Review: Alila Manggis (Seaside Suite)
Weak hardware, poor bathroom amenities, unusable wifi but it was a fine stay in other aspects.
Hotel Reviews
Review: Aloft Bali Seminyak (King & Loft Rooms)
Returned to this hotel for a further 51 nights and I left just as happy as before!
Review: Alila SCBD Jakarta (Premium Room)
Another overpriced Alila. This one’s only for the fanboys.
Review: Grand Hyatt Jakarta (Capital Suite)
The newly-renovated suites are ready. And ultra-generous club lounge replacement paid for my whole stay!
Review: Alila Ubud (Terrace Tree Villa)
Enjoyed my stay in one of the newer villas. Consider booking a Hyatt Privé rate and note the monkey factor before deciding to stay here!
Review: Four Points by Sheraton Bali, Kuta (Family Suite)
I’ve now stayed in and reviewed 19 Marriott Bonvoy properties in Bali and unfortunately, this is the weakest.
Review: Sheraton Bali Kuta (Ocean Front Suite)
It was a good stay in a tourist hotspot. But I wouldn’t consider staying here when rates are 2 to 3 times more in non-pandemic times.
Review: Courtyard Bali Nusa Dua (1 Bedroom Suite)
Great service and Elite member recognition. Complimentary breakfast on top of the usual US$10 F&B credit increases the value of staying in this hotel.
Review: Anantara Uluwatu Bali (Ocean Front Suite)
Other than the beautiful ocean view, this property was a disappointment. I was lucky to have gotten a huge discount with the Best Rate Guarantee.
Review: Alila Villas Uluwatu (1 Bedroom Pool Villa)
Given the lack of options that I had in Indonesia, this was a great Cat 7 free night award redemption and a nice way to spend my birthday!
Review: Andaz Bali (Ocean View Lagoon Suite)
Returned to this new hotel to redeem a Hyatt Category 4 Free Night. Received a suite upgrade this time!
Review: Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran (Avant Garde Suite)
Probably the only Marriott Bonvoy hotel in Bali that you should avoid.
Review: Avani Seminyak Bali (2 Bedroom Villa)
Beautiful villa, fantastic value, but I couldn’t get myself comfortable after a few days.
Review: Element Bali Ubud (Punyan Suite)
Yet another fantastic stay in a severely underpriced hotel in Bali.
Review: Courtyard Bali Seminyak (1 Bedroom Suite)
Fantastic value and elite member recognition. One of my favourite long stays in recent months.
Review: The Ritz-Carlton, Bali (Pool Pavilion Villa)
Flawless stay with a generous upgrade. Another Virtuoso / STARS sweet spot while nightly rates remain low.
Review: Grand Hyatt Bali (Club Executive Suite)
Largest hotel in Indonesia with a beautiful beach attached. Would be a lovely sweet spot with only 6,500 points for off-peak nights in future.
Review: Hilton Bali Resort (Cliff Tower Ocean View)
Quality-wise, this is as good as it gets for Hilton members in Bali. There was nothing much to love other than the view and pool.
Review: The Laguna, a Luxury Collection, Nusa Dua, Bali (1 Bedroom Villa)
Well-maintained villa, outstanding Elite member recognition. The Marriott STARS rate made my stay feel like a complete steal.
