The resort’s location is absolutely stunning. Surrounded by beautifully maintained ponds and the natural soundtrack of waves crashing along the shore, the setting creates an atmosphere that is both peaceful and rejuvenating. The property itself is impeccably landscaped and truly a pleasure to walk through.
What stood out the most was the exceptional level of service. The staff consistently demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and genuine hospitality. After briefly visiting a resort across the street for a snack and coffee, the difference in service quality was striking—the staff here provided a far superior experience in every regard.
The food was another highlight. The breakfast buffet offered an impressive variety of dishes, fresh fruit, and perfectly prepared coffee. Knowing breakfast was included made it an even better value. We also enjoyed several beachfront dinners; the meals were delicious, and the setting was romantic, relaxing, and unforgettable.
The on-site massage was an especially memorable experience. Listening to the waves while receiving the treatment created an incredibly calming environment. The resort is also family-friendly, with children frequently playing along the beach.
Our room exceeded expectations. We were upgraded to a private pool and backyard area, which was both spacious and well-maintained, with reliable WiFi. The landscaping throughout the resort added to the overall charm and elevated the entire stay.
Areas for Improvement
While the experience was overwhelmingly positive, there were a few drawbacks to note:
• Massage Prices: Services were significantly more expensive than those offered outside the resort—typically two to three times higher.
• Transportation: Taxi drivers in the area can be costly and sometimes take advantage of tourists. A private driver generally costs $40–$50 for a full day, which is a better value.
• Airport Transfer: The resort does not provide a complimentary shuttle to the airport. Arranging transportation through the resort cost me about $40 USD for a drive less than 10 miles.
• Additional Fees: A 20% tax/fee is added to all resort purchases, which can add up quickly.
• Public Beach Conditions: Bali does have a stray dog issue, and we frequently saw dogs relieving themselves on the public beach.
• Meal Prices: Lunch and dinner at the resort are two to three times higher than nearby beachside options, though the food and presentation were undeniably excellent.
Overall Impression
Despite a few concerns, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The resort was peaceful, relaxing, and full of thoughtful touches that made the experience memorable. I would absolutely recommend this property and would gladly return in the future.
