If you weren't familiar about the road, please be careful when using the map because the fastest road they choose might be through Ijen and the mountain/forest trip was horrible. It was only us on the road, it was pitch dark and it was raining on top of that we really just hoped that we could go through it safely along the way. The city route is exceptionally further, but it will feel safer, so please take that way especially if you are travelling in a small group. The trip made us too tired to go with our Kawah Ijen plan, and it was already too late to enjoy the view around the resort. The resort overall looks old, a little bit unclean, and it somehow gave us chills. Wifi didn't work well and my mother said it was turned off at dawn (I don't know because I couldn't connect properly even once, so I just gave up using it). Bathroom is clean and wide, but once again it just gave me chills when entering I don't know why. My bathroom door couldn't be closed fully, but too tired to complain after we complained once about the bathroom fan being too noisy and the staff just asked us to wait until it got better (thankfully it really did). It is indeed a hidden paradise as it is located far from anything, so don't expect you could grab anything other than room service if you suddenly feel hungry at night, unless you're willing to go out with youe vehicle. I was so excited to use the pool, but it was not clean and got worse due to the heavy rain. Overall, it wasn't that healing from me. Pro: I feel this place will be wonderful to go to in dry season with big group. The temperature is pretty cool. The view is amazing and the resort is huge, it would be a great place for families with children. And you need at least 3 days there. This turns out to be a long one because I had such a great expectation, which is why the disappointment is worse.
