Wellnesshotels in Banyuwangi

"Banyuwangi truly is the ultimate ”sanctuary of stillness,” and ÉL Hotel Banyuwangi provides a beautiful, serene backdrop to experience it. I had a wonderful stay overall, and while there are a few areas where the hotel can step up its game, the foundation is absolutely there for this to become an exceptional property. 🏨 The Hardware & Facilities (Top-Notch!) On the physical side of things, the hotel completely delivers. The rooms are comfortable and well-designed, the gym is well-equipped for a holiday workout, and the swimming pool area is beautiful—perfect for soaking in the quiet energy of the region. 🍳 Food & A Soothing Morning Ritual The culinary experience was a highlight. The food quality was solid, and the local flavors were genuinely delicious. But my absolute favorite part of the morning was the outdoor breakfast area, where they offer fish feeding. Watching the fish move gracefully through the water while enjoying breakfast was incredibly calming and set a beautiful, soothing tone for the day. 🌱 Areas for Growth: Service & Sustainability To truly elevate this hotel to a 5-star luxury standard, there are two areas I’d love to see improve: Eco-Friendly Amenities: In a pristine destination like Banyuwangi, sustainability matters. Currently, the hotel is still using single-use plastic containers for bathroom amenities. Shifting toward refillable dispensers or biodegradable alternatives would align beautifully with the natural essence of the area. Staff Guidance: The young team members have incredible potential and are clearly eager, but they just need a bit more structured guidance and hospitality training. With the right leadership, this passionate young staff could easily turn good service into an exceptional guest experience. 🗺️ The Verdict Overall, I will absolutely come back! There is so much promise here, and I have high hopes that the team will take this constructive feedback to heart and continue to polish their service. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway in Banyuwangi, this is still a highly recommended spot. #ElHotelBanyuwangi #BanyuwangiTravel #SanctuaryOfStillness #WonderfulIndonesia #HotelReview #TravelBlogger"

"Wir hatten dieses Hotel lediglich als Zwischenstopp bei unserer Ankunft in Yogyakarta gebucht, um einen Ausflug zum Kawah Ijen zu unternehmen. Unsere Meinung war eher durchwachsen. Das Hotel war zwar sauber, aber das Frühstück war für westliche Reisende eine große Enttäuschung. Es gab kein westliches Frühstück, sondern nur indonesische Speisen, wobei das Gebäck und die Viennoiseries ziemlich fad waren. Zum Abendessen aßen wir nebenan im Wizzmie, einer kleinen Fast-Food-Kette, die unter anderem leckeren gebratenen Reis, gebratene Nudeln und Teigtaschen anbot. Den Pool haben wir nicht benutzt; es regnete ununterbrochen. Was den Service an der Rezeption angeht: Für einen Ausflug zum Kawah Ijen bekam man lediglich eine Telefonnummer, und für einen Transfer (zum Hafen für die Fähre nach Bali) wurde man genauso behandelt – man wurde auf die Grab-App verwiesen, um den Transport zu buchen. Kurz gesagt: Der Service war nicht vorhanden! Dieses Hotel ist wahrscheinlich nicht auf Touristen eingestellt. Wir nehmen es ihnen nicht übel, aber man sollte sich darüber im Klaren sein, was einen erwartet. Wer es weniger abenteuerlich mag, ist im Aston Banyuwangi Hotel vielleicht besser aufgehoben."
