Hotels Near MTB TRACK GADUNGAN in Bali

It's always been my pleasure to come back to this resort, with its serene surroundings, warm and helpful welcome from the team, exactly what me and my best friend needs for our girl's time moment. Just a couple of glitches in our canopy room, like the shower on the bathtub on the rooftop, was leaking, the hotel sandals could be made better (because mine flopped twice) and the pump for the shower bottle was jammed. The rest...oh amazing! Definitely will come back!

Except that the sheets are not clean, there is nothing wrong with it, it is very suitable for long-term rental, because the hardware facilities are great! When I first arrived, I thought I was wrong. There was a small part of the decoration. At night, there was a pleasant piano playing in the next room. It was a very unexpected surprise.

A paradise garden with lovely people From the warm welcome you immediately feel at home while enjoying a nice welcome drink. The bungalows with beautiful flower names such as Lilly, Cempaka and our Bougenville are all spacious and have a large bathroom. The voluminous bed  wonderful mattress. The bungalows have a spacious veranda from where you can view the beautiful garden in peace. The plants, trees and flowers are of a diversity that you don't often see. It exudes tranquility, partly due to the nature sounds of the birds, the chikchaks, the geckos and many more species. You can also take an invigorating splash in the beautifully designed infinity pool. With Nyoman and Gede we did all kinds of trips that were offered to us for a small fee: hot water tubs, trackings through rice fields, to the various waterfalls. Everything is allowed, nothing is necessary. My wife also participated in the Yoga a number of times, both yin and yang. Nyoman offered us to undergo a ritual in the Hindu faith, a purification ceremony performed by an authorized man and a woman from Sesandan, the village. It was a privilege to experience this and surprisingly felt very liberating. We also relaxed a lot in the garden. Highlights we found the 3 meals that were served to us every day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Cynthia, Made and Tania keep preparing imaginative deliciously scented dishes. Tastefully prepared vegetables, lalapam, various satays, ajam dishes, tuna prepared in different ways, always accompanied by a delicious soup. And everything homegrown, including the rice, like we've never eaten it before, so tasty. Cynthia makes stimulating and several types of sambals for enthusiasts. I would almost forget the fruit with every meal. It was always a pleasure to go to the table. That was also due to the good humor of our hostesses and gentlemen. We have laughed a lot. They are such nice and lovely people.

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.

I stayed at Grand Sovereign Hotel Kuta Bali from Jul 11th to Jul 14th. The hotel was great, the service was excellent, etc, with only one miss: I forgot my laptop charger and left it in hotel meeting room. After I flew back home to Java, I finally realized that I forgot my charger and immediately look a way to contact the hotel. Well, the response was quick and one of the hotel staff, Ms. ANGEL/ANJEL kindly help and sent the charger back to me (I include the pics of the charger and the receipt of the delivery service). What a great post service! With this kind of service, I really recommend anyone to stay at this hotel. Thank you Grand Sovereign, Matur Suksma Ms. ANGEL/ANJEL. 👍👍🙏🙏

A beautiful place with so much potential but.... On our first night, we heard a rat going around the roof allllllllll night. We woke up and found rat poop everywhere even near bed. We asked for room change, and we didn't hear anything at night anymore after chaging our room, but every morning we found rat poops near bed. Also, not being able to use Grab is a huge issue. Local drivers charge ridicuolous amount of money so if you are planning to tour around ubud center, then this resort is not for you.

Quiet, safe and clean. Refurbished and feeling good. Pools are amazing. Staff are friendly, competent and eager to help. Right on the beach. Having been a frequent visitor over the years I am very happy with the incredible improvements over the last years. It just keeps getting better. If you want to relax and recharge, this hotel is superb. Get a tan, workout in exercise room overlooking beach, or treat yourself to a professional treatment at the Spa. It is close to the centre of Lovina (walking distance) but far enough so you dont hear music pumping in the early hours. I have been coming to Bali and Lovina for 30 years and my choice for a reasonably priced and well appointed hotel is Sunari.

What to say about this little Episode?...Well, it's quiet and peaceful and currently being renovated (with little disruption, it has to be said)... it's on the wrong side of the highway, so unless you want to dice with death, you need to bike or cab everywhere...the architecture is bizarre...form over function with a pool plonked in the middle...and rooms that really needed to be about 50% bigger for anyone who wants to properly swing a feline. Breakfast, robust and solid...especially if you're Asian...staff, obliging and attentive...a gym that's seen better days... an always empty restaurant that serves nice local food at a reasonable price...a big mega mall behind that's accessible from the hotel... and a booze-and-snack-filled minimart next door. What to say? ... it's nice. It's fine. It's a bit soulless and not very Bali...you can probably do better, but if you can't, it's grand.

Over all the staff is friendly and helpful. The location is right of the heart in Kuta Centre, Central Kuta Park is ideal. But don't shock if you have to pay many times of the parking fee because the hotel doesn't have any cooperation with the parking system around there, if you make it to stay at the hotel in the next door. They have included the parking fee for that hotel. Every day Kuta Hotel doesn't have that privilege, so you MUST pay extra for the parking fee! Room is basic, and ok. clean? as I have experience in 1217 room there were many stains and dirty on the bed sheets, the window isn't clean, and when you look outside. There was a dead mouse just right at the front. don't shock if the smells would be all around. The bathroom is ok, will take 2 minutes to get a hot shower, you need to re-setup again as it wasn't a warm shower but super-hot water. the drainage is clogging, you'll have a flooded floor because of it. and it will take few minutes to let them go. That was my experience staying at Every day, maybe you will have a different and good experience. I booked for Room Only as I leave super early for my flight, so I wasn't experiencing a breakfast as I don't book it as well. Will consider tor returning. not promise!
