The Jeti Mangrove - Ecolodge, Cottage, Restaurant & Kali Biru, Blue River

Nicht schlecht aber auch nicht überragend

Etwas hoch im preis für die Ausflüge

- Scenic surroundings: Mayalibit Bay is truly beautiful and peaceful, despite occasional disruptions (boat traffic, fireworks, construction). - Meals: Food was tasty and reasonably priced at 50k per meal. - Private boat tour to the blue river: A highlight of our trip, offering privacy and a lovely experience, but not cheap. - Service efforts: Staff worked to accommodate requests and organized transportation efficiently, even on Christmas Day. - It was no problem to cut our trip short.

- Bungalow discomfort: Hot and poorly ventilated, with ineffective air conditioning. - Pollution: Waters were polluted, snorkeling was not a good experience. - Kayaking experience: Strong currents made exploring past the blue river unsafe and exhausting. Information on this was lacking. I do not recommend venturing further out with the kayak than past the mangroves or the village, the currents are really strong and dangerous. - Limited activities: Fewer things to do than expected; we ended up shortening our stay. - Language barrier: Staff spoke little English, making communication difficult, so you should bring a translation app. - "Ecolodge" mislabeling: No noticeable sustainability efforts despite the name. - Cultural promotion: Cultural displays felt more like tourist attractions without clear explanations. I would have liked some more information on the owners’ involvement with the Mentansan Foundation, supporting local education. While the homestay has potential, it’s suitable only for a brief visit but would benefit from improvements in sustainability and guest guidance.

Le cadre est exceptionnel, le personnel est très serviable et Bleu River est vraiment proche.

À notre arrivée, nous n’avions qu’une chambre sur les deux réservées…ils ont tous de même réussi à trouver une solution…cependant, un des cabanons avait une porte d’entrée qui se bloquait quand on l’ouvrait et qui par conséquent, ne se fermait pas. Ce même cabanon avait sa lumière principale cassée et il était très compliqué de faire fonctionner les toilettes et les douches (dans les 2 cabanons !). Enfin, les repas sont bons, mais il n’y a pas de choix et le tarif est élevé.
