The Sanchaya

I celebrated my birthday weekend, and I couldn't be more pleased with this high-end resort! I loved the colonial architecture and the tasteful decor everywhere. However, above all, the staff and their attitude blew us away -- I particularly want to name Dian (for all things F&B) and the chef (just delicious food)! I had planned a beach barbecue, which given the monsoons, was a going to be iffy. But the way Dian and his crew used a break in the weather to put up the beautiful tent on the beach and set everything up was just amazing. I loved the little touches that the staff placed in my suite (stayed in the Sanchaya Suite). Look forward to the next trip -- this is Asian hospitality at its highest!

The Sanchaya is a very elegant boutique resort that well and truely lives up to its promises. Upon arrival you immediately feel at home with the vibe being much more like your wealthy friends large private beach front estate than a hotel. This is more so reinforced by the staff who go out of their way to remember and address each guest by name and they have been clearly very well trained to anticipate a guests needs and to have a “yes we can do that” approach. All of this combines into a very personal experience. The food and beverage offer is up to par with the quality of the accommodation. The extensive multicultural menus makes it feel like you are ordering pretty much anything you feel like at the time and it is consistently delivered with a high quality of preparation and service. The best part though is sitting on the bar verandah at the end of the day, indulging in cocktails, staring at the ocean with a pleasant breeze blowing and enjoying how good life can be.

From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcome. If you need a quiet and serene place to stay, this is the place. It is suitable from solo to family. Special thanks to Budiaryo Chef. Do try his Beef Tongseng - marvelous. Transport is easily available. And the resort has a personalized service the moment you disembarked from the ferry. Highly recommended.

The experience at The Sanchaya was very pleasant and relaxing. It's perfect for a weekend getaway. Most of the staff addressed us by name, which made the experience feel more personalized. They were attentive to our needs and provided excellent service. Everyone, including the maintenance team and gardeners, greeted us with a smile, which was a wonderful touch and brightened our mood. From the warm welcome to the warmest send-off by Greg and his team, every moment felt special. We also had lots of lovely conversations with the staff at the bar, especially Ron and his team. (I can’t name everyone, but truly, everyone was so welcoming, making us feel right at home.) We enjoyed the good food and drinks (specially the BREAKFAST!!!), and we appreciated the package that included breakfast and drinks at the bar, along with the flexible check-in and check-out. It was great value for money. I also want to highlight Hadi, the sweetest guy who drove us between the ferry terminal and the hotel. On our way back to the ferry after our stay, my husband and I were chatting in our own dialect, and I happened to mention "sunset." I doubt Hadi could understand our language, but when we arrived at the terminal, he suggested we watch the sunset by the bay. I initially declined, saying we were feeling a bit lazy to walk, but a few minutes later, he came into the lounge looking for us. He was so enthusiastic about it that I agreed, and not only did he take us there, but he also drove us to the perfect spot and even took photos for us. It was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture that made our stay even more memorable. (He's the one who gave me an idea of leaving a review here in TripAdvisor.) I just hoped the pool could be used after 5 PM for some evening activities. It would have been a great addition to an already wonderful experience.

I stayed at this amazing estate for 4D3Ns with my 3 boys and wife. We stayed at the Sanchaya Suite which was spacious, beautifully furnished, and we woke up every morning to the wonderful view of the sea. If not for the beautiful white sandy beaches and infinity pool, we could have stayed in our room all day. But the beauty of Sanchaya art the staff. Warm, earnest and attentive. They always have time for my boys, and they grew very attached to Nawa, Fadil, Anjas, Lina, Yohan and many more by the end of our trip. We are looking forward to our next trip back to Sanchaya
