Review of Keraton Jimbaran Beach Resort ...

This place was terribly overpriced, and the staff that we interacted with was very rude. For our last day in Bali we thought it would be nice to get a couple beach chairs and relax. We really only wanted to have two beach chairs and relax by the beach but they told us we must purchase the package which meant- two chairs, two towels, wifi, and access to the pool, and toilets. We decided we would splurge a little so we paid the 200,000 IDR. Later we found out you could not purchase beer outside of their area, and beers were 100,000 IDR a piece! We had only been sitting for 5 minutes, so we decided to go closer to the beach and pay a local man for two more chairs which were much affordable, and we could purchase drinks from wherever we wanted. We didn't ask for the full amount back, only half 100,000 because we knew they wouldn't fully refund us even though we didn't use the towels or make the chairs wet since we never went in the water. They refused, and were very smug about it. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who is just wanting to sit by the beach and drink a couple beers. You can do so for a quarter of the price, and help out a local.
