The Menjangan by LifestyleRetreats

C’est une chance de pouvoir loger dans un parc national !

The staff

Rooms are a bit old

Staff is very friendly. Location is exceptional and I love the snorkeling

The road is a bit bumpy

Villa was spacious,comfortable, cozy. Two restaurants, one right on the water. Snorkel right off the jetty. Monkeys were cheeky but entertaining, very kind and friendly staff. Always available for whatever you may need. Shuttle bus was always available and easy between locations.

Nothing. Just be aware that the villas are not on a sandy beach. Rather scrubby, rocky, dry environment. It is in a national park, so natural area with monkeys to watch. Be aware there are two separate locations to stay. Monsoon lodge and villas. Shuttle bus .

If you are looking for a vacation far away from crowded beaches, this is the destination. You are welcomed by the most thoughtful and friendly staff imaginable who will do their utmost to accommodate you on your stay. Even the 'basic' room is large in comparison to other hotels and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need. Cleaning is done twice a day and the staff always leaves little details for you to find. The beachside villas are even grander and offer your own stretch of beach directly next to the sea. Even if you are not staying at the villas there exist a private stretch of beach for you to enjoy which is not crowded at all. If you want to go snorkeling, there exist a coral reef directly next to the beach. If you are lucky you may even spot a turtle there. The food in the restaurants was excellent, especially the sea food. As this is in the national park, you will also be able to spot many of its denizens, although the monkeys can come particularly close, but they wont bother you if you dont have food (so no bartering for stolen sunglasses).

To get from the normal rooms to the beach you need to wait for a cart to pick you up (You can call anytime for a pickup). This can be seen as an inconvenience, but it is well worth it for the unique location inside the national park. Monkeys will be monkeys and you will develop something of a conscience about their whereabouts around you. But its their national park and you will manage to absolutely relax regardless.

Good choice of activities; breakfast and dinner by the beach were great, We had a health problem (not caused by our stay there), and the staff was very helpful and attentive to our needs. We enjoyed very much the special organized balinese dinner, with a nice dance performance.

Beach Villas are so beautiful and peaceful. Beware of the monkeys, lock all the doors. Then the nature gives you an unforgettable show with unexpected animals showing up and the sea always breathtaking surrounded by the mangrove. The hotel offers free shuttles to navigate through the park and the different facilities, very useful and convenient. The restaurant is great with home made jam and croissants to die for at breakfast. A jewel overall.

Everything was perfect - staff food accommodation. Idyllic. Snorkelling trip & bird watching walk excellent.

Absolutely nothing!
