The Menjangan by LifestyleRetreats

This time of year (October) was a bit dry and windy, but the forest and ocean was still full of nature, The staff at this resort are some of the best I have ever experienced. And the food and prep was great.

If you’re looking for a place to escape, this is it. The staff is beyond amazing, the rooms are well taken care of, and there are activities to enjoy at reasonable prices.

Amazing place surrounded by nature. Staff was fantastic. They all new who we were. They took good care of us and watched that we were happy. It is a lovely place. Food was excellent. The activities were amazing.

It was great! I only wish it wouldn’t be dry season over there to have more green around and if I could stay longer to have more time for snorkelling.

Very clean, eco friendly, almost zero Insects in our room, beautiful property and beach access. Excellent staff. Highly recommend.

What a magical place! We will most definitely return. They staff was amazing. The food was delicious. The accommodations and views were breathtaking. All of our wants and needs were taken care of. We love this place!🙏

The location. The surrounding Park. The rooms. The Staff. The restaurant over looking the water. It was all excellent. Be sure to take the Bird Watching trek.

Beautiful natural site and wonderful service and food. Recommend the beach villas

Our beach villa was absolutely lovely, spacious, well laid out. And plenty of space to relax around the beach. Snorkelled and kayaked from the beach. Didn’t venture to enjoy the other facilities there were on offer as we were enjoying the beach and the restaurant on the beach.

The beach villa is just a few feet from the ocean. It is very comfortable with lots of desk space and a couch. I accidentally broke the shower head and it was repaired in 10 minutes. The snorkeling to the island is amazing.

The northwest of Bali is quite different from the rest of the island, it is drier with different flora and fauna. The property is situated in a national park with limited access by the public it is tranquil and a marked contrast to the hustle,bustle,traffic and touristy excess of the main towns. The rooms are separate from the beach and other facilities and the hotel lays on a shuttle service. There are plenty of things to do including wildlife and bird watching tours although the highlight is definitely the diving and snorkelling available on reefs off Menjangan Island. It is the only place on Bali that I would consider revisiting.

Beach Villas are heaven. Breakfast is delicious. Staff is really nice. Park is very expensive, over touristy and I highly recommend a car or you will be stuck with a very overpriced range of options with the hotel guides, unless you just want to relax on the beach for a few days in the park.

Amazing and we wish we had more days here at this location. Everyone was nice and helpful. Make sure to book a beach villa (it is worth it)!!!!

Great place to wind down. Clean, great service and lots of activities, food was excellent

Breakfast the best we had in Bali, staff very nice and always ready to help. Stayed in Monsoon lodge, rooms not sound proof, family next door made noise whole night and I couldn't sleep, the lady was coughing and I could hear it inspite of the heat pump on. Snorkelling, bike rental and ferry to Menjangan Island can be arranged from hotel but is expensive and you better off going somewhere else. Taxi also expensive so better off arrange taxi prior.

Very very special place to stay!! The staff were incredible and we felt so welcome on our short weekend stay. The land environment around the hotel was gorgeous but very sadly most of the coral was dead (we saw fishermen just by where we were snorkelling which I wouldn’t expect to see in a protected national park) and we were surprised that you had to pay to use snorkels and masks. The bikes were also in a bad way. Overall I think the place could do with a bit of investment from management to refresh some of the facilities (e.g. glass roof over the baths) seeing as you would expect things to be perfect for the price you pay. Would definitely recommend to those looking for a quiet and peaceful escape.

This place is a real paradise, lovely staff good food and amazing snorkeling right off the hotel jetty (we saw turtles!!)

We started our four day stay in a room by the pool (restaurant 2k's away but the transport was very easy). However, after a few issues with the room the hotel upgraded us to a beach side lodge, which transformed our stay. We couldn't have asked for more: breathtaking views, the sea was steps from our lodge which our six year old loved. The beach-side restaurant - great food - was a stone's throw. We were looked after by the water sports guide, Wayan, who was amazing. He took us snorkelling off the reef at Menjangan island, kayaking and snorkelling off the jetty and made our son's first snorkelling experience a life-time memory. We absolutely loved the hotel once we were on the beach and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and lovely. The only scare was when my hubby got caught in a rip tide off the jetty (it was super windy) so caution is needed when swimming off the jetty if it's windy and the tide is going out. The hotel took on board our experience and will be upgrading the safety equipment so that it is accessible on the jetty itself.

Best hotel I’ve stayed at. Excellent attention to detail.

I wasn’t really fully concentrating when I booked the hotel. I had extended my stay in Bali and needed a quick reservation in which to stay after checking out from my hotel in Ubud. Pressed for time, I just logged in, searched for diving in Menjangan, and found this hotel with a few nice pictures. What a fantastic surprise I got upon arrival! Bali Tower (the reception) feels like a rebel watch tower on the forest moon of Endor straight out of the Star Wars movie Return of the Jedi. Dense forests surround it and what a breathtaking view it has of the sunset! The staff are all extremely polite, cheerful, and professional. The supervisor Gelgel is keen on making you comfortable and happy and addresses any whim or concern you might have promptly and decisively. The 5 star PADI diving centre is efficient and well run. The instructor Jenny is highly capable and has a laser beam focus. You will be in good hands. The food and cooking is excellent. Very tasty with a variety of Indonesian and international plates to suit everyone. The overall atmosphere is one of peace and tranquility. A great retreat in which you can relax, rejuvenate, and work on improving yourself mentally and physically where you can learn diving, study for your PADI certifications, go horseback riding, cycling, trekking, and kayaking. I originally booked to stay for ten days but was enjoying the place so much that I pushed out my check out date for an additional week!
