Indiana Kenanga Boutique Hotel & Spa

Fantastic location, right on the beach, a number of beds reserved just for residents which was a nice touch. The rooms were clean, spacious had a private garden. Breakfast wasn’t included but we ate there once and it was decent. The only negative (which is personal preference) is that the room had a very strong scent. The hotel asked housekeeping not to use the spray again but it was still evident in the room.

Indiana Kenanga is a great boutique hotel with a excellent location. We've been here a lot since the beginning of the pandemic and quality is there. The staff are happy and it shows how they help the guests! It's really nice to see how management works the team! The rooms are in need in some minor fix ups. Like the shower head wasn't working properly and the room itself need to have a fresh lick of paint. Also, the menu has been changed and for me personal a bit of a let down. Breakfast has been altered too, a bit smaller then previous visits. All in all Indiana is a great hotel but a bit pricey.

We took the Sekar Jaya Fast Boat from Kasumba to Jungut Batu beach. Indiana Kenagan Boutique Hotel is located in central Jungut Batu right on the beach. You will need transport from the ferry taxi (mini trucks are used) which will cost IDR100,000. The hotel reception is about 50m down a narrow path way and then onto the villas. This means no road noise from motor bikes.  The Spa area has a larger pool and then another 70m to the second pool, restaurant and beach.  The villas are air conditioned with high thatched roof and very tastefully done. Super king sized beds, a little firm for me, but still comfortable. Super sized bathroom and shower. We stayed 5 nights but only got hot water on the first day. Not a problem when in the tropics ☺️ We got a trundle bed in the room for our adult sized 12 year old.  It is a laid back atmosphere and music whilst relaxing by the pool or beach.  We arranged to go on a snorkeling tour through the reception. We had a private boat 'Safari' which left from the beach directly out the front of the hotel. IDR800,000 for 3-4 people. Our boat captain was Wayan who was lovely.  It only took about 15 minutes to get out to Mangrove Point. From the moment we jumped in to the crystal clear waters we were in a spectacular wonderland of colourful corals and abundant fish life. It had a current so we could drift along without effort. Then the tide changed and we could drift along in the other direction. We live in Cairns and snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef and have been doing some incredible diving here in Amed, Tulamben, Manta Point and Crystal Bay and were very impressed by this snorkelling experience.  We took a taxi over to Mushroom Bay where we stayed last July cost IDR150,000 each way. You can snorkel straight off the beach, but unfortunately the visibility was not good and there were cold currents so we didn't stay in the water for long. The staff at Indiana Kenanga are very sweet and accommodating.  There are lots of restaurants and warungs around the hotel, but be sure to grab a drink in a beanbag or bed on the beach at sunset. We loved our stay at this property and would definitely recommend it.

This is an honest review of this place,Indiana resort was highly recommended by Google reviews. Let me explain in points form: 1- The hotel is very out dated 2- The AC in the room doesn't work 3-The plumbing needs attention, shower and toilet flush weren’t working so imagine you can't have a good shower in hot weather condition 4-The swimming pool needs a good scrub no one swims in it and you can't swim in it cause it built under the bridge right near the restaurant 5- The menu is so limited i couldn't have my coffee as there was no milk other than full cream 6- Had booked hotel for 8 nights and left on third day 7-Feel sympathetic towards the staff of the hotel and their conditions as the owner/managers don't appear to appreciate them and their work

The hotel is beautiful and the staff are friendly but the restaurant is a let down. We have been going to Nusa for 10 years and Indiana was out fave restaurant on the island back when it was managed by the french chef Clement. Now the food is very average, so much so, we actually ate mostly at Ohanas a few steps down from the hotel. At Indiana our beer was warm & they offered ice?! The accomodation was very nice though.

It is very well located , not far from the port that the boat dropped us , on the beach , beautiful set up and decoration . Very friendly, Fanny the manger is always there , available and very friendly . Rooms are comfortable, most of them are recently renovated . The food is very good and you have the best sunset view.
