Mimpi Resort Menjangan

Great resort, amazing staff, but too remote for us. We wanted beach access or snorkelling and thiught we would have it but the closest beach was at least 15-20 min walk away (assuming you didn't get lost on back roads). We had one issue with a group that must have been there for a conference / wellness retreat having activities in open air spaces and they were way too loud for other peoples enjoyment. We asked for a room change to somewhere quieter and management were amazing in accommodating this change. It wasn't as if we could readily escape from the resort. There was nothing around other than a couple of sub par warung and a bad massage place down the street. We enjoyed the snorkelling around the point of the mangroves Menjangan Dynasty Resort but the walk was too far so we only did the one trip there. Likely a great destination for people who want to chill at the resort and do little else. Loved the comfy beds and outdoor seating areas in the base level patio rooms (it was all that was available during our stay, but the villas look amazing). We also enjoyed use of the thermal pools late at night.

Location and parc is incredible. Rooms are very clean, hot tub area is beautiful. Staff of the restaurant was amazing. Very nice with kids, good place for families. Very nice spa

We loved our room, it felt truly romantic to us. The bed came with a canopy mosquito net, which added to the charm. In room 103 there was space to add an extra bed, though in my opinion it’s not suitable for children under 7, as the stairs to reach it are more like a ladder. The air conditioning worked perfectly. In the bathroom there were wall hooks for towels and a rack to hang wet swimwear. The Balinese-style semi-open design was beautiful, with a door leading through the garden in front of the room. This was very convenient after soaking in the private hot spring, as you could access the bathroom directly from outside without going through the bedroom. The room also had a refrigerator and a kettle, which was very convenient. The unit had its own gate that could be securely closed and locked from the inside, offering total privacy. Right in front of the bedroom was the private hot spring bath, along with a traditional joglo fitted with a mattress perfect for relaxing, lounging, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We checked in late, but it was no problem The hotel grounds are quite spacious, so it takes a short walk to reach the restaurant. For guests, there is also a larger hot spring pool outside the rooms, a regular swimming pool with beautiful ocean views, a spa offering massages, a gym for those who want to stay active, and even a diving operator for exploring the underwater world.

The resort is beautiful and very well maintained. There are several pools at different temperatures and the views are amazing. We visited early May so most of the time we had the place for ourselves. The views from the harbor are amazing and our Patio room was very comfortable. The staff was very kind. We have used their bikes for free to go to the beach nearby which is very beautiful and appears to be used mostly by locals.

We had no package booking but the restaurant supplied excellent meals. And views over the bay were gorgeous. The pools were set in lovely locations but we were surprised they were all pretty 'warm'. I understand they are hot springs but was (maybe wrongly) expecting one cool pool. We travelled in November 2024 so that could also have affected the water temperatures. Mostly the feel/layout of the gardens and the quiet vibe and overwhelmingly friendly staff made it a joy to be there - and not noisy/busy (yet!). The bathrooms are private but open air and had a very nice tropical feel. The travel from Denpasar was long - around 5 hours. But we knew that and prepared our plans around it. We thought it was a bonus seeing so much of Bali on the way to Mimpi. This would be a difficult trip to make if you were heading off after a late afternoon flight and travelling in the dark! If you suffer from car-sickness then sit in the front and take precautions before the ride.
