Reviews
The breakfast ladies were lovely and so hard working, breakfast was delicious and different everyday.
The swimming pool was crystal clear and clean, plus the right temperature.
Our last day was spent by the pool, as we couldn't keep our room. However this wasn't an issue as there was a huge shower/changing room on the pool floor we could use at the end of the day.
Will we be returning? - yes of course we will. Stunning and highly recommend.
We had such a lovely time at Bali Star Resort! The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming – true people of the heart. We came with our 8-month-old baby and were so touched by how child-friendly and caring everyone was.
To our surprise, we even received an upgrade to a room with a private pool, which made our stay extra special.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the beach just a short walk away – clean, relaxing, and perfect for families.
A big thank you to everyone at Bali Star Resort for making us feel so at home. We truly appreciate your warmth and hospitality. We hope to come back one day!
