Hotels Near Toko Perabotan in Bali

We stayed at Gaja Mina Resort Balian, in late June 2023. The place was underwhelming. The setting in a large rambling garden is quite lovely, with a walk out to the headland with great views but the resort's gardens and buildings are poorly maintained with piles of rotting compost, construction fences, partially cut trees (logs), scattered litter, unemptied rubbish bins, neglected and broken furniture and water features that were dried up or contained stagnant water infested with mosquito lava. My sons room was grim, concrete and basic, think prison cell, ill matched furniture, with a toilet that regurgitated what went into it (disgusting), a shower that only had cold water and gave you an electric shock when you used it. My room although quite charming in a traditional but dilapidated way had a family of cockroaches in the bedside table, most of the window stays and catches were broken. Without a shower screen or curtain, use the shower and wash the floor at the same time. Annoying and mould making. The lighting was so poor you could not read in the room. In the tropics its nice to sleep with fresh air under a mosquito net (yes there is malaria in Bali), but lack of flyscreens and only a duvet means you have to sleep with ac cold enough to justify a duvet. That’s energy efficient. NOT. There is a pool area with a bar. The bar was always closed and there was no staff to provide drinks (even in the restaurant next to it), so we got them from a local shop about 10 minutes walk away. The pool had mold all around the edge. I suspect they did not use chlorine in it. There was not enough umbrellas if more than two families were there. The restaurant food is ordinary and very expensive; the internal dining room smelt of stale food and damp. Everyone I saw requested salt and pepper to make the food edible, including on their pizzas. My prawns were only just edible, suffering greatly from blandness. The fresh coconut juice directly from a coconut tasted of water not coconut. When I brought it up with the staff he dismissed my concern. The restaurant was also the most expensive in Balian. Considering the waiters did not come to the tables to take orders, barely moved and provided the most meagre level of surly service, the 10% restaurant service charge included on the bill at the end was a complete mystery. Although our tariff noted that included return transfers to the airport, they wanted me to pay for it. 24 hours prior to leaving I provided my voucher to reception but they insisted I contact the resort Owner to sort it out. She did not answer my calls or texts; finally an hour before departure her only response was that she was in a meeting. She is a disgrace. This place is wildly over-priced, horribly neglected and staffed by the most unhappy people I met in Bali. Even the airport security staff were friendlier. It could be so much more.

Nice location for surfing, away from crowds Clean room

We stayed at Yama for a yoga retreat. They have their own yoga space, and the rooms were very clean and minimalist. The staff was so helpful and friendly. They absolutely made the stay even more memorable! Our food the entire stay was vegan, and being someone who ISN’T vegan, I can say that the food was awesome. I only wish I could eat like this back home. One thing to note is how far this place is from the airport. It is quite a distance! But it’s absolutely worth coming back to.

Quiet retreat next to the beach. Absolutely loved this place, a great place to go to just relax, unwind, and watch the surf. Check-in was without issue and the staff were accommodating. Room was basic and rustic, but was still fantastic. I was lucky enough to have a room that had a view of the beach, and an open air shower. Restaurant was decent, but unfortunately the restaurant across the road was closed for renovations. Top tip, bring some cash so you can visit the other restaurants behind the resort. Beach was special.

For this price catagory the guest rooms were very well decked out - TV, jug and coffee/tea, fridge, cool furniture, the first place in Bali (been coming to bali for many years) that had a nice duvet on the bed, not too hot just perfect ... shower and bathroom not the largest but all wonderful. rooms on ground floor opening up to inner courtyard pool area, so facilities all epic for price level. Breakfast was included just very simple though. We would recommend to the kitchen to work on their range of menu options and quality of cooking for lunches and dinners, it could be our choices of food so don't wish to judge the whole menu in any way. Other than that can recommend staying here, it's very close to beachfront, definately walkable.. as we travel for quite a while in Bali we are grateful to see accommodation facilities of this quality at affordable prices to work in with our budget.

A paradise on the shores of the Indian Ocean. Staff work and cleanliness are at the highest level. Great restaurant. Clean ocean! We lived alone in all the hotels; it was a pity that there were few people in a hotel of this level. There are many local villages nearby!
