La Joya Balangan Resort

The stay in La Joya is a wonderful experience. The bungalows are very private with large personal space, the staff is extremely diligent in guaranteeing a top notch experience and the view from the restaurant and the pool is outstanding. It also has an easy access to the beach, from up the cliff, and to view points. The restaurant food was also a great positive, with an amazing breakfast (6 different menu options to choose from).

The service is the best in my opinion. The environment is very comfortable and the scenery is very good. It is close to the sea. It's a pity that we came during the rainy season and didn't see the sunset we wanted. But this makes me determined to come again next time.

Sunset view, great private pool, tasty food and nice cocktails in the bar

The location is excellent. Balangan beach is a quiet area with just a few hotels nearby and some warungs on a beautiful and somewhat secluded beach. La Joya has its own beach access from an adjacent paddock where the lovely Balinese cows graze in the mornings and there are yoga classes in the evenings. There are 2 pools in the resort, both of which are nicely sized and well designed, set within beautifully maintained grounds that feel like a big tropical garden. Most rooms are private, detached villas with a deck and a garden screened from view by banana palms and other tropical plants. The villas themselves are very attractive and generously sized with comfortable king size beds and a great day-bed for lazing around and reading. There was good water pressure in the showers, air conditioning, a great mosquito net - everything needed to make the villa a comfortable place to relax. The best part of the resort is the staff - they were helpful and very friendly but not intrusive, providing whatever you ask and treating you kindly. Puspa, Martini, and Loly on the front desk and Komang in the restaurant were very helpful during our stay and lent the resort a very warm atmosphere - the best of Balinese hospitality. Also, the masseuses at the on-site spa were especially good. We came back for massages every other day and were fabulously pampered by Prama and Putri.

The property was ideally situated very close to the beautiful beach of Balangan! The amenities were excellent and the staff were all incredibly courteous and helpful! The two swimming pools were stunning and we would be delighted to return in the future!
