A beautiful little boutique resort located on the beachfront, with only nine rooms. What a find. It is a lovely oasis of peace located just out of Lovina. The resort has a calm, easy-going, relaxed vibe. There are plenty of sun-loungers to stretch out on, lovely tropical grounds and a glorious pool. The rooms are luxuriously appointed, and the Bora Bora restaurant has high-quality, healthy food, a fabulous Western and local menu and a full bar. You will be delighted to know the food prices are local. Nothing is over USD 13. The highlight is the sunrise dolphin experience, and you can take a boat (local prices) straight from the front of the hotel. You avoid the many boat operators, which operate from the main town of Lovina, some 20 minutes away. You have this beautiful stretch of water to yourself. There are many local secret little finds - ask the front desk. The most memorable discovery was the local Buddhist temple. Just 15 minutes away with a mini Borobudur, peaceful meditation halls and golden Buddha statues dotted throughout the spacious grounds. It’s a stunning oasis of nature, peace and beauty. Nearby are the hot springs, and there are also waterfalls to visit. A full massage service is available - choose your massage spot - on the grassy lawn, the beach, or in the privacy of your room. The Mayo is famous for its sunsets. Take a long walk, let the black volcanic sand massage your feet, and soak in all those therapeutic minerals. This resort is incredible value for money, and the warm, personal staff and excellent service make the Mayo feel like home. Truly marvellous.
