MÖVENPICK RESORT & SPA JIMBARAN BALI

Happy to be Back to movenpick bali as our 2nd home in Bali. Check in was fast and great, thanks to ms dewi for greet us at check in and check out process. Junior suite will always the best room. Spacious, clean, big closet, big living room, and great coffee machine! There are lot of activities at hotel, thanks to mr. Sastra for yoga class. Really enjoyed to get class with him. The pool will be always fantastic, but please 6pm is too early for stop swimming. Much better to have longer time to swim. Breakfast was great, various food, excellent and helpfull staffs. Kids club? Wow... amazing.. my son can't stop asking to go there everytime we stayed at movenpick. Great job movenpick for keeping the quality and existence.

Went for a weekend escape with my fiancé and we were spoiled and pampered all the way from the beginning to the very end. We checked-in in the afternoon and were welcomed by the beautiful Jimbaran Bay view from the lobby. April did great job in making sure our check-in process was smooth and efficient. The traditional jamu kunyit welcome drink was also a nice touch, representing staple traditional Indonesian beverage. The Junior Suite we stayed in was immaculate and the welcome amenities were lovely and bespoke. We really did enjoy the sparkling apple drink and the varieties of seasonal fruit platter. The design of the room was smart, allowing the closet to be connected to the entrance hallway or bathroom - your choice! Being a big fan of hot tub also, the bath bomb was indeed a nice addition. One particular finesse that Movenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran offers is the decor in the room and public area. As an art enthusiast, the decor and art pieces in room, hallway, lobby, and other public areas are very well done. It reflects mix of modern and contemporary art, with influence of Balinese believes e.g. the Mandala artworks that can be found on Level 5 hallway to the room area. The pool is immense and we were lucky to have beautiful weather throughout our stay to be able to enjoy it. I can imagine how fun it would be with family as there are few water slides, attractions, and floaties around the pool area. The food and beverage outlets were all great and for long Movenpick has always been famous with its food and beverage quality. We managed to visit three outlets throughout our short staycation and enjoyed all three experiences. The best experience was in Katha Lounge, having nice drinks with the Jimbaran Bay evening view - so tranquil. The lady at Movenpick Cafe who assisted us was also friendly and engaging but we did not catch her name. To put everything in a nutshell, we were spoiled and pampered all the way. Special thanks to Pak Alfian Adriansyah, the Assistant Director of Guest Experience and Quality, who made this stay possible and for the memorable experience he created for us. Also to Dewi, the Duty Manager, who met us upon departure and ensuring we had great times during our stay there.

Our first time in the Movenpick Jimbaran and overall, we had a mixed experience during our 3 week stay. We travel 6 months a year for business and spend over 170 nights in Accor hotels. We’ve stayed in them all and this could be the best one in Bali, except for a few issues. On the plus side the hotel is immaculately clean and the décor amazing. Food is also very good and its only a short stroll down a quiet back lane to get to Jimbaran Beach. Side note: don’t eat the seafood from restaurants or mobile vendors on the beach – you will surely get poisoned which I and many of my friends have. Stick to the food in the hotel and you’ll be ok. There’s a labyrinth of relaxing pools, some with sandy bottoms, but they close at 6pm which is too early for holidaymakers. 8pm I think is more acceptable. Also, the pool bar staff could use a bit more training on how to make decent cocktails and they should broaden the beer selection ; not everyone likes Bintang! Unfortunately, being digital nomads, we rely heavily on Wi-Fi to do our job. This is where the hotel falls short. When occupancy levels rise, internet is highly unreliable. The TV stops working also. The team do everything they can to assist but I think the IT and entertainment infrastructure is insufficient for a five star hotel. The air-conditioning stopped working about a week into our stay also. After a few hot days of messing around trying to get it fixed they proposed we move to another room. However, the aircon didn’t work their either so we finally moved to another room where it was fine. Like all good Bali hotels, the staff make the experience enjoyable. Apart from the poor cocktails 😊 you can tell the team here have been trained exceptionally well and the GM should be proud. Special mentions for great service and happy dispositions go to. • Duty Manager: Astri & Dewi • Assistant Front Office Manager: Maicel • IT Manager: Dew • Recreation (Bicycle ride): Agus • Restaurant Waiter: Rio, Tyo and Eka Would we return. Yes probably. Definitely would return every year if a few of these issues were fixed. 😊

Lovely service from the staff since check-in. I stayed here for a weekend staycation with my family, we love the huge pool and big kid's playground. The breakfast was good and had a decent variety. The room had bathtub. Overall, it's a hotel that is fit for family guests with the facilities provided, with walking access to the Samasta food mall.

I tried yoga for the first time since I came to Bali. There were many difficult poses, but I was able to spend a very enjoyable time because they taught me carefully. After returning to Japan, I wanted to study yoga. If I have another chance, I would like to participate in yoga. Thank you for the wonderful time.
