The Royal Pita Maha

We spent our honeymoon at The Royal Pita Maha, and it was magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles, and the most breathtaking view of the jungle valley—we instantly knew we had chosen the perfect place. The staff made our stay truly special. They surprised us with flower arrangements on the bed, honeymoon cakes.. Every interaction felt sincere and thoughtful—like we were being looked after by family. Breakfasts were generous, fresh, and served with a view that made every morning feel like a celebration. The on-site restaurant was peaceful and romantic, perfect for slow dinners under the stars. If you’re looking for a honeymoon that feels intimate, luxurious, and deeply connected to nature and culture—this is it. The Royal Pita Maha gave us memories we’ll carry forever. It’s not just a resort, it’s a love story waiting to happen.

LOVED it here! First, you should know that it is around 20 football fields in size, and it is built into the side of a steep hill. You can - and should - let yourself get wondrously lost in the winding staircases - and a surprise elevator tower - in the middle of a jungle. Every room is a private pool villa, most with spectacular views into the river canyon below. The main restaurant is fine dining quality, the breakfast buffet is excellent, and the riverside lunch cafe is a place to sip cocktails while you watch whitewater rafters paddling by. Maybe you will step aside as a monkey makes his way to the on-site temple or sacred bathing pool. There is even a family-friendly "lazy river" where the kids can paddle their inflatable raft. There are 75 villas and 365 staff! The owner extends health insurance to up to 3 members of each employee's family - so your stay is helping to support up to 1,000 locals.

Overall very good. Staying here 10 days. Beautiful gardens, great breakfasts, helpful friendly staff. BUT terrible wi-fi. Cuts out for a few muntes, comes back, cuts out again. Staff advised 2 days ago.... but no change so far....

Booked a surprise 2 nights stay for my husbands 60th birthday and I have to say that it was amazing fantastic villa and a beautiful place with amazing views The staff at this hotel are exceptionally friendly and cannot do enough for you I have to say a big Thankyou to Dewa the manager in the restaurant and his staff Jaka and Tini who looked after us the service was fantastic

Upfront experience was a shocker with high headed and arrogant reception staff... less mannerful n stubborn, it spoilt the taste of being there, it included a male as well as female staff , on too different occasions, such arrogance n less welcoming attitude has rarely been experienced in my travel to over 40 countries, worldwide, including US & UK. Hotel is scenic n located in beautiful surroundings. River flowing at the base is ultimate experience. Cottages are just average and highly overpriced. Only solace , beautiful surroundings. Dining and spa staff was very polite and courteous, but reception blew it up, both times. They really need to train the reception staff. Check out time cab, they called from taxi stand and loaded it with additional 2 million rupaiah indonesian hotel commission ! Never witnessed before. Overall, although in beautiful surroundings, it is highly overpriced, limited cuisine, arrogant reception. Would not like to go there again.
