overview
Rambutan is a small owner-run hotel set back in gardens about a three-minute walk from Lovina Beach on Bali's north coast. It is a boutique property rather than a resort, rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom, mini-bar, fridge and garden views, and family rooms are available, which makes it a practical option for people travelling with children.
Facilities are better than the size of the place suggests: a year-round outdoor pool, a spa, a fitness centre, and a terrace and garden seating area, with free Wi-Fi throughout. The restaurant is unusually wide-ranging for northern Bali, covering Indonesian and Asian cooking alongside Dutch, British, Italian and American dishes and pizza; breakfast is continental or à la carte, with pancakes and fruit.
Lovina is a relaxed, low-cost stretch of black-sand coast, best known for early-morning dolphin trips, and this is a comfortable, well-kept base for it. The airport is roughly 90 km away, so it is a long transfer from the south.

our review
Owner-run, three minutes from Lovina Beach, and better equipped than a hotel this size has any need to be: a year-round pool, a spa and a fitness centre.
Rooms are air-conditioned with a fridge, a mini-bar and garden views, and family rooms are available, which is not a given at boutique properties. The restaurant menu is wide-ranging. Lovina itself is the quiet north coast: dark sand, calm water, dolphin boats before dawn, and a long drive from the airport. An 8.7 from 411 guests is strong for the area. We think this is the pick if you want a small place rather than a resort.
