Gajah Mina Beach Resort

“Very relaxing and excellent value.”

A very wonderful relaxing and revitalising 10 days. Food and staff were very good. All in a semi-rural location with very good surf. Old school Bali. Excellent value for money. Only downside is you are 3 hours+ drive from the airport. Well worth it. We will definitely be back.

“Stunning location but resort needs a bit of love”

After reading earlier reviews I was quite apprehensive about our stay at Gajah Mina. The location was stunning and more than made up for the many shortcomings of the resort. My husband and I stayed in one of the two honeymoon villas on the headland. The bathroom was seriously out dated but the views were so good we could overlook that. There wasn’t a mozzie net over the bed or screens on the windows which meant we chose to have windows closed and air conditioning on rather than enjoy the sea breeze at night. The food at the restaurant was a little overpriced but quite nice. Service was really, really slow but the smiling waiters made up for that. Patience and an early dinner is the way to go. However, the included breakfast was very poor. The pool was lovely and clean and there was ample shade. A new change room was being built by the pool but there wasn’t a lot of noise. I feel this resort is starting to bounce back and rebuild after COVID. If I stayed again I would probably take a villa near the pool or just come for lunch. As I said earlier the location is stunning but the resort needs to lift its game to match. If you can forgive it’s shortcomings and remember that you are in Bali and away from the crowds of kuta then I would stay here for one or two nights. Bonus for us was that an enormous Asia water monitor strolled past our room one afternoon.

I don’t really like writing bad reviews, but I feel it’s the right thing to do for someone who might be having unrealistic expectations. I stayed there with my wife, and two kids in the three bedroom villa with a private pool. The setting is beautiful, and the garden spacious, and it’s very quiet at night, although during the day there was construction of a new hotel next door (not their fault). The place was riddled with ants that would come out at night. The whole place was just a bit rundown and needed a good clean and lick of paint and proper clean. It was cleaned once in our three day stay only superficially. We had one meal in the restaurant and it took one hour to receive the children’s food, and then an additional hour to receive my wife’s and my food, seriously, we had to have it delivered to the room because we had to put the children to bed. It’s shame as the place has a lot of potential. We looked at other places in Balian to stay next time and found several that were much better value and clean.
