Everything about the mara lodge was amazing. The staff were so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Out of my many stays in Bali this was far the best.

Amazing stay over looking loads of animals. In an authentic Villa. Spent the whole day walking the safari park. Did the night safari. You have to do it to believe it. This place is so interactive with the animals.

This was one of our favorite places we've ever stayed up. To wake up and see animals out of your balcony wow! We highly recommend staying here. Breakfast was good as well, and they made a lot of cute animal dishes. The only one bad thing we'd say is there were some ants in our room. However there were ants in all the rooms we stayed at in Bali. Please stay here, and book early as rooms can fill up

What a wonderful experience, to sit on your veranda and watch Giraffes, Rhinos and Wildebeests, and feel completely safe. The room was lovely, and easy access to the Safari Park, and all it had to offer, with the cost already built into the cost of the accommodation for most things. Will easily stay there again, and recommend to others.

Some of the staff were very friendly, some were so so. No one mentioned the white tiger, Komodo dragon or piranhas so we never saw them. I think they should give a map and point things out. There was the marine park but no one ever mentioned if it was open or closed. Food was awesome. Room was so so

Atmosphere around the hotel is excellent but hotel facility and cleaning condition is very poor. Insects and bug issues in the hotel could make the room more comfortable to stay. There were few sticky floor area with ants when we got there.

방 베란다에서 기린 등 볼수 있고 먹이도 약간 멀지만 던져 줄 수 있어서 좋은 경험이었습니다. 리조트 내 수영장에서도 동물들 볼수 있어 너무 좋았구요. 다만 온종일 제자리에 서있는 코뿔쏘 등 동물들 보는게 안쓰런 기분도 동시에 들었구요. 아이가 있는 집이라면 일박 추천합니다.조식때도 커피 다른 종류(카푸치노 등) 추가시 돈 더내야하고 워터파크 수영장에 서 수건도 돈 따로 내야하고, 뭐든 하려면 추가로 돈 내야합니다. 참고하세요.
