Margo Utomo Eco Resort

The hotel is conveniently located near Kalibaru Station, providing easy access to Ketapang (for Bali) and Banyuwangi city (for the Ijen tour), just an hour by train. The hotel features its own dairy farm with fresh milk, and offers activities like spice and coffee plantation tours. For adventure seekers, the basecamp of Mount Raung is only 20 minutes away by car, with a hike that takes at least two days and one night. The swimming pool is large and clean, and the garden is well-maintained. The hotel has a good restaurant offering a variety of Indonesian and Western dishes. Wi-Fi is reliable, though the TV had no signal, and there was a brief power outage, quickly resolved with a backup generator. The staff are friendly and helpful.

perfect place 👍

What a wonderful place to stay! The hotel is set in a beautiful, well-maintained garden and offers complete tranquility. It’s the perfect spot to truly unwind. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, which makes the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

We came for the plantation tour and stayed for lunch. The tour was great. Our senses were delighted with the smells, textures, and sights. The food was delicious. The staff are fabulous. The jam, coconut suger, and spices that are on sale are very fresh. Highly recommended.

I stayed here as part of an Intrepid tour around Java. The room was very comfortable and had everything one would expect in it. The hotel grounds were so nice - you can get an idea from my photos. There was a large pool which was enjoyable. The restaurant had a nice menu and the food was good. And the breakfast buffet was good too. The hotel has its own bakery which also supplies local shops. There is also a dairy and visitors can tour both of these. My stay was short, but very enjoyable.

The garden is nice. However the rest of the accomodation is outdated and tailored for group holidays. There are 51 rooms and there is a large dining facility. The big swimming pool has 6 chairs for about 100 guests! WiFi doesn’t work in the rooms. There was no soap. It is very noisy. Besides mosques sounds you also hear train sounds. Staff was business like.
