Nirwana Resort Hotel

Unclaimed

From the moment we landed at the ferry terminal and were greeted by the lovely staff from narawana resort awaiting our shuttle bus to take us to the resort, they were absolutely amazing. Upon arrival we were given refreshments while we waited to check in. From start to finish, the staff were nothing but amazing, sweet and helpful to us which made our stay even more enticing. You will not get bored at this resort as there is endless activities that are offered to you and your family. My partner and I couldn’t be happier with our stay here. Our only criticism is that we wish that we stayed here longer than just the one night. We will definitely be back!

Dining Experience: The resort has six restaurants, and I got to try four of them: The Coffee Shop, the Kelong Seafood restaurant, the Calypso Floating Bar, and Dino Bistro. Just to note that all menu prices are before adding 11% tax and 10% service charge, which does bump up the final bill. My absolute favorite was the Coffee Shop, great prices, tasty food, and super friendly service! We tried some Indonesian dishes such as Ayam Baker Taliwang (240,000 IDR), Nasi Goreng Nusantara (200,000 IDR), Authentic Pepes(275,000 IDR) and the portions were generous for the price. The waiters were so sweet, always smiling and making us feel welcome. The Kelong Seafood Restaurant was also nice. We shared the small seafood fried rice (180,000 IDR) (plenty for two!) and the fried octopus (280,000 IDR), which was okay but nothing special. The prices felt a bit high for what we got, though. Calypso Floating Bar was awesome for drinks with its splendid view. Since I don’t drink alcohol, I went for mocktails; all delicious, especially the bartender’s special one (blue one)! At around 90,000 IDR per drink, I thought it was pretty reasonable. Now, Dino Bistro was a bit disappointing. The spring chicken main course (250,000 IDR) was tiny and just… not great. The cripsy seafood pizza (240,000 IDR) tasted good, but there wasn’t much seafood on it. For the price, I expected better. Overall Stay: The resort itself is a little old, some furniture and our room had a faint musty smell but the staff were so lovely that it made up for it. The location is perfect, with a quiet, beautiful beach, and we had a blast with the activities too!

Nirwana gardens is one of the most beautiful, relaxing and peaceful hotel I have ever been to. Stuff is very friendly, kind and helpful. Very beautiful people inside and out. Lovely atmosphere, clean pools, warm sea, tasty food in this little paradise. Thank you many many times.

We stayed at the Suite Room on the ground floor which was v spacious with a living and dining area and bathtub with separate toilet. The resort itself is really big and there's shuttle bus provided to get to their activity centre, beach club and other villas and restaurants. There's plenty of activities available (at a fee) and buffet breakfast provided as part of the room booking. It's much quieter than other beach resorts near the jetty which we love as it's less crowded and we really got to enjoy and chill from the busyness of life.
