Minabali Bunga'lo

Visied 26 - 29 Dec, 2022 “Only if you want to live in jungle (big bugs, big lizards, mosquitoes, etc, daily egg/bread only bfast)” Minabali is nice and quiet, Room is spacious, However it is quite out of the way and not possible to walk out to Main Street so need to take car to restaurant/shop, quite inconvenient. Not pleasant to walk the dark and Sandy/muddy road from Minabali to main road (think about 10 minutes walk for me). Room has only big wardrobe but no side table for laying luggage or small stuff. Was difficult for me to squat on floor to take things out from luggage. Was also difficult to bend down to floor level to get things out from luggage. Our room is not well maintained, Ceiling fan and bed lights not working with broken door handle to toilet (almost cut myself; if not careful). No hot water and had to request for repair. After repair, Water flow was sudden very hot and sudden cold, makes shower unpleasant, Bath towel had spiders crawling on them, Housekeeping should check all these before guest check in. Breakfast was limited to stale/very dry toast with eggs, although online did mention availability of bacon; nasi goreng or mee goreng. If you don’t mind eating dried toast and egg every day. Juice and hot tea/coffee is available though. Big bugs crawling around, sometimes hornet bees flying by, big lizards/gecko making noise, mosquitoes, etc. Nice for those who like jungle life and can accept the inconvenience to move around by foot. Suited for those who enjoy living among insects! We came for diving and were recommended to stay at Minabali, unfortunately not our cup of tea. If we ever return, will be happy to stay beside dive shop in smaller room but convenient location.

It was our second trip to MinaBali and we weren't disappointed again! Rooms are spacious and clean. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was adequate. Thank you for a wonderful experience again!
