    This place is well past its hayday and it's hard not to think that it is being left to run-down, room-by-room, until keeping it open is no longer viable. Quiet is great, but when that morphs into slightly creepy, think Barber: full bar, grand piano, karaoke set-up, tables and chairs, dark, gloomy, lifeless, you have to ask yourself if this place isn't already on life support. But, at $50 a night, when it does everything any hotel is expected to do, no complaints.

    Our first impression reminded us of The Overlook Hotel out of the Jack Nicholson movie The Shining. Why? According to the staff, 250 rooms of which only 150 were usable with about 30 guests staying at the same time as us. It was quiet....very quiet and if you want it calm, then this is the place for you. The room was large, bed comfortable, clean enough, but it, like the hotel, is showing its age...but we paid $50 a night so great value for money. We opted to include breakfast, which offered pretty standard stuff, an egg option, selection of fruit, Indonesian staples, toast, tea, juice...exactly what you would choose anywhere else. I'll come back to quiet. This hotel is very close to central Jimbaran, but is up a hill, past Raffles, past The Four Seasons, with a turn-off just before a convenience store...that leads to...the end of the road, which is exactly where this hotel is located, so no road noise. To get to Samasta complex, for example, takes 5 mins max on a scooter, same for the seafood restaurant area, walking down would be OK, but not up that hill. The pool is the size of a dry dock, huge, depth about 1.3m, they have a smaller pool for kids to drown in. Describing the lobby as grand doesn't do it justice, it's the size of 2 dry docks minus the water. Staff were friendly, check-in was no problem. In-room water, tea, coffee, sugar but no jug to boil water, no spoon to stir your beverage so had to ask for that. Stangely enough, no milk, so we woke up the guy in the Barber bar/restaurant and asked ...options were he'd put some in a glass for us to take away or we could buy a litre. Great view of Jimbaran & airport from the rooftop.

    The property itself is located in a quiet area where you have to drive through bumpy roads to get to but its walkable to some eateries/spas, but nowhere the grabcars cant locate. The place was also slightly run down and the toilet emitted some smell every time I flushed.

    It was a massive hotel and the room was cold and comfy. The bed had soft sheets and it felt soo good to sleep in. The smell of the shampoo/soap they provided was really good too. Would love to get my hands on that hahaha our room came with breakfast and while the options weren’t a lot, it was definitely enough and satisfying.

    Hallway, and balcony was so dirty like they never sweep it. Swimming pool was dirty too, I can tell when I dive, I couldn't see under the water properly. The changing room can't be used, they don't have various options of breakfast. The staff wasn't really responsive, gotta call them again and again only to request some q tips.

    It's like a hidden gem, cheap hotel with good vibes, good entrance to the lobby. Such a good deal to stay with family

    The property is only partially open and offers limited services. The owners should focus on re-opening completely to ensure a great guest experience. The excuse of the pandemic is a bit lame… It looks like they want to generate some cash in order to finish it step by step. Not sure this is the right strategy.

    The staff were all excellent and very helpful. They really made me feel very welcome. Thank you for the upgrade, the room was also comfortable and spacious.

    Unfortunately we found a giant rat in our bathroom and couldn't get hold of anyone at front desk at 5am. The girls addressed it right away the next morning but it was stressful. Breakfast was buffet and pretty average. The cleanliness could be better in the dining area.

    The rooms are comfortable. Good air-conditioning. Great showers and hot water. Clean pool. Overall, quiet but easy to get a grab or scooter. The girls at reception are exceptional, they deserve a raise.

    This resort is large and many rooms are not occupied. It needs a lot of maintenance. I tried to find the fitness centre but got lost in a maze of abandoned corridors and rooms on the lower level. Quite spooky & disconcerting. Breakfast selections could be improved a bit but the coffee was good.

    Very nice staff doing their best. Moved me to a new room with no fuss on my request. Food was good value and pretty decent. Location is not far from Jimbaran beach. Good value for what you pay. If you keep that in mind it's fine. Bali in general is a whole lot more expensive than it once was.

    I don't like the breakfast menu was not having any variants. They have some Indonesian food and also one type of white bread for sandwich Would have been better if they added more menu anyway But so far the restaurant is pretty 😍 near the pool as well The room has bathub but the water was not too hot It was hot but getting cold in mins But the bathroom was so pretty and love the design which was smart .

    I love the view was very amazing and beautiful And also the location was on top of hill , colder compare with Kuta or Seminyak.. The hotel was near muaya beach and jimbaran beach. Can only ride a mobile for like 3 mins for muaya beach and 8mins for Jimbaran beach. Best location to get seafood around the beach as well The hotel is so huge .. and so peaceful...

    The hotel is not in a good shape after the pandemic. Most of the facilities are closed and just a few rooms are used for guests. It feels like an abandoned building sometimes. I feel they are understaffed to keep such a big place nice and tidy. There is a lot of dirt and dust in the stairwell. Upstairs on the way to our room is a office space that looks messy and dirty. The location is not great because walking to the beach takes about 20min on a busy road with not sidewalk. The street to the hotel is also abandoned and in bad shape. A lot of stray dogs and no good lighting.

    The rooms are spacious and clean. The pool is also clean and nice to swim in. The hotel staff is doing their best to make your stay comfortable and and really kind.

    There is no shuttle bus as advertised on the website. The western choice at breakfast is very limited.

    The rooms are very big and the pool has a shallow section for less confident swimmers. There is a kids room with activities for younger children to play with. The location is very quiet and peaceful. It is a 20 minute walk or 7 minute taxi ride to Jimbaran beach. There are minimarts only a 10 minute walk away. The Bar on site services food and drink all day and well into the evening (including to the poolside and room service). The menu has a good mix of western dishes and local ones, at reasonable prices. Staff are really friendly, especially to children - you really feel welcomed at this hotel. They are happy to help you book a local taxi or you can download the grab app (similar to Uber) and do it yourself.
