Puri Mangga Sea View Resort and Spa

We were welcomed and led to our wonderful room with indoor washbasins and outdoor shower. Nice big bed with mosquito net we did not need. After a dip in the pool we were treated to a relaxing Balinese massage by Uchi and Wayana. And then it was time for dinner. A special table with a stunning sunset view out to the sea. And a well-prepared and tasty meal. Breakfast was wonderful with a smoothie, fresh fruit, eggs and bacon, delicious warm bread with jam and honey. This place left us very happy and we would have loved to stay longer. Must be one of the best in the area.

I stayed in their cheapest room, because I fell in love with the pictures of their Lumpung room right a ay. It’s as cute as the pictures so I loved that. The pool is great too! It’s really a Resort: all facilities or extras (welness, activities, restaurant) are present and ofcourse a bit more expensive than when you self organise. But for the traveller who wants to relax and not to worry about those practicalities, this is a great place to stay!

My lumpung room smelled a bit funny but not too bad. (Not good or bad:) Be aware that you need a scooter or transport/use the shuttle service if you want to visit the town, the resort lies 3km from the center. But again, given the resort set-up & facilities you could just stay in.

This hotel is a little treasure nested on the hills of Lovina far from the crowds but close enough with beautiful ocean views. The Spa is absolutely amazing, the staff was very nice and the pool area was very nice and relaxing. The rooms were very nice and decorated with taste. Breakfast was also delicious. We were a group of 7 and had some rooms and the bungalow. To be noted that the bungalow does not have air con but did not stop our kids to have a good night sleep.

At 5:45am the hinduist prayers woke us up but I guess this is part of the Bali Charm ;-)

There are many things to list here: 1) The staff and their attitude. They are welcoming and provide help and assistance to make our stay and time at the resort comfortable. 2) The food: Freshly prepared and with attention to detail. Flavor and taste profile was perfect. The mix fruit juice combination was simply amazing. 3) Seclusion: Though at times you could hear 2-wheeler noises, other than that it is very quiet and gives you a good private time with yourself and your loved ones. 4) Wi-fi: Connection was available all across the resort. 5) View: Simply the best… Specially from the pool area. 6) Spa: Though we could not use it due to our short stay, the location and view from the spa area was amazing. 7) Dolphin Watching: The boat arranged by them and the captain was really good… The captain took us on a good ride and we saw at least 50+ dolphins. The captain also was very sportive and did not mind taking us deeper to have a closer rendezvous with the dolphins.

We were the only family in the resort, so it felt a bit spooky in the night as the resort is in a secluded space surrounded by flora and fauna, don’t be surprised to hear weird sounds made by the unique insects found in tropical places. We stayed in a 2-bedroom villa with open shower, at night there was a thud on the bathroom door that leads to open shower. We assumed it to be some animal considering its proximity to thick foliage and flora. Nevertheless this is not a negative point but us coming from city are usually not used to this so it would feel a bit spooky.

Up in the hills with a beautiful view over the ocean, food was delicious (we didn't bother to eat anywhere else!) Rooms were traditional and very clean with an outdoor shower area. Staff were amazing, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Go and see Uchi for the best massage in Bali. 😊

It was a little noisy at night with a call to prayer about 5.30am. We didn't think much of Lovina itself so stayed at the beautiful resort most of the time.

Great location with beautiful view over the north coast of bali. Amazing, big rooms with tasteful furnishings. Good pool. The staff is extraordinary, we felt like staying with family at home. They are super friendly, helpfull and symphatic. The food is very tasty and every day fresh made. The Spa is absolutly worth a visit. Beautiful sights for daytrips nearby.

Not a minus for us, but for information: Since you are staying in a gardenlike area in the nature, there could also be some small animals or insects in the room, for exemple a gecko. But this is nature, so no problem for us. The hotel is a bit hard to find.

Puri Mangga is a familial resort, very calm, with a beautiful sea view. The pool area is amazing, quiet, and near all the bungalows. We can feel at home ! Our stay was amazing thanks to the kindness of the staff and the delicious dishes we ate. The cooker is so good ! We had an excellent welcome drink and always delicious fresh food for dinner. The service is so great and the staff very warm. We booked for the lumbung because we cannot imagine travelling in Bali without testing this kind of room, and it was so funny ! We had a comfortable stay for 2 nights, with everything needed. The bed and room is very clean. Even if it is small, it is well organised and we have spaces for our clothes and belongings inside. The exterior bed area was cool at the candle light in evenings. Puri Mangga organised our transfer from the previous hotel and it was very comfortable. I also did a body scrub, Balinese massage and flower bath at the spa and highly recommend it ! It was an amazing experience in a natural place with a nice view. The therapist was so nice and did excellent job ! We think you have to experienced Puri Mangga when you are travelling in Bali !

The shower is a little bit old and the water cannot flow properly. The toilets could have been cleaner.

Beautiful setting and gardens with amazing sunsets. Kitchen went out of their way to prepare vegan meals. Spa staff of Uchi and Wayana are incredibly skilled and so lovely. Overall it was the people - Mely, Rose, Rodi, Gede, Marta, Komang, Yuss, Uchi and Wayana - who all contributed to such a relaxing break. Thank you!!

More vegan/vegetarian options on the menu would be great.

We had a delightful room overlooking the pool, but with plenty of privacy. Outdoor bathroom was lovely. We ate at the restaurant regularly and were not disappointed. The gas ran out on the hot water unit for a while, but it was rectified once alerted - not that you need hot water in this climate! Massages were an unreal experience, sooo relaxing.

Nothing really. We did try to get the dvd working but it had me stumped, so I read a book.

The view, sunset, outside bathroom, nature, massage & pedicure, free shuttle, friendly, helpful, warmly welcoming staff, freshly cooked food,

From our point of view it is partly a bit rusty and it is more a couple retreat than a place for families with smaller children.
