Nusa Dua Holidays

I loved everything about this resort!! From the super friendly and accommodating staff to the marvelous breakfast I enjoyed every morning. The staff at breakfast make it their business to learn your name. They greet you with such joy! The food was a smorgasbord of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. Everything was delicious. We didn’t have an itinerary but the staff connected us with everything we wanted to do. I love this place and you will too!

A 5-Star Resort with a 6-Star Heart: The Sakala Resort Nusa Dua, Bali My recent stay at The Sakala Resort Nusa Dua was nothing short of extraordinary. This 5-star resort exceeded my expectations in every way, but it was the staff's warmth and genuine hospitality that truly made our stay unforgettable. Our lower-ground unit was immaculately clean and well-maintained, with every detail carefully considered. But it was the resort's facilities that truly shone: - Multiple pools to choose from, each with its own unique character - A stunning beach club with direct access to the beach and a range of water sports - Exceptional dining at the resort's restaurant, with a menu that catered to every taste and craving - A state-of-the-art gym that was fully equipped and immaculately maintained - A serene wellness spa that offered blissful treatments and a tranquil atmosphere But what truly set The Sakala Resort apart was its staff. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family – with warmth, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm. They went above and beyond to make our stay special, even surprising us with a romantic room decoration and celebration after a surprise engagement. If you're looking for a resort that truly embodies the spirit of Bali, look no further than The Sakala Resort. This is more than a 5-star resort – it's a home away from home, where every guest is treated like royalty. I would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone visiting Bali. Rating: 6/5 stars (yes, it's that good!)

We had a two-night stay at this hotel, and overall it was quite enjoyable. The hotel has a stunning lobby and an amazing outdoor pool with a poolside bar where you can order drinks and food while relaxing in the pool. However, there's room for improvement in the bar menu, as the cocktail options were limited, and the bartenders, although friendly, could benefit from expanding their drink-making knowledge. The room was clean, and we loved its beautiful design. Breakfast was excellent, with many options to choose from. The restaurant's layout was a bit inconvenient, as different food sections were spread far apart, requiring multiple trips back and forth. Consolidating the food into one area would greatly improve the dining experience. Regarding location, being right by the beach was a plus, but the hotel is rather far from the city, making it a bit inconvenient for those looking to enjoy the nightlife. Despite this, I would still recommend this hotel, as our overall experience was pleasant and enjoyable.

As a former Ritz Carlton culinary management employee in the US, I believe I can corroborate that the Sakala Hotel is absolutely a 5 stars establishment. Me and my family spent last weekend there and everything was top notch. Incredible staff attention, a beautiful and great size room, good food, and amazing location. Major plus for parents is their kids club where the kiddos really had fun and didn't want to leave, which really allowed my wife and I to enjoy our time even more. First time there, but definitely not the last. The whole family is looking forward to staying there again !

Beware of the cancellation policy prior to booking. We made a booking at this hotel for July 2025 and believe that the promise of a private beachfront hotel are quite exaggerated with only a small sectioned off area to fit that criteria. We asked for a refund and were told no, as per their booking policy. I have since asked twice for an explanation as to why they cannot refund and have not received a response. Had I booked with a secondary site such as booking.com etc... the price was fully refundable, but when booking direct, you are not entitled. Be very, very careful and vigilant when booking direct. Your money is much safer through a secondary site.

The hotel lobby is stunning, sadly this is where the 5* ends. The rooms are dated, worn and not cleaned to any standard. Stains on the wall, the seating and floor. The bathroom was grim, what looked like years of soap residue build up on the floor and tiles. The hotel did offer a deep clean but that was an insult. The lifts are disgusting, brown splats, smeared cloudy mirrors and dirt all gathered round the edges of the floors. The hotel offered another room which was better but as they prepared we went to get food and found a real 5* hotel to check into. This hotel Star rating must have been achieved on a back hander. There was no way I'd rest my head or get showered here. Not even complementary water for the room which is standard in any 5*. Emirates did their best to obtain a refund for the unused nights but the hotel declined. I like to think they'll invest my money into improving their standards, but it'll take a lot more than a weeks stay. If you want 5* check into the Renaissance Nusa Dua, a stunning real 5* experience start to finish.

Our recent 11 day stay at the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa was nothing short of magnificent. This authentic Balinese-styled resort, nestled on Bali's pristine southern peninsula just 15 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport, truly captures the essence of paradise. While the hotel boasts five distinct dining venues, our mornings at Wedang Jahe Restaurant were particularly memorable. This idyllic restaurant, surrounded by a tropical lotus pond, offers an international buffet breakfast with endless choices of global and local dishes. The culinary options were excellent overall, though I would suggest adding more variety for guests who exclusively eat seafood, outside of the already outstanding sushi selections available at Maguro Asian Bistro. What truly elevated our experience was the extraordinary service from the staff. The team at Wedang Jahe Restaurant deserves special recognition - Sumerti, Agus, Surmurti, Aryathi, Abdi, and Yudi Arianto provided exceptional care that brightened our mornings and set a positive tone for each day. Agus and Sumerti deserve particular praise for their attentiveness to dietary preferences. Without hesitation, they ensured my husband received a special egg-free breakfast daily, while meticulously preparing my omelet exactly to my specifications. This level of personalized service made us feel genuinely valued as guests. What sets this resort apart is its commitment to authentic Balinese design and hospitality. Unlike some other properties in the area, Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa offers a genuine taste of Bali through its architecture, décor, and warm service approach. With its prime beachfront location, comprehensive amenities, and staff who consistently go above and beyond, this hotel has captured our hearts. We are already planning our return to this slice of paradise in Nusa Dua. Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or cultural immersion, Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa delivers an unforgettable Balinese experience that will exceed your expectations.

Beautiful grounds right on the beach. Amenities are ample and luxurious. Really enjoyed our stay here. Rooms could do with a bit of love - air con wouldn’t cool room below 25°C so was a bit warm trying to sleep at night. We did flag this but it wasn’t rectified. The bathroom also had a lot of limescale and black mould. I appreciate this is hard to keep on top of in a humid climate but you would expect better from a five star resort. Breakfast was brilliant, so much choice and all the food and drink were fresh and high quality.

Eddie Hinspeter

Staff were exceptional and helpful special mention to the kitchen and dining room staff "matur suksma." Food was first class and 24hr room service. Reception was professional and a very welcoming experience. If there was a down side the price of alcohol and soft drinks was a little high but that was a minor issue.

Mandy Woodstock

Must admit the rooms do need an update, but everything else about the hotel is fantastic. Beach location, 3 pools - one with swim up bar & beautiful well kept gardens. The food at all restaurants was 5 star, breakfast buffet with so much choice & food served everywhere well presented and delicious. Staff throughout the hotel, always said hello & were friendly and helpful. As you can tell absolutely loved my stay!!

This hotel has elevated its products and services. During my stay, I could clearly see and feel several positive enhancements throughout the resort. They were closed during Covid, but now they’re back in full swing — with many guests enjoying their holidays by the pool and around the beach. The atmosphere is full of positive vibes. Many of the staff remain the same and continue to treat guests like family, with genuine care. It truly feels like a second home for returning guests. I stayed in a Suite — it was spacious and luxurious, yet still carried a strong traditional Balinese feel in almost every corner, which is something most European guests really appreciate about this resort. I enjoyed the refreshments during Afternoon Tea, followed by Pre-Dinner Canapés where you can sip a drink while watching the sunset. The beach is absolutely stunning. The staff are professional and genuinely try their best to be warm and accommodating to each and every guest. I understand it can be challenging, especially during busy times like breakfast or meal service, but they handle it from the heart. I also had the pleasure of meeting Cici from Sales — we had a lovely, uplifting chat. With the guidance of their new GM, Mr. Vineet, the resort feels brighter than ever and clearly on its way to the next level. Thank you, Ayodya, for making my stay such a memorable one.

Ayodya resort - it has been an amazing 5 days. Amazing surroundings, a real Balinese feeling as soon as we arrived. Very welcoming staff and always polite and attentive. Great choices of food and great quality of food in all of the restaurants. Rooms are well equipped, a little dated, but still comfortable and clean. Swimming pools and the beach were the highlight of our experiences here. The visit to the spa was a luxurious way to relax for a few hours. Highly recommend this resort for anyone wanting to visit Bali.

Dave Crafter

We had our first trip to Nusa Dua and Ayodya did not let us down. We had 6 nights all inclusive in the Ayodya Palace (1588). The room was amazing, the staff were so friendly and nothing was too much. The breakfast in the Ayodya Palace was next level. We stayed with some friends and we all had young children. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful to us all. Whether you were in the main pool or by the beach all staff were friendly and attentive. There is so much to do there, plenty of games for the family, multiple restaurants and cultural experiences if you wish to immerse yourself in Balinese culture. The main small shopping strip is also only a short walk from the resort. Highly recommended staying at Ayodya, we all had such a wonderful experience and will definitely visit again. Big shout out to Wahyu and Pande for their impeccable service every evening down at the beach club. Thank you to all the staff 🙏

Ayodya was our first stop on a 3 location trip to Bali. The hotel itself is really beautiful. To my understanding, it was designed to look like an old palace and it really has an amazing look to it, that I really made me feel like I was in a special and genuine place. The room was nice, but not pristine. It wasn't an issue for me, but I can understand where it may be an issue for some. The resort grounds are well kept and the service is fantastic. All the people are very friendly and super helpful. They addressed any issues immediately, without hesitation. If you're a tranquil beach person, the best time is super early. My lady and I would go at sunrise and the water is crystal clear, and tranquil. Some parts may have a bit of a current, but it doesn't get deep until a ways out. I did have to wear water shoes because there are some rocks throughout as well as shells and coral. As the day progresses, I found the waves to get very strong, before again receding far back. The waterfall restaurant always hit the spot, with the included, international breakfast. While all the employees were very nice, Sulastri absolutely went out of her way to make sure we were content in our visit. Ganesha, the Indian restaurant, was also fantastic!

The rooms were just fine. The Checkin process was not at all smooth. The staff don’t even care . They delayed our Checkin from 2PM to 4:30PM. Though we got an upgrade because of the delay into the palace rooms the palace rooms flush was not working, the space to take a shower is so small and the coffee machine provided was broken. The hairdryer was so smelly. I heard so much better about Ayodya than that. Most of the staffs were very kind and caring. They tried their best for a good stay. Service was sometime fast or very slow. There were 4 places to eat. Genji Japanese which we did not try ,Ganesha Indian which was tasty but food did not seem fresh., Ayodhya Lounge which did not have much varieties ( deserts were the best), Waterfall which was not at all good. The place had very good facility like club, Beach, Outdoor Chess/Ludo/beanbag toss, ball toss, etc. The lake was beautiful to look at and the temple was amazing. My family enjoyed the facilities a lot. It was located in a place that was very far from other destinations in nusa dua comparing to other hotels in nusa dua . As a conclusion, I would like to summarize the good and bad points Good : - Facilities - Staff - Beauty - Beach Bad: - Rooms - Checkin I must visit this place again as it is one of the best beach resorts I have been to but next time I will prefer a different type of room. 3/5 Stars

The Bali Tropic resort is an older resort in the traditional Balinese style. Personally I appreciated the Balinese design and liked this aspect but they could probably make a few small updates to give it a fresher look. However I do NOT recommend booking a deluxe room. These are all in one small building tucked into the back of the resort with half looking directly into the back of another building. The majority of the resort is the deluxe bungalows which are nice and spacious. I choose to upgrade after seeing the deluxe room and I suggest the same for others. The staff are all extremely friendly and you can see they try hard to make you enjoy your stay. The general demographic was 90% Europeans aged in their 50-70s on the all-inclusive package. This meant that there was a lot of people drinking at the pool bar and smoking around the pool all day which wasn’t ideal for our young family. Suggestion for improvement- if you want to be family friendly then there must be a non smoking area by the pool. Lastly the food was very average. We ate at the restaurant and ordered room service and found it all very underwhelming. Breakfast buffet is fine but for anything more I would eat elsewhere.

David Wilson

This was a great resort to visit. Its an older resort built in traditional Balinese style with carved doors and Balinese inspired rooms. While being older the staff are exceptional and service was amazing. We had an all inclusive package which is well and truly worth it. Chika the main pool bar tender is amazing. Highly recommend this resort. Sadly they have closed their kids club. Otherwise I have nothing negative I could say.

Mia McDonald

Our stay at the Bali Tropical resort and spa was absolutely amazing. Excellent value for money with the all inclusive package, food was amazing and good quality and the staff were very helpful in regard to me having allergies. The facilities were clean and very well maintained and the daily activities they run were amazing and also included with the price of all inclusive, I went on a snorkeling tour on a boat all for free! I would recommend going to this resort and hope to return soon. Also special mention to Dicka he was amazing very kind, friendly and helpful

steven finch

Spent a week here, rooms were excellent really liked the Bali architecture through out the resort, staff are very friendly and helpful. All inclusive plan is great value. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this resort.

Chris Marriott

This a 3 star hotel at best. The best thing about it is the lovely staff, they are to be commended, could not fault them. It’s not clean and very tired. The pool needs a good clean as well. The way they serve the all inclusive beer is ridiculous and I did put a bit of a complaint but it fell on deaf ears. If I hadn’t done all inclusive at 2 other hotels, I wouldn’t have anything to compare it with but for the same price, this one comes in at the bottom of the three so far, won’t be going back. I hate doing negative reviews but couldn’t let this one go, sorry 😞

Lois Stevenson

The best place I have ever stayed in. The staff were amazing, so friendly. Rooms were superb and food fabulous. Plenty of restaurants and choice. Lots of sports activities available and evening trips. The best holiday I have ever had.

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!

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

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.

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.

Nesa Deskandini

Check in is convenient, seated in air conditioned room. The resort itself is well maintained. The resort surroundings and room is bright, airy, and with a lot of lightings which is important for me. We really appreciate sofitel can deliver our requested anniversary greetings for our 38th anniversary parents with very cute decoration upon checking in. And it is with no charge. Such a luxurious experience. The pool and pool bar is really nice. The beach is great as well, we cam swim in it. There is pathways at the beach for morningwalks to surroundings.

Jonathan & Christine

From the moment we arrived at Sofitel Bali, we were welcomed with such warmth and genuine smiles that instantly set the tone for a truly memorable stay. A special thank you to Ria from reception, who made our check-in seamless. Management also surprised us with a beautiful honeymoon cake and a room upgrade to a spacious suite in a perfect spot — we couldn’t have asked for a better start to our honeymoon! The attention to detail and care shown throughout our stay was outstanding. Our dinner at Cucina was another highlight, thanks to Sangi, who treated us like VIPs. The food was delicious, the ambiance romantic, and the service impeccable. Every staff member we encountered had a smiling face and went out of their way to ensure our comfort. This wasn’t just a stay — it was an experience we’ll always treasure. Thank you, Sofitel Bali, for making our honeymoon truly special. Keep up the amazing work!

Aurélia Kartika Becquart

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the impeccable location of Sofitel, perfectly situated for relaxation. The hotel's amenities exceeded expectations, from the beautifully designed rooms to the spa and gourmet dining options. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure a seamless and luxurious stay. What truly set this experience apart was the outstanding customer service! The staff went above and beyond, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask, making us feel genuinely valued and cared for. Every moment of our stay was effortless, allowing us to fully unwind and indulge in the elegance and comfort that Sofitel is known for. A true sanctuary of luxury and hospitality—we cannot wait to return!

Excellent Stay at Sofitel Nusa Dua We had an amazing stay at Sofitel Nusa Dua! The hotel is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, with a lush green territory that creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The service was top-notch, and the staff was always friendly and welcoming, making our experience even more enjoyable. The pool and beach area were comfortable and well-maintained, perfect for relaxation. The food was delicious, with excellent breakfast options that offered a great variety of dishes. A special highlight of our stay was the Club Millesime, which provided an exceptional experience. Overall, we highly recommend Sofitel Nusa Dua to anyone looking for a luxurious and enjoyable stay in Bali. We would definitely return!

Thomo Tommy

Moved from Seminiyak to Sofitel Nusa Dua and fell in love with the resort and the general location from the very start. Sofitel is a great, world-class resort with superb facilities all-round. Nusa Dua is a beautiful, modern and well planned part of Bali. This is where world leaders have conferences and meetings. Sofitel has a stunning reception area with views of the ocean. We loved our private plunge pool, large and expansive rooms. Unfortunately, my spouse who has a super sense of smell had issues with bad smells possibly coming out of the aircon or somewhere in the room. Our plunge pool had a few uneven tiles showing evidence of post construction repairs. These tiles posed a risk of injury in the pool Our biggest gripe was the Kwee Zeen restaurant where we were having our breakfast and buffet dinner. Kwee Zeen's offerings are a bit underwhelming. The food definitely needs an improvement in terms of variety and quality. Some of the attendants at Kwee Zeen had some challenges with their command of the English language thereby presenting a bit of a communication barrier. Unfortunately, we never had a chance to sample other restuarents such as Cucina restaurant. Manarai Beach house atmosphere was okay but the chicken wings we ordered were just too sweet. In terms of food offering we found the Toya Beach Bar and Grill had better quality than Manarai. The customer service at both Beach venues was excellent. Mey, at Manarai had excellent customer skills . She did welcome us and serve us very well. The guy who served us free ice cream at Toya Beach Bar was also superb. In general the people are great. The manager on duty at during our time was also immaculate. I think his name is Andrei. He handled the issue relating to our broken baggage immaculately. At checkout we were served by Febri who went over and above to make us feel at home. We will definitely come back to Sofitel Nusa Dua, in the hope that we will find better food at other restaurants such as Cucina or Kwee Zeen will have improved.
