Green Coco Suite

Green Coco Suite is a small hotel in Sakti, on Nusa Penida, with the useful combination of a garden, an infinity pool and a restaurant on site. It suits you if you want to keep the day simple: breakfast, a swim, an excursion, then somewhere to eat without setting off again in search of dinner.

The atmosphere is more straightforward than showy. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, parking is available, and the property can help with excursions and ticketing. The garden and terrace give you somewhere to sit between outings, while the suites add the private space and air-conditioning needed when the island has taken its share of energy.

The hotel is in Sakti, Nusa Penida Island, in the Klungkung Regency of Bali. The setting is on Nusa Penida rather than Nusa Lembongan, which matters when you are planning boat connections, diving days or island excursions. The centre of town is about 5 miles away.

Several beaches and coastal stops are within the area explored from the hotel, including Crystal Bay Beach, Pandan Beach and Puyung Beach. Excursion options also include Secret Beach, Payung Beach and Gamat Bay Beach. Crystal Bay Beach is the named diving-related spot, while the other locations give non-diving companions something to do when you are underwater.

The room choice is mainly about the view and the outdoor space rather than a long list of radically different layouts. If you want somewhere to sit outside with a cup of tea, look at a suite with a balcony. If the outlook matters more than the room label, the garden-view and view categories are the ones to focus on. The double-suite versions are designed for two people and include a double bed.

The fuller suite categories come with air-conditioning, a balcony, a private bathroom, a safe, Wi-Fi, tea-making facilities, water, towels and toiletries. That covers the useful post-dive basics: cool air when the day has been hot, a secure place for valuables and a drink without having to leave the room. Bathrobes and slippers are also included in these categories.

The double-suite options keep things more pared back, with a double bed, private bathroom, safe, telephone, towels and toiletries. Room service is available, so you can keep the evening indoors when the combination of sun, salt and an early start has done its work.

The restaurant serves Indonesian cuisine from breakfast through to dinner, with local specialities, fresh pastries and a range of breakfast choices. It is the sort of arrangement that works well when you would rather not turn the evening into another excursion: eat at the hotel, then head back to your room or the terrace.

Breakfast is included in the booking formula. Lunch and dinner are also served, and room service is available when staying in feels more appealing than sitting at a table. There is no bar to plan around, so drinks are a practical rather than a late-night feature of the property.

The infinity pool is the obvious place to reset without putting another activity on the schedule. A sun terrace and a lush garden add room to stretch out with a book, dry off after a swim or simply let the island day pass at a slower speed. There is also a spa, giving you an indoor option when the legs have had enough of excursions and swimming.

Snorkelling is available, and the hotel can arrange excursions to Secret Beach, Payung Beach, Pandan Beach, Crystal Bay Beach and Gamat Bay Beach. That gives couples an easy split for a day: one person can head out towards the coast while the other stays by the pool or explores the island.

A children’s pool is also available. The main pool, garden and terrace keep the non-diving side of the stay uncomplicated, which is often exactly what is needed when the day has already involved enough logistics.

Reception is open from 07:00 to 22:00. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 21:00, and check-out is by 11:00, so an early arrival or a late departure needs to fit around those times. An airport shuttle is available as a paid service and can be arranged with the hotel.

Free Wi-Fi covers the property, and free parking is available if you are travelling by road. Laundry service and excursion assistance are part of the practical offering, while the reception can help with tickets and local arrangements. Visa and Mastercard are accepted.

For couples sharing one room, a valid marriage certificate is required at check-in. The hotel also observes a no-pets policy. Electricity runs at 230 volts and uses Type C and Type F sockets, useful details if your charging kit has spent too long in the bottom of the dive bag.
