NusaBay Menjangan Reviews

An eco resort in a national park with Balis best snorkelling a short boat ride away! Cute cottages, open air restaurant steps from the beach, pool, day spa, and day Activités can be organised through the helpful staff. Restaurant serves Balinese and Western food, with affordable prices. Deer and black monkeys hang out in the resort grounds. If you’re looking for a getaway that’s actually away from it all, check Nusa Bay out! Note: a) boat access only with a boat leaving about four times a day. There’s Balinese white Starling (critically endangered) in the trees around the mainland boat harbour. b) beach has lots of coral so it wouldn’t be great for little kids to play in the shallows, but there’s a nice pool!

New experience stay at NusaBay Menjangan, this the only hotel located at Taman National Bali Barat. Only 1 access to reach hotel, i parked my car at Labuan lalang and take boat provided by hotel around 20 mins. Feels like stay at private island , all rooms are bungalow with jungle or ocean view and beware because this located in Taman National, so i can found “mejangan” deer , monyet abu and monyet hitam/lutung but all animals it’s not aggressive.. The rooms is quite nice but the air conditioner a bit hot.. maybe because the area so hot.. but don’t worry all curtains is blackout.. so the sunshine can’t go inside the room. Housekeeping also do the turndown service. The next day i did the 3 hours jungle tracking with add fee pay at hotel. They also have packages rate include the lunch. After tracking, i just enjoy the beach.. and snorkeling , collecting shells and saw the fullmoon. All service and staff are excellent!! Worth to try if you want to stay in another level.. but I recommend to stay mins 2 nights, because if you from south bali or airport it will takes around 5 hours drive and 20 mins boat to reach the hotel. Recommend for couple trip or single trip if you need some me time.. ahhh forget to info all bungalows no TV.

Very good treasure hotel, single-family villa, great diving experience, and thoughtful hotel management staff. The only regret is that I only stayed for one day. I hope to stay for a few more days next time.

Heavenly hotel, the setting is magnificent in the midst of animals. The staff is helpful and professional, the restaurant is very good and we thank Suny for his kindness and the surprise for my husband's birthday. Thank you to the 2 Poutou for the very beautiful snorkeling in Menjagan….

Great.

The place was great, great personel, rooms, nature! Friendly animals, deers, wild pigs, black monkeys, coral reef. Pool works till 8:30 now. Food is good. Free snorkeling equipment. Room is equipped with everything needed. Without traffic only 3 hrs from airport.

This is in a national park and has a spread out campus. Choose where you stay wisely and if possible hire a car. We had a very relaxing 10 days because we wanted to completely disconnect. We were surprised to discover that swimming in the sea is not easy (very low tides and rocky bottom littered with sharps) but there is a section where the rooms are around a swimming pool. Loved all the deers and wildlife, except the monkeys who regularly raid rooms if the door is unlocked. The restaurant at the Octagon next door is better eating and we went there instead. We also bought our grog at a nearby store and saved heaps that way. If you drive from the airport, don't take the coastal road. Drive via the mountains, and be patient. there are no highways it is single lane each way most of the drive and it can take 3 hours to travel the 150ks.

It felt like a very unique experience and a privilege to spend 2 days at this resort. Snorkeling right in front, I found a family of clown fish, a reef shark, a barracuda and many colorful fish and coral that were in decent condition. Not as amazing as we saw on adjacent Menjangan Island but, very impressive still. While having lunch, a deer wandered past my table, probably 4 meters from me, and a pack of black monkeys were peacefully feasting on a tree in front of the restaurant. What a sight! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Almost all of the food I had there was tasty, with the only exception being a grilled sea bass that I should have avoided. It was tough like the sole of a shoe, or an extremely overcooked squid. When I was chewing it desperately, I recalled a German guest's review about the exact same thing. He was right, the fish dishes are best to avoid at this resort. But, my overall experience at this resort was great and I can honestly recommend it to everyone who appreciates nature and a peaceful, relaxing environment. Yes, the trip from the south is rather long: about 4 hours. But, because I drove myself in a rented car, the journey was full of sights and experiences that made the trip to Labuan Lalang (where the resort's boat picked me up) more than worthwhile.

We stayed for 4 nights in a garden bungalow. The hotel arranged transportation from our previous hotel in Munduk to the island, we got here so we could take the boat at 12.15. Our garden cottage was ready when we came. The inside is quite nice but the porch has seen better days, but its still functional. There is a metal box in the room where you can store things that might attract animals. The mosquito net around the bed is quite sturdy so we felt save from any possible intruders during the night. Food selection is limited but in all fairness its a remote location and there isnt many tourists yet. However, all food has been good. Prices a bit higher then expected. A large beer 75', a small coke 30' and nasi goreng 85' (without the additional taxes). We saw lots of animals just in the hotel area. The deers come by daily for water. The grey and black monkey could be seen sometimes. Snakes, bugs, spiders etc the usual suspect in the nature. Not to mention the abundance of butterflies. Most annoying was the amount of small cockroches at the restaurant, they go all over the table, your legs, hair everywhere. Hoping this was just an isolated incident with nature and we were unlucky. Due to its being in a national park you aren't allowed to leave the resort without a guide. And it's quite pricey to get a guide. We took a 2h walk with the guide, it was nice to see more of the island, he can take you to a high point with great views. Best part of this resort is the snorkling, its pretty good just of the pier. However, there isn't much of a beach so if you wanna go for a dip best place is off the pier. There are a few sunbeds on the beach and some at the pool.

I have never taken a trip so far from home. So I was very afraid of it. As I quickly noticed, you don't have to be afraid. All the people of the hotel are friendly at all times and want the best for you. They treat you like you're part of the family. Unfortunately we were only there for a short time. It was beautiful. You can relax and see monkeys or go diving in the sea. There are also small events of the hotel, e.g. Snorkel tour that you have to book separately. If it wasn't so far away and expensive I would love to come back every summer. Because the people are very close to my heart. They even carry the suitcases into the room and try to do everything. I had the best time there and was able to laugh a lot. The trekking tour was very interesting and well maintained by Suparjana. I'm at a loss for words it was so well done. I recommend it to everyone. I'll give you at least 5 ⭐️ preferably more.

Booked this place as our last stop during our 2000km road trip from Jakarta - East Java - Bali. Annoying: - didn't inform us that we'll need to take a boat and leave our car at the port. It's a 15-20 minute boat ride through very clear waters as fishing not allowed in National Park area. Google map suggests that we can drive to the resort, this was not the case. - Monkeys, i hate monkeys they steal everything so never leave anything open/unlocked. - as it's an isolated place, not much food options. Would be great if we can do bbq at our beachfront villa - it's a $35 extra charge if you wanna visit Menjangan island, a small island near the park. You can snorkle or dive there.. You'll get cheaper pricing if you go from Banyuwanyi - also extra charge of $35 if you wanna take the boat after certain hours Awesome: - The resort is part of the national park so you'll often find deers - amazingly clear waters - great price for the view - perfect if you love quiet or romantic I would recommend staying here at least 2 nights but get your food and logistics ready especially if you're on keto like us

One-liner: Awesome resort to stay, relax and enjoy nature and peace. Would we stay here again: Yes, definitely! What we liked: Only accessible by boat, this small paradise was very nice for relaxing and sight seeing in West Bali National Park. It is a small bungalow resort where monkeys / deer's would travel through throughout the day. Directly from the resort you can step into the sea and do some snorkeling. From the resort you can also go snorkeling to Menjangan which was really beautiful. The bungalows were very nice and clean, staff was friendly, it was just great! Improvement: Because you are in a resort and cannot go off the island in the night (unless you pay, there are fixed times when the boat travels which are free) you are restricted to only the food they provide at the restaurant. Prices are OK, but still. Definitely recommend people to bring some chips, snacks and drinks with them, naturally there isn't a supermarket. Also note, that every time you leave the resort by boat and you would re-enter, you would have to pay the entrance fee of the West Bali National Park, since the resort is IN the park itself. However, it is also unlikely that you would leave the park during your visit, but nonetheless something to keep in mind.

The location is quite unique, with some wild life and close to Menjangan ( to dive). The room are very nice, good service and a quite/ relaxing environment. Be aware to relax and diving/snorkling this place is very nice to stay, but you are fixed to activities and restaurant of the resort. The food in the restaurant is good. The track is quite nice to make, most times you see the black monkeys, deers and also the Bali Bird. The deers, black and gray monkeys will slso come in the resort (especially in the dry season).

Hotel was wonderful and the bed was extremely comfy. Staff was wonderful. Room was very clean. The natural park is the best place to relax! You can visit the hotel only by boat, there are no streets to it. I also can highly recommend the blue corner diving center. We had a wonderful diving trip and the diving-staff was also very friendly.
