3 Star Bali Holidays

Helen Trenery

What a beautiful resort with friendly helpful staff and right on the beach. Great food with different areas to sit and 3 pools one with a swim up bar. We had one of the cheapest rooms so the bathroom could have been more modern, having said that we had a huge king size bed which I loved. We will definitely be back but will choose a different room, maybe an upstairs one. 😊

We booked a deluxe suite but asked for a room change as the balcony was exposed and next to the main path and offered little privacy. We would have gladly stayed in an upstairs deluxe suite as those balconies are much more private but none were available. Our 2nd room whilst not a larger deluxe room was good and overlooked a pool. All in all we enjoyed our stay, the clientele are generally more mature and quiet, typical of Sanur, and the staff were friendly. Breakfast is fairly good and offers a reasonable range of western and local options. Great location.

We have fabulous stay at Griya. We have chosen this hotel for our last four nights at Bali and it was a great choice. Murdana was phenomenal in accommodating our needs. Room is fantastic, clean, spacious and with a lot of natural light. Beach is amazing and even though sunbeds are close to each other you can relax and enjoy the sea, as guests keep being respectful and quiet. Pools are also great and gardens are beautifully maintained. Breakfast, while basic, is all you may need.

Lovely hotel with a strategically location in Sanur. Right by the beach but still close to restaurants, shops and (unfortunately) the new mall. Very helpful and friendly staff, beautiful gardens and two spacious pools. Great air condition and comfortable and clean rooms.

First time here. What a location, so close to restaurants, right on the beach. Room great and bed very comfortable. Staff absolutely amazing. My husband collapsed and the immediate response was 1st class. Also the concern and get well wishes from all staff and guests was amazing.

We stayed at Adiwana for two nights, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location truly felt like an oasis amidst the bustling town of Ubud. It’s conveniently close to many attractions, including the Monkey Forest, the Water Palace, Ubud Palace, and more, making it easy to explore. The daily breakfast and afternoon tea were delicious, with a wonderful selection on the menu. We also appreciated the laundry service, which was affordable and completed within a day – a huge convenience! The pool area was lovely and provided the perfect spot to unwind and relax after a day of sightseeing. We especially want to thank the staff for their incredible hospitality and kindness. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. A special thanks to Adi for teaching us about Balinese culture and language – such a meaningful experience! We truly felt at home and can’t wait to return.

So much to love about this hotel including the tranquil pool and lobby area, lovely staff, spa facilities and particularly it's amazing location. There is so much right on the doorstep such as the monkey forest, the palace, bars and restaurants. The amazing staff team also booked our ATV jungle adventure which we would highly recommend, with hotel pick up and drop off and lunch included. Our included foot massage was heavenly 😇 Overall we had the most brilliant stay - thank you!

Iain McIntyre

Really centrally located hotel with great amenities and amazing staff. Food was of a really good standard. Cannot fault the stay at all. Rooms were spotless and well appointed with complimentary drinks in the fridge daily. Totally recommend this hotel.

Mariana Grandi Monteiro

I am absolutely speechless at the incredible treatment we received from the staff. They were beyond amazing! We were truly spoiled during our stay. The location is perfect. The hotel facilities and amenities were immaculate and in pristine condition. The pool felt like a slice of paradise. The breakfast options were absolutely mouthwatering, especially the Benedict's eggs. Floating breakfast available. During our stay, my husband and I celebrated our birthdays and were surprised with a cake and a rendition of "Happy Birthday." The spa was amazing, and the therapists exuded kindness and positive energy. Every little detail, from the laundry service to the restaurant, worked smoothly! Thank you for giving us a taste of the best of Bali. We can't wait to be your guests again soon!

One of the most beautiful and charming hotels I have been so far. Beautiful, very clean and comfortable hotel rooms, excellent friendly service, Beds are amazing comfortable. Spa Service is expensive for balinese standards but you get a really high quality Ayurveda treatment which is still cheap for european standards. Pool is too small for swimming but good enough for a refreshment. Cocktails are not really like the standards. If alcohol is used it is not high quality and because they use so little measures you can't feel a difference between a real cocktail and a mocktail. But Bali is not famous for Cocktails like Thailand so better grab a local beer or just taste the delicious juices or a fresh coconut. I will definitely come back to this beautiful paradise in the middle of Ubud. Things to improve: add a Fan so guest can choose between Air Condition and Fan,

Fenska

Perfect location for peaceful sleep. Suitable for family. The room is big, and affordable price. The service is excellent. The car park is easy. The only thing that can be improved is the breakfast food, please make sure the food is still warm during breakfast hours.

Nirmala Subramaniam

Hotel stay was pleasant. Polite staff, clean rooms, prompt service and a buffet spread breakfast, lunch and dinner was a real treat. Food was delicious. On a hot day it was lovely to go for a swim. Swimming pool was right at my door step n next to the dining. There are 2 level restaurants. Different password for different spot in the hotel.

Dan

Good value hotel to stay in the Benoa area, with lots of eateries along the main road. Nusa Dua not too far away. Swimming pool is large, although unfortunately seating space around the pool is limited at busy times. Rooms are quite spacious, with balconies a nice addition to some. Whilst they are in need of some extra maintenance and renovation, this appears to be planned very soon. Housekeeping kept things clean and were very friendly, as were all of the staff at the hotel. The reception team were very accommodating to our request for late checkout, also helping us store our bags. Breakfast service gets quite chaotic at busy periods, with things running out quickly. However, it is good value and the breakfast area is nice at quieter times. Wishing the hotel well with upcoming renovations - the hotel deserves to match the friendly service the staff provide. We hope to stay again in the future!

Jaz Gaikwad

Value for money, great breakfast. Vegetarian options were good too. We made salad and tossed it under butter toasted breads and made sandwiches out if it are we cant have meat. Staff is nice too.

Ekaterina Nazarenko

I recently stayed at the Ibis Styles Bali Benoa Hotel for three days, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food at the hotel was also a highlight, with a wide variety of options available. I particularly enjoyed the all-day breakfast set for just 99,000rp, and the buffet had a great selection of fresh fruits. The outdoor pool was a definite standout feature of the hotel. It was not only long but also beautifully maintained, providing a perfect place to relax and soak up the sun. One of the highlights of my stay was taking a cooking class at the hotel, which was a fantastic experience. It was a fun and educational activity that I would highly recommend to other guests. Additionally, I appreciated that the hotel had a gym facility, allowing guests to stay active during their stay. Overall, my time at Ibis Styles Bali Benoa Hotel was enjoyable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Bali.

I DONT RECOMMEND IT this place, especially for women, as it made me feel unsafe and like I was being scammed. Everything was fine until the incident during our check-out. At check-out, a staff member went to inspect the room and found a small stain on the sheets and a bit on the blanket. My period had started unexpectedly during the night, so naturally, there was some spotting, but it wasn’t severe and certainly not all over the bed. Instead of handling the situation discreetly, they brought the sheets and blankets to the reception and asked me in front of everyone what it was. I can't begin to explain how embarrassed and uncomfortable I felt. In today’s world, people should understand what a period is and handle it with more sensitivity. Bringing the sheets out in public was unnecessary when they could have simply taken a photo and spoken to me privately. To make matters worse, they took my deposit of 300,000 rupiah. They showed me a list where it stated that damage to blankets costs 417,000 rupiah. Then, the woman at reception said that for this type of "damage," it actually costs 600,000 rupiah, but she kindly "negotiated" it down to 300,000 rupiah. It was clear this was just a scam, and it made me feel incredibly disrespected. It’s so disappointing to see them take advantage of something that women have no control over, and to publicly shame someone in such a way at the reception. I've traveled to Bali and many other countries, and I've never experienced anything like this. If your period starts unexpectedly while staying at this hotel, be prepared for them to display your stained sheets at reception and try to scam you over it. It’s a scam hotel. They will try to charge you at any cost. I didn’t find the room key and they charge me 100k. They charge 500k because the cleaning team said i smoked in the room while this is not true at all. The hotel is made to overcharge you. Think twice before you book

I would like to preface this review with we paid $291,000/(or $28 aud) pernight through Agoda (so did not come into this with 5 star expectations) and this is not to discredit the hotel - intended more a note for future traveler’s to manage their expectations. We booked for 6 nights and left after 4. Previously stayed at fourteen roses in Legian - highly recommend this if you’re looking for $40/night around this area. The hotel staff were always nice, friendly & helpful (though some front desk staff struggled with English). The hotel itself is the issue - every room was mouldy. Every bathroom leaked into the plaster around, as did the aircon units above the door so the rooms constantly smelt mouldy and fusty and gave us headaches. The general atmosphere was just that there was none, felt desolate and like it was going out of business. The swim up pool bar was never manned and looked like it had not been used in years, there was also only 2 sun lounges and absolutely no shade (stands for umbrellas or anything). Breakfast was not included in our package - one day we paid 60500 each (2 of us) for ala’cart menu and was ok, nothing fancy but hearty enough for the money paid, though the next day they had a tour group through and it was 120,000 per person and the food was very average, lacking in selection and quality. One man who came in about half an hour after us paid and then asked for more and they were reluctant to make anymore for him. (It is difficult as not a lot of places open at 7 in the morning). The dining area has a glass walled pigeon Avery attached which rats were running through. Location - it is what it is - our opinion is if your staying somewhere that isn’t really near a lot of attractions you want to be able to stay at the hotel and enjoy the pool (sit in the shade etc). Rooms - no privacy - glass between bed and toilet and a weird both way swinging door between shower and toilet, didn’t have liquid hand soap (small gripe I know but still). Also if you are 6 foot expect to be sitting on the toilet with your knees against the wall in front of you. Overall - for $28 aud per night it is definitely on the cheaper side of things but I still wouldn’t expect the room to be mouldy and give us headaches. Didn’t get any photos of the rats but the mould I did on my way out. Safe travels!

Unfortunately it wasn’t good place to stay for one night before departure. Hotel has bad wifi connection so if you want to work it could be problem. In the morning at 6 am when we left the hotel - our room was check to unlock deposit- it was our passports. Reception member checked room and he said that in the towel is dirty stain and he couldn’t wash it. It was cost 100.000 rp. Generally towels were grey not white and it wasn’t because of us. How it is possible to think that it isnt to wash when it wasn’t wash in wash/machine. I felt disappointed. It wasn’t discreted ,it was in a lobby. And second issue we asked for breakfast take away one day before because our flight was in the morning. They prepared cold 2 eggs dry bread and little jams in a big box instead of sandwich - simple things.. I felt disgusted and I don’t recommend.

Fenska

Great budget place to stay. Comfortable and large room and parking. Calm and safe place. Great location near the water sport and the beach. The only minus thing is the bathroom, I hope they do full size sticker on bathroom for more privacy or renov the changing room area to bathroom for larger space.

Michal Wabich

Terrible service. I don’t recommend this hotel. The towels were rather unclean from the start but we didn’t bother to change them since it was rather a budget stay. and upon the check out we got charged 100000rp for stain on a towel that couldn’t be washed. How do you know that without using washing machine in the first place. We were rushing for the airport so I wasn’t able to argue, but it was a pure rip off. The guy had a list of like 50 things that you pay for at the check-out. Like it was all planned. Other thing was a take away breakfast that we received, since it was 6am. We used to get nice sets of food in other hotels, this time it was raw bread with cold boiled eggs. Prison food must be better. Another minus is very poor WiFi - max 4 mbps and low security. If you need to work, don’t go there. Other small things: to call an elevator you need to push the button like 10 times before you hit the spot. Good thing was a location, near restaurants and watersports, 30 mins drive from the airport +15 for room check and ripoff.

This hotel has it all! They have a large pool with plenty of sun beds & chairs. The pool also have a swim-up bar where you can order food & drinks. There is a spa on-site for massages & facials. The main restaurant is very large with many options for great food (Western & Indonesian). The breakfast buffet is one of the best I've had in Bali. The rooms are spacious and have a closet, TV (with cable channels), refrigerator, and desk. The rooms could use some updates, especially new mattresses & lighting, but the were very clean. The bathroom is very big & has a tub with plenty of hot water. The staff is amazing! Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The Location is fantastic! There are many bars, restaurants, spas, convenience stores, shops, etc... right out the hotel. However, you can't hear any noise in your room. The beach is only a short walk away (10 minutes). This is a hotel I will definitely come back to & recommend to friends.

RASHVAYANI

I recently stayed at the Legian Paradiso Hotel for five nights. While the room was basic and a bit dirty, it was acceptable since we were out for most of the day and only needed a place to sleep. The hotel’s entrance and lobby are beautiful, creating a welcoming first impression. One night, we encountered some loud arguing from a group of guests, which was disruptive, but this was an isolated incident. Despite that, the view from the hotel was lovely, and the property was very peaceful at night. It’s family friendly. Walking distance to the beach and there’s a market nearby the hotel to buy souvenirs. There’s a hotel restaurant which is open till 11 pm if I’m not mistaken. In front of the hotel is a mini market to buy snacks. Otherwise, it was safe for ladies. Overall, for the price and considering we were out most of the time, it was a decent stay.

Julio “Julius” Jhoncon Fong

Our room was so great, I only suggest repairing the quantity of humidity in the bathroom. Otherwise, the smell inside is too strong. That's all guys, thanks for everything.

Carl Knudsen

Me and my girlfriend spend almost 3 weeks in Legian Paradiso. The atmosphere is great. The service was also good. The hotel workers were extremely welcoming. We had breakfast included which was good. They also offer massage which was amazing. The room itself was nice. It was a shame our one big bed were to single beds set together so you would descend down the middle during the night. The room itself was clean - although we did encounter some small reptiles in our room in the last few days which was not very nice. But that the beach is just minutes away and everything is so close to you is just such a huge plus. So, for the price I would say you get a great value, and I would recommend Legian Paradiso

We stayed in one of the “deluxe” pool view rooms. With the state of our room I would’ve expected I paid for a free motel. Upon walking in for the first time our AC was broken and so was our shower. We went and told the reception and after fixing the shower they turned the ac on to 16°, which is not nearly cool enough for Bali weather when you’ve been out walking all day, and they told us to deal with it basically. 2 of our pillows had black marks and 1 even had an old blood stain. Later in the trip one of the towels even had an old blood stain too. I also found out that they dont replace sheets on the bed, they only make it for you. I found this out by noticing the same stain in the sheets a couple days in a row. The bathroom was disgusting and needed a deep clean. There was mould on the roof, along with mould that was in the walkway to our room. The room itself has no big light so you have to use the two small lamps on each bedside and what little light you get from the window. The paint is peeling off the walls everywhere. And there’s cracks big enough in the roof for geckos to run into your room. Should also be warned that the walls are thin. I was up at 6-7:30 every morning by people doing god knows what in their room. Slamming doors are moving furniture. Overall the service is amazing and the workers are lovely. Although the reception workers can hardly understand what you’re saying.

Like any other vacations club property, great rooms and services. But it has no beach access, and gives you shuttle ride to near beaches, and it is very much not enjoyable. Swimming pools closes at 8, n no Exceptions. Traffic in Bali is no joke.

Nick Daw

This is a great resort and all the staff are great, the only thing that wasn't good was the price of everything at the resort was at least 3 or 4 times more than what you'd pay elsewhere plus there is an extra 20% tax and service charge for everything at the hotel. Most things can get delivered to your room though. The rooms are great and the hotel itself is too.

Francesca Zuffolato

Very nice stay. Studio room excellent for 2 people. Beach 20 min away or 5 min in shuttle bus. Lots of restaurants just outside the hotel. Great swimming pool. Wish to return soon.

Location: Better than Terrace as you can walk outside and few mins drive to the beach and bali collection. The rooms in Terrace is much bigger and there's a small jacuzzi for one bedroom. Kid clubs, needs to be more careful i left my 5 yo child an i told him im just outside getting a tan. Surprisingly my kid managed to get out and run towards me. Staff should be careful and must pay attention with the kids going out, that's not okay, i totally understand that she's alone that day but just fyi if it happens to other families? The Bamboo Creativity centre is fun too, but a little dead no kids playing and not so fun compare to Terrace. My son had so much fun with the kids club in Terrace and doesn't want to go home. Christian, from Front desk is amazing he arrange our request and assisted us upon departure. Overall experience is great, we like it quiet and away from Tourist. We love the breakfast with the squirrels that's a great catch for people dining in especially with small kids. Not sure if we are going back maybe we'll try other marriott in Bali. Thank you

A wonderful resort. Everyone was so professional, warm, polite, smiley, friendly and helpful . The front desk staff, Adelle was so cheerful and she can remember our names even when there were so many guests checking in and out. We were impressed. Edy, the concierge who guided us about the features of our room was so warm and funny too that I took a photo with him 😄. I booked a 1 bedroom apartment. Not too big overall but it was cosy. Requested ground floor and close to pool, they adhered to my request. Room was kept clean everyday. Food and cocktails at DS were delicious. Overall, we were satisfied with Marriott Gardens’s service. Everyone deserved 5* appreciation.
