Garuda Hostel & Accomodation Nusa Penida

Resort

Highly recommend this company if you are looking to do a dive on Nusa Penida. I did a fun dive with them for my first time ever and we got to see manta rays and many other beautiful sea life and coral. The staff was also very friendly and the instructor made us feel very safe!

We did a fun dive for our first time diving and it was INCREDIBLE! Highly recommend, we saw manta rays! Our dive instructor did a great job of keeping us calm and showing us amazing wild life! Thank you!

Really friendly people and amazing diving with super team Whatever you want to see, the team will arrange it. Highly recommend. Jana and Vojta.

The best dive center in Nusa Penida!

Pretty disappointed by snorkeling tour. We saw nearly nothing and I know it can happen that mantas or turtles wont appears, but it would help if guide give more time. Instead of 3 hour tour we get just maybe 1h 45min, maybe bit less. It wasnt the cheapest tour we found, so I was hoping in something better. You can find same snorkeling for free on your own. I could not recommend.

Professional service… Good luck always, ☺️

Very happy with Penida Dive Resort services. They really took care of us when snorkeling. We saw many Manta Ray. 100% would recommend it. Best, Toya.

Intro dive was very fun. Highly recommend. Very informative and safe while enjoying the best diving that Bali has to offer.

Nice place to stay. Breakfast included, was really good. Beds were confortable. You can keep tabs of what you drink or eat from the place and pay at the end. It was nice to know that they take credit cards. Some rooms smelled weird and not all of them had AC. But overall was good experience.

Average hotel, but it's not very expensive and one of the only close to the harbor.

The room was very dirty. The food is OK, there is equipment and organization of snorkeling and diving.

Very friendly and helpful staff, clean and well furnished accommodation. Sometimes a few ants in the room and a little bit mold in the bathroom but that's common in the most accommodations at these islands. You get what you pay for. Great location, close to the beach and many warung's. Highly reccommended!

Good prices, close to boat station.

5 stars for the hospitality, the location and the dive! The staff was great! Thank you so much guys for being so kind, welcoming and helpfull. The dive was an amazing experience for my family and myself. Wish you all the best!

We just went here to dine during our day tour in the island. They served big meals. I love the turon and nasi goreng. They also have some western dishes in the menu.

Very friendly staff with lots of great diving stories. Rented a scooter and went exploring the island. When we went snorkeling, saw Manta Rays, divers have seen Mola Mola's too :)

Food is ok the staff very nice and diving staff amazing b.

If you are a diver or snorkel diver and looking for some nice place on Nusa Penida, this is perfect place for you. Diving personal is very friendly and will help you with equipment. The diving sites are very beautiful, and you have a big chance of seeing huge Manta or Mola Mola. Food is pretty nice, you can eat Indonesian food or Czech food (because local place is favoured by Czech people). The weaker part is accomodation. Rooms are small with lack of storage place, and toilets are horrible, though working. Personal is very kind and keep the resort clean. If you take a look around the area, you soon find out that resort is the best place to be in. You will soon find out that the place looks like a dump, and there are many trash and broken buildings around. Sometimes you can even smell how local people burn the rubbish. Better places and beaches are pretty far so you have to hire a driver or rent a motor bike.

Staff was friendly and helped as much as they could, But be careful if you booked it through Airbnb! The pictures are not representative at all! I slept in a room full of Insects, My friend's bathroom was broken and looked like an old camping one. Don't expect much of this hotel.

Cozy place. Good for diving safaris around the islands.

0 stars for the dive staff!
5 stars for local staff! I was the last instructor in penida dive resort and I have to say that this is the worste place ever where I have been working. I got the job offer by internet and as soon as I get there I realised how unprofesional place it was. They didn't have any gear in a good conditions, they doesn't make customerd signe any paperwork wich while I work there I make sure they did! (liability release, medical statment, safe diving practice etc) at any time and when I ask to the boss monika about it she didn't have any clue what was it. No books to teach, no organization at all and on top of that really unfriendly people.
While working in this resort we get divers complaining about online customer service. If you have the chance to get a reply to your email, most of the time you will have surprised wene you will get on place, like nothing organized, no boat, no dive guide, because they not even aviable to know if you are a diver or not because no one ask it by an email. So if you are a diver do not dive there! On the other side "no related on diving" is a good place to speend some days. The local staff, Siti, Arafat, kadec. Dec ti, Ayu, Iram, Lisa etc make you have a good times. Do friendly, polite, profesionals and people you will feel part of the familly. The food on the restaurant, local or western can't be better with really economic prices. The room are simple but confortable with toilet, fan or AC for good price too.

Pleasant place, perfect service.
