We recommend this resort to anyone wishing to find some relaxing time in lovely surroundings. A great location, choose to stay and chill around the resort and private beach or just a short ride to other amenities. The accommodation is clean and spacious and very comfortable. The staff are outstanding and Dini goes beyond her role to make everyone happy, such wonderful genuine hospitality. We will certainly be going back here in the future !! 😊
Breathtaking Location, Warm Staff – But Needs Improvement in Comfort and Value
Jiva Baluam is set in a truly stunning location nestled in a secluded bay with a private beach that feels like your own paradise. The natural beauty is overwhelming, and the bungalows are located right on the sand. It’s a place where you can fully disconnect and enjoy nature.
However, the resort is very remote – there are no alternative dining options within 30 minutes, so you’re fully dependent on the in-house restaurant. Unfortunately, the food quality doesn’t justify the high prices. The Indonesian breakfast (like Nasi Goreng) was okay, but the Western breakfast was quite disappointing in both taste and presentation.
The resort has been around for over ten years and is beginning to show signs of age. Some renovations would definitely enhance the guest experience. The bungalows are charming, but not well-equipped: there’s no fridge, which is a real downside given the isolation, especially since cold drinks from the restaurant are very expensive. Also, there’s no kettle – as an early riser, I found it frustrating that I couldn’t have tea or coffee until the restaurant opened at 8 a.m.
On the bright side, the staff are wonderfully kind and helpful, and the WiFi is excellent surprisingly strong for such a remote location.
In summary, Jeeva Baluam offers a magical natural setting and warm hospitality, but it would benefit greatly from thoughtful upgrades and a more guest-friendly infrastruct,
Le camp se trouve dans une zone calme et près de la jungle. Devant il y a une plage qui malheureusement est polluée par les déchets plastiques comme presque partout à Lombok. Nous n’avons pas pu nous baigner car trop de vagues et du vent. L’accueil et le service parfait. La journée il faut partir faire une excursion et rejoindre la pink beach (qui n’est pas rose si jamais!) La vous pouvez faire du snorkeling ou louer un bateau pour la demi-journée ( env 600’000 roupies. Cela vaut la peine pour d’autres spots où se rendre sur le boat resto floattng pour manger d’excellents lobster ! (Prix 400’000 roupies pour 3 pièces)
We have booked the facility for two nights but we only stayed for one night for the following reasons:
Hygiene: we found big rats in the room.
Location: very romoted and far from the city, it is actualy in the jungle.
Amenities: The electricity is on only for specific hours in the day which makes it very hard to enjoy your stay.
Food: very limited options with small portions and overpriced.
NB: after seeing the rats everywhere we lost appetite anyways.
However, the staff are very kind and friendly but they are not available after 10pm.
Safety: the area is full of snakes, monkeys, pigs, and street dogs which makes is it impossible to go for a walk or just to leave the room to enjoy the beach; the beach is not safe to swim ; we basically stayed in the room till next day and left immediately.
This hotel is trying to be the best. If you want to feel and get the quiet circumstance, this is one of the best hotel and location. It depends whether you can accept or not.
Der Blick ist jeden Tag einzigartig....das Personal ist sehr nett....manche Aktivitäten die angeboten wurden muss man alleine machen man wird gefragt ob man einen Guide braucht für mich als Europäer ist sowas selbstverstandlich... All inklusive ist das nicht wirklich keine Getränke bis aus Wasser sind inklusive...nur zum Frühstück der Saft ist inkludiert...liebe zum.detail.fehkt und einiges müsste erneuert werden...
Siamo tornati per la seconda volta in questo bellissimo resort immerso nella natura incontaminata e siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. Il resort è formato da 10 capanne situate in riva all’oceano. L’arredamento è contemporaneamente lussuoso ed essenziale. Ottima la pensione completa. Gentilissimo e molto disponibile lo staff che offre escursioni a tutte le spiagge vicine.
My partner and I stayed for three nights during our tour through Indonesia for a month. The food was outstanding and the staff very welcoming, friendly and always pleased to assist in anyway.
We did find that even though it's advertised as an "adults only resort" children were present. We have children ourselves, but It's a very couples type of environment so I'm not sure why anyone would want to bring their children there with couples honeymooning and others wanting a romantic place to go.
We did do all the activities and enjoyed them all from trekking, sunset at pink beach-two to snorkelling and kayaking at the other pink beach.
It's also worth checking that both transfers are included. We booked through hotels.com and only received a one-way transfer even though the Jeeva site says transfers are included. They said it was because we used hotels.com and it only includes one-way. This was unfortunate as I thought both came with our package and being it's in such a remote location, I believe both should be included.
All in all we really enjoyed our stay and even though it's expensive, you see where your money's going, fabulous food and staff. We would stay again for sure and I'd recommend it for couples wanting a romantic escape or honeymoon, not ideal for children and check the transfers.
Private beach with clear blue water and white soft sand. Food are very tasty, they do a great seafood dishes. Staff are very friendly, they will help u with everything. Highly recomended to do the short trekking activities, u will see amazing view.
Our stay at the hotel was very nice, we enjoyed the room and service, it was very relaxing. We missed having wifi as we could not respond to any urgent email, otherwise we liked Jeeva Beloam very much, the staff is very friendly and the room is spacious, bed is very comfortable.
This was one of the best hotel experiences I have had. This hotel is not your average hotel by any means. When they say remote... it is remote. Once you arrive to Lombok airport, you will have to travel approximately 120 minutes by dirt road to arrive to the property, but once there... relax is the word to describe. There I only 11 villas ( I would highly encourage to get either Villa 10 or 11. They have the best view and most privacy, but they are the ones furthest away from the restaurant). Every villa has direct access to the beach.... and its fantastic... white sand, turquoise water and waves (which I like).
Overall a place not to be missed. As I said.. one of the best places I've stayed. If you want to relax and reconnect.. go for it.. if you are looking to party, restaurants, and nightlife.... go to Bali.
