Okay, so I'm writing this review only 3 hours after I landed back in Jakarta from Lombok because I want everything to be coming out fresh from my head and my heart. I have to be honest, I was hesitant at first when my friend decided to stay in this ”beach camp” for her birthday getaway trip. Something she called as to reward herself for all her hardwork in years (she's never taken any borthday leave before, FYI). But boy, this girl was so much mistaken. There's nothing else to describe my 4 days 3 nights stay at Jeeva Beloam besides ”unforgettable pristine beach location with the friendliest and most helpful, most accommodating hospitality staffs I've ever met in my whole life”. I travel a lot for work and I jump from one hotel to others in matter of days so much in a year. But I'm not much of a complainer and this place has nothing to complaint! Like seriously, I don't do bugs, esp flying bugs. But I even make friends with the bugs here. And it's still not the best thing here. First of all, the remote location. Not much signal, but they have wifi at the restaurant which is perfect. I get to choose when I would like ”to be involved” in the real world :) and it is just totally perfect for anyone wishing to have quiet and relaxing holidays. Don't forget the limited electricity as well. They have generators running several times of the day and full-coverage in the evening. Then, the beach. Very pristine beach. Clean. Well taken care of. And beautiful majestic view. I have to admit that the waves can be quite hard at times so kids should be under very strict supervision. But I just looove this private beach. And the staffs! Very genuine, warm-welcoming, accommodating, friendly, and the most helpful people I've met. Despite all the limitations and restrictions there are because of the very remote location of the property, they always try to meet all of your tiny little requests and I love that about them. They know you by name, they remember ur habits (I always ask for ice cubes for my water and hot water at night). It's something you don't get from big-chain hotels and I live for this manner. The food are amazing! I had my favorite sate rembiga and nasi ayam kemangi. And you should try the fried noodle (mie goreng) for breakfast. It's very tasty. On the last night of my stay, I even had steamboat party with the rest of the guests. Some suggestions: - might be great to have movie nights together for the guests to add on the activities. - I personally like making my own tea/coffee. So maybe water kettle in the room/in the restaurant so guests can borrow? I'm really looking forward to coming back here more often in the near future. Shoutouts to Mahli, Jalal, Riadi, and all of the other very helpful staffs! Thanks for the endless hospitality. PS: they do secret surprises as well for your loved ones. Just arrange beforehand when you do the booking and you won't regret it. It was the most heart-warming moment of our stay there from the
Very Good
