Jimbaran hotels & places to stay

Location wise, Jimbaran is away from the hustle and bustle of the heart of Bali that is Kuta and Seminyak. So if you want a quaint and quiet holiday, Jimbaran is a nice location you could consider. If you are a hotel/beach/pool bum and all you want is a nice resort to relax in, then Rimba at Jimbaran is a lovely place to consider. We booked the Hillside units but were very generously upgraded to a poolside unit, the perfect start to our holiday. Rooms were clean and very well furnished we barely wanted to leave the room. The only downside was the presence of mosquitoes in our unit. Apart from that, the food in the resort (we ate thrice at To'ge, had snacks at Unique and order room service for dinner once all in our 4d3n stay) and the other facilities that are available (plenty of pools) make Rimba a lovely place for people who want a quiet resort vacation! Staff are very detailed and friendly and i would highly recommend this place!

Staff were all very courteous and friendly. We had the room with lounge access thus we spent our stay in the resort itself enjoying by the pool, the lounge, the beach as well as rock bar. The sunset view from rock bar was indeed magnificent as described by everyone else. Hotel guests have priority over outsiders thus this is a plus point as it may gets really crowded during the evening. Room was clean and well maintained, with a balcony and the view of the resort and the ocean. We had our breakfast at the sister hotel - Jimbaran hotel. The breakfast spread was one of the most extensive spread that I have ever seen. Great job. Both Ayana and Jimbaran were great for photo taking too. One of the best experience for me and my husband. We love it. Definitely worth the $$ spent. Thank you Ayana.

the most beautiful and luxury hotel i every seen.. i'v been to many hotels and resort all around the world & specially in Indonesia, and this is one of the best ever.. i love everything about it, i don't want to talk in details because i will never finish and am worried that i will miss something, so i will say it again & again ..everything was so beautiful and beyond expectation & it's the best ever i recommend it to anybody single, couple or family ..love it ..love it.. thank AYANA

We came to stay for 3 nights but ended up with 5 because we liked it so much. We came to the soft opening so there was still some construction work going on but it didn't bother us. When it is finished it will be an excellent hotel in Jimbaran. Pool is nice, very clean. They are also building a roof top bar which has beautiful views and amazing sunset. One unique feature is the balcony with deep soaking bathtub, highly recommended! The staffs were very friendly, helpful and professional and made our overall stay terrific. Really recommend for those who want to stay in Jimbaran Bay!

We are a young couple with a one year old child, and we really enjoyed our stay at Pat Mase. Normally, we live in hotels or private apartmens when travelling thus, we were very impressed by having our own one bedroom villa with our own pool and outdoor terrace with dinner table, couch, tv, own kitchen etc. We had (a good) breakfast every morning delivered to the villa by the very friendly staff and sometimes also lunch (do try their Nasi Campur). The staff might not in 100 pct of the cases understand all your wishes the first time, but overall they were very attentive and friendly. The villa was great value for money for us. We didn't mind so much that it is not situated on nor next to the beach in Jimbaran as we used the hotel's free shuttle service to/from the beach 1-2 times a day (takes approx. 5 minutes to the beach with car/golf car). Don't stay here if you want to stay directly at the beach, but do choose it if you are a couple or small or big family who wants peace and quiteness and your own villa and pool. We also had access to a bigger pool (shared with three other villas) just next to our villa and we had it on our own every time we used it. The villas also have a good location if you want to visit attractions on the Bukit Peninsula like Ulu Watu or Balangan Beach. It is 20 minutes away from the airport. However, our internet didn't work very well during our stay so we had to use the pc in the reception when we wanted to do online checkin for flights etc. If going back to Bali or Jimbaran with one or more children, we would definitely consider staying at Pat Mase Villas again.

We had a great time there. We stayed in a one-bedroom villa with ocean view and private pool. The whole villa and sea view are definitely a treat in this vacation. They know it very well how to make the best pool, with the pool water temperature always ready for you to jump in and enjoy yourself. The architectural and interior design of the villa is quite elegant, with Balinese style mixed with any modern lifestyle needs, make it a comfortable yet typical Balinese experience. The breakfast is great, as expected, especially nice if you order to have in the villa. Before we came, we checked online and learned issues about tipping, expensive wifi service, relatively isolated location, etc. The real experience is: tipping is not compulsory, you can tip when you feel like necessary and satisfy, we always tip the housekeepers, but not the case to all the buggy drivers; the wifi service is free but can only allocate 2-3 devices, and the network speed is not fast enough; you literately can go nowhere without a car or chauffeur service, the only place you can reach by foot is the Jimbaran beach cafe area (you can find seafood bbq there), so we planned our day-tour chauffeur in advance and save a whole day to spend in the villa the day before we left. The garden built by the sea is quite lovely. We love to spend some time walking and sitting in the garden no matter at night or in the sunshine. After we checked out and waiting for our taxi to the airport, we got around 30 minute to waste, we chose the garden for the last bit of Bali. Then we came across a guy (he seemed like a manager at the resort hotel) who asked us get out of the air-conditioning business center (the receptionist suggest us to stay there while waiting), and annoyingly insisted to take us to the restaurant for drinks instead of staying in the garden (we just had breakfast and could not have any more drinks). Anyway, we enjoyed the resort, and everything's good as expected.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lodge. Thanks to the reviews we selected to stay here. The only downside was the breakfast situation. The listing says breakfast included, but it’s not, only if you select to purchase breakfast. They need to fix this on the listing, b/c I was upset when it was explained to me. When I offered to pay the price online, I wasn’t that amount, instead a quote of $40 per person, per day. I declined it. Instead I enjoyed the ocean breeze cafe in the front of the resort, they served delicious breakfast and cost less then $10 per person. We really enjoyed our stay here. The hospitality was the best, the food was delicious from the pool to the cafe. Complimentary yoga every morning. The grounds are gorgeous. It’s the best beach resort. The hotel is next to the four seasons, but much better then the four seasons, since this resort has the ocean front, beach access. Jimbaran is the best beach, I stayed on other sides of the island and this is the best beach. There’s also dining options on the beach you can choose to dine at, they only take cash though. We really loved our stay @ Intercontinental, the price great, what they offered was wonderful, we miss being there with all the wonderful staff and gorgeous views. And the rooms are spacious. Walk-in closets too, you can live here for a week. I look forward to going back :)

Lumbini Villas is very new (opens in Feb'14) but this good feel do not last forever, do make a trip there before things get worn down or damaged. Key facilities like private pool, bed, bathroom are in good condition at this moment. Things I like most are: clean pool with full privacy and ideal for sun tanning, spacious bedroom including a decent workdesk and King-sized bed, fully self-sufficeint with cooking facility in the villa. Things I do not like include: slow WIFI roaming, high price spa package, non-A/C living room as widespread mosquitoes is a problem. The villa is a long walk from the nearest beach (20-30 min). Popular spas and resturant facilities are normally resided within other villa/resort compounds in Jimbaran, such as Intercontinental, Four Seasons, Jimbaran Puri Bali.

I stayed during New Year vacation when they are giving about 50% discount for the room rate. Very cheap for a 4-star hotel. The location is quiet strategic. I recommend to stay here if you want to explore Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Denpasar, and Uluwatu. Even airport only 15-minute drive. There are Mc Donalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, some other resto and some mini market in walking distance. The bad things they have very limited parking space, so at that time I have to valet parking my car and have to wait about 15-30 minutes to have it ready at the lobby. Looks like they have shortage in staff and not ready for the number of customer staying during peak season. When checked-in I waited for about 30 minutes. Besides that, the breakfast is so-so. But overall, I still want to stay at this hotel because of the location and very convenient to get last-minute bites.

A friend and I spent 2 nights here to end our 10 day trip to bali, and we were not disappointed. Throughout our stay in bali, we had stayed in nice but budget hotels and then we decided to check into Watermark for the last 2 nights as we thought it would be a bit of a treat. And it surely was! We didnt even pay that much, $85 AUD per night including breakfast for 2 people! (so it only ended up being just over $40 pp per night) and it was worth it! When we arrived at the hotel, we were welcomed so warmly by the staff who took great care of us and explained everything about the hotel and helped us to our rooms. They also explained to us various shuttle busses that we could take to Kuta and shopping centres for free and also organised our airport transfer (free as well!). So the staff really were great! The pools were lovely too! The rooftop one has awesome views and is great to take pictures and relax and laze, however it is quite a shallow pool (1m) so cant really do diving haha, but great to relax! The bottom floor pool was also lovely, a bit bigger and there is also a baby pool next to it. The breakfasts were great! We tried both the Japanese breakfast and the international buffet breakfasts and both were fantastic! Oh and the room! The room was amazing! And really big as well! the bathroom was fancy and we always got lots of hotel amenities. The room itself was a great place to hangout as it was spacious and had a very big couch next to the window. Theres also a gym that was good. The location isnt bad, especially if youre at the end of your trip waiting for your flight, however theres not an awful lot to do around Jimbaran. The beach was 20 minute walk from the hotel, however, the beach wasn't nice, lots and lots of rubbish from the ocean. But the restauarants along the beach was very nice! And there's a great Warung (Bloem's Warung) just across the street from the hotel which we ate at twice! Really good food for cheap prices! Its around a 40 minute d

Stayed 4 nights in the Lagoon Access room. This hotel is among the "unusual" ones I've visited - not the typical "luxury" style, but instead selling cozy services to make guests feel like home! 1) Check-in: Nothing formal and it was coupled with several chairs and tables with computers - just like library for guests to check-in in a very relaxed mood. I found this more personal and of course the welcome drink tasted very good as well. 2) Lagoon Access Room: Very spacious with a large bed in the middle of the room. There's a spacious balcony which you can have beer/wine and also access to swimming pool straight the way. 3) Food: Plentiful choices at breakfast and I only get bored on my last day! Apart from typical coffee/tea option, they also served special smoothies which is a must try. Jimbaran seafood restaurants were just 3 mins walk away from hotel across the road. The food there was very good and costs about IDR250,000/head, and I didn't smell any BBQ smoke from my room but that's probably because mine was far away from the beach. Alternatively, there is a small shopping mall which is 5 mins walk away from hotel, with restaurants serving Indonesian, Western and Japanese food. 4) Services: Full of smiles. Every staff smiled at you whenever they passed by and greeted you. They were also helpful when you needed taxis by booking the cheapest "Blue Bird" brands instead of others which turned out to be more expensive. They also had a gym which is good enough for holiday runners but not for those who wants a hardcore weight training programme. They also had a spa but I didn't try. 5) Swimming Pool: This is definitely the selling point of this hotel. "Sea-salted" was a good gimmick and access from your room straight the way was another! The pool was irregularly shaped so as to accommodate all Lagoon Access rooms, yet this also mean swimming from your room to the central part of the pool was far, as you needed to swim pass couple rooms before reaching there!

We booked a room at Abi Bali last minute as we had a bad experience with another hotel. 30 minutes after booking, we were at their reception, they quickly had a scooter for us ready and our room was ready. Amazing service, made our last day at Bali a breeze, we definitely needed that! If you're looking for a hotel in Jimbaran, this is definitely a hotel you should check out, we really enjoyed it!

Staff were always ready to answer queries and provide recommendations. Room was spacious even for two occupants. Shower with the bathtub probably needs some redesigning to prevent the water from spilling out. The rooftop pool at night is picturesque. Not too far away from the main road that you can walk out to look for local food. Yet, far enough that you don't hear traffic to disrupt your sleep. Less than 5 minutes walk down to Jimbaran Beach and right beside are 2 good restaurants if you feel like indulging yourself. A spa place is located right outside the hotel too. Just be careful walking on the cobblestone path as it is uneven. Had an enjoyable and a comfortable stay overall!

The hotel management and staffs were very helpful with great hospitality. They always fulfilled every request I asked them. I even got a free-upgraded room during my stay in the hotel for four nights. I celebrated my birthday here and the staffs surprised me with cake, candle, and singing when I had my breakfast. The facilities is good and complete. The food is nice and varied. Overall, I felt like home during my stay in Royal Tulip Hotel Jimbaran and I will definitely stay there again when I visit Bali next time.

My wife and I have been traveling for a year now and we really rely on these reviews. We have stayed in dozens of hotels around the world and one thing I've realized is what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. So before I begin my review here is a quick disclaimer. We are a budget minded intrepid/adventurous couple who enjoy splurging on accommodation. We prioritize cleanliness, good value, location, and ambiance when choosing a place. We don't freak out over small things like geckos on the wall or spotty internet. So...... We loved the Open House. It's a 1 min walk to the beach and located on a quiet street. The owner/manager Jose (from Spain) is a wonderful guy and always around. His decades of managing hotels shows as his staff is very professional and personable. We liked the small boutique size of the hotel and enjoyed coming back to the quiet enclave of the property. Great restaurant as well. The rooms were well appointed, just a bit small, but we overlooked that fact given all the positives. Great location for Jimbaran as it was situated in the center of the wide Jimbaran beach. We stayed 5 days and enjoyed everything.

It was our honeymoon stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better hotel... Fabulous views of the sea, excellently maintained grounds and greens, and a terrific group of staff... Don't be unsettled by the drive through the humble quarters to the hotel... It gets better as soon as you enter the gate... The villas are well appointed, and come with a dedicated butler who is more than eager to help... Fifty steps to the Jimbaran beach and the fabulous views... The beach is beautiful, and surprisingly not crowded... A large private pool completes the experience... The food served is delicious, and while the menu is limited, the butler is happy to go beyond the listed options and serve you any food that you want... Like a home cook ! I recommend everyone to experience this hotel while the beach is relatively quiet... The hotel is well worth the money... A special mention to Suta, Wayan and Compas the staff at the hotel who were fabulous, polite, helpful and extremely courteous... Not to forget the other Wayan, an extremely sweet chap who drove us to the airport, paid for by the hotel...

This hotel is located top of the hill and we got there by Taxi. You can spot the sun set on the correct timing during the journey up hill. The reception area is an open-air concept and you will be greeted with welcome drinks. The staff guided us to our room and there was a surprise of heart shape roses on the bed because we were on a honeymoon trip. In love with their lovely arrangement. The hotel has gym and also swimming pool with multiple cute flats of car & aeroplane shape. Definitely a heaven for kids. There are some hidden gems in this hotel, you MUST find out the sauna and jacuzzi area!!! We found it accidentally and there is no one. OMG, the facilities are so clean, and looked 99% new when we were there. According to the staff, no one visited throughout the whole week. We regret finding out the room during our last day of stay. The hotel also has free shuttle to JIMBARAN BEACH, a place famous for seafood and for sun set view,. Every staff in the hotel is friendly and caring. Will come back again next time =)

We lived in the biggest 4 bed room villa with swimming pool, two bed massage room, big kitchen, two living rooms and gym room all inside the private villa. Thus, we loved to stay in the villa for more time to enjoy the facilities and we called many times massage therapist to serve us. It was an incredible experience. Besides, the staff were very helpful and nice. They offered free transportation to/from airport and inside Jimbaran. Thus, transportation was excellent. If we went outside Jimbaran, staff called BlueBird Taxi for us, avoiding some cheating taxi on the street.

good environment，clean&tidy，service is perfect，quiet，bed is very comfortable，room space is big，wifi is smooth，can arrange car with free to send you to Jimbaran beach，can arrange car with free to send you to airport，but the breakfirst is setted，you can choose one of three（american style，indonesia style and asia style）。SPA service，how to say，I guess hotel has agreed with the artificier person from outside，the body spa is good，but for the facial spa is not professional，it is not recommanded. The madam in receiption provided the best service，thanks. If you walk from Jimbaran beach to hotel，it will take around 20 minutes by walk.

Absolutely stunning private villa Staff very nice but a little less attentive than expected. Thee is essentially no lobby so you are pretty much on your own. They will provide transportation to certain areas but otherwise you will require your own itinerary or just stay at Villa which is very nice. They contract with Belmont next door but the place was not maintained and we were not attended to (ie no help to get towels, chairs etc.) so we went to nusadua kayumanis which was quaint with a beach.

This was our second visit to Jimbaran and our first stay at Kupu Kupu Jimbaran Beach Club and Spa. We were collected at the airport within minutes and it is only a very short trip to the hotel, which is excellent if you are getting at midnight, or the early hours of the morning. From the moment we arrived for our 5 day stay the whole sense of being on holidays kicked in. The night staff were expecting us and were very attentive to our needs. Our room (Muaya Duplex Suite) was airy, and spacious. Especially liked that the bedroom is on the first floor away from the living room and bathroom. It is in the traditional Balinese style which is lovely. We met friends for dinner at the hotel’s beach club (Jimbaran beach club), which is right on the beautiful Jimbaran beach. The food was great, and the service excellent. Our friends (who were staying in another part of Bali) said it was the highlight of their trip. I went back a few times just to have the greek salad, oh yum. We had a number of meals at the beach, both during the day and at night, and highly recommend it. The beach, if you like sand and surf, is the one for you: great body surfing, snorkelling or just swimming in the ocean. We live in Darwin, Australia where swimming in the ocean is a little like Russian roulette with crocodiles and stingers, so it was a lovely experience. The hotel staff made it a great stay - nothing too much to ask for, a smile on every face and pleasure in their manner, that shows they are happy that you have selected their hotel for your stay. We took up the Breakfast option, which is ideal for those who like a late rise (and who doesn’t on a Bali holiday) and start the morning off with a hearty breakfast and good coffee. We had one evening meal in the restaurant which was very good, with a good bottle of red. We will certainly return to this hotel.
