The hotel is very remote, as are the rooms. Monsoon garden is around 4 mins drive to Bali tower, you can sit and enjoy the view, however seating on upper floors is not very comfortable. Also no staff came up to see if we wanted another drink, had to walk down to the bar. If you wish to go to the beach area, you have to call for transport as that is around 10-15 min drive away. The hotel say that there is wildlife in the forest and has pictures We did see a small amount of monkeys, but saw more on the journey through the mountains to get to hotel. The beach is tiny by the jetty which is actually a pontoon and had a few bits of rubbish floating and washed up, there were no rubbish bins and did not see anyone clean it. There is another small beach near the mangrove area and restaurant. There were also leaves on the floor in the tower, this is inevitable due to location, however could have been swept up, the hotel was not busy and staff weren’t either. Have plenty of bug spray as got bitten quite a few times. The monsoon gardens has a lovely pool but there are no facilities to have a snack, you need to go off site to the tower or beach. Lighting is poor in the rooms and around walk ways from beach restaurant to bus, also on the stairs areas in monsoon gardens and the tower. There is a lack of mirrors too, only one in the bathroom. We were woken by a drunken group, phoned reception twice, who phoned them. Eventually they quietened after 45 mins, then started dragging furniture around. There are activities here to do. I would only recommend a short stay though, and have beach room. Recommend to people I know probably not, return visit no. Saying that the staff were excellent and friendly. The food was lovely too.
