Bloo Lagoon Eco Village

Location, few issues with power but everything else was great, resort could do with some maintenance but still great

Views were beautiful. Great location in proximity to the port. Nice staff, good food. Beautiful accommodations.

Das Hotel ist auf einem Berg errichtet und hat ein Nachhaltigkeitskonzept. Die Bungalows sind aus Holz und halb offen. Man kann sie nur mit Bambusmatten, die wie Rollos funktionieren zur Nacht verschließen. Dadurch viele Tiere im Raum. Der Ausblick über das Meer ist dafür aber fabelhaft. Die Bungalows sind schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Der Pool ist recht groß. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Große Auswahl. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der kostenlose Shuttletransfer in die Stadt. Ohne wäre der Weg zum Hotel auch zu beschwerlich. Fazit: Wenn man mit den nächtlichen Tieren klar kommt, erhält man dafür einen wunderschönen Ausblick. Uns würden die Tiere und der Zustand des Bungalow eher von einem weiteren Besuch abhalten.

Pros: The view of the mountain (if you are lucky that the clouds disappear) is impressive. Yoga space and having free yoga lessons were great. Free shuttle to town was great! Cons: It is called eco village but I wouldn't go that far. There are some sustainable practices like having own vegetable garden and refilling shampoo bottles but there are so many unsustainable processes, it makes you question the title. For example: AC is available in only one room in the villa, since the other room does not have a roof, but the roof of the one with the AC has so many holes, I felt sorry for trying to cool down the room that is not even sealed. They still use gas to warm up the water 😔 We had seven monkeys roaming in our terrace although we hadn't left any food outside. They just climbed the terrace when we were there, opened our bags, roamed in the kitchen and the bedroom!! We hid ourselves in only room that had a roof and called the reception to come and help us. One even left back to the forest with one of our bags! Considering this I really recommend having roof to both of the rooms. Overall please be aware that animals including monkeys come and go - found so many different types of animal poop. The resort faces a huge LPG depot positioned in the bay which is ruining the view. Apparently there were spilling accidents in the past and people do snorkeling there 😞 Considering the relatively high price of the resort, we were disappointed by the quality.

Great resort. Rooms was amazing. Did cooking class, a lot of fun. And great restaurant. Would definitely stay here again.
