Reviews
The only downside is how far it is from China. If it were closer and had direct flights, I wouldn't even bother going to Bali!
I lost my water bottle by the pool the day before, and two staff members helped me search for a long time the next day. My two kids were overjoyed to get it back. As we were leaving, they even gave us two turtle plush toys as gifts, which we greatly appreciated!
The staff by the pool were incredibly kind and always greeted us warmly. When my little one fell and scraped their knee, they immediately took them to get iodine and a plaster. Service is truly top-notch.
The team is perfectly trained: they are always present and ready to help, but never intrusive. A special thank you goes to the young lady with glasses at the front desk for her incredible efficiency and kindness, and to Moustafà from the housekeeping team for the impeccable cleanliness of our room.
We had a small issue with noise from some neighbors during the night, and I was deeply impressed by how the hotel handled it. They immediately sent security to assist and even offered us a room change. Their responsiveness turned a potential frustration into a showcase of great management.
This is a place where you truly feel cared for. If you are looking for a luxury experience where the quality of the people makes the difference, this is it. We can't wait to return!
They don’t have the spa in the hotel but collaborates with a spa from Cascade hotel.
