Bali Jungle Resort — Hotel in Pulau Bali

When I first touched down with my partner at this place, the scenery was stunning. It was located in the middle of the jungle which made me look forward to our stay. But after that, things turn south very quickly.

❌ Negatives ❌ 🔺 There were all types of bugs gliding around in our room, hornets, flying ants, moths, it's way too much for me. But it makes sense because it is located inside of the thick canopies.

🔺 The toilet bowl is worn out and brown, it's absolutely disgusting.

🔺 The ceiling and walls of the toilet is moldy.

🔺 The shower water will only go hot for approximately a minute before turning ice cold, yes I endured that for 5 nights. I have to switch on and off repeatedly.

🔺 There's an ant colony at the bathroom door, unbelievable, we have to ask the staff to clean it up.

🔺 The free breakfast option is way too limited, there were only 5 and the burger has no meet, which taste so bland.

🔺 One of the staff on 4th January called me "stup1d" without me being rude to them, later the manager told me it was a miscommunication but I hope that's actually the case.

But this resort is not all bad, there were still some good things that deserved to be recognized.

✅ Positives ✅ ❇️ The view is absolutely incredible. Especially looking out from the private pool while the day is still young, with thin fog around. You would feel like life is completed.

❇️ Hearing the bird tweets in seldomly some monkey sounds from deep in the woods feel so satisfying.

❇️ The private pool is lovely, totally enjoyed swimming in those water.

❇️ Some of those staffs are fearless, they would grab the bugs barehand without a second thought to tidy up the area. It's something new for a city guy like me.

❇️ Gita is such a sweet lady! She helped my partner and me to get a driver quickly after the motorcycle rental failed to show up. Andi and one of his mates provided me a lot of assistance as well.

But overall, there is massive space in different aspects that they need to improve, until that change, I wouldn't recommend...

I never thought that after the challenging road that you need to go down (as well as going up) there's a gem hidden in this jungle. It's all worth it experiencing everything in Jungle huts. My husband and I fell in love instantly with the place when we reached the lobby. Not to mention Ari with his welcoming smile and very assuring knowledge and experiences with this place and animals that made our stay feel safe at all. And of course the very charming Anggi who's there all the way assisting us with all our needs. The staff who patiently serve our food wherever we want to eat. We are grateful to the owner also with their generosity because they upgraded our Standard Double Room to a Villa with an owned pool without charging as an additional fee. They even allowed us to extend our check out time for 4 hrs and experience their Deluxe Room with a balcony facing the jungle and enjoy all the amazing views and rest with calmness and peace. Again, without extra charge. If you are a nature lover and on the budget this place is definitely for you 🥰 Definitely we will come back...

The resort is an introverted heaven. It's quiet and peaceful with the sounds of bird chirping, monkey, wind and the water surrounding you at all times. The weather is also nice and cool being amongst the trees, such a breath of fresh air away from the usual hot weather of Bali. The resort also has a private access to nearby river that has a small waterfall, it's refreshing to walk down this path in the morning. A nice resort amidst the jungle indeed, it lives up to its name. Service is pretty nice despite it being a little understaffed for such a big place. It's not perfect, but workers there tried their best to give you a very pleasant stay and it shows :) although the choice is quite limited, the food is pretty decent here & communication is easy through whatsapp. Make sure you have a skilled driver with you because the access to this hidden gem is pretty...
