Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay

We first visited this resort in 2024… exactly a year ago (see previous review) and once returning home we knew we would visit again ASAP!! Fast forward nearly 365 days and another great vacation has been completed. The treatment that we received as a repeat guest is beyond anything that we could have ever expected. We were treated like ROYALTY before we even left home from the USA… Thank you Paula ❤️. Upon arrival, we were greeted with warm smiles and open arms. Royal treatment from top to bottom is the one statement that best describes our stay. Stara and his housekeeping staff kept our villa exceptionally clean. We looked forward to seeing and speaking with Executive Sous Chef Artiyasa each day. Putra and the Restuarant staff were exceptional in delivering service with a smile. A young Server named Sankan without hesitation remembered my wife and I from one year ago @ FS Sayan where he personally assisted a Chef during our cooking class. We checked our photos from 2024 and sure enough there he was… still smiling, still happy, still serving guests. What a memory the young man has! Wirya assisted us to our villa and with our luggage in 2024 and 2025. As soon as he introduced himself and began to point out the features of our villa I immediately knew this was the same gentleman. His dedication and professionalism is superb. We can already see that Ash and Aurora are future superstar employees… watch & see!! I am sure that we did not catch every name of every employee that made our stay great and treated us like royalty, but you all are a very special part of the Jimbaran Bay team!! To Nic, Santi, Yudi and Paula once again we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will return for a future visit regardless of the distance from the USA.

This was a great hotel. The Four Seasons never disappoints and Jimbaran Bay was exactly what we needed. We wanted a relaxing place for our stay, it didn't disappoint. The villas are amazing and spacious. We loved the touch of the incense in the room to burn while we got ready or relaxed. The extra touches like that are what make us love Four Seasons resorts. They have the best breakfast Buffett we have ever experienced. It's separated into many different countries and it made our breakfast experience something we truly got excited for and treasured!

FS Jimbaran was exceptional. The views are breathtaking and the attention to service is unmatched--FS standard and beyond. We loved our stay at the FS Jimbaran everyone was friendly and attentive. Chef Kasi in particular made our cooking class one of a kind. She took the time to show us the famous fish market, teach us Balinese cooking techniques, culture/language. We enjoyed our time with chef and the team. The main pools are some of the best views of the property overlooking the ocean. The breakfast buffet was great and provided a wide variety of options. The service was great and very organized. Sundara was ok in comparison, great service but the food and drinks did not match the rest of the resort. We enjoyed a day at the bay, but the food was ok, and drink choices were limited to a few. I wish we would have spent more time at the main pools. I would have forgone the day at the bay. The service however was great. Overall, we enjoyed our time and were happy to have spent several days here and continued our journey to Sayan. We highly recommend spending time in Jimbaran and ending in Sayan. Both properties have exceptional service and attention to detail. The staff are all attentive and get to know the guests to make their stay memorable. Thank you for making our trip one for the

At Four Seasons, you are never just a room number – and Jimbaran Bay is no exception. From the moment we arrived, every staff member greeted us warmly, calling us by name and radiating genuine excitement. The personal welcome left a lasting impression and set the tone for our entire stay. What amazed us most was the attention to detail. Every preference we could think of was already taken care of, without us having to ask: from an extra bedsheet to the perfect foam pillow – everything was thoughtfully prepared in advance. This level of care and anticipation made us feel truly at home, while still enjoying the luxury and beauty Four Seasons is known for. For us, Jimbaran Bay is not just a resort – it’s our home away from home.

I recently went back to Sudara Brunch, a spot I’ve enjoyed several times before, but unfortunately this visit was a real letdown. The brunch is advertised as running from 11–4, and we arrived around 11:30. However, the restaurant didn’t seem ready to welcome guests — staff were still setting up, and the music didn’t even start for nearly another hour. Service throughout the afternoon was painfully slow. The format of the brunch has also changed a lot. Previously, I loved the variety: small plates of cold, hot, and dessert dishes that you could reorder as you liked. Now the plates are full-sized, which meant we could only try a few dishes. My partner ordered the baby corn dish and enjoyed it enough to request another — but the second serving was completely different, more like “teenager corn” than the original. We opted for the additional seafood platter, which turned out to be underwhelming and didn’t taste very fresh. The free-flow Prosecco was another disappointment — not great quality, and we had to keep flagging waiters for refills. In the past, when they offered free-flow champagne, our glasses were never empty. I’ve raved about Sudara Brunch for years, praising the food quality, the service, and the atmosphere. Sadly, it feels like management has changed, and so has the overall experience.
