5-Star Hotels in Bali

The resort is quite old and showing its age. The location is superb – right on the beach – and the spacious grounds are well laid out. Unfortunately, the rooms are very musty and have a moldy smell. The Soora Bar, which we wanted to visit in the evening because of its great description, is past its prime, and the drinks consisted 80% of a huge ice cube, which we found to be quite a rip-off. However, we had a friendly conversation with the manager about this, and hopefully, he will address these issues. Breakfast was incredibly rich – a fantastic selection with something for every taste – even sushi! The Teppanyaki Restaurant was delicious, and Gede put on a great cooking show for us – definitely something to try! We didn't particularly enjoy the dinner with the traditional Kecak dance. The Kecak performance lacked expression – on our last Bali trip, we saw a brilliant, expressive performance in Lovina that was accompanied by music – all of that was unfortunately missing here. All in all, we would probably not visit this hotel again.

I have a very pleasant stay here. At 2014 back then when it is still Nikko, my brother had his wedding here and I appreciate the hotel still have their name hang in the wall near Wiwaha Chapel. The room is spacious and clean. The AC works really well. View from our room is so beautiful. Make sure to book the ocean view to enoy the beauty of Bali. We had Mexican dinner at Grain Restaurant, delicious food with Latin live band boost up the mood. Thank you Mrs. Sumerti for the hospitality during dinner. Definitely stay here if I visit Bali!

Ramayana Resort & Suites – Our First Bali Anniversary Stay ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was our first trip to Bali, and we chose Ramayana Resort & Suites in Kuta to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We stayed for 6 days and 5 nights, from 24–29 August, in a Grand Deluxe Room (Room 745). The resort has a pleasant and relaxing environment, and the location is excellent. Everything we needed was within walking distance, including Kuta Art Market, restaurants, eateries and convenience stores. This made it very convenient, especially for our first visit to Bali. The buffet breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay. There was a really good spread with plenty of choices, and we enjoyed the breakfast throughout our stay. Although Ramayana Resort & Suites is a 5-star resort, we felt that some aspects of the room could be improved. The bathroom was not as clean as we would expect from a 5-star property. It was still acceptable and usable, but the cleanliness could definitely be improved to meet the standard we expected from a 5-star resort. There was also only one suitable plug point for charging mobile phones. Although there were USB ports available, they were not USB Type-C, which made charging modern devices a little inconvenient. The biggest issue was the very low water pressure in the shower. We informed the front desk about it, but unfortunately, it appeared that no action was taken, and the water pressure remained extremely low throughout our stay. Apart from these issues, the rest of the room was fine and comfortable. Unfortunately, on our second day in Bali, we had a frightening experience while walking to dinner. In front of Yan’s House in Kuta, two men approached us from behind and tried to pull the chain from my husband’s neck. My husband managed to push one of them, causing the chain and pendant to fall. Thankfully, the thieves did not manage to take the jewellery, and most importantly, neither of us was injured. We immediately informed the resort about what had happened and asked whether they could assist by checking the CCTV from the neighbouring hotel, Yan’s House, as the incident happened right in front of it. Unfortunately, we were told that they could not do so and were advised not to wear gold jewellery while walking around. We understand that the resort cannot be held responsible for an incident that happened outside the property. However, as guests, we would have appreciated a little more assistance or guidance following such a frightening experience. Despite the unfortunate incident, we had a pleasant stay at Ramayana Resort & Suites, particularly because of its excellent location, good breakfast and pleasant environment. That said, for a 5-star resort, we feel there are areas that could be improved, particularly bathroom cleanliness, shower water pressure, charging facilities and guest support following safety incidents. For anyone staying in Kuta, especially first-time visitors to Bali, please be extra careful with your belongings and jewellery. Avoid displaying valuable jewellery, keep your mobile phone secure, and remain alert when walking around busy tourist areas. We were fortunate that neither of us was hurt and that our jewellery was recovered. This was our first Bali trip and our wedding anniversary, so while we had many enjoyable moments, the robbery attempt was certainly a frightening experience that we will never forget. A resort with a great location, excellent breakfast and a pleasant environment, but with some room for improvement to fully match the expectations of a 5-star property.

This resort-style hotel truly has it all when it comes to dining, entertainment, and amenities. From recreational facilities and an indoor pool to a private beach and buffet restaurants, everything you could want is right here. The 'all-inclusive' in the hotel's name means that for an additional fee, you get unlimited access to the hotel's various buffet restaurants throughout the day. If you opt for the all-inclusive package, you essentially won't need to leave the hotel at all during your stay. The hotel attracts a lot of foreign guests, mostly vacationers who seem to stay for extended periods. During our two-day stay, we were the only two Chinese guests in the entire hotel – the breakfast staff recognized us instantly! 😂 The rooms are large and comfortable, each with its own balcony. The hotel service is genuinely excellent, and the breakfast buffet offers a fantastic variety. While the hotel does show its age a bit, with some facilities looking a little dated, it doesn't detract from the overall experience.

I stayed here for one night before heading back home. The room was spacious, very clean, and well-equipped. It was also quiet. Upon check-in, we were given two complimentary breakfast vouchers for YOLO, which is just 20 meters away. The hotel is located inside a mall, which was quite lively, making it convenient for dining and other activities. I even stumbled upon a candy store, a Singaporean brand that brought back childhood memories for my daughter, so I picked up some sweets. The staff were very friendly, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The only downside is that the detergent they use for the linens has a very strong fragrance. I'm quite sensitive to smells, but my daughter and mother didn't seem to mind it.

This hotel is a very good choice 👍🏼 I am a little picky, but here’s my review: Pros: ✅ No damp smell, well ventilated ( I was worried about this) ✅ No insects in the room. There might be some geckos 🦎 (which is normal and expected) but I didn’t see any. ✅ Very clean in general ✅ Comfortable bed ✅ The service is amazing ✅ The staff is very friendly and helpful ✅ The breakfast is very good, there are plenty of choices. ✅ Their restaurant is also very good, in case you don’t want to go out of the resort. ✅ The vibe at the beach is nice and if you like water sports it is also good. ✅ The pool is huge and very nice ✅ Reasonable price (but it will depend on the season and demand) Cons: 😑 Sound proof can be better, one can hear everyone from the pool (the sound enters from the main door) 😑 The beach is not the best for swimming, and is a bit dirty in general (not the hotel’s fault) 😑 The gym can be better as there are only 3 machines (spinning, treadmill and elliptical) the dumbbells are fine ✅😄 Overall, recommended! I was happy with my stay at this hotel! It is good to give it a try!

The hotel is centrally located amidst tourist attractions, and the rooms are clean and tidy. The hotel layout is well-designed, featuring a massive swimming pool and a diverse breakfast spread. It's approximately 5 kilometers from the airport and very close to the beach.

I stayed for two nights, and for the price, a sea-view room in Uluwatu is pretty good. The service was enthusiastic, but there's room for improvement in the details. For example, I booked the two nights separately, and at check-in, they confirmed it was for two nights. But the next morning, when I called to ask for a duvet cover change (because I felt a bit itchy after sleeping the night before), they asked me twice if I was checking out that day. Then, when I returned to my room the second evening, my room key no longer worked! In terms of hardware, the room is quite spacious, and the sea view is stunning, but the materials used are average. All the wood seems to be thin, common lumber. The bathroom sink drains very slowly, and the shower lighting is very dim. The lobby, however, is quite beautiful. The sea breeze blowing through, combined with Balinese music, was very pleasant. Overall, the good outweighs the bad, but there's nothing particularly outstanding to mention.

Hotel set near paddy field, nicely natural environment. Service is superb. Layout of the normal room is not so fuctional with the toilet n shower room at opposite ends of the room. We decided to pay to upgrade to a more plesant layout where toilet, shower room, basins are much better layed out n functional. Pool with the villa is an added pleasure.

A wonderful hotel close to the river and jungle, very quiet and with beautiful nature. The hotel stuff is exceptional friendly and helpful. The food is very delicious and the restaurant stuff very nice, helpful fullfilling your requests. We felt extremely welcome there. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone 🤗Thank you so much for having us. Mr. Dominik and Ms. Joanna
