The gem that welcomes you to the pinnacle whatever the reason for your trip. Whether as a family, a couple, or solo I give you five reasons to choose the Eastin Ashta Resort Canggu to stay in Bali.
1. Welcome/service:
What a pleasure to be greeted with a smile, no matter what time of day you arrive. When you check in, you’ll be introduced to jamu, a strangely additive drink made from ginger and turmeric. If you’re arriving late, contact the hotel to book room service. The front desk is there to take care of you, Icha, Herry, Putu, Yoga, Wayan, Pande, and so many other fabulous people I’ll remember forever.
Icha is a kind-hearted person who knows how to respond to your requests and needs. For example, for an agency if you want to extend your visa, but if you’re like me, she’ll reassure you that the team is there for you, so don’t be afraid to bother. Herry will give you the best tips, for example, on the tours you want to do, with a driver who can best match your expectations to be your tour guide.
Special thanks to the team: Icha, thank you for being such an extraordinary person, always kind and smiling. I’m lucky to have crossed your path.
Herry, thank you for your good humor, you gave me joy every time.
Putu, thank you for your gentleness and calm. I’d like to thank each and every one of you at the reception desk because you’re all golden!
Personally, even though I haven’t mentioned them, I find each of them wonderful in their own way. Every time you leave or enter the hotel, there are their smiles, sometimes a spontaneous smile changes everything, believe me.
Even when you order a GoFood, they can bring your dish up to your room when you ask them to. In short, they take care of you, and it’s good to feel they’re there to advise you.
2. The rooms :
Spacious without getting lost in them, with ocean-colored walls, clean beds and sheets, top-notch maintenance service, houskeepers who clean every corner of the room, and balcony (very rare in Bali). Between cleanliness and organization, they’re really top-notch and extremely reactive, too. Sheet changes are made automatically. The pillows and mattresses are so comfortable. Linens changed daily. If there’s not enough bottled water, don’t hesitate to use the app that reception gives you on arrival to have your request processed or simply the room phone.
What luck to have had Bangkit as a housekeeper, every day a different linen design (elephant, monkey, even a yogi) with a little personalized note. A smile, a word, a conversation, I consider myself lucky to have crossed his path. A room is clean from top to bottom. Thank you for your work and for making my stay even more comfortable.
If you’d like your laundry done, just fill in the form in your room. It’s done quickly, and unlike other hotels, your clothes are not damaged, the whites stay white, and the waistline stays intact.
The maintenance service is very responsive, a mosquito problem? A toilet or shower with a small problem? In short, any problem has a solution with the Eastin Ashta Resort Canggu. Thank you, Adi, for all you do with maintenance.
3. Location:
Canggu, Jalan Munduk, 5 minutes’ walk from the « Pantai Batu Bolong » beach, excellent for surfing, but choose another for swimming. Firstly, for your surfing safety, and secondly, to avoid litter.
There are restaurants on both sides of the street, for example, BGS for coffee lovers, Warung Inklusive, for fun evenings full of craziness as we love. There is also Penny Lane, which is very instagramable 🤪👌 . I give you my favorites Roti Canai and Poke Poke. I recommend them for the local food and breakfasts! The Laci restaurant is well styled too. You really eat delicious Indonesian specialties.
There are also shops all around if you need something like deodorant, sun cream, or chips. There’s also an Express visa agency just a two-minute walk away. Just to let you know: there are two visa agencies, one fifty meters away (www.balivisas.com) from the Eastin Ashta Resort Canggu, and the other 100 meters away, next to the BGS café 😉.
There’s also a parking lot inside the hotel, which is very useful if you’re renting a scooter or car.
Admittedly, there is some construction, which is commonplace in Canggu these days. However, this in no way detracts from the quality of service and infrastructure. In short, location is a big advantage!
4. Food & Beverage:
What could be better than an incredible hotel with optimal service? Food and service, of course! Mr. Bagus Tisna, manager of the hotel’s Food & Beverage department, manages it all with a master’s hand. Jovial and charismatic, chatting with him was a real pleasure!
From the all-you-can-eat breskfast to the refined dishes on the « SALT » restaurant menu and the delicate cocktails in the Pool Bar. The healthy juices are simply addictive, with a range of colors, tastes and textures, from frozen to not-frozen. There’s also happy hour from 4pm to 7pm!!! Make the most of it, and try their espresso martinis or coconut ashta, they’re to die for! I’m going to list my culinary favorites, but it’s going to be difficult because I love the whole menu… 🙈. As much as the cooks ensure that your continental breakfast is delicious, you can also choose to have breakfast with local food. Let’s get back to the favorite dishes of the « SALT » restaurant:
1. Le Nasi Goreng
2. Pork Belly
3. Eastin Super Burger
4. Seafood Bisque.
I also recommend the spaghetti geen chicken (pesto), they really know how to cook pasta al’dente! The cooks are really good!
Special thanks to Agus for your good vibes, your kindness, your smile, and your cocktails, each one as good as the next. I loved the butterfly designs, a true artist at heart! And let’s not forget Hendra, who’s always on hand from breakfast to dinner, always with a word to make you understand that as a solo traveler, you’re never as alone as you think. Dewa, Dewa, Dewa, always on fleek, highly responsive, and with an infectious smile, what more could you ask for? Indah, sweet, polite, and so respectful, I loved talking to you at the bar. Thank you for sharing this moment with me, always top service. Riza, a wonderful surprise, a real little heart, funny and full of sweetness, a very nice meeting this year. Ema, elegance and kindness, always welcoming. Yoga, thank you for your good mood, your impeccable service, and your kindness towards me. Puji, I’ll miss your « Hi Marie », funny, always a gentle welcome at breakfast. Thank you to all those wonderful people, those smiles that accompanied me throughout my long stay.
I apologize in advance for anyone I haven’t mentioned, I won’t forget you! Each of these people had a word, a gesture that kept me going on this trip, which was another life challenge for me. Having stayed at Eastin in November-December 2022, and then several times in the last two months, I’ve become very attached to each and every one of them… I’ll stop here. There are too many emotions. This team is like a big family to each other. In fact, I consider them my family too: they’re all, without exception, helpful, incredibly polite, and generous.
5. Facilities :
Yoga: Twice-weekly morning yoga classes. This can be a real treat during your stay because you don’t forget that Bali is a destination where you can fully recharge your batteries. The pool: A huge rectangular pool, very well kept, always clean, with no insects or foliage inside. Exposed to the sun and surrounded by a bevy of transats and poufs, you can bask in the sunshine, and if you’d like a drink or a bite to eat, the service is open. Happy Hours from 4 pm to 7 pm are just great. Spa: Would you like a massage? Don’t panic, book your time at reception, and the spa will come straight to your room with a table and treatment products. Fitness: Yes, there’s also a fitness room for the less lazy among us (obviously, I’m not a fitness freak). Still, I admire those who are, what strength you have in this heat. Daycare: There’s a daycare center with nannies who’ll take care of your kids if you decide to go sightseeing with your loved ones. Theme evenings: Would you like to try the Indonesian buffet? Book your evening and let yourself be carried away by the flavor of your dish and the Indonesian dances. The same goes for the Mexican evening! As you can see, anything is possible at Eastin.
Value for money: For both short and long stays, it’s a great value. The location in Canggu saves you money on every level.
Whether you’re a family, a couple, a solo traveler, or a group of friends, this hotel can accommodate you.
