Maha Hills Resort by Mahaprana Experience

Staff are amazing, especially many thanks to Catur who helped us with multiple things like giving valuable recommendations, driving us to the Aling-Aling waterfalls and accompanying us to our next step with the hotel’s transportation that we selected. The hotel is located at a good stop for views and being really in nature. It is true that daily transportation is not the easiest due to being on a hill with a very narrow climbing road but the hotel tries their best to fit to your needs by offering their transportation service that I think also not extreme prices. As a note, going to Singaraja from souther parts of the island costs both mentally and physically, but if you go it has really valuable destinations for a 2 day around I would say. We had around 10 days on the island and selected it for 2 days and don’t regret it. Lastly, hotel’s restaurant is amazing with many selections.

The physical conditions in this hotel were nowhere near a 4-star one. Our towels were torn apart in multiple points due to being old actually. Besides, there was like a warning in the bathroom that if we stain white towels there would be an extra charge at check-out. For that reason they also put black towels for cleaning makeup etc. I mean.. this is a 4-star hotel and you charge for towels while your towels are already torn apart? This is for me an irony. Besides, at check-out they really enter into your room to check if everything is okay.. this feels weird. The hotel is surrounded by a really dense forest, and there is a higher presence of lizards. I can’t blame the hotel for this, but our balcony door was not fully closing and even if we locked down that door, from middle section a bee entered in the evening and went by also the curtains and we had to cope with it. Later the following day we squeezed paper towels in all the openings and still, the following day we woke up and a cockroach was on the ground, luckily dead. The rooms are not fully enclosed and if you’re really fearing these insects, maybe look for other options. Overall the doors furniture and other stuff in the room was old. To hotel management: it is easy to hide behind the nature concept, but truly you must consider a renovation. Overall, I would really give a 5 out of 10 to this hotel if it were not for the people it has.

First of all, the location is perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful place with a view you normally only can dream about. The people who are working there make you feel like home and do everything what they can to make hour stay the best you could wish for. No request is to much and always done fast and with a smile on their face! I’m sure i’ll be coming hete again!

The location was remote but only 25 minutes scooter ride from north coast. It was quiet and had stunning views of mountains and rice fields.

The resort’s restaurant wasn’t as good as some more local cheaper restaurants.

Beautiful hillside location, plants and flowers everywhere and the room was a lovely space with comfortable bed and huge bath. The staff in the resort and restaurant really went out of their way to make me feel welcome and cared for throughout my stay, so friendly and helpful. Activities, spa and yoga on site were amazing. The infinity pool was stunning and restaurant had great variety of food.

Nothing- it was perfect
