In may 2025 me and my wife, for the second time, spent three weeks at the Patra Bali Resort & Villas. Overall the experience was very good, so good that we already booked again.||The hotel is located perfectly. Close to the airport without being disturbed by it. Also central with respect to connections for excursions to all the other parts of Bali, like Sanur, Semyniak, Nusa Dua, Ubud and beyond. Kuta center is on walking distance (very nice along the beach walk or main road), but also easy and cheap reachable by cab, there is even a free shuttle service provided by the hotel.||Although it is a big hotel, it does not feel crowded at all, the premises are wide spread with a luscious and well maintained garden. There are three swimming pools, with the most beautiful one the huge lagune pool with a sunken pool-bar. There are enough beach chairs available and also the restaurants are near this pool. Big plus is the public beach two steps from the hotel, it gives en open feeling from the resort to the sea and especially in the late afternoon a lot of (local) activity. Service of the staff at the pool is very good. Also in the evening many special dinner- and show events are organised and almost every evening there is live music with the best musicians.||We stayed in a Deluxe Suite after being upgraded from a Deluxe Room. The accommodations are furnished in Balinese style, a little bit outdated but everything is being kept in good working condition and we had no complaints. The airconditioning system was working very good and silent. Also the room cleaning service is excellent and with special surprises like towel creations and extra pastry delights.||The service of the front desk (at the imposing main entrance) is also very good and the staff (checkin, transport, guards) is very friendly and helpful. Problems are being resolved in short time (we had a door lock battery problem, which was fixed in 5 minutes). ||The breakfast buffet was very extensive. Food from all sorts and regions are being offered. Ranging from western food to Indonesian, cold and warm dishes. A special egg-bar, Indonesian corner, salad and fruits-bar, bread and pastry, Indian, waffle/pancake, juices, health drinks and coffee-bar and more. Especially worth mentioning is the again friendliness, helpfulness and swift service of the staff.||For lunch or evening there are three restaurants of which we only used two, the Italian and general one, both located next to the pool and outdoor seating options. The food is very good, tasty and well presented and stay to their original origin.||Concluding I would like to say that we had a perfect stay at the Resort for a very good price. And although the resort location, facilities and services are very good, I would like to emphasise that a perfect vacation stay is for the most important part determined by the the staff working there! This being said, I would like to thank the many friends I have made among them and give them the recognition they deserve.||Terimah kasih: Anggi, Raka, Arya, Iska, Puspa, Risky, Gangga, Pande, Windua, Pardika and of course all the staff I did not mention by name!
