Banyubiru Trip

Amazing private pool with spa. Loved the privacy of our villa and pool, and room service. The food in the restaurant was not great when you eat at the restaurant - eat off site for breakfast (the breakfast buffet is flavourless) or order to your room. Great restaurant close by.

PERFECT ! Very nice hotel with good food/bedrooms

Sanctoo villas is beautiful accommodation and the people there are wonderful. We stayed for three nights in total and stayed in the “llama room”. I’m not sure what classification of room this is as it’s not actually what we booked. Word of caution. We booked a family suite and included the ages of the children in the booking (6 and 9) and were charged as such. When we arrived the suite has one bed and we were expected to sleep in one bed with the four of us. There was a sofa they offered to put a sheet onto at an extra charge but this wasn’t suitable. We paid to upgrade our room in the end but this would have been a real problem if that wasn’t available. Other than that, the zoo is great, the pool is lovely and the grounds are beautiful and well kept. The lemur apartments were a real treat. They are in the zoo so you are right in with exotic birds, lemurs and a wallaby. A real treat (be prepared for an 0600 wake up call though from the animals. This room specifically) The chef is awesome. The food was beautiful. Everything we ate was of high quality and there are a good few children’s options. The serving and reception staff are a credit to the hotel and our girls loved talking with them. It’s billed as a 5 star hotel and there are some minor bits that stop that. Can’t charge to room, they do a 3for2 beer offer, we ordered two but didn’t see the offer and they didn’t make us aware charging for 2 with no third. In room drinks average etc.

We had a wonderful stay at MAAR Resort and truly enjoyed every moment. The resort offers beautiful views, a peaceful ambience, and a relaxing atmosphere that made our vacation even more special. A special thanks to Krisna and the other team members at Cantina Classe Restaurant, who were incredibly friendly, attentive, and ensured we had a great dining experience throughout our stay. The food and service were excellent. We would also like to thank the reception team for their warm welcome and seamless assistance, as well as the resort drivers, who were always punctual, courteous, and made getting around the resort easy and enjoyable. The Floating Breakfast, Romantic Dinner, and our treatment at Svaha Spa were all exceptional experiences and among the highlights of our stay. The spa was incredibly relaxing, and the therapists provided a wonderful experience that left us feeling completely refreshed. Everything was thoughtfully arranged and added a special touch to our vacation. In fact, every member of the resort staff was warm, welcoming, and always greeted us with a smile, making us feel right at home. Thank you to the entire team at MAAR Resort for your outstanding hospitality. We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with beautiful surroundings, excellent service, and unforgettable experiences. We hope to visit again in the future!
