The rooms are very spacious. There is also a bathtub and a sleeping cot. There are no supermarkets around and it is a bit remote, so you can relax for that reason. Marine sports, swimming pools and a private beach can be enjoyed. The private beach is about 5 minutes away by shuttle bus. The breakfast is varied and very tasty. Egg dishes and sweets are particularly recommended. The water temperature and water pressure in the showers is good. A taxi is needed to get anywhere. It takes a long time to get to your room as the hotel are large and the building is huge. There were about 10 ants on the beds. The area under the beds and on the floor needs improvement as it is not well cleaned. The fridge is not very cold.

We stayed at the Sakala Hotel in Bali for 30 days in July. The service was absolutely top-notch! The staff were incredibly warm and always tried to assist us with every request. The hotel is very well maintained, and the food is of the highest quality. The beach at the location is not suitable for swimming, as there are water sports activities taking place there. However, there is an alternative with a shuttle service to a small private beach owned by the hotel. The only downside for us was the continuous music, which made it difficult to find a quiet spot to take a phone call, work remotely, read a book, or simply enjoy some peace and quiet.

What a wonderful experience at the sakala resort. From the minute we walked in until we left we were treated like royalty. Excellent, friendly staff that saw to all our needs. Food and entertainment was also very good. Evan was amazing with his outstanding personality and helpfulness. Will certainly be back here

We spent 4 lovely nights at the Sakala Resort during our family holiday to Bali. The Pool View 2 bedroom suite was absolutely stunning and was made up each day. The service was outstanding and the facilities were great. While here, our 8yo and 4yo utilised the Kids Club twice. On both occasions, Tisha and Ari looked after the kids. The service was absolutely tip top. The communication was fantastic; we received regular updates via WhatsApp including photos and videos of activities. Thank you so much Tisha and Ari. The activities were very enjoyable with the kids asking to return all the time. Location is a bit out of the way allowing for a good opportunity to disconnect and relax. Team Sakala; Suksma 🙏.

Here's a polished version of your review: "I recently had the misfortune of staying at this hotel, which fell woefully short of its 5-star rating. Not only were the rooms subpar, but the service was also inadequate. Despite repeatedly reporting a cold ventilation issue, the staff insisted it was centrally controlled and couldn't be adjusted. However, housekeeping consistently left the air conditioning on, despite my explicit requests to turn it off when the room was unoccupied. During my three consecutive bookings, I was dismayed by the condition of the basement room I was moved to during my final days. It was dusty, unclean, and had a musty odor. To make matters worse, the shower drainage was clogged on my last day, causing water to accumulate in the bathroom. The aging toilet was malodorous and added to the unpleasantness. Unfortunately, my stay was further marred by catching a cold that persisted for a week, likely due to the suboptimal conditions. While some staff members were friendly, others were not, and the assurances made were not fulfilled. Overall, my experience was highly unsatisfactory, and I would not recommend this hotel.

Resort is massive and is very well built. Location is amazing, right at the beach. The stay was good and staff was very helpful. Resort offers variety of complimentary activities in the property at different times. Overall experience was great minus the time wasted by the Wyndham club sales and marketing staff who took more than an hour to sell their membership. The rooms and interior furnishings seemed to be bit old but are maintained.

Awesome and luxurious resort. The staff are very accommodating. It comes with different kinds of food Japanese and Indonesian food are delicious and it’s Muslim friendly, that have halal menu.. Accommodation is luxurious but the price is very reasonable.. they many amenities where guests can enjoy their stay within the resort.. Our stay was awesome and we wish to comeback again..

Beautiful Resort with Real Balinese Charm Ayodya is a stunning resort that combines luxury with authentic Balinese style. Even though it’s a large resort, it still feels like you’re really in Bali, which is rare for big places. They host lots of cultural activities inspired by Bali, making the experience feel even more genuine. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and comfortable—ideal for relaxing after a busy day. The resort has several beautiful pools, and the beachfront is fantastic. After exploring the area, we agreed Ayodya has the best stretch of beach around. The staff were friendly and attentive, always ready to help. The management team was especially impressive, going out of their way to meet our needs quickly and making us feel well cared for. The food was also excellent, with a good selection of restaurants. We especially enjoyed the Indian and Japanese options. If there’s a small downside, it’s that the cocktails can be a bit hit or miss, but with a big menu, there’s plenty to try. Overall, we highly recommend Ayodya. It’s perfect if you want a large resort experience but still want to feel the local Balinese culture.

Spent a week at Ayodya in a group of 17 people (adults and kids), all inclusive! Couldn't complain about a single thing. Yes the rooms are dated, but they are beautifully Balinese and grand. The bed and sofa are comfy, the room is big, the balcony is well maintained and the bathroom is massive with good water pressure and amenities. The pool areas are impeccable and we never struggled to get a bed for 17 of us , even when the resort was fully booked. Food was great! Good portion sizes, always tasty , and served quickly. In all inclusive, everything was included except room service and one page of the menu at Japanese. Drinks list was massive and so much to choose from . The lobby area is unbelievable. Incredible architecture, a lovely breeze and drinks served if you want. Can't fault the staff, who were all attentive,said hello and tried on every occasion to make our stay a great one. Nusa Dua is a quiet area, with not too much around however the beach is beautiful, a few rows of shops very close by as well as spas (who pick you up) and restaurants. Would love to come back!

Beautiful Resort with Authentic Balinese Charm Ayodya Resort Bali is a stunning blend of luxury and traditional Balinese style. Despite its size, it feels intimate and connected to the local culture, with unique activities and a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The resort has gorgeous pools, and the beachfront is one of the best in the area. The staff were wonderful—friendly and attentive. A special thanks to Sulastri at breakfast, who made our mornings feel even brighter with her warm hospitality. We also loved the food, especially the Indian and Japanese options. Highly recommended for a true Balinese experience in a large resort!

I actually had to move locations after the 3rd day, I booked Bali Tropic through my travel agent as I’ve never been to Bali before but had I known what I know now, I would recommend to stay elsewhere. The service was very good, staff was very friendly and accommodating, however, Bali Tropic is quite dated. The bathtub in my room leaked and I had tiny ants crawling all over the bathroom area day and night. In addition, the food at the breakfast buffet made me feel ill.

Nat T

All up, enjoyed my stay at Bali Tropic. The staff were super attentive and friendly and offered stunning service. The buffet breakfast was also very plentiful and delicious. The resort grounds were also lush and green and very well maintained. However, the rooms were quite old and dated hence the lower rating. This resulted in a musty smell. There was also a mould patch in the bathroom, little ants and insects scurrying across the walls and quite a bit of wear and tear. The facilities also did not live up to expectations and the price paid. While the pool was very nice and included a swim up bar, the private beach was quite dirty. It also smelt strongly of fuel in the beach area as ships would apparently refuel nearby. There were also other facilities such as a gym, bocce, darts and a mini library. These facilities were quite worn out and the mini library was outdoors and had books that had become mouldy due to the climate. If Bali tropic changes and upgrades its rooms and facilities, it would be even better.

This was our second visit to Bali and our fourth stay in a 4* hotel. We spent four nights at Bali Tropic Resort and Spa and had a mixed experience. The resort has a beautiful beachfront with a lovely garden and plenty of water sports options. The shallow, calm water is ideal for relaxing, making it great for a laid-back beach day. Unfortunately, the deluxe rooms we booked were underwhelming. The amenities were adequate, with combined bathroom and bedroom space. The toilet had a strong, persistent odor despite a large fan running continuously. The view from our balcony was disappointing, facing a building just three meters away with ongoing construction. This made our room unbearably noisy from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., preventing any chance of rest. After requesting a quieter option, we were relocated to different rooms on the opposite side of the building, which improved the noise situation. It's outrageous surprising the management considered the original rooms suitable for guests on vacation. Breakfast was decent, with pastries being a highlight, though the coffee fell short. We also tried the chicken satay, fish and chips, breaded chicken, and pizza; the pizzas were average, and the chicken lacked flavor. Overall, Bali Tropic Resort and Spa feels overpriced compared to other five-star and even some four-star hotels in Bali. For the same rate, there are several better options available nearby. :(

I recently stayed at this property for a few days and, overall, the experience was a mixed bag. The resort itself is nice and cozy, with well-maintained grounds and good amenities. The food served here was quite enjoyable, and I appreciated the variety and quality of the meals. The pool was a highlight, very clean and perfect for relaxing, and most of the staff were friendly and attentive. One thing also disliked was the beach access, which was average as you can see in pics —not directly beachfront. Unfortunately, my biggest disappointment was the room. Despite paying a decent amount, the view from the room was underwhelming, opening up to absolutely nothing of interest. I expected at least a partial view, but instead, it felt quite gloomy. I asked at least open view room within same category since I was traveling with a toddler which I was denied despite seeing few empty rooms. I offered to pay extra too. To add to the frustration, the receptionist who checked us in seemed indifferent, almost sadistic in her approach—definitely not the warm welcome I expected. While the rest of the staff were courteous, the room itself didn't live up to the price I paid, and the lack of a decent view really dampened the overall experience. For these reasons, I’m giving it two stars.

Eleonora Wungo

Rooms are good but giving too old vibe. Services are great, best with their spa promotion and huge discounts for all hotel guests. Private beach and breakfast with the beach view are great, but the foods are average with mostly western food only. Only 2-3 asian theme but not particularly Indonesian or Bali which a minus I think because sometimes you want to try local food when travel. While the hotel design itself already very Bali vibe. Will come back again for the spa 😉

Richie

Overall the staff and hotel is great, good amount of restaurants as well. However, we booked the executive room thinking it'd be nice for a 4 night stay but it was really underwhelming. Especially the bathroom. It was old, run down, definitely not what we expected. The whole room including the bathroom had very low lighting, not sure why. TV is very old, no YouTube or Netflix! Bed was comfy but other than that, had no reason to relax in the room (other than the AC). Gym was very old, machines were from 1970s. Will not stay here again.

We honeymooned at the Nusa Dua Beach and Spa 25 years ago and returned for our silver wedding anniversary. We were delighted to see that things had not changed much. The staff were super friendly and some were still there from our first visit 25 years ago. We stayed in a palace club suite and when we arrived there were rose petals on our bed, flowers in the room and decorative features which made our arrival from our 17 hour flight really welcoming. We had the use of the Palace Club which allowed us complimentary lovely breakfasts, afternoon tea and cocktails overlooking the beautiful gardens. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility from our room overlooking the gardens. We sampled all of the restaurants and they were all excellent. The pool was lovely and we enjoyed the private white sand beach. A truly awesome stay made fabulous by the care and attention to detail by the lovely staff who did everything they could to make our stay exceptional.

Maisie Holloway

Absolutely love this hotel. We have been there 12 times. The staff are always very smiley and nothing is to much trouble for them. The restaurants all serve delicious food. The beach area is very clean with great comfortable loungers. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Thomas Nowland

We had a pleasant stay, largely thanks to the lovely staff at the hotel. We booked a club room, which gave us access to the club lounge, and the team there was incredibly attentive and welcoming. They even upgraded us, which was a nice surprise! Our room was comfortable, though it could use a refresh. The lagoon was a nice spot to relax, but the main pool was disappointing. The water felt like a hot bath—uncomfortably hot, even for Bali, and we’ve never experienced anything like it before. The swim-up bar lacked energy; the staff seemed a bit unenthused, and with the pool’s heat, we couldn’t finish our drinks fast enough. While the pool area looks beautiful, the experience wasn’t enjoyable. On a positive note, we loved the bikes available for guests; they were well-maintained, and the staff handling them were friendly and helpful. Overall, the staff made our stay, but the hotel itself could use some updates.”

MARIA DIMITROPOULOU

Beautiful place right next to Nusa Dua beach and not far from Denpasar International Airport. The lobby looks awesome with far east exotic ambience and swift check in procedures. The rooms are big enough with elegant decoration and wonderful sea view. The staff is super nice and the food is 10/10 for both domestic and international cuisine. A number of activities are available every day in case you want to stay in the premises day or night. Tourist excurtions to the island's attractions can be arranged with the front desk, upon request.

Joline Choo

The room was big enough for us 2 adults and 2 kids, was clean and bed was comfortable. The pool was huge and not overcrowded. Beach was right at the door step. There were bicycles , balls for loan as well for free. Buffet spread for breakfast was amazing, we went for the noodles kiosk daily! Lastly; the service from everybody was beyond expectation, every staff was so courteous and helpful. it was mind blowing that all the staff was well mannered and polite. It was the best hotel out of our 3 hotels in Bali, we will definitely be back!

Nicolas Q

Overall a great hotel. Fantastic breakfast, great rooms and nice staff. The pool / private beach space is quite big and it almost feels like paradise. Only 2 issues we encountered during our 1 week stay: -there is a beach club almost inside the hotel but with different management. It’s great and we went there for lunch on most days but one day they had a crazy party from 3pm to 11 with extremely loud bass that I could hear clearly from my room even with closed windows. -kids. Way too many kids. If you want to relax near the main pool forget about it there will be kids screaming most of the times. If you think you’re smart and go near the second small pool with no kids, well some families seating near the main pool will decide to go with their kids in this one instead to scream and jump for some reason. I would happily have paid twice what I paid if this was an adult only resort, the kids were annoying to the point we had to go to another hotel pool some days to relax. Either get rid of all kids or put some adult only rules in one of the pools.

We stayed at the Sofitel Nusa Dua in a one-bedroom villa with a plunge pool to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was an unforgettable experience. The private pool villa was amazing, offering the perfect blend of comfort and privacy. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff. The room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel facilities were excellent, and having direct access to the beach. The food was great—every meal was a treat for the senses. We truly had an incredible stay and can’t wait to return in the future. Highly recommended!

Janet Hall

My husband and I spent 7 luxurious days to celebrate my 75th birthday. The staff were outstanding with their happy smiles and hellos and impeccable service. We loved our days starting with a gym workout and delicious buffet breakfast. Then we walked on the beach, swam in the huge pool terraces and just relaxed. Our room was just lovely with a huge bed and lots of room to spread out. Most evenings we dined on the beach to drink in the lovely cocktail and the twilight sparkling.

Anaira Stitchenson

The stay was just absolutely beautiful! Mainly stayed at the resort- hanging out at the pools and having divine lunches. Definitely recommend the So.Spa!! Had an amazing foot massage by the beautiful Suparmi. 5 stars and a big thank you to all Sofitel staff for being so welcoming and thoughtful throughout the whole trip! Whether it was from simply saying friendly “Hello’s” in the hallways, to ensuring that we felt happy and comfortable- it made the trip truly special and memorable. 💕☺️ Thank you again and I recommend to experience the amazing hotel yourself!! 🤗

My husband and I came here as our first hotel on our honeymoon. We did the all inclusive and it was nice to not limit ourselves because they also offer non all inclusive. We stayed in a regular room, which was good with us because we didn’t spend much time in the room. The rooms definitely need to be updated, as they are doing renovations from my understanding soon, so that’s good they acknowledge that! I am gluten free and they had a lot of food options if you asked! They have gluten free bread, pasta and pizza! Also the coffee shop on site has gluten free pastries which was included in the all inclusive. Everyone there was great and very friendly. We also enjoyed the spa the day after we got there after our long flight and it was wonderful. The resort is pretty kid focused but the kids never bothered us. We were only there for a few nights which we thought was more than enough and wish the breakfast varied a little more day to day, but the juices at breakfast were always top notch & it was nice to have an egg station. They do not mark allergens on the buffet, which would have been a huge help to me, but I just ate what I knew I could. Overall, it was great for relaxing as a first stop on our honeymoon but I don’t think we would have wanted to stay there longer than 4 nights!

I really wanted to give this hotel a higher rating, but after some thought, this is the best I can do. My family opted for the all-inclusive package and tried to experience everything the resort had to offer. The kids loved the Kids Club—no complaints there. My wife and I made use of the sporting facilities, including the squash courts (which are air-conditioned but have a deteriorating floor), tennis courts, and bikes for rides along the beach path. However, the entire resort feels quite outdated, nowhere near a five-star standard. They are planning renovations soon, so I would suggest waiting to book until after those are complete. We’ve visited Bali before and know how to be cautious with the water, but despite being careful, both my wife and I got Bali belly at different times. After considering all the factors, we believe it came from the drinks, which was quite frustrating. There’s essentially only one pool everyone can use unless you’ve booked one of the exclusive ones, which limits the experience. Room service food was subpar compared to other resorts we’ve stayed at on the island. Some of the restaurants, like the Japanese one, were exceptional—truly top-tier—but others, like El Patio, were lacking in quality. One big issue was the pool chairs. There’s a rule that towels left unattended will be removed, but it’s not enforced. We found the same guests claiming the best spots every morning, leaving their belongings there for hours without showing up. Enforcing this rule would really help others enjoy those prime spots closer to the pool. The buzzers for ordering food or drinks by the pool rarely worked, although the staff, when they did come by, were always friendly and helpful. The YHI Spa is easily a five-star experience—my wife and I both had multiple massages, and each one was fantastic. The rooms are in desperate need of renovation. The bathrooms are dated, with poor water pressure and small, outdated shower heads. It just doesn't feel like a five-star resort in this condition. On a positive note, the gardens are beautifully maintained and a pleasure to walk through. In summary, while there were some high points, especially the spa and some of the restaurants, the resort is currently not at the five-star level it claims to be. I’d recommend waiting until after the renovation to see if it improves.

Mark Howard

Had leaky AC in the room and also very noisy and rattled. However, maintenance guy’s cane and fixed it quickly so thumbs to their service and efficiency. Great room, we had a lagoon pool suite, was great. Food average at the hotel so we ate our after the first night

Doli Shah

We wish we had read the reviews before booking. Despite notifying the hotel about our vegetarian dietary needs, breakfast was the same every day. We had to keep asking different chefs for something different, but nothing changed. The hotel claims to have multiple pools, but we were restricted to one. Good luck finding a beach bed if you’re not up by 9 am. We expected the warm Balinese hospitality we’ve experienced elsewhere, but it was missing here. Overall, very dissatisfied and felt it was a waste of money.

KC_was Here

Room was nice. Had a swim up suite. Pool water was nice and clean. Rooms were a little noisy from neighbors. Service was excellent everywhere on property. Not much else to say. Location could have been better. We rented bikes and got to see some of the beaches at other nearby resorts. From the sand to the water seemed much better than what Malia offers. If you are coming for the beach it was disappointing. Other complaints include seemingly limited alcohol selections for The Level package we selected. The better name brand alcohol cost more so it wasn't included. Ran out of sake for us at the Japanese restaurant. Didn't have any more mascal at Sorento. Just little things like that added up. Overall liked the hotel, but for the money it could have been better.

Deb Doherty

We went for Sunday brunch and wow!! We got the all you can eat and drink package. Not cheap but worth it for an occasional indulgence. Huge variety of food on the buffet and you can also order from the menu. The chef also sends out delightful little tasters. Imported wines, top shelf spirits and delectable cocktails all included. Overlooking the crystal clear waters of the beach. Perfect for a birthday, anniversary or just a luxury treat its definitely a must do.

10 “Calm, Relaxing -A perfect gateway to Paradise ” I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Mulia Resort, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome that made us feel like valued guests. The hospitality throughout our stay was exceptional; every staff member went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable time. The resort itself is stunning, with a pristine, clean beach that offers the perfect setting for relaxation. The attention to detail in maintaining the cleanliness of the property was evident everywhere—from the beautifully landscaped grounds to the spotless rooms and public areas. One of the highlights was how attentive the staff was to our needs. Any request we made was immediately considered, and the service was prompt and friendly. This level of responsiveness truly enhanced our experience. As we were celebrating our 25th anniversary, the Mulia team made the occasion even more special by surprising us with a lovely gift: a bottle of sparkling wine and chocolates, which was a thoughtful and heartwarming gesture. Overall, our stay at the Mulia Resort exceeded all expectations. The combination of incredible hospitality, a breathtaking location, and personalized touches made it a truly special place to celebrate such a significant milestone. Our hearts were touched, and we look forward to returning in the future. Highly recommend!

My stay at The Mulia Bali was absolutely excellent. The resort is breathtaking, with its pristine beachfront, lush gardens, and stunning pools. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and offer incredible comfort. The staff went above and beyond, ensuring every need was met with a smile. Dining options were exceptional, offering diverse and delicious cuisines. The attention to detail and level of luxury truly set The Mulia apart. It’s a paradise I can’t wait to return to!

The Mulia Resort in Bali is an absolute paradise! From the moment you arrive, the stunning beachfront views and lush gardens set the perfect tone for relaxation. The service is impeccable, staff are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The pools are magnificent, and the dining options offer a delightful array of flavors, especially the breakfast buffet! The luxurious rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, ensuring ultimate comfort. Whether you're indulging in a spa treatment or enjoying the vibrant nightlife nearby, every moment feels like a dream. Highly recommended for a rejuvenating getaway!

Steven Lee

First time was really breathtaking, aside from coming in at night, daytime was more majestic✨ The staffs here were well trained and courteous. Food was extremely excellent with vast array of goodness to choose from. Beach access is a huge plus as well as it's pool selection. Kids pool section was also fun‼️ Room however is on a dim side, would much prefer lighting a bit more, but lovin the high tech toilet seat 👍🏻 All in all, if it was with family, would spend it here. But if I were to go solo, I'd much prefer a more natural and laid back style of a hotel/villa. Thank you to the management for making my family's experience a most pleasant stay here 👍🏻✨
