The Ritz-Carlton, Bali

Spent 3 nights in a Sawagan juinor suite. This is a really nice resort with exceptional services. The resort was exceptionally busy as Aug is peak period but no massive issues The resort is huge, like most in Nusa Dua. While we walked to places days its handy to get a buggy to whereever you want to go. You never wait a couple of minutes for one. The service from all the staff is exceptional. The beach and pool are nice and there are plenty of beach or pool loungers even with the resort being a full capacity. There are about 12 bed loungers but they were always taken by the time we headed down to the beach around 10am. The suite we stayed in was large with couches, tables and nice balcony with couches. I like the modular approach to turn the shower and bath area from open plan to closed using sliding doors. Breakfast gets really busy between 8.30-9.30, outside tables are sometimes not available. The food options are excellent with western, Indonesian, Japanese and Indian hot food options are available. Given how busy it gets we were pleased how quick specific orders arrived e.g. Coffee, eggs to order etc. Unless you want to spend stupid times in traffic in peak season you are very much a hostage in your resort or other resorts or places around Nusa Dua. We tried all of the restaurants at the resort over the 3 days. Note, you MUST book in advance and they appear to have 2 sittings 6pm and 8.30pm. This was a bit of an issue for us as 6pm is too early for us and 8pm plus a little late, but we made it work. Prices are on par with what you'd expect at a Ritz Calton. A local beer is around 105k, glass of wine 200-250k, dishes around 500-900k. The Beach grill was our favorite albeit the most expensive place to dine. We tried the Indonesian restaurant on our last night and enjoyed the food. Overall a nice resort for a relaxing holiday. Its in a fairly isolated area together with some other resorts, nothing of note outside the resort on the roads. Will definitely come back.

Nice beach location, great service, food selection is limited but expensive. The facilities and rooms are dated/old. What caused me a great deal of anxiety is the walking paths, forcing people through windy , indirect way passing restaurants and shops to my room. I logged >12,000 steps going down to the beach once.

What a beautiful hotel! We stayed here for 3 nights in the ritz Carlton lagoon access suite at the end of our trip. The room was exceptional - such a beautiful space, and very quiet. The hotel staff were exceptional. We dined at Bejana and it was a lovely meal! The breakfast was exceptional - you couldn’t want for any more of better quality. The gardens, immaculate! The one downfall - for the size of the hotel, the pool is very small. With this being an exceptional, large hotel and with a lot of families staying here - it would be lovely to have an additional adults only pool . Overall though, exceptional!

Absolutely blown away by the hotel and incredible hospitality ! We had a great time and actually ended up extended our time there an extra week because we loved it so much! Their breakfast is definitely a highlight! Hendra is so kind and friendly and personable and made our breakfast and dining experience so special. Ayu is one of the chefs and she’s so talented! the food and hospitality were incredible! Also their kids club is so fun! Krystal, Ari, and Kathy from kids club were So kind and welcoming! We feel so grateful for our experience!

Our stay in the 3-Bedroom Cliff Villa at The Ritz-Carlton, Bali was simply unforgettable. The villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking ocean views. The entire resort is stunning, with immaculate gardens, excellent facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere. A special thank you to our butler, Pande, whose professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made our holiday truly exceptional. He anticipated our needs, provided outstanding service, and ensured every moment of our stay was seamless. We highly recommend this resort and can't wait to return!
