Bali how you imagine
Looks like something out of mtv cribs huge sofa everybody could lie across from a large TV, nice balcony you could hear the birds chirping on and look out over the warm sea on one side and stretches of rice paddy fields through the other windows. Lovely secluded and fish in the beach right outside the villa. even gave free snorkeling equipment to us.nicest touch was they spelled out welcome with my name in white stones and flower petals to greet me. Recommend the chocolate lava cake expensive as anything but my daughters and wife still talk about it

Wonderful hotel and staff, will hopefully go again
The hotel was wonderful, with excellent facilities and friendly, helpful staff. The location was quiet and peaceful, and we spent most of the week there lying around our room (with balcony to view the beach and distant mountains of Java) or relaxing in the pool and meticulously maintained gardens. We'll definitely go again!

Dear Chris Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review, and for bringing the problem of midges to our attention. We will look into this, it is very rare that they come in such numbers as to disturb guests. But we always advise guests not to leave doors open at night with lights on. I will instruct our staff to do carry out an intensive fogging, over and above what they do as a part of their normal pest control routine. We look forward to your return visit in the future.

North Bali - really away from it all
If you're tired of the south Bali scene or Ubud traffic jams, north Bali is the solution to crowded beaches, restaurants and hotels. You'll need to reset your expectations but that's what a new adventure is all about. The Mayo Resort was purchased by Nick, a British former investment banker from Kuala Lumpur, about two years ago. He has done a great job freshening up the 8 room property and it suited us well after two weeks of work for our charity in the nearby mountains of Munduk. North Bali hotels and villas are typically small isolated properties run by world citizens from all over the globe. The owner is the one who greets you, carries your bags to your room, seats you at dinner and shares a drink and a story or two along the way. Nick has assembled quite a roster on his team - an awesome French chef, and Austrian hotel management intern, and an assortment of enthusiastic local residents.

Small hotel, nice pool, rural setting on the beach
The highlight for us was definitely the restaurant and the French chef and his staff. Olivier prepared delicious freshly caught tuna to a very high standard, amongst many other choices. The breakfast each morning was so filling we rarely ate much lunch. My favourite snack was the fish soup. We also found the low key resort and its beautiful pool very relaxing and enjoyed spectacular sunsets. Our trips to scuba dive on Menjangan Island, trek to Gitgit waterfall, and a Buddhist temple, and a boat trip to see dolphins are all great memories we take from our time at Mayo.

luxury accomodations. Small resort with 6 rooms. North Bali does not have shopping centers, restaurants. It will soon when the hotel chains move in. It's quiet and peaceful so enjoy it.

Très beau séjour
Très beau séjour. Devions y rester 3 nuits, y sommes restés 7. Sublime vue. Belle chambre, bonne bouffe. La seule chose à savoir c'est que le resort est à 5km environ de la route principale qui est à 15 minutes de Seririt. Donc, très tranquille, mais loin de la ville.

Wir hatten einen riesigen Balkon mit wunderschönen Blick auf das Meer. Die Zimmer an sich waren geschmackvoll eingerichtet,allerdings schon etwas abgewohnt (nicht die Möbel!). Beschädigte Türr-und Fensterrahmen, das Bad warschon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, die Türklinke komplett abgebrochen, wurde jedoch sofort repariert. Alles in allem hatten wir einen tollen Aufenthalt mit tollem Pool (generell war der Außenbereich super schön angelegt und gepflegt) und das Hoteleigene Restaurant/Bar war total schön und hatte super leckeres Essen. Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das das Hotel etwas abgelegen war wurde man jederzeit umsonst zur nächsten "Einkaufstraße" gefahren und auch Frühstückspakete bei sehr früher Abreise wurden uns ein Abend vorher gemacht. Ich würde es jederzeit wieder besuchen

Hyggeligt hotel
Fint og hyggeligt hotel med fantastisk udsigt. Kunne dog ønske, at maden på restauranten var væsentlig bedre, da der ikke er andre muligheder for spisning i nærheden.

Artistic color decoration in the whole resort area
This  resort lies in the middle of green nature with ricefields, room and terrasse with decorative wooden furnitures, also the pool area, the garden and the restaurant with a lot of flowers and beautiful decoration details, the stuff very friendly. Because my husband was not feeling very well, the rich breakfast was served on our terrasse. The manager was very open for some advice, for example to make a little path from the resort to the beach to the best point for snorkelling with a hint, how far you can swim without getting caught by a rip current. At a certain point, the current takes you out, and though its enjoyable to be drifting at high speed, the awakening comes, when you want to get back, coz then it becomes hard work even with fins, almost scary. Once you've crossed a certain line, the current slows down and you can easily swim back to the shore. That's why we recommend the stuff to warn those, who snorkel, to be aware of the rip current, that starts, where the visible cliffs near the resort end. We were granted a free late check out too, so all in all it was a quiet, relaxing, amazingly beautiful stay.

Entspannungsoase
Das Hotel ist schon etwas älter, aber ist ein wundervoller Ort, um die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Ganz besonders bedacht ist der Pool, der sogar über eine Sitzmöglichkeit verfügt. Über mehrere Funkklingeln kann man dem Personal vom Pool aus ankündigen, dass man gerne etwas bestellen möchte. Der Service des Restaurants war äußerst zuvorkommend, auch wenn das Essen preiswerter und /oder besser hätte sein können. Man ist mit der Lage am Meer schon ziemlich abgeschieden. Daher ist es zum Ausspannen perfekt. Auf Unternehmungen, die man über das Hotel Bucht, ebenso wie auf das Essen, kommen zusätzlich 21% Steuern und Servicepauschale. Das sollte man bedenken. Sehr gut hat mir der Schnorcheltrip von Lovina aus gefallen. Das berühmte Dolphinwatching in den Morgenstunden vor Lovina war für mich weitaus weniger spektakulär, als gedacht. Ich zählte rund 100 (!) Boote, die die Delfine eher jagten, als ihnen ihren Lebensraum zu lassen. Der schwarze Sandstrand vor der schön angelegten Hotelanlage war deutlich weniger heiß, als ich befürchtet hatte. Vom Restaurant aus kann man sowohl den Sonnenauf- als auch den Sonnenuntergang beobachten in Verbindung mit den einheimischen Anglern, die gegen die Sonne vermummt teilweise bis zum Hals im Meer stehen, ist das schon eine sehenswerte Kulisse, auch wenn man in einiger Entfernung ein Kraftwerk sieht - aber irgendwoher muss ja auch der Strom kommen... Ich würde das Hotel weiterempfehlen. Einziger Kritikpunkt: das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis

We thank you for your thoughtful review. We have noted your comments about the restaurant Bora Bora. Your feedback is important to us; please be assured that we are always looking at ways we can improve value for money and the quality offering for our guests. It is a never-ending process, and always a challenge as one thing is that we can never compromise on the quality of ingredients and food preparation or presentation, for which our establishment is well known and has become the popular destination that it is. We are sorry that you were disappointed with your dolphin trip, because of the large number of boats, 100+ as per your estimation. That is an unusually large number, exceptional even in high season. In order to avoid the crowds and catch the best of the dolphins, we encourage our guests to be out on the water early, at first light, and we also take care to ensure that the boat operators we use are the most experienced (and the safest also). We thank you again for your feedback, and hope that you will one day make a return visit to our resort.

attraktives Hotel in direkter Strandnähe
Das Hotel kann sich in Konkurrenz zu anderen Hotels wirklich sehen lassen. Vor allen Dingen ist es sehr übersichtlich und ruhig. Man findet dort keine Menschenmassen vor, weil es nur 8 Zimmer beinhaltet und es ist nicht umgarnt von benachbarten Hotels. Deshalb kann man herrlich relaxen und seinen Aufenthalt genießen. Auch kann man dort herrlich schnorcheln und Strandspaziergänge unternehmen. Das Doppelzimmer war phantastisch eingerichtet und ein Balkon mit Meeresblick war ebenfalls vorhanden. Wer ein reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet erwartet, wird leider enttäuscht. Es existieren nur zwei verschiedene Frühstücksangebote, die individuell zusammengestellt werden können und wenn man dort zu Abend essen möchte, muss man ganz schön tief in die Tasche greifen. Die Entfernung zwischen der Hauptstraße und dem Hotel beträgt ca. 2 km. Ohne einem Fahrzeug ist man dort leider völlig aufgeschmissen.

Hôtel de charme mais loin de tout !
Nous avons passé 3 nuits dans ce magnifique hôtel, la suite ocean view est telle que sur les photos. La piscine est très jolie et nous avons apprécié le calme, la décoration et la propreté de cet établissement. Par contre il est loin de tout et si vous n'avez pas de moyen de locomotion vous ne pouvez rien faire. Le personnel est charmant mais par contre il n'y a pas de commandant à bord ! Il n'y a aucune organisation pour les excursions. Le restaurant de l'hôtel est très agréable et on y mange très bien (heureusement car il n'y a rien autour .) Très bon petit déjeuner face à la mer !

Leuk kleinschalig hotel
Hotelletje heeft 4 studio's op de 1e verdieping (geen lift!) met uitzicht op zee en zwembad je. De kamers zijn groot met balkon over de volle breedte. Grote koelkast aanwezig. Badkamer met douche en toilet is OK. Airco absoluut onvoldoende, konden het niet koeler krijgen dan 27gr s'nachts (buiten 29,5) De plafondfan gaf nog enigszins verkoeling. Het restaurant is al even kleinschalig,weinig keus van gerechten maar wel goed! Ontbijt matig. Echt dieptepunt is de toegangsweg naar het complex; ca 800m lang, 1,5m breed vol kuilen en gaten en nauwelijks verhard. Dit soort weggetjes wordt wordt uitgesloten bij de verzekering van huurauto's! Het personeel is heel aardig en bereid om nog van alles te leren. Ik vind het ook storend dat op een aantal strategische punten "tip boxen" staan opgesteld.
Response from The Management at Mayo Resort on 22 Jul 2016
Thank you for your review and your candid comments. Your points are all noted and respected. Since your stay, I can inform you that (1) the air conditioners have all been serviced and are working well, (2) the road to our resort has been fully paved all the way and will pose no risk to any car insurance company, and (3) we have expanded the restaurant and offer a greatly improved menu with fresh seafood and tapas as our new menu highlights as well as our pizza and pasta dishes that our regular clientele know and enjoy. Regarding the Tip Boxes, this is standard practice in many resorts in Bali, there is no obligation to contribute. They are there because every rupiah offered is always greatly appreciated and makes a big difference to staff morale and motivation. I hope that one day you will come back to our resort and enjoy all the improvements we have made. It is comments like yours that help resorts like ours to improve our service offering and provide guests a memorable experience and a friendly and personal alternative to the chain hotels. Thank you again for your feedback
