Welcome to my review of the Ceningan Divers Resort - Nusa Ceningan

Ceningan Resort is a well known multi-award winning divers resort in Bali. It is located on one of the 3 Nusa Islands, Nusa Ceningan Island, just 500 meters from the Yellow bridge near the pristine mangroves. This PADI 5star dive center and eco-friendly resort has won numerous awards including ‘Dive Resort of the Year’ and voted as the 3rd Best Dive Resort in the world in 2018.

Ceningan Resort is a small hotel with 8 fully equipped thatched roof bungalows, an outdoor pool, a restaurant, a bar/lounge and free wi-fi throughout the property. The resort offers guided dives and PADI courses of all levels, including snorkeling trips in world-class dive sites in the protected areas of Nusa Penida. It scores really well for its dive center and water sports activities, and is very popular among divers, and couples.

Rooms

The rooms are wooden, thatched roof bungalows are equipped with a bed, air conditioning, an outdoor private open bathroom with hot shower, and a balcony overlooking the gardens with a hammock. Because the hotel is situated in pure nature, there are quite some insects around, however the hotel provides a mosquito net, which is a bonus, even though there were no mosquitoes.

The beds were nice and comfortable, and were cleaned regularly. The staff was also very nice and professional.

I was a bit hesitant about having an outside bathroom, however they turned out to be quite private and clean.

Hotel Inside

Ceningan Resort, which is owned and managed by a couple, is Eco-friendly and adheres to regulations such as no water from bottles, forbids use of sun protection which destroys corals among, and many more.

It has an outdoor pool area with pool beds and a bar/lounge where you can have drinks and have your meals

The resort also has a restaurant that serves a variety of fresh western and asian dishes. However, I found the food to be very basic and not to my taste.

Hotel Outside

What i loved most about the hotel is the dive center. The instructors were really nice and professional and the resort had its own boat for scuba dives directly from the hotel, which is quite cool actually. The boat was modern and really good too, quite impressive..

Pros

Great dive center. Environmental friendly. Good accommodation. Great staff

Cons

Outside bathroom may be a negative point for some people

Hotel could be more guest friendly
