Arya Amed Beach Resort and Dive Center

This used to be excellent. The location is great, the staff are friendly and the rooms are comfy. But it desperately needs an on site manager. There is black mould everywhere. There are patches of mould in all rooms, not always easily discernible. Dogs run around on the premises, sometimes at night.

Bad service experience and not even got a chance to spend a night there since they have bad coordination with the OTA. Booked and paid the rooms for two nights. Just a day before, they cancelled our book! Annoying! All of our plans for the trips had to be changed and ESPECIALLY WE HAD TO CANCEL THE DIVES that I have been waiting for months! NEXT, always UPDATE your room availabilities and COORDINATE well with the OTAs so it won’t cost any other costumers with BAD SERVICE experience. 👎

We just had an amazing lunch here. Were just walking past and invited to have a swim as well. The staff so nice and helpful. Highly recommend for lunch or even a stay. A special thank you to Wayan, Iluh & Ibu Wayan at reception today who helped us with our needs and wants.

Spent 3 days researching locations for this long awaited adventure to Bali. Landed on starting in Amed to dive the USS Liberty Shipwreck and this location was listed as being on the beach, pics looked nice and it advertised as being connected to a Dive Shop. Which it once was, and may be again but wasn't at the time. They were great about helping arrange tours and I'd already made plans with the Dive Shop that was listed as being at the resort... but was a couple miles away. Their restaurant had a good selection of local meals and was also at the beach. Breakfast being included made an easy start to the day. Nice little town, good spot to tour Mt. Agung and drive to hike to Yeh Mempeh Waterfall. Tons of Dive Shops and small interesting places to eat and shop. Much less expensive than anyplace we went to next. And we left from here to experience Temples and nature of Ubed on our way to Canggu in the south. Only warnings would be the nail in the swimming pool that the know is sticking out, that they use to attach a light underwater and to be sure any driver you, or they, arrange really speaks English. We ended up doing a 2 mile hike uphill without water because the driver pointed to a Temple just at the road, and when asked said "it's right there" when it was miles uphill! We also drove to a completely different Temple than the one we wanted. All avoidable with better communication.

We have stayed here innumerable times as this is a comfortable, well designed complex with a lovely pool area. The staff are friendly, obliging and always helpful. However, since COVID, the Manager has not been replaced and it desperately needs one to return it to its previous high standard. The standard of the food can be variable. The walls surrounding the complex are covered in mould as are some of the outdoor showers of the bungalows. The staff are too busy to notice these things that might need affect tourists. We will definitely be back but please try to find another Manager, even if part time.

Great place to stay in Amed, lovely spacious rooms very clean and tidy. Very welcoming staff always friendly and polite. Nice swimming pool which over looks the beach. Great restaurant serving good food.
