Wyndham Tamansari Jivva Resort Bali

I think it was good value for money, and breakfast was great, wide selection and good quality. I also had a wonderful quiet nights sleep, which is what was needed....

Its a shame that this resort has had bad reviews. We paid about $65 per night - really, what would you expect? It was probably very flash, a few years ago - but its in the tropics, things deteriorate. And it has. I also find it very odd that people complain that the staff don't speak much English - yes that's right! Because they are mostly Balinese! In general they try VERY hard to find a way to help in every situation. Sometimes they get it wrong. We found that they were incredibly accommodating and helpful. The breakfast is amazing - if you can't find something to eat amongst all the options.... you would have to be very hard to please. Yes, the pools are a bit tired. But the gardens are lovely. The views across to the ocean are stunning and the beds comfortable. I think that main issue that people have with this property is that for some reason it is rated as five star on some websites. It's not. But it is a lovely, quiet friendly place to go to relax. We used grab taxis - mostly because of the booking system. If you use grab though, be aware that the company takes about 20% of the fair so maybe flip the driver a few extra dollars.

Very spacious and quiet location away from the crowds. My room was renovated and was excellent. Good size, clean, new comfortable bed. The remodeled bathroom was very nice and good water pressure in the shower. The staff was all very friendly, nice and helpful I would say the interior of the rooms are excellent, but the outside needed a bit of updating but especially the pools. But the resort itself is very quiet and relaxing.

-The bed is very comfortable. -Water is hot and strong. -Nice beautiful view. -Very quiet.

Room was spacious and clean. For the price, the hotel was quite luxurious with many facilities (e.g. spa, pool, etc.). The sofas / chairs by the restaurant were comfortable (had a lot of good reading time there!). Swimming is not allowed at the beach (which makes sense given the huge shorebreak) but the hotel is right next to the beach and the view of Nusa Penida as well as the mountains in the back (Mount Agung, Mount Batur) were very beautiful. While there are not a lot of 'touristy' things to do nearby, I found this as a positive--the hotel was away from the usual hustle and bustle and provided a nice respite.
