How do we start here…
Huge hotel complex with beach front. Whether you like that or not, is up to you. We found it to be very questionable. Complex appears quite modern, espfcially the foyer and front desk. Spectacular view. Friendly and helpful staff. Decent rooms. Pool area and restaurant are overall good. Pretty good gym
Now for the downsides. Beach was really poor. Dont trust the foto. In our opinion you cant really use the beach at all. Lack of sand probably due to erosion, in low tide you cant swim anyways. Not much going on the area, so there is really not much to do other than hanging out in the hotel complex and pool area. Or maybe excursions, but in Nusa Dua you are far from most sights and traffic is catastrophic. Breakfast gets pretty crowded. Dinner buffet was rather average.
2 inconveniences to mention, that were managed really well:
- hotel messed up airport pick up, which caused us some nerves on arrival. They apologised and offered free transfer to airport on our way back. And admittedly, it was a same day booking, so mistakes just happen.
- reservation for sea food bbq set course menu got lost, once we arrived they ran out of it. They tried their best to make up for it and gave a generous discount.
Would we stay there again? probably not. In general we wouldnt go back to Bali. If you are happy with resort style accomodation and mainly stay at the pool, it might still be your choice.
