Oh my goodness, the family that runs this place are the most wonderful people I met on my whole trip in Bali. They made my stay so comfortable and were so kind that I extended my time in Nusa Penida. The room is spacious and cleaned every day with fresh towels. Comfy bed. Hot shower. When they noticed I'd bought water from the shop, they left 2 bottles in my room every day. When I got caught out in a storm one night, they messaged me to check I was ok, then came to collect me on their scooter so I didn't have to walk home. Every day when I get back in the afternoon, they make me hot tea to welcome me back. The breakfast (esp. nasi goreng) is so delicious and brought to you on your veranda. There's a fantastic beach club 5 min walk away (The Chill, Penida) that has the best food in the neighbourhood and free daybeds and infinity pool. I loved staying here and I'd come back in a heartbeat.

The wifi drops out sometimes (not an issue unless you're trying to do zoom calls for work!) The restaurant next door (Penida Cantina) was pretty bad food, so I'd go the The Chill or other places.

Our room being the closest to the beach was spot on! It was so great falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking up naturally to the sun lighting up the room. Our week in Nusa Penida had a great foundation at the Swan Beach Inn thanks to the location, the very kind staff and the breakfasts. We were treated with a choice of drink in the afternoons when coming home, which we felt being a nice touch. 🤩

The WiFi wasn’t the best, but just enough and sufficient. But don’t plan to do heavy internet usage there.

I rarely write reviews but this hotel truly deserves one. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted with warmth and kindness by the family that owned the hotel, who helped us in so many more ways than we could have ever asked for. Our family of 4 (traveling with 2 kids) stayed in 2 of their villas for one night, a double and twin villa, both very clean with towels, water, and air conditioning. The location was also great, on the beach with a nice view and near restaurants and small shops. Later that day, we wanted to rent scooters for a couple hours through the hotel, though we didn’t have a lot of experience driving in Bali before. The owners were incredibly accommodating and sweet and helped us find other ways to get around the island without having to worry about potential incidents. The breakfast the following morning was delicious, and they were able to bring it early in the morning before we left. I would 100% recommend this hotel if you are looking for a great family owned place that has everything you will need as well as some of the most humble people you will ever meet.

I am absolutely thrilled with the owners and staff of Swan Beach Inn – they are some of the kindest, most welcoming, and genuinely caring people I have ever met! Their warmth and hospitality made my stay truly special. The location is simply perfect – peaceful and quiet, right by the ocean. Falling asleep to the soothing sound of the waves was an unforgettable experience. My room was spotless and beautifully decorated with such a cozy touch. Everything felt so inviting and comfortable. Unfortunately, I only had time to stay for one night, but I definitely want to come back! The breakfast was absolutely delicious, made with love, and the entire atmosphere of the place was just magical. Highly recommend this little paradise!

I liked it all

All the rooms had a view, which was of the beach out front. The view was lovely, the rooms were great and the owners were lovely too, and very accomodating. The beach wasn't the best around as it would have been difficult to swim while the tide was out, but it was a nice view nonetheless. It was really nice to have breakfast while enjoying that view. The villa itself was a ways outside of town. We had rented a scooter in town so had no problem getting there, but it was a 25 minute drive.

The AC in the twin room wasn't very powerful, though it was fine in the double room we were in (we stayed in 2 different rooms).

It was such a lovely stay. A beautiful family ran these bungalows, and they were soooo lovely to me. They were always there to great me with a smile and a bottle of water or Bali coffee when I came back to my room, so genuinely kind and caring. The sound of the ocean drifted me off to sleep every night. It was pure bliss. The location is pretty central to things, and I did a snorkelling trip to Manta bay and struck gold, I swam with the Manta's! I saw a beautiful sunset every morning from just opening up my door. I would definitely recommend it, and I will come back on my next visit to Nusa Penida!

The scooter rides to the beaches was quite scary! Nothing to do with Swan beach Inn though. :)

This was a great little villa in very authentic style. It's simple and clean and the family that run it are just lovely people and very helpful. It's quiet and absolute beachfront so the sound of the ocean makes for a great sleep. It's not really a swimming beach ( though we did) but there's heaps of local outrigger fishing boats moored in the shallows just off the beach which looks cool and it's fun to watch them coming and going. There's a lovely breeze so sitting on the verandah looking out to sea was great. There's a few quite good restaurants nearby. We would definitely stay there again.

This was the best place we stayed at during our trip. Hosts were such a lovely family and looked after us so well. Breakfast was the best we had in Bali, brought to our balcony in the morning on time. Room was lovely, clean, comfortable beds, great shower, very peaceful on the beach and was lovely to listen to the waves when going to sleep. The hosts organised some trips and taxis which we really appreciated. There is a great restaurant just next door. We enjoyed the location, a mixture of local houses, shops and tourist accommodation/restaurants. Lovely to walk down the beach with the fishing boats and seaweed collectors.

If you are going to Nusa Penida this is the perfect place to stay. First of all the location is great, it’s near the ports, near many options for cafes and restaurants and bars (we personally loved The Chill just round the corner). It’s also great if you want to explore both sides of the island. The hosts were also AMAZING, we can’t thank them enough. The cleanliness was perfect and amazing value for money. The sound of the ocean in the morning and at night is also so relaxing. It was a home away from home. Shall we go ver find ourselves in Nusa Penida we will for sure be back! Thank you!

The hospitality at Swan Beach Inn was exceptional. The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, from the warm welcome and constant offers of coffee to the incredible meals they prepared (delicious banana pancakes, omelette and nasi goreng) The room was also lovely – clean, comfortable, and just what we needed. We highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a truly welcoming experience. PS: bring some earplugs, the waves sound was strong when we stayed.
