My trip to Pantai Inn was like a little slice of heaven. The location right across from the ocean was unbeatable, and I loved the Balinese decor throughout the hotel. While the room could have used a bit of TLC and the water pressure in the shower was lower than ideal, the stunning views and friendly staff more than made up for it. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and can't wait to return.
