Sunrise at Ijen Resort is one of those vivid memories that will stay with me for a long time – a vast view over lush padi fields with volcanoes in the background and the Bali Sea over to the east. The resort is about 30-45 minutes from the ferry terminal in Banyuwangi (from where you can get the ferry to Bali,... More

My husband and I visited the Ijen Resort from Surabaya during a long weekend (which I would not recommend doing, FYI). Let me tell you that the "driveway" to this hotel was the LAST thing I wanted to deal with at the end of our long journey -- a narrow, bumpy, dirt road that you have to crawl up (and... More

Ijen resort is located at the end of an unpaved, bumpy, muddy road but definitely worth the ride to reach it as it is located in a most spectacular area of rice paddies with panoramic views. The rooms are of good standard, well-maintained grounds and gardens and nice "infinity" swimming pool. Cons: there are creepy crawlies /insects flying around so... More

This is a splurge in East Java, but one that is worth it! The view we had from our private patio over the rice terraces was so relaxing. We enjoyed the welcome drinks, the quiet, the beautiful landscaping, and the peace. I do wish we had stayed for 2 nights. If you're visiting Ijen Crater, you will want to arrive... More

Very nice rooms and a great view on volcanoes in the middle of rice fields make your stay unforgettable. Unfortunately the greater pool was out of service and the prices for laundry service and meals are way to much. They offer tours with guides that bring you privately to the best places around the hotel. Go and try the small... More

“Remote” is perhaps the easiest way to describe Ijen Resort, a lush outpost of welcoming accommodations that is situated on a lonely road about 25 minutes west of Banyuwangi. When our tour guide Herman and driver Kiman found out that we were staying here they both growled for the trek to reach Ijen Resort is not for the faint of... More

Great location. Nature is overwhelming. The hotel is located among rice fields and behing the hotel you can see the hills from the Ijen crater. Road to he hotel is 4x4 worthy but our driver managed to do it with a toyota kijang. Hotel is located an hour drive away from the starting point of the climb to the ijen... More

This hotel overlooks the rice fields and volcanoes which sum up the unspoilt beauty of East Java. Yes, the approach road is bad and better suited to 4x4 vehicles, but we managed it in a Toyota Innova and it is well worth it when you get there. Lovely views, great pool and good restaurant with charming staff providing excellent service.... More

The Hotel is so beautiful, views around is wonderful, and close to Ijen Crater. Fantastic destination to exploring the traditional village, rice-fields, just about 3,5 kilometres before you reach the hotel is really bad road. It is only for 4 wheel drive vehicle route. Normal vehicle can do it but will damage the suspension and steering system after beat the... More
