Bali's Mejore Beach: Paradise Found (Your Dream Vacation Awaits!)
Bali's Mejore Beach: Paradise Found (Your Dream Vacation Awaits!)
Mejore Beach, Bali: My Wallet's a Bit Lighter, My Soul's a Whole Lot Brighter (And the Mosquitoes…They're Still Around)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I just got back from Mejore Beach in Bali, and let me tell you, it was a trip. Not just a vacation, but a whole damn odyssey. Think Eat, Pray, Love, but with more questionable decisions at the swim-up bar and way less existential dread (mostly). This review? Well, it's gonna be like me after a week of Bintang – a little all over the place, but hopefully, it'll give you the real deal.
First Impressions: Paradise…With a Few Hiccups
Landing at Denpasar and the airport transfer to Mejore Beach? Smooth as silk, thanks to their airport transfer (a lifesaver after the 20-hour flight). Checking in? They offer contactless check-in/out, which, let’s be honest, is a blessing in today's world. Quick, easy, and I was in my room faster than you can say "Babi Guling." Now, the room itself…
The Room: My Sanctuary…and the Source of My Initial Mosquito Battle
My room? Offered a lot of features. Let's tick them off: Air conditioning (essential!), Wi-Fi (thank god – gotta post those Instagram pics!), a mini-bar (temptation!), and a private bathroom with separate shower/bathtub (luxury!). The blackout curtains were a godsend for sleeping off jet lag (and the aforementioned Bintang binges). They even had a scale! (Don’t ask me to use it).
But here's the thing. The first night? Mosquitoes. Devastating. Swarming tiny vampires feasting on my exposed ankles. I'm talking a full-scale invasion. Remember that "window that opens"? Well, I didn't realise it was a window and an invitation. I, the seasoned traveler, the seasoned mosquito snack had forgotten to close the curtains! Lesson learned. I had to call the front desk for a spray. They did come through with it swiftly and the next day I had to opt-out of the room service just to give them time to sanitize the room, and I started the room sanitization opt-out available from the start of my trip!
And although my room was spotless, the cleanliness and safety felt thorough. Daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizer everywhere - it's comforting to know they're taking things seriously. They provided individually-wrapped food options, and even the cutlery in the restaurants felt sterile. They've got the anti-viral cleaning products working overtime!
Food, Glorious Food (and Drink!) - A Culinary Adventure
Oh, the food! Where do I even begin? The restaurants are a symphony of flavours. I sampled both international cuisine and, of course, the glorious Asian cuisine. The Asian breakfast was perfection - the nasi goreng was legendary. My only regret? Not trying the vegetarian options sooner.
The breakfast buffet was a feast! You could go with the Western breakfast too, if you were feeling boring. Everything from fresh fruit to pancakes to (wait for it…) bacon! (For the non-vegetarians, of course). They had a coffee shop which was a daily ritual for me. And let not forget the Poolside bar! Happy hour was a must. You could get a bottle of water (essential in the Bali heat) and then indulge in a dessert in the desserts in restaurant. I was a pig, and I loved it. I had a salad in the restaurant and it was fine. It was delicious, but the Asian options were to die for!
There's a snack bar too and they had a soup in the restaurant, which I have to admit I never tried, and breakfast service was impeccable. You could have it breakfast in room or a Breakfast takeaway service. There was also room service [24-hour]. Perfect for those middle-of-the-night cravings.
Wellness and Relaxation: Beyond Awesome!
Okay, so the food might have added a few inches to my waistline, but Mejore also has an amazing spa. I got a massage that was literally life-changing. I walked in tense and wound up like a pretzel, and floated out feeling like a cloud. They've got a sauna, a steamroom, a spa/sauna, and a foot bath-- which I did not try.. I was too busy basking in pure bliss to explore everything. Plus, they had a swimming pool with a view – and it was absolutely stunning. And if you're feeling energetic, there's a fitness center to work off all those Bintangs.
Things to Do: Never a Dull Moment (Unless You Want One)
Mejore isn’t just about lounging by the pool (though, trust me, you'll do plenty of that). There are things to do! They have a swimming pool [outdoor], which is beautiful. You can arrange for a massage. The body wrap was interesting, the body scrub was nice. There’s a gym/fitness room if you actually feel guilty about all the eating. The access is good too. They have airport transfer. But the most amazing thing was just relaxing. Ways to relax.
Service and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
The staff at Mejore Beach are phenomenal. They're genuinely friendly and helpful. They offer a whole host of services and conveniences: from daily housekeeping to laundry service, and even dry cleaning. There's also a concierge who can help you with anything from booking excursions to finding the best local warung.
They have an elevator and facilities for disabled guests making accessibility a priority. I saw them removing shared stationery and the staff trained in safety protocol. They also offer a cashless payment service, and use sterilizing equipment .
Accessibility Concerns: A Mixed Bag
Accessibility is a bit of a mixed bag. The hotel itself is generally wheelchair accessible in the common areas, and there's good internet access throughout. Some rooms are perhaps better suited, but overall it offers a good experience with elevators for those with mobility issues.
For the Kids and the Lovers
If you are a family, there were a lot of kids facilities and a babysitting service available. The hotel is definitely family/child friendly. They also had proposal spot, couple's room, and room decorations, so perfect for the romantic travelers.
The Nitty Gritty: The Business Side of Things
For the corporate types, they have a meeting/banquet facilities, with seminars and space to host meetings. Also, they have a business center to take care of your needs. They offer invoice provided, so for sure a good choice for a business trip.
The Final Verdict: Go. Just Go.
Mejore Beach isn't perfect. It's not some utopian paradise. But it’s pretty darn close. Okay, there's the occasional mosquito, and the prices can be a bit steep (my wallet’s still recovering). But the beauty, the food, the service, the sheer Bali-ness of it all? It’s intoxicating. It's a place to recharge, to indulge, and to maybe, just maybe, find a little bit of yourself.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average, pristine, perfectly-planned travel itinerary. This is Bali, baby! And we're doing it at the Mejore Beach Hotel, because hey, the pictures looked promising, and I needed a freaking escape. So, here goes… the glorious mess that is My Mejore Beach Hotel Bali Breakdown (and probably a breakdown of me somewhere in the middle).
Day 1: Arrival, Jet Lagged Zen, and the Great Noodle Debacle
6:00 AM (ish) - Denpasar Airport Debacle: Bali Airport. Okay, the first hurdle: actually getting through customs without looking like a total sleep-deprived disaster. (Spoiler alert: I failed. spectacularly) The immigration guy looked like he'd seen it all, which, let's be honest, he probably had. My eyes were bloodshot and my hair was doing that "I just survived a hurricane" thing. Eventually, after mumbling something resembling "Selamat Pagi?" (which I think means good morning, please don't @ me) I somehow stumbled my way through.
7:30 AM (give or take) - Taxi Riot (er, Ride): Okay, the taxi situation. Let's just say bargaining is an art form here. I'm more of a "pay the price and pray it's not highway robbery" kinda gal. Eventually, a guy with a surprisingly enthusiastic smile (and a terrifying driving style) whisked me away to the hotel. I spent the entire ride clutching the seat like it was the last life raft.
8:30 AM - Mejore Beach Hotel: "Is this heaven?" (or, at least, decent wifi?) Pulled up to the hotel. Yeah, it's as pretty IRL as it is on the website. The lobby smells like frangipani and the ocean, and I knew right then that this may be the reset that I needed. Checking in was a breeze. And I got a juice! Okay, this could get dangerous.
9:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Crash and Burn (Literally): Slept for approximately a week in my room and then woke up wondering if I had turned back into a teenager. I'm pretty sure I drooled. Blame the jet lag. Blame the sheer exhaustion of existing.
1:00 PM - Beachside Exploration (and the Great Noodle Debacle): I ventured out. I was starving. Walked the beach. It's gorgeous. Really gorgeous. Then, decided to try a local warung (small restaurant). Ordered some noodles. "Mie Goreng," I think. The waitress, bless her, was super patient with my terrible Indonesian.
- The Debacle: The noodles arrived. They looked amazing. I took a bite. Instant regret. My mouth exploded with unknown spices. My eyes started watering, I started fanning my mouth frantically. It was so spicy that my sinuses cleared out of my body. I was coughing, sputtering, and generally making a fool of myself. The waitress, finally realizing my agony, brought me a giant glass of iced tea. I drank it down in one go. Lesson learned: Always ask about level of spice. (I'm now calling it "Noodlegate.”)
2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Beach Bumming with a Side of Existential Dread: I'm now feeling better. I had a coconut on the beach. It's actually paradise. But then the jet lag hits again. I'm starting to question my life choices. Why am I here? What am I doing with my life? Is that guy across from me judging my swimsuit? I fall asleep. Wake up again. The dread passes. I watch the sunset. It's breathtaking. For a moment, everything feels… right.
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner and Drinks (and the realization that the Indonesian language is impossible): Ate at the hotel restaurant. The food was… better than the noodles. I had a Bintang (local beer). Tried, and failed miserably, to learn a few more Indonesian phrases. "Terima Kasih" (thank you) I can handle. Everything else? Forget it.
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Sleep is Calling: Sleep. Sweet, sweet sleep. Before the spicy noodles come back to haunt me.
Day 2: Surf's Up (or, More Likely, Faceplants Down)
7:00 AM - Sunrise Yoga (and the Humiliating Realization that I'm Not Flexible): Woke up feeling… hopeful. Maybe the jet lag had passed? The hotel offered a free yoga class on the beach. Pictures looked lovely. Reality? I'm about as flexible as a two-by-four. Tried to do a downward dog. My hamstrings screamed in protest. The instructor (so serene, so… bendy…) smiled encouragingly. I felt like a clumsy bull in a china shop. But the sunrise was incredible. Worth it.
8:00 AM - Brekkie Bonanza: Pancakes and fruit for breakfast. Everything tasted delicious.
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Surfing Lessons (and the humbling ocean): Okay, surfing. This was a definite bucket-list item. Booked a lesson. Found a local instructor. He was super chill. I thought I was a bit athletic. Turns out, the ocean has other plans. I spent most of the time either face-planting or getting tossed around like a rag doll by waves. My instructor laughed. I laughed (mostly to hide the tears). I stood up for about two seconds. But hey, I tried! And I did it!
- The Great Wave Incident: At one point, a rogue wave decided to pick on me personally. Swallowed me whole. I came up sputtering, tangled in my rash guard, and feeling like I’d swallowed half the Indian Ocean. Lesson: The ocean is a boss.
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch and Recovering from the Surf Trauma: Ate a burger to restore lost energy.
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Beach Nap (with a side of sand in everything): Sun, nap, repeat. The sand ended up everywhere. But I don't care.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Spa Day (and the blissful feeling of being kneaded like dough): Okay, this was the highlight. A traditional Balinese massage. Heaven. Pure, unadulterated heaven. The masseuse was a miracle worker, kneading away all the surfing-induced aches and pains. I fell asleep. Woke up feeling like a new person. (Highly recommend: ask for the deep tissue!)
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Sunset Drinks at the Beach Club (potential meeting with "the One”): Drinks with a view. Chatting with a guy from…Somewhere in Europe. Decided to leave the hotel by 10pm to return to the room.
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Sleep… but better this time!
Day 3: Temples, Traditions, and Another Noodle Scare
8:00 AM - Breakfast and the Great Coffee Experiment: Trying actual Balinese coffee. The description intrigued me. The reality? A strong brew. (I need to eat more.)
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: A Temple Pilgrimage (and the monkeys from hell): I decided to see a temple. A truly stunning temple. The architecture was intricate, the atmosphere was peaceful. But the monkeys. The monkeys were ruthless. They were eyeing with evil intent. I kept my distance and my belongings close.
- The Monkey Mishap: I saw a tourist being attacked. A monkey ripped a water bottle from his hands and ran up a tree. The moral of the story: Hide your stuff!
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch in Ubud: Back to the hotel.
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Pool Day: The hotel has some nice pools. I want to relax.
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Sunset Again: Watching the sunset felt like a ritual.
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner… and Noodlegate 2.0? I decided to venture out, maybe try a new warung. "Nasi Goreng" this time? (I had learned what to look out for with spice.)
8:00 PM - ?? : The End: Sleep… and maybe a flight home. I'm sure I'll miss this… the ocean, the views, the craziness. And the noodles, even if I’m scarred for life. Maybe.
