Puri Dajuma Beach Eco-Resort & Spa, Pekutatan

Came to Puri Dajuma with my daughter and granddaughter. Did not know what to expect as we have never been to Bali. We were all completely speechless with the beauty of the hotel and location. Hotel is not in a tourist area and very much tucked away where you can experience real Balinese life. Hotel shuttle available to take you anywhere you want. We went into Negara and the driver took us into the traditional market and helped us navigate and purchase foods and goods (money very different from USD). The staff also arranged for my daughter to have Jaja Bali (traditional rice cake dessert) after our last dinner there. Very cozy atmosphere and the staff is completely attentive to every detail. All staff genuinely care about how your stay is going and will do everything for your comfort. The absolute top of the cake came when I forgot something in my room after we left. The hotel arranged for my items to be delivered to our next hotel!!! This was amazing as the hotel is quite far out and I know of no other hotel that would have arranged for this with no charge. The room was also amazing- we were given an upgrade to the two story villa which my granddaughter was blown away with - even had hot plate, pans to cook with, and all utensils needed to have full meals from fish that villagers caught!. Surfing in nearby Medewi... the area is rustic and we loved the geckos and wildlife .... any area like this will allow you to enjoy the natural setting!!! Beyond beautiful!!

We had a wonderful stay here. We extended our stay to a total of 7 nights, which was good if you like lazing around, walking on the beach and hanging by the pools. My husband was able to surf the right break which was about a 5-10 min walk up the beach for a few days, then the swell decreased and there was not much to do after that. The staff was very obliging with driving us into town to shop (Pekututan) or to Medewi beach to surf or hang out. The facility is gorgeous and the staff very friendly and welcoming. Overall the service was fantastic, some days better then others, depending on how many guests were there. We had 2 different rooms while staying here, the first was one of the cottages that was very comfortable although the bed was a bit bouncy, our second room was one of the villas which was rather magical! No bouncy bed! You could hear the roosters in the village behind starting up at 4:30am however, earplugs worked well and were provided!! The food was very good for dinners, very spicy and flavorful and a good variety. The Balinese crepes for dessert rocked!! I would recommend this resort.

This was the perfect resort experience! We couldn't fault a single thing. The surroundings were peaceful, beautiful and relaxing and the staff were amazingly kind, helpful and accommodating of every want and need. The food was great, with choices to suit all palates and the spa facilities were excellent. We had a long way to go to see much of what the West has to offer but you get to see the "real" Bali, not just the tourist version. The only downside was noisy motorbikes on the beach at night at low tide, which the resort can't do much about, and it's only a problem if you want to sit out at night with a drink. It's not very tranquil! We loved the place though, especially the commitment to staff by management, and we plan to go back.

We rented the one bedroom villa, which I highly recommend. The living area has two roll-up doors to provide a very nice open feeling and looks out over a long heart-shaped pool with water slide down into another pool. The second floor has a bedroom with even more beautiful resort/beach views and also A/C which may be locked off from the ground level. There are bathrooms on both levels. The restaurant has clean water on tap and you can refill as much as you like without having to go into town to purchase your water. The beach is footsteps away and the resort provides a free shuttle whenever you want into Medewi if you are an experienced surfer and would like to ride those waves. The resort provides boogie boards and also has a full service spa. They can set up private tours of pretty much anything in Bali too. The staff are very accommodating. Breakfast is included and their crepes are amazing!! We really enjoyed our time at Puri Dajuma.

What I loved the most was the Eco part of the resort. The owners have done and keep doing their best to keep trash out and focus on running their business with sustainability in mind. This is an extremely important decision factor for me and I wasn't disappointed. Reusable bamboo straws, cloth napkins, ceramic soap pots with locally produced soap and a water refill station were the things that I was most happy about. Puri Dajuma really shows that running a hotel business doesn't have to require disposable products and tons of waste and emissions. All this without compromizing high standards that make a stay at the resort relaxing and enjoyable
