Bloo Lagoon Eco Village

Location, few issues with power but everything else was great, resort could do with some maintenance but still great

Views were beautiful. Great location in proximity to the port. Nice staff, good food. Beautiful accommodations.

Pros: The view of the mountain (if you are lucky that the clouds disappear) is impressive. Yoga space and having free yoga lessons were great. Free shuttle to town was great! Cons: It is called eco village but I wouldn't go that far. There are some sustainable practices like having own vegetable garden and refilling shampoo bottles but there are so many unsustainable processes, it makes you question the title. For example: AC is available in only one room in the villa, since the other room does not have a roof, but the roof of the one with the AC has so many holes, I felt sorry for trying to cool down the room that is not even sealed. They still use gas to warm up the water 😔 We had seven monkeys roaming in our terrace although we hadn't left any food outside. They just climbed the terrace when we were there, opened our bags, roamed in the kitchen and the bedroom!! We hid ourselves in only room that had a roof and called the reception to come and help us. One even left back to the forest with one of our bags! Considering this I really recommend having roof to both of the rooms. Overall please be aware that animals including monkeys come and go - found so many different types of animal poop. The resort faces a huge LPG depot positioned in the bay which is ruining the view. Apparently there were spilling accidents in the past and people do snorkeling there 😞 Considering the relatively high price of the resort, we were disappointed by the quality.

Good stay. I don’t have much else to compare to in Bali but this felt like good value for money, enough variety of menu options to easily keep us going for a couple of days, and lovely views. Nowhere is without its flaws - an active port with some late night ship noise and hard beds (personal preference) but was fine overall.
