The Oberoi Beach Resort, Bali

I must say I had much higher expectations from this hotel group. The hotel was okay, a bit underwhelming as it feels like the hotel was acquired from another owner and re branded to Oberoi. It's very very dated. The staff was nice but just looking at their uniforms which looked really worn, this hotel did not give a feel of a five star hotel. The breakfast staff were very nice and polite but the hotel grounds and the condition of the room was more on the scale of a four star hotel.

Visiting The Oberoi, Bali after many years feels like coming back home. A lovely welcome with garlands, and anticipatory service at its best — unobtrusive but deeply warm. Breakfast is à la carte, with generous variety. The masala omelette and chai instantly re-ignite old memories. The sound of the Seminyak beach currents is loud, but you feel totally at peace. Everywhere you go, you’re greeted with a gentle namaskar — and a sense of belonging to a family. As one staff member (Trishna) reminded me, they consider service as their Dharma. Even after so many years, The Oberoi stands out among the plethora of luxury resorts in Bali. You can’t go wrong with your choice.

The resort is unique and retains the true meaning of Balinese culture. The beautiful villas are scattered throughout the immense grounds giving guests plenty of privacy from other guests. The pool villas are amazing. The staff are professional and exceptionally helpful. Food is outstanding and service excellent. Highly recommend

The Oberoi in Bali just made it to one of my top 2 favorite hotels in the world. Incredible comfort and beauty walking through the open pathway to the wide open reception area. An immediate view of the beach-catching vibrant colors of purple and orange sky as the sun sets. The pool, the breakfast, the bar all out in the open. top notch service. Rooms that are filled with drinks, snacks and fine toiletries. Beds that say stay, sleep, relax. I cannot wait to return. The memories of this beautiful warm weathered oasis flood my mind on a cold winters day. Worth every dime. Definitely get the breakfast package.

We have pleasantly enjoyed our stay. Initially we had booked for 2 nights and ended up extending another night because we loved it that much. The service is beyond anything I have experienced in Bali, it has exceeded all my expectations and I would highly recommend. The staff are so friendly, greet you by your name, remember your breakfast order and go above and beyond to make your stay a memorable one. It’s an oasis in the heart of Seminyak, so well located that it doesn’t feel like you’re in the centre of it all. It’s so peaceful and relaxing. I can’t wait to be back!
