Ocean Villa Dive Resort - Tulamben

Just spent a fabulous week at the Ocean villa Dive resort snorkelling and diving around Tulamben. Their dive shop is excellent, and their instructor Steve was able to get me current again after a 12-year break from diving. Diving the nearby Boga wreck, Steve’s special dusk to night dive of the Liberty Wreck (we did it 3 times) and diving from a local outrigger boat and swimming back to shore were all great highlights. The resort was clean, comfortable, and the staff made us feel very welcome. As well as breakfast we ate one meal every day at the restaurant. They have their own pizza oven. The location is just behind the town and surrounded by farms. However, it is just a five-minute walk around the corner to the local Indomaret shop and restaurants in town. A ten-minute walk straight down to the beach takes you to the entry point for the stern of the Liberty Wreck. Thank you to Komang, Steve and all the staff for making our stay great and Andrew says thank you for making him a pineapple pizza.

Amazing place, the staff is extra helpful and kind, the owner was always making sure we were comfortable and trying to suggest nice things for us to do, and not things she sold, just honest advice. She has also built an wonderful garden. Steven, the divemaster took us in amazing dives that looked almost like we were alone, with his experience he managed to keep us away from the crowds. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Thank God, finally a dry room without mold. I give full points because this accommodation is really worth it. Rooms perfectly clean and tidy. Amazing staff, very helpful, food very good and solid prices. They will arrange transportation for you from anywhere on the island, I really appreciate it and at a good price. Gojek or Grab does not work in this location. When leaving for the ferry, a very willing and cool young man drove us, he stopped for us to take pictures at the rice fields and wherever we wanted, and finally I tasted Durian, thanks :D. You really don't feel like you're being ripped off here. I was happy to leave them here and I don't regret it. Finally, they also have a pleasant diving instructor from the UK. I highly recommend this accommodation.

We had a very clean, large family room. The room opened onto the pool area and there was indeed a view of the ocean in the distance. The guest house is off the main road so nice and peaceful. Staff were really friendly and although we were only there one night, and weren't diving, just snorkeling, they advised us very helpfully as to where and when to snorkel and offered us a lift with the divers! There's also some beautiful, very friendly, pet dogs about the place!

We loved everything about our 8 night stay. We are digital nomads and the staff took such good care of us and catered for all our needs. Super friendly in any way. The owner is a true gem and included us in an amazing Bali celebration. She gave us traditional clothes and explained about the culture. What an unique experience. Also the dive shop was a great choice. Prices are highly competitive and the Divemasters are great. We enjoyed every minute of our dives and the whole process. We rented a scooter from the hotel and also enjoyed the restaurant. Rooms are tidy/spacious and the king bed was super comfy.
