The Samaya Seminyak-Bali

Currently at the end of 4 nights at The Samaya Seminak . Our villa which is a short buggy ride from the main hotel is huge extremely comfortable and quiet with no road noise or noise from other villas. The buggies arrive with in minutes everytime. The cleaning has been completed each day while at breakfast so there has been no waiting around for cleaning to be finished. Breakfast over looking beach every morning and they have been huge with massive selection . Also enjoyed complimentary afternoon teas served on our villas . Enjoyed the Balinese massage at the spa , Lena was amazing . We had lovely meals at Breezes . No matter where you are in the resort the staff have been super attentive and friendly . We will definitely be returning soon.

Incredible customer experience. Exceeded all expectations in every area. Position, villa accommodation, staff support and interaction. We all felt very safe and so well attended.

We haven’t visited the Samaya for 5 years, why have we waited so long to come back? It is a truly world class experience. Great service, great food and all overlooking the beach. We will be back!

Beautiful resort. The villa concept is private and perfect for couples. We went with our friends, they have the best view of the ocean and it feels like a villa instead of a resort. The food and ambience was fantastic. Drinks by the beach, watching the sunset. The service is excellent. Definitely repeating this experiment.

From the time of our arrival at Denpasar International Airport until our departure we were treated with the upmost kindness, efficiency, respect and professionalism of any holiday we have undertaken. While the resort is not new, it retains the amazing charm of Bali. Our accommodation was amazing with a HUGE 4 poster bed, complete with mosquito nets and extremely comfortable pillows, situated in a large room with comfortable lounges. A huge bathroom with large spa (for two), two basins, walk in change room and storage, 10 metre swimming pool (approx 1.6m deep), and a golf buggy ride on demand from our accommodation to the restaurant/bar set up on Seminyak beach. The restaurant is award winning and delivered. A good range of foods with offerings from Aussie and Indonesian food cultures. The attention from the staff from the chef to the trainee table waiter was absolutely first class. While the restaurant is situated within the resort it is open to the public. One night my wife ( not a 'quantity' eater ) left a portion on her plate and within minutes the chef was at the table asking if everything was alright!! Afternoon tea is a 'high tea' with choice of drinks and light food to tide you over until dinner. The grounds were immaculate in spite of winds and rain from time to time and there was 'subtle ' security at all points of the entire complex. (As our accommodation was approximately 400 metres from the main resort, either the buggy ride or walk involved negotiating a very busy road. However there was always a security person with a flag who would jump out onto the road and stop traffic so we could advance.) Teams of staff led by a 'Butler' were responsible for shuttle bus, buggy, getting us to and from our accommodation and ensuring that the rooms were maintained to a high standard. These people were so friendly and efficient. We caught up with one of the senior managers who was entertaining some local government officials inspecting damage to the beachfront from recent extreme weather, who made a special effort to come over and introduce himself and check if everything was ok. Bottom line: you could not find a better place to put your head down, and the world would be a far better place if it were filled with Balinese people of the calibre we met here!
