Cove Jiwana Villa

Nice place to stay. I was lucky that there weren’t many guests during my visit, so I often had the pool to myself, which was really relaxing. I think I may have been there during the off-season, which likely contributed to how quiet and peaceful the property felt. The staff were very nice and attentive throughout my stay. The property is a bit secluded and away from everything, and drivers sometimes had difficulty finding the location. However, there is a supermarket and a nice local warung about 10–15 minutes away, which is convenient. As it is quite remote, I wouldn’t recommend walking alone at night since there is no lighting. It’s also around 30 minutes (without traffic) to Uluwatu Temple and the Monkey area. If you’re looking for a few days of peace, quiet, and pool time, and don’t mind ordering food or taking short trips for restaurants, it can work well. On the downside, my room door was broken and difficult to lock, and the shower wasn’t in great condition. The bed was comfortable, but the linen wasn’t very clean, and the bed frame also seemed a bit worn and not well maintained. And you are in nature. Overall, it is a beautiful place with a peaceful setting, but maintenance could be improved.

Lovely small hotel with only 9 rooms. Fantastic pool and rooms full of character. I sort of want to keep it to myself as it is great value and whilst not next to anything is only a few minutes away from a supermarket and a great western bakery cafe. Melasi and Pandawa beaches are 10 to 15 mins away by scooter or car. No restrauant but get food delivery or go out. We did get treated to the luxury of a fresh coconut straight of the tree next to the pool. I think they were doing it for a pretty influencer but we were in the right place at the right time ( in the pool) ! Was in May, off season and quite quiet and relaxed. And there were kittens!
