Alila Manggis

Review of Alila Manggis: A Charming Retreat in Original Bali Alila Manggis is a delightful resort that captures the essence of original Bali, embodying a spirit of slow living that allows you to unwind and truly relax. The charming ambiance and serene surroundings make it the perfect getaway. Unlike the commercialise of other areas of Bali. The breakfast offered is of impressive quality, with the porridge being a standout dish that I highly recommend. I didn’t have the chance to try the other dining venues, but I’ve heard good things about them. The centerpiece of the resort is undoubtedly the stunning pool, which provides a picturesque spot to lounge and soak up the sun. My room was comfortable and well-kept, with a simple design that reflects the local aesthetic. However, I did wish for a bathtub to enhance the bathing experience. The grounds of Alila Manggis are beautifully maintained, staying true to the Balinese concept with lush greenery and a clean, inviting atmosphere. Overall, Alila Manggis is a charming resort that offers a slice of paradise in Bali. It’s a perfect choice for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a tranquil retreat.

We had a hugely enjoyable 10 night stay at Alila Manggis. The hotel itself is beautifully designed - the water features and lighting are particularly stunning - and everything is extremely well maintained. Our deluxe room was very comfortable and it was a joy to lie on the daybed on the balcony. The restaurant is great - an excellent breakfast and I'm going to miss the fantastic club sandwiches by the pool. The complimentary afternoon tea became an enjoyable ritual. But above all it was the staff who made our stay. Every single person was charming and genuinely helpful - after a couple of days so many of them knew our names which made us feel extremely welcome and was a wonderful personal touch. Lastly, the hotel's response to some construction work noise out of their control was also exemplary - they could not have handled it better. I would recommend without hesitation.

This hotel has excellent service and rooms. They pay attention to the smallest details to make your trip is relaxing as possible. I noticed a difference when they first picked us up from the harbor. The driver had cold water and towels for us, which were well needed given the weather. Once we got to the hotel, the staff took care of our luggage and had us sit in the lobby couch while they took care of all the check in documents. It was a very relaxing process. The Friday night seafood BBQ was excellent with the live music providing a very relaxing environment. The hotel staff also arranged for room service to open half an hour earlier, so we could get our breakfast before our 7am departure. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at the Alila Mathis, and I wish I stayed longer.

If you want to truly treat yourself to a blissful experience then this is the place for that to happen. The staff are genuinely warm and friendly. They are delighted to assist in any way they are able to. The food is of a very high standard as is the service. This is a place to relax and close out the world and when you are ready simply take part in one of the fabulous day trip experiences on offer. I am looking forward to coming back.

Hotel is very far from airport (2 hours by car). The scenery is good. It is by the sea so you can hear the waves all day long, night time especially. One setback is that the hotel is really far from everywhere. There’s nothing much near hotel so be expected that you may have to eat in hotel all day. If you are looking for a very quiet place to escape from the busy city life, it is a place you should look for.

Alila Manggis has become our timeless family retreat. We’ve been coming back here again and again — and for good reason. The atmosphere is peaceful, the rooms are beautifully maintained, and the staff are always so warm and welcoming. Dining is always a delight; each dish is thoughtfully curated with fresh, local ingredients that showcase the best of Balinese flavors. We also love the activities especially the tai chi and sunrise yoga sessions by the sea. It’s the perfect mix of relaxation and connection with nature. It honestly feels like a second home. Can’t wait for our next stay!

My Wife and I started our 2 week honeymoon trip here in Manggis and the resort was nothing short of amazing. The staff were kind, the food was amazing, and the resort itself was a dream. They catered to all of our needs and made us feel like we were at home the entire trip. I highly recommend staying here if you ever come to this area as it is a quite and intimate part of Bali.

If you’re looking a quiet yet comfortable place, it is. Wave sounds, the breeze, completely enjoyable with a great staff from Alila. We thank to Wedha especially and all staff for sincere gesture and really helpful. The room quite dated, but the amenities still comforting. Not much experience, the pool and sea side garden I think really enough if you wanna take some break time. Will be back if any chance to come.
