From Semarang you can take a taxi or bus to the harbour town Jepara, from where you take a fast boat to the beautiful Island of Karimunjawa; you will have to pre-book the resort and they will collect you on arrival with a mini-bus and take you to this Traditionally-style-built Resort. The entrances are decorated with intricate woodcarvings, the roof... More

When backpacking through Indonesia, me and my friend decided to go to Karimunjawa. Accidentally we arrived at Nirwana beach (which is the private beach of this resort) and because there aren't a lot of restaurants on the island we decided to have a dinner at the resort. We made a reservation at 7pm. It was a bit awkward at the... More

Have stayed for few days in Nirvana Laut, the first information you have to know is that there is no service at all in this place (no staff to welcome you neither to tell you about hotel rules, there is some local people there but you don't know if they are working there or living there or anything else, there...

I can advise this place to all of you! We reached the Island on a Monday in July. We stayed for 6 nights and 7 days. Without exception it is a wonderful place. Staff was VERY friendly! Food was very nice and what I do not understand from previous remarks was that there was no variety. We had a great... More

We didn't stay there, because it gets a pretty bad review. But anyway, we checked out the Nirwana Beach, as it's mentioned as the best beach in Karimun Jawa mainland. It was disappointing! So we rented scooter to drive along the island, and found so many pretty and nice beaches. And we were 'saving' Nirwana beach as our last visit,... More

Despite of some bad opinions about the Nirvana, I truly love that place. It is a beautiful house, witch overhangs the sea, with big open spaces. It also has a direct access to the beach. Very relaxing, it it possible to simply drink coconut water, or read a book, listening to the music of the sea. However, "resort" would be... More

We have had the worst experience ever with Nirwana Laut Resort – Karimunjawa. We mailed them if it was possible to make a reservation for 4D/3N Master package 12.-15. of May 2012. No problem; we should just pay by Paypal. We tried to pay the money USD 1.044 on PayPal with credit card, because we didn’t have a PayPal account,... More

First impression was not good, cause the driver and car arrived 30 minutes late to pick us up from the harbor. They didn't wear any uniform or hold up any sign to make it easier for us to find them. The drive was a short distance, which was good since the driver drove recklessly. We got into our room, paid... More

Was lucky enough to return to Indonesia this year and we spent New Years Eve at Nirwana. Wow what a change to the years gone by. The place has really picked up and the new manager doing a great job; we decided to extend our stay the entire week. Karimunjawa visitors has gone up 200% in 2011 and they are... More
