From our friends Angela and Wolfram who run the travel agency Travel Fair in Wuppertal near Düsseldorf, Germany, we had the very pleasant surprise to receive bags of rice that the families of our 48 employees will particularly appreciate in these difficult times. Many thanks to you Angela and Wolfram!

We already know you’ll be back next year. We will be very happy to celebrate with you the return to your Balinese home!

AN INTERESTING NEW CONCEPT CALLED « NEW NORMAL »

AN INTERESTING NEW CONCEPT CALLED « NEW NORMAL »

/in

Last week, the Balinese authorities have inaugurated an interesting new concept called « new normal » supposed to succeed to the Corona virus pandemic. It consists of a set of procedures to be applied by all hotels in Bali. It combines both new individual hygiene behaviours with some specific equipment. Among the most important ones are the masks (both face and plexiglass ones), the hydro-alcoholic distributors, the new social greetings, the physical distancing, the body temperature control and a new equipment installed in the parking area consisting in a sink where everybody (guests and staff) entering Dajuma must deeply wash their hands.

At Dajuma, since the beginning in March, we already applied most of these « new normal » procedures ensuring the best protection of the health of our staff and our guests. After 16 weeks of practice and fine-tuning we can now say that we are totally ready for the « new normal », hoping that it will come soon.

We selected some pictures illustrating these changes.

Welcome again at Dajuma in a safe and secure environment which does not hamper the legendary Balinese zest for life!

KEEP BALI CLEAN FOR THE WORLD

KEEP BALI CLEAN FOR THE WORLD

/in

This beautiful motto has been once again verified in the field despite the unusual situation generated by the pandemic.

On July 3rd, Dajuma Team (3 people) participated in the Jembrana Clean-Up Day event, which is held by the initiative of Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) (Jembrana) in collaboration with the government, Indonesian Army and Police. This event is regularly held every month in different West Bali tourist attractions, the participants coming from hotels delegations, members of  PHRI, representatives of government, army and police as well as the local society. This event is aimed to be a preparation of welcoming the new normal era which will follow the reopening of tourism sector. It also aims at educating people about the importance of cleanliness and keep the environment away from plastic waste. During this pandemic situation, all these activities are carried out in accordance with the recommended health protocol standard such as wearing mask and keep physical distancing.

Dear Friends of Dajuma,

Thanks to the commitment and dedication of our staff, Dajuma has been able to stay open for the past 3 months by offering a full service to our rare customers from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm.

We were hoping to return to normal in July and forget about this devastating pandemic. Unfortunately, the most optimistic voices are now predicting a return to normal not before the end of the year, the most pessimistic are even talking about 2021.

So far, we have been able to ensure a decent wage for our 48 employees. With their families, a total of 130 people depend economically on Dajuma, not to mention dozens of local suppliers, fishermen, farmers, breeders, workers, tradespeople. Apart from a few bags of rice distributed to the staff, the government has made no provision to help businesses in Bali.

In this context, we urgently need your help.

Whatever the amount of your contribution, it will be credited to your next stay with a 30% bonus and no limit in time.

On behalf of the entire staff of Dajuma, we are very grateful to you for what you can do for us, knowing that the situation is not flourishing in your country either.

We hope to see you again soon in our little paradise. In the meantime, take good care of yourselves.

DELICIOUS DELIGHT

Failing to have foreign customers staying, flights to Bali not yet being restored, the restaurant team imagined attracting a more local clientele with a menu combining Balinese and international specialties at very attractive prices.
Logically, it should appeal to expatriates living in Bali as well as families from surrounding villages. In any case, this is what we wish. Selamat makan (Enjoy your meal)!

Thank you Andrew and Melinda

Dajuma was fortunate to receive this week several bags of rice donated by Andrew and Melinda to our staff to help them overcome this difficult period. This young couple has been a client and friend of Dajuma for years. They celebrated their wedding at the hotel in May 2018 and have remained in contact with us since then. This gesture touched us a lot and we don’t have words strong enough to thank them. We will celebrate their return as soon as possible after the pandemic has ended. A million thanks!

We are launching our new website this week

/in ,

This week, we have the immense pleasure of presenting you our new website whose development will have lasted 3 months. We will long remember this version developed during the off-peak weeks of the pandemic!

So what’s new in this new version?

First of all, we wanted to improve the informative and photographic content. This is how all the rooms are now described in detail including a detailed plan of each of them. We did the same for all the other departments of the hotel, catering, spa, garden, nautical activities, excursions, etc. We also highlighted the extraordinary beauty and diversity of West Bali through new photos and inspiring texts. But the most important is our new pricing policy which guarantees the best deal if reservations are made on our website. We have finally given a lot of space to our dear staff and our commitments in favor of our natural and human environment.

Let us know your impressions. We will be happy to update our website based on your comments!

PANCASILA CELEBRATION Puri Dajuma, Beach Eco-Resort & Spa, West Bali

PANCASILA CELEBRATION

/in , , ,

Since President Joko Widodo decided in 2016 to establish June 1st as an official public holiday aimed at celebrating the 5 principles of the Pancasila , all institutions of Indonesia are holding special events on this occasion. Pancasila means in sanscrit “Five” (Panca) “Principles” (Sila). It is the official and foundational philosophy of Indonesia based indeed on 5 principles edicted in 1945 by President Sukarno’s in his famous speech “The Birth of Pancasila”.
June 1st is also the restart of all domestic commercial flights, some of them having already restarted in May.
A good opportunity to take a break in the stressful period of the pandemic which definitively shows a slow down everywhere.
Dajuma is open and ready to welcome you anytime!

PREPARING FOR THE POST-CRISIS WITH A NEW WEBSITE Puri Dajuma, Beach Eco-Resort & Spa, West Bali

PREPARING FOR THE POST-CRISIS WITH A NEW WEBSITE

/in ,

It’s not easy to turn a major event like the corona virus crisis into an opportunity. However, this is what we are trying to do by keeping the hotel open, by offering our rare guests all of our services and above all, by preparing for the post-pandemic period.
A new website is thus under construction which should be put online soon, reflecting as much as possible what we are and our commitment to the environment. It is thanks to you, dear customers and friends, that for almost 20 years, we have been able to develop a hotel style based on the 3 principles of the Balinese philosophy: harmony with the Gods, with nature and between people.
Now, we dream to come back to the pre-crisis occupancy as shown in the 2 photos of the new terrace of our Rama restaurant: the first was taken this week, the second on New Year. Hopefully our dream come true quickly!
