"Best Place we have ever stayed in Bali. We have been travelling to Bali for over 40 years. Restaurant is excellent as previously reviewed as the best Restaurant in the area. Lots of helpful staff there to make your stay great. The Dafish Ceningan in our opinion is currently the best bang for buck in the area. We booked a Superior Chalet, Garden Area which was picturesque with the beach and surf close at hand."

"If you are looking for an affordable break this spot meets the mark. The positives, clean room, great air conditioning, pleasant staff. The downsides, outdoor shower not great, the pool area is tired. "

I chose it for its quirkiness and proximity to the Monkey Forest. The many interactions with monkeys may not be for everyone but it made my stay. You have to remember you can’t eat in your balcony or in my case drink black tea because you will get mugged. The pool is small but adequate for cooling off. They are replacing the bungalow’s roofs which is noisy but should be over soon. In reception there is water cooler to refill your water bottle which was big plus for me

My wife,son and I stayed with the Dafish family for 3 nights and can not speak highly enough of our experience. Made, Cadek, Sentana and the crew looked after our every wish from amazing snorkeling and basically anytime transport around the island to freshly cooked food and (too many) cocktails! Dafish is like a mini 5 star resort but with a real family feel and a seiously wow location.

we stayed for 2 weeks and was very enjoyable . the staff was excellent. the rooms were clean.
the pool area was good, but is lacking a bar but they do have places where you press a button and someone will come and take your drink/food order.
they have pool towels that you need to sign in and out.
breakfast.. there’s always seats, not overcrowded . food was good but limited, only a couple things change each day. if you don’t go to have breakfast they will ring you to make sure you don’t...

This was a really lovely property. Beautiful atmosphere, new and well designed accommodation. Very relaxing and a short walk to sunset views and Mahana Point. Would absolutely stay there again and we are fussy. ;)

surrounded by dive centre,so if you are joining one of them, it is very convenient to wake up and walk down.
I think there is a yoga centre as well , as I saw many ppl stay here are for yoga classes.
I haven't use the pool, as I had dive all day. it is very clean.
a plus : if you take later boat to go back Bali, they let you use the public toilet to have a shower, which is very nice if you want to do water activity in the very late day.
I can walk to the boat port,so it is up to you to take...

Location was great with numerous restaurants close by along with a mini mart over the road. Staff were fantastic, helpful and friendly. Rooms well appointed and clean. Pay extra for the pool access rooms, much more convenient.

Such a beautiful place to stay in Nusa Penida. Really nice food nearby at Sea Tara and really easy to get taxis to other restaurants as well. Ramesh was an amazing host and helped us arrange bikes and taught us how to ride them. Would really recommend.

Friendly staff that are happy to assist you in any way possible. The resort itself is out of the built-up areas, but a short drive to Crystal Bay and Tojapakeh. I wasn't confident to hire a scooter due to lack of personal experience and the narrow roads, but they are available. Staff assisted me with drivers when I wanted to explore the island with no fuss. Room was comfortable and clean.
