Reviews of La Joya Balangan Resort 4 stars

We loved the location from La Joya Balangan, really close to the waves eventhough still quite a bit further of a walk when you want to surf. We loved the food and our bungalow was really cute

We felt that the bungalow was a bit outdated, especially the deck has quite a bit of cracks where it sometimes feels that you could fall through or at least get splinters from the cracked wood. We also missed more of a couch outside instead of 2 chairs, it would be have lovely to just "hang and chill" outside instead of sitting next to each other having a beer.

We've stayed at La Joya Balangan a number of times and find the property to be very charming, though not without the need for improvements. The restaurant and pool are lovely, with a great view of the sea. The staff are very kind and friendly, and the rooms are reasonably priced. Even though this property needs a bit of work (and has done for a while), we keep coming back.

Many of the rooms need some work - we stayed in a room (for the second time!) that has a door that doesn't have a lock, instead you're given a bike lock with a combination to secure the room. It's funny, but a bit silly. The shower in our room had pretty irregular water pressure and overall needed some attention. There was some construction going on around the second pool which was fine, but the pool itself seems to have deteriorated quite a lot.

The property was ideally situated very close to the beautiful beach of Balangan! The amenities were excellent and the staff were all incredibly courteous and helpful! The two swimming pools were stunning and we would be delighted to return in the future!

Not enough electoral power points in the room and the breakfast was a bit limited in terms of healthy options and gluten free choices

I simply love this hotel. The structure, the place , the beach near by ( still never too crowded ) , stuff , spa, food, and price

The location

The gardener entering in my space to work when I was there taking a shower

Very central to the beach

Very beautiful surroundings and a well-maintained yard. The pool offers a lovely view of the ocean. Convenient private access to the beach. The bungalow is comfortable, and the separate building for the shower in the garden was especially exciting. For breakfast, you can order a dish from a menu, which was particularly delicious. The spa services offer great value for money and are of good quality. There are two daily yoga sessions with a very likeable instructor.

It was nicely designed and presented. The villa had privacy and inside was lovely. The pool area was greatly appreciated in the sun, and the food first class. Strongly recommend 🙏

N/a

Staff were excellent.

The rubbish on the beaches.

Restaurant was lovely overlooking the pool with good food and great staff, nice decor to dine. A view of the sunset too. Lovely breakfast, hot in the room and aircon cold. The area is quiet, no sellers or stalls.

Standard villa was disappointing for the money. Large gaps in the glass for mozzies to get in, although there was a mozzie net over the bed. Curtains were thin and barely covered the large amount of glass and dragged on the floor, lacked privacy. No TV, felt like that there wasn’t a lot of room to move as the bed was in the middle. No chair in the room, did not feel like you could relax other than get in bed. Paths to the villas were stepping stones over grass, and stepping over limestone, mobility issues would cause a problem. Lots of steps down to the beach which is suited to surfing. Not a lot to do in the area.

Picture perfect accomodation! The rooms are beautiful, clean, secure and comfortable. Surroundings of the property are stunning. Staff are all accomodating and very friendly and easy to deal with. Would definitely return!

Can’t fault it.
