first arrival an amazing room. No air con but huge outdoor bathroomand beautiful day beds Staff and family owners Shop selling gifts andamazing silver filigree work. Great Massages hurt like hell but workedamazingly easy access to beach and a great beach bar and restaurant Foodwas very good in hotel restauarant.
Review 8:We loved the many terraces and meandering tiled paths, the pools and the unique tiling in our room. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We also loved the restaurant area and the food was great.
Review 9:Unfortunately.. The sound of the traffic you can hear a little from the top pool area.. Although the beauty and serenity and Zen of the joint.. Nulls it away quick quickly ;)
Review 10:Shankari Yoga Retreat is a very special place in Balian ;) Loved the size, decor & location of the Egyptian lotus room amongst the beautiful tropical rainforest garden! Daily yoga is amazing with Nicky - a must for all guests! Brekky included is off the hook - An ample serving of the most gorgeous toasted coconut, fresh tropical fruit and yoghurt combo which really starts off your day after a good hard yoga sesh! It is comemented with toast, ginger tea and Balinese coffee! Superb! Wayan the front desk manager and the rest of the staff are soooo lovely! They Really go that extra mile to make you feel at home! Thank you ;) The Retreat is a short stroll from Balian Beach and to the beautiful night food markets through a back lane way which makes it quite central and easy to get around! The pools and monkey huts around the hotel are fantastic to relax in throughout any time of day! Free Wifi at the hotel is fast and available at the front reception and first monkey hut ;) The massage team at the hotel are friendly and fantastic.. If you are special enough.. Like we were ;)) you even get fresh baked traditional Indonesian cakes made for you ;)) Shankari is A real gem find of a retreat in Balian! I highly recommend this place to all who are looking for that perfect Zen place and for those who wanna get into and practice their Yoga whether a beginner or experienced! My friend and I will definitely recommend this place to everyone and anyone and will definitely be back to visit when in Bali! Loved it loved it loved it especially the Yoga!! A must with Nicky! Thank you Shankari ;)
Review 11:Food was a wee bit more pricey than at other places we stayed but was cooked very well and the wait staff was great. It also is a resort so I guess that's expected.
Review 12:Front staff very friendly and helpful. Staff in the kitchen very kind and helpful and the food was good. Nice clean facilities. Rooms very nice, clean and equipped with mosquito net. Pool was clean. Can rent motorbike and transport from the hotel. Breakfast was included. Good walking distance to beach and to small convenience stores.

Review 18:The Shankari is a beautiful hotel, unfortunately is located next to a very busy and noisy road. No real safe is available. So one should watch his/her valuable.
Review 19:The staff was very friendly, ready to help.
Review 20:Ask for a room away from reception as traffic noise at night is quite annoying for some.
Review 21:My Girlfriend and I stayed at Shankari's Yoga retreat for two nights whilst holidaying in Bali for two weeks. We were after Yoga, healthy food and comfort. The retreat ticked all the boxes and we were delighted! Our rooms were gorgeous, the fresh juices and food awesome and the Yoga class top class. Nicky the instructor starts the class with relaxation (the hardest practice of all) and cleansed us with the sound from 2 magnificent crystal bowls. He is an excellent teacher and each class was varied and easy to follow. We would definitely recommend this place and will be back for longer next time. The staff were wonderful and very eager to help with any request. Also Wayan's massage was brilliant on our first night. Thankyou :-)
