Absolutely enjoyed our stay here, so relaxing and peaceful ☀️

Alam Mimpi… what can I say? It’s amazing. It’s like coming home to family. In a beautiful part of Bali.What they managed to create here is nothing short of amazing. You turn off the ‘main road’ down a small path leading you to the shore. I guarantee you that whilst you drive down, you will wonder about where you will wind up, but you shouldn’t worry. At the end, there is a beautiful little place called Alam Mimpi, and I still don’t understand how they’ve been able to built it here.It’s a homely ‘mini resort’ with I believe 6 or 7 rooms. It has a pool of a decent size (not a lap pool) and every lounger is facing the ocean. Your blood pressure immediately improves the moment you enter. The smiles of the staff will make it drop even further.The rooms are basic but fit for purpose. You don’t live in your room here. The entire place becomes your room. Each room has a terrace with a table and a comfy bench/sofa and by taking 10 steps you’re in a lounger watching the waves. Bed is not like a Hyatt or Marriott bed but I slept like a baby. Airco works well.. Bathroom is pretty and works ok (new shower heads would be nice), but again: jump in the pool.I’m here with only 3 other people staying. I can imagine that a family with kids would have a big impact on the serenity but such is life. You could move to a gazebo though, which I think will more or less isolate you (while also watching the waves). The hotel is also extremely quiet (sound wise). All you will hear is waves. Love it.Now, if you don’t have your own transportation, you are a bit stuck with what they have on offer. With a car or scooter there definitely is more variety. You can walk/hike to the neighboring hotel that has a restaurant though. If you don’t mind hiking. Takes 3 min.But do you need to? Breakfast for one is great. They serve it either next to the kitchen in a mini restaurant setting or on your terrace. And it’s generous. If you stay longer I am sure you can have something different every day. Lunch and dinner at first seem a bit limited but so far, it has all been amazing. You order about 1 hr before you want to eat and it’s all prepared fresh and to your liking. They can mix it up a bit if you want. Just talk to the staff. I’ve included some pictures to take any worries away.Cos lastly: the staff. They are wonderful. They feel more like family taking care of you. Their English is surprisingly good for the north and they genuinely seem to love the company. 5 o’clock they bring you tea/coffee and some snack and take your dinner order. If you need or want anything, just walk up to the office/kitchen.All in all: perfect hideout or base for exploring the north. Especially if you have a car or scooter. If you don’t, you will still love it and your GP will thank you for taking care of your blood pressure. 😉Now: what will I order for tonight?PS: take into account that Grab or Gojek won’t come here. They may make it seem possible for you to book a car, but it won’t show up. That’s true almost everywhere in the north. The hotel offers car services though. Not cheap (about double what a grab would cost) but what do you expect when you have the monopoly. And no worries about the driver actually getting there. 😉

Amazing and chilled out 24 hours stay, had the place to ourselves, very nice staff
