NusaBay Menjangan

This is the most magical one-of-kind place in the world. A peaceful oasis in nature. Watch black monkeys munching on leaves in the trees in front of your bungalow or above you in the trees as you laze in a hammock on the beach in the late afternoon breeze. Dine at the stylish open-plan restaurant with a family of gentle deer grazing nearby. And snorkel in coral gardens nearby where the colours of the coral amaze and mingle with fish of every hue- I even saw turtles, huge baracuda, giant hump head parrot fish, massive bartfish, colourful starfish and more. The bungalows are lovely- most perched a little way back from the beach on a rise under the shade of big trees. AC, fan, day beds on the private terrace. And housekeeping staff even come to turn down the big comfy bed and safely close the mosquito net every evening. The staff are amazing- well trained, super attentive, discrete, polite, and eager to make your stay even more memorable than the natural locations offers. They go out of their way to greet and to ensure your stay is the best it can be. Terima kasih to the re eption staff, the restaurant staff, the chefs, the housekeepers, the gardeners, the handy man, the sevurity guards, and the boatmen. The hike to the Park Ranger’s post, where I could see the endangered Bali starling and learn about the breeding program for re iving the population, was great. Lots of flora and fauna. However, one of the favourite parts of my stay- even the best - was the Blue Corner Dive Shop that is located at the land end of the amazing pier (I used to sit out on the pier to catch the breeze and look at the cute batfish slowly dancing around beneath). The dive masters, both called Putuh, were fabulous, as were all of the staff. Very professional and went above and beyond to put guests at ease, share information, and ensure everyone had the best time, especially when visiting nearby Menjangan Island marine reserve. They were never too busy for a friendly chat.

This hotel is a bit like entering one of those idilic screensavers on your computer. The waters are turquoise, the rooms are spacey, beds super comfy, breakfast is great, staff is friendly. Really can't say anything bad about this place, and it is great value for money. Go try it!

Amazing place, peaceful and quiet, in midst of wildlife, great snorkeling right off the pier. Nice to dip into pool afterwards! Comfortable and large beds with mosquito nets. Bathroom spacious. Watch monkeys from outdoor shower... Staff is extremely friendly, helpful and sweet - they surprised me with a birthday cake even though we hadn't told them about it (must have seen date in passport!). When we had trouble with AC, they came right away and fixed it. Transport with boat to hotel and back also worked impeccably - call in advance to make sure boat times are correct. Phone# on booking.com is wrong, check google for correct number. We don't agree with negative criticism of restaurant, food was good, different special every day, barbeque night was excellent. Prices are a bit high for Bali, true, but still incredibly cheap compared with back home. Didn't take a massage or any of the tours (due to negative criticism here) but a privately organized snorkeling trip to the island, well worth it. There was very little plastic in the ocean fortunately.

A little piece of paradise, its got a safari vibe. The rooms are big with nice bathrooms, super comfy beds and great views. Rooms get cleaned twice a day! Lots of wildlife running about, grey monkeys, black monkeys and friendly deer constantly roam the area. You can snorkel straight of the beach for free. Lots of activities to choose from, snorkelling/scuba diving on another island, bike rides, trekking, sea kayaking. The restaurant serves up a good selection of food and drinks. All the staff are really nice, I was really impressed by Susi as her service was impeccable 👌 It's a little piece of paradise. Was sad to leave.

it was such a magical stay! perfect 4 nights with our 2 year old twins! the staff was so kind and accommodating: everyone was super sweet to our children (Especially Ariani, the restaurant staff and Leah). We got a Nanny (Nanda) to look after the kids, while we went snorkeling and to the spa and that worked out perfectly: my children were hugging her after the 2 days and totally loved her. Even for a (well traveled) city mouse like me, it felt amazing to be in the middle of the nature, still with all comfort. If you’re hesitating because of the children or wilderness, just go! the water is so gorgeous, lots of snorkeling possibilities right at the hotel and in the day tour to menjangan! magical!! thanks to everyone for making us feel like home, in paradise.
