We recently stayed at the Jayakarta Bali Beach Resort for 10 days during the last week of June. This was our 5th trip to Bali, but 1st time staying in Legian. |We treated ourselves to stay in a Junior Suite, which was amazing, and the view from our balcony was spectacular. The room was exactly as the pictures on the website, and we were not disappointed. Having our own sun lounges was a special treat. |The resort itself is very well kept with beautiful gardens. The resort is ageing and looking tired in some areas, and some of the sun lounge mattresses could be replaced, but that did not distract from our amazing stay. It is an affordable beach front resort, so we did not expect 5 star luxury, and accepted the 'Bali character' of the resort, which is the same as all the other affordable mid-price resorts we have stayed at. |The food we ordered was very reasonably priced and delicious, but we thought the price of Bintang was a little high, considering other neighbouring resorts sold for less. We really enjoyed the live entertainment on the nights we stayed in. |The location is brilliant. Everything you need is at your doorstep, and a beautiful section of beach opposite the back gate. There were always plenty of pool towels, but you will need to pack your own beach towel if you want to swim at the beach. We understand the resort does not want to lose their pool towels, but perhaps a beach towel hire service would be a good option for guests, as its not easy to fit a towel in your suitcase! We would have happily paid a few dollars to hire a beach towel, instead of having to drip-dry after a beach swim.|All the staff were super friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Yuniati on the reception desk who checked us in and out with fantastic service, and was very friendly and helpful. We were extremely grateful to have our room ready a few hours early, after a very early morning of travel.|We have already booked our return stay at Jayakarta Bali Beach Resort and are looking forward to staying again, this time in a cottage room.
