This resort is a bit away from the town but they offer transport to the sister resort in the town. It is a short walk to a beach with snorkeling. The grounds and pool are fantastic. The food in the restaurant is great.

This economy hotel is situated on a beautiful property across from a black sand beach in Tulamben. Their pool is at least 25 meters and is kept very clean for swimming and diving. The hotel offers free in pool training for those that want to then dive with one of their 4 instructors for a modest price. The furnishings and linen in the rooms need replacement, but the combo bath-european shower is phenomenal! The on-site restaurant did an impressive job of accommodating my gluten intolerance. Very few staff speak English well but all of them have an attitude of hospitality. Be warned that sugar ants are a fact of life in this region of Bali and I was fortunate have my belongings in zipped plastic bags. The location is isolated but perfect for couples and serious divers.

It is fair, that's about it, the breakfast portion is not large, not much to do nearby, the site of hotel itself is large, with a huge pool, apart from that, everything is quite average, nothing spectacular. With that been said, it is also not a bad place that one would complain.

Not the best location, but the best staff. They were very friendly all the time. The colesest area to eat around is Ames, which is quite far, but is worthy for one day or two if you do scuba diving.

Very comfortable stay, will come back!
Top floor stay for three nights. Pool and surroundings are well maintained. Free breakfast choice limited but very delicious juice and pancakes. They have a bathtub which I did not use.. room is spacious and balcony gave a nice ocean and mount agung view. Perfect. Air conditioning is good too and plenty of power sockets for the photographers. Just note that if wifi is very important for you, avoid room 305 because the wifi signal is kind of weak there for now.

1 night stay
Hotel room was clean and large but needed updating. Sheets and towels were all clean but in need of replacement. View from the balcony of the volcano was beautiful. Swimming pool was huge. Big enough to swim laps. The gardens of the hotel were nice. We found Blue Hill to be a little isolated. The only place to eat was at the hotel and the food there was ok but nothing to get excited about. We ate from the Balinese menu and even that was a bit boring.

Hotel close to the beach, good place to dive
We just stayed for a night at this hotel since we just had one day to opt for diving. The hotel has a very nice property with beautiful garden and swimming pool. The hotel is located very close to the beach. we were put at a room on third floor. The room has excellent views of the beach on one side and mountains on the other side . This was so far the best hotel we stayed in Bali, as against our stays in Kuta and UBUD. Room was bigger than any other hotel we stayed in Bali and has balcony of its own. the hotel is very good to the price we paid and would wish to stay here again.. definitely recommended for a long stay..

Blue Hill Review
The pool was nice. The AC worked in 2 of 4 rooms pretty well. The hotel is very close to the dive sites and they offer good pricing on dives through the hotel. Overall it was a good deal and good place to stay. The view of Mt. Agung was great as well.

Reasonable priced hotel
Enjoyed our stay here, lovely big rooms, pleasant outlook, big pool. Food was a big letdown though, if that was improved it would be an awesome hotel. Lots stairs if you have trouble climbing stairs probably not the place for you. Not too far from the wreck and other hotel restaurants. Good value for money hotel.

Great stay, but a little far from the main road. It's a small sleepy town though, and a quick free shuttle ride to/from the hotel is not much of an inconvenience. I'd recommend others to stay.

Wonderful stay, great value
Stayed for 2 nights during our honeymoon trip. We were in town to dive the Liberty wreck and could not have been more pleased with the Blue Hill. The management really makes the hotel. He upgraded our room to the third floor for a beautiful view of both volcano and sea. Also, he had the shuttle driver pick us up and drop us off in town. The rooms were clean and modern. AC and fridge cold! Balcony is a bonus! The hotel itself is far from town, but shuttle can run you there in 5 mins. The pool was beautiful and refreshing on a hot day. Only draw back, the wooden patio needs to be replaced in one section of the pool deck. Excellent value, would stay again!

Blue Hill Resort is a great place to stay in Tulamben. We stayed in a clean and spacious room overlooking the vast ocean and the majestic Mount Agung (Blue Hill). Its location is a little bit far from Tulamben Wreck, but we rented a bike and it was so convenient. Staff were helpful and friendly. Truly memorable stay at Blue Hill.

There is much better value in the area
The Hotel lies along the busy road and receives lots of noise. It gives an unfinished feel and the staff are not highly motivated except a few individuals. The balconies are small and other than the swimming pool and main building, there is not much around. Its too far to walk to Tulamben for some entertainment so you are really stuck for some fun. The good news is, Ocean view resort is from the same owner and without any hassle they upgraded us to this wonderfull resort which for $ 10 more is a world of difference in any respect. Definitely go for the ocean View resort. Other than that, Bali and specially the east coast is great.

Great relaxed hotel at Tumbelan
We had a wonderful stay at Blue Hill. We stayed as afamily of two adults and a 7yo and 14 yo. The staff were fabulous and very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The manager Kedul was quick to see that we were comfortable and was very good at suggesting local points of interest. The hotel has a sister hotel a couple of klms north and you can shuttle between without cost. this hotel is waterfont very near the liberty ship dive site. Blue Hills has a large grassed garden/pool area and my son played soccer here, often with garden staff. We were pleasently suprised by the consistent quality of the food. They offer a wide menu and dont have a huge kitchen but we enjoyed our meals. the breakfast is a simple choice of american, continental or indonesian but were very good. The rooms were simple but the beds were very comfy and the rooms spottlessly clean with a balcony. The hotel provided pool towels and has several shade bungalows around the pool and grounds, perfect for a relaxed time reading or just relaxing We intend to re visit this area and will be staying at Blue Hill again, we felt very welcome and look forward to seeing the staff next visit.

Thank you guys!
My stay in Blue Hill was really amazing, though might be I didnt realize it untill I left. The stuff every and single person were unbelievable good and welcomed me as I came back home. I couldn't even say about them as a stuff, because I felt like they are my friends. They took me to the nearest sightseeings, and helped me with even more then I needed. It was never annoyed, it was really amazing! The minus of this hotel, is it really far away from everything..so if you really need a comfortable, quite place to spend with your (anybody) or by yourself and nobody else, this is the right place. The only one thing you can do there is diving, which was also cool! I love this hotel, I missed guys working there! I will come back, but with my boy friend next time;)
Lovely place by the swimming pool

great hotel only for diving lover
We went Blue Hill Tulamben in Jul 2011, booked this hotel because of the price (cheap), never know that it is 3-4 hours drive from Kuta to there. Other than the distances, the hotel is good location. Blue Hill has 2 sister hotels which are moutain view and seaview hotels. We were free upgarded from mountain view to seaview hotel for a night. At the Seaview, the hotel is superb, great seaview and huge sea side bangalo. Had a good diving lessons at here which is very good price for beginner, staff is very frienly and helpful. We moved back to mountain view in the next day, it is basic hotel, clean, good garden maintainance and good B/F. If you are not diving lover, i would think nothing interested in at here, no supermarket, there is only one small local shop 20 min drive from hotel, no beaches.

Belle chambre très spacieuse par contre la salle de bain mériterais un rafraîchissement. Superbe piscine et grand jardin ainsi qu'une vue magnifique sur le volcan et la mer depuis le balcon de la chambre. Une française à la réception qui est de très bon conseils cela a été une agréable surprise. Le petit déjeuner est correcte par contre on a dîner un soir et j'ai trouver les quantités un peu léger du coup on mangeait ailleurs. Bémol aussi sur la location de scooter plus cher que les autres maisons d'hôtes (65000rps ici et ailleurs 50000rps).
