The Kirana Tembok

The Kirana Tembok was really an amazing place to stay. It's a small resort with this incredibly beautiful location. You're like sleeping in the beautifull nature, you'll wake up by the sound of the birds. The restaurant was amazing, local ingredients and if you want to change ingredients in a menu it's no problem. Most important were the people who worked there, they were so incredibly polite and helpful I've never seen that before. I definitely come back when I go to Bali again. A 5 star rate is to low, so I give them 6 stars.

The Kirana Tembok is situated on a very nice spot at the beach. We (2 pax) stayed 7 nights at the very large family house (payed upfrade) which is very nice. The resort has a very nice garden. Kitchen is adequate but not very special. Pool is superb. We need to mention that on the fourth night we had a problem with little biting insects in our bed. Not nice at all (lot of bites) and we moved to another bedroom in the middle of the night. Told the staff next morning and they reacted efficiently (extra instructions to the housekeeping staff) but someway you expect also some compensation for all the inconvenience (e.g. we felt the need of washing all our clothes when we get home in order to prevent these insects taking over our own house). A free drink or diner would have been a nice guesture but didnt came to the minds of the staffmembers. For the rest had a great time. Ons advice: buy an electric lawn mower or a robot. The old petrol engine equiped one makes too much noice ( they kept mowing the lawn for 3 days!).

This resort is very quiet. While that’s not a bad thing if you stay expecting something to do you will be disappointed. There is absolutely nothing going on. Large grounds that are beautifully kept. The pool is lovely and well maintained. Unfortunately the staff while all very kind and obliging seem to lack direction. No one approaches you for drinks around the pool. You have to get up and sometimes find someone to get you a beverage. There is an upstairs lounge which is great in the afternoon breeze but again you have to go downstairs to get a drink. There are no spirits at this place so don’t expect a cocktail, you can however get a mocktail. Now let’s talk about the food, one word - atrocious. We tried Indonesian cuisine and western and both were hideous. Chicken satay’s had gristle in them and were inedible , pizza was straight out of a freezer box and undercooked even after waiting almost an hour. Definitely take some snacks with you as the nearest shop is a bit of a walk. The room we booked was clean and tidy, good size bathroom.

Been there for 3 times already and everything just perfect Huge room, huge resort , nice pool at the front of the beach, great staff From the security, reception , housekeeping, to the restaurant staff everyone just did their great work The food is great Definitely will be comeback soon
