A quiet and affordable resort, which is out of the way, remote and about a 45 minute ride from Denpasar Airport (expect traffic delays to and from the resort).
The resort is perched high on a cliff face overlooking the beach which is ~100m below. Access to the beach is via a steep stairway, no handrails, ~80 steps from the cliff top to the beach. There are plenty of warungs along the beach. Be mindful, after a few beers and a meal you will have to navigate back up the stairs or walk up a reasonably steep incline road to get back to the resort.
Rooms were very clean and comfortable. No TV.
WiFi was very good, fast and reliable.
Restaurant meals were very tasty, full sized portions yet marginally pricey when compared with neighbouring resort menus.
There are two pools, with plenty of deck chairs and lounges.
Staff were exceptional, very professional, polite and courteous.
I would stay there again, no longer than a few days because of its remoteness from shops, restaurants, and easy beach access.
If your a fan of Legion, Kuta, Sanur areas and nearby activities, La Joya Resort is not for you.
