Darmada Eco Resort

I am exploring Bali with my daughter, ent to different places like Nusa Penida, Ubud, Ulowatu, but Sidemen really catched my heart. The resort is so peacefull, location at the river is perfect and rooms are pretty....Already first welcome made me feel like in paradise. Such a nice people, helfpul, always ready to help. Food is delicious and swimmng pool is really pretty. For those who like privacy, quite area, authenticity, I can strongly recommend this resort, as well as the entire area. For me it was the most amazing part. The only mistake we made was not to stay longer....

What a gem of a place! A magical spot to drop into nature, do yoga, read, rest in a hammock on a porch by a flowing stream in the most gorgeous cottage. It was even more beautiful than I imagined. The staff were so kind, the landscape so lush, the food delicious, it was hard to do anything else but just be there. I can't wait to come back!

Very special experience. I’m not the biggest fan of bugs, but it really wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated at all. I stayed in a deluxe room which was nice, the cocoa plants were above the outside shower, but there was no airconditioning and I really did miss that. I get why it isnt there, because the cottages are partly open. I was fanatic about closing the musquito net ;) And that helped, because no bugs entered the bed. But there were quite a lot of large ants in the outside bathroom. Just so you know. The location was very beautiful. The pool was amazing, you can just feel it is spring water. The restaurant was very convenient to have on premise, the food choice wasnt too big but it was tasty enough. The staff was super nice, they truly went above and beyond. My driver cancelled on me last minute and within half an hour they arranged a new one. I really liked the massage I booked as well, although the spa area wasnt as ‘spa-y’ as some other locations are. It was simple, but it worked. The main reason I booked was the proximity of the river. Although it was a small stream (probably due to the season I was here) with some plastic here and there, it felt really healing to just sit by the river and collect your thoughts. Next time, I personally would prefer a room with airconditioning, but I loved the experience and dont regret a thing. Beautiful experience!
