Spa Hotels in Banyuwangi Regency

"- Please improve the soundproofing of the rooms in the future, as it's very disruptive: 1. The noise from neighboring rooms is extremely loud and easily audible. 2. Street noise is like watching an F1 circuit race in the middle of the night 🤦. I couldn't sleep all night. - The room's AC won't get cold unless it's set to the absolute coldest temperature and highest fan speed. We woke up in the middle of the night hot and sweaty, even though the temperature was set to 21 degrees with a fan speed of 3. After checking, the air coming out felt only about 20% cool. - Why isn't the shower screen full-sized? It's very inconvenient for showering because if the water pressure is a bit strong, it spills out and wets the entire bathroom floor outside the shower. - Please add a light above the desk in the room, either a ceiling light or a desk lamp. The room is always dark, and it's too dim if you need to use the desk."

"Banyuwangi truly is the ultimate ”sanctuary of stillness,” and ÉL Hotel Banyuwangi provides a beautiful, serene backdrop to experience it. I had a wonderful stay overall, and while there are a few areas where the hotel can step up its game, the foundation is absolutely there for this to become an exceptional property. 🏨 The Hardware & Facilities (Top-Notch!) On the physical side of things, the hotel completely delivers. The rooms are comfortable and well-designed, the gym is well-equipped for a holiday workout, and the swimming pool area is beautiful—perfect for soaking in the quiet energy of the region. 🍳 Food & A Soothing Morning Ritual The culinary experience was a highlight. The food quality was solid, and the local flavors were genuinely delicious. But my absolute favorite part of the morning was the outdoor breakfast area, where they offer fish feeding. Watching the fish move gracefully through the water while enjoying breakfast was incredibly calming and set a beautiful, soothing tone for the day. 🌱 Areas for Growth: Service & Sustainability To truly elevate this hotel to a 5-star luxury standard, there are two areas I’d love to see improve: Eco-Friendly Amenities: In a pristine destination like Banyuwangi, sustainability matters. Currently, the hotel is still using single-use plastic containers for bathroom amenities. Shifting toward refillable dispensers or biodegradable alternatives would align beautifully with the natural essence of the area. Staff Guidance: The young team members have incredible potential and are clearly eager, but they just need a bit more structured guidance and hospitality training. With the right leadership, this passionate young staff could easily turn good service into an exceptional guest experience. 🗺️ The Verdict Overall, I will absolutely come back! There is so much promise here, and I have high hopes that the team will take this constructive feedback to heart and continue to polish their service. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway in Banyuwangi, this is still a highly recommended spot. #ElHotelBanyuwangi #BanyuwangiTravel #SanctuaryOfStillness #WonderfulIndonesia #HotelReview #TravelBlogger"

"Excellent stay even only a day during Nyepi while waiting for trip to Bali the next day. I'd recommend the family villa for group travelers (families) before crossing to Bali as in high season you'll be spending at least 3 hours just for crossing from Ketapang to Gilimanuk."
