Jimbaran Bay beaches are lined with excellent places to stay from hotels to traditional villas, the sort of hotel that you should expect here is from mid range to 5 star Bali Accommodation.  As with all dearer places in Bali the service that you can expect is unrivaled.  All the Jimbaran Bay hotels will supply what are basic facilities for these types of establishments ; air con, in house restaurants, bars and twenty-four hour room service will be the standard package and the private service you should expect will become more quality orientated as the rates increase.  Just some mins from the beach there’s some more secluded hillside accommodation that offers better views and more personal facilities.  Jimbaran Bay Hotels all offer shuttle services for you to go to the beach or visit Kuta which is only five minutes drive away. 

Even though there remains the presence of local fisherman staying here, Jimbaran Bay budget accommodation is thin and is more fitted to the up market traveler, with the costlier resorts offering personal swimming pools, and as you travel a touch more south or north, private beaches.  All hotels are beautifully landscaped with tropical gardens that are highly well tended and presented.  Bali has always created hotels and villas that have exceptional views and superb services and Jimbaran resorts provide all that may be expected from quality Balinese hospitality. 

Jimbaran is situated in the south not very far from Bali International airport, where all Bali Flights land.  Though this is a very popular vacation destination it hasn’t become as commercial as the other places in Bali.  Most of the seaside resorts that have sprung up along the coast of Bali were small fishing towns at some time, that have changed into giant commercial visitor attractions.  All these resorts have left behind their fishing history and concentrate fully on tourism as a source of income. 

Staying in one of the Jimbaran Bay hotels is a unique experience as the town, although aimed at tourism, has still kept its fishing industry and it is not uncommon to see the fisherman on the beach with their traditional fishing boats and nets.  The village itself is also a mixture of the old and the new.  Almost all of the other places to stay in Bali have a beach lined with eateries, bars, clubs and shops that are a hundred percent for the utilization of holiday makers.  Jimbaran is a wonderful place to stay as the main strip is still suggestive of an Indonesian village that has not been commercialised by the traveler industry.  Walking along here you will find food stalls and other facilities that are basically used by the local Balinese fishing community. 

Jimbaran beach is a long beach with the blinding white sand that Bali is renowned for with flat water all year.  The mixture of native and traveler places makes it a lively and engaging place to stay, the design although mainly consisting of visitor resorts and hotels is also jumbled in with the local inhabitants conventional dwellings.  It is a pity, but as the tourist industry grows, this tranquil village will likely go the way of the other preferred destinations and it won’t be too long before the colourful fishing boats of the fisherman are no longer lining the beach.
