We are on a 4 Month Itinerary touring South East Asia.. Matahari was literally our 20th Hotel/Homestay.. We are accomplished Divers but chose not to bring equipment as our intentions were not to Dive more than perhaps a total of 10 days over the course of our trip... We maintained minimal Luggage to simplify our mobility around this beautiful part of the World. We rented their on sight gear... some pieces were admittedly a little more worn than we are used to.. but managed to be geared up for some awesome diving... also will point out that while their, they just received a large supply of new gear. From the moment our driver picked us up in Ubud we were continously Greeted with Smiles and a Willingless to Please... this Trend Contines with Every Area of Sevice; Front Desk Reception, The House keeping Staff, The Restaurant Staff, The Spa Staff... We do wish to give a Special Shout out to Ben ( De Bentar)... who was great at Organizing our Dives/ Equipment... Our Dive time was not about Challenging or Deep Dives ... but more relaxing, visually Interesting and Fish Laden Sites... We got Exactly that... Many Nemos were Found along with another Hundred Varieties... Super Fun seeing Turtles and Octopus too... My Reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the Resort can Really use a Refresh in Decor/Paint and Scrubbing.. Covid has been hard on most of this...We are on a 4 Month Itinerary touring South East Asia..

Covid has been hard on most of this sort of business... but it was great to see a "Breath of Life" at Matahari... so hopefully more revenue will allow for this...
