The Samaya Seminyak-Bali

What an amazing resort! We had a fantastic time and would you highly recommend the Samaya, especially to anyone coming to Bali The room and grounds were beautiful and the staff were attentive and helpful We will be back!

This is our first visit to Bali, 3 nights in Monkey Forest & 5 nights here. We will definitely return as Bali itself is the most beautiful place. This hotel offers so much, I arranged for a driver from the hotel to collect us to make the very slow but comfortable transfer from Ubud. 2 hours later we arrived at this beautiful, tranquil oasis. Greeted with a garland of Bali flower & taken to our one bed pool villa. It was perfectly arranged with a sitting room, bedroom & spacious bathroom with indoor/outdoor showers. The pool area had full sun but a lovely shaded area also. The food is amazing & with the Breeze restaurant being very popular to watch the amazing sunsets, book a table so you are not disappointed. Service can be a little slow, it did not bother us as we were happy to enjoy the moment, however some people did complain. A few minutes walk or complementary buggy ride you can be in the town square, lots of restaurants, bars & shops selling a variety of quality items. In past experience, shopping in beach resorts can be predictable but here there is a huge variety. The food is also incredibly delicious, all our meals in Bali were lovely. This hotel gives discreet elegance, its people are its true asset, everyone & I mean everyone, were filled with warmth & genuine smiles. This is a truly wonderful hotel with spectacular service & in a fantastic location. If I have any points for improvement, I would suggest the decking (in some places not all) where the sunbeds are located would benefit from some TLC as we did end up with a couple of splinters. Also I think the service around the sunbeds for cold drinks was lacking at times. None of this spoiled our experience, we will return & enjoy this wonderful hotel again. A shout out to the Spa team, complementary couples massage & a hot stone massage were amazing. Bali still holds a level of authenticity which makes it feel charming & fascinating all rolled together, book this hotel you won't regret it.

We stayed at The Samaya Seminyak from July 21–23, 2025, as part of a family vacation. The property is lovely, with a clean and well-kept layout, and the pool area especially stood out – large daybeds, ocean views, and direct access to the beach for long walks along the shore. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff were friendly. Evenings were especially charming at the restaurant, with candlelit tables set by the sea. The food was fine, though mostly European in style – not much local or Balinese influence. Also worth noting: there’s no full poolside service, so you need to go to the restaurant to place orders. We did have a few minor issues: one afternoon there was no hot water (fixed within 10 minutes), our jacuzzi took more than 50 minutes to fill enough for the bubble system to function, and one evening there was a large wedding held on-site which we hadn’t been told about beforehand. Service around the pool also felt a bit absent, particularly given the price point, which is on the higher end for this category in Bali. That said, the hotel went above and beyond when we decided to cut our stay short. After speaking with the manager, Karmaya, we were kindly offered a refund for the unused nights – a generous and much-appreciated gesture (though not something guests should necessarily expect). In summary: a beautiful, peaceful place with a great location close to town and right on the beach. If service had matched the standard of the surroundings, it would easily have been a five-star stay.

This hotel was exactly right for us. It's close enough to the airport for a stop-over, but not so near that you hear the planes. The hotel is on the beach and has a lovely restaurant overlooking. We chose a large room with its own pool which was fantastic. All the staff are courteous and helpful. The hotel is an oasis of calm, but once you step outside you are in busy, touristy Bali.

So thankful for The Samaya Family it was a great stay and everything was great ! People here were incredibly nice and kind !
