AYANA RESORT AND SPA BALI

Very beautiful hotel. Spacious rooms (we stayed in the ocean view rooms). The resort is very big and crowded but the number of different pools, restaurants and variety of activities avoid crowded areas. I definitely recommend Kubu beach, the pool by the villas and the ocean view pool for the sunset experience. The breakfast offers a large variety of different foods and allows you to immerse into different cultures (continental, international, Indonesian, Japanese...) There are many restaurants at the resort. The Japanese restaurant (with live cooking teppanyaki) and the seafood restaurant on the cliff were our favorites for dinner. Special thanks to Sekar who hosted us at the Ocean view pool with a lot of care, fun and hospitality. She also has hidden photographer talents ;) However the food, drinks and activities are a bit too expensive compared to what you can find elsewhere on the Island.

The hotel is amazing: warm welcoming, beach access, dreamy pools, friendly staff & many things to do. I recommend the Seafood restaurant, very tasty with a fantastic view on the ocean. Special thanks to Sekar our host at the ocean pool view. She was friendly, welcoming and very caring. She made our stay more enjoyable.

Just went there for the day to go to the rock bar and have a few drinks. The place is totally amazing..The food was so delicious and even though we did not stay there we were able to go in and have dinner and use the facilities.

This will be a short review ...... you HAVE to stay here. It's an exceptional hotel! Everything is exceptional, the staff, the grounds, the rooms. I guarantee you will not be disappointed! This is by far one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. We will 100% be returning. Try the Truyan Old Fashioned Cocktail in Dava, it's a must. The photos show Ayana and Rimba both you can use.

The service is a fantastic staff are very very attentive ( sometimes a bit too much) but they are trained to all keep asking you if you need anything and ask you to come back to stay. We had club ocean view upgraded to club ocean suite worth every penny as all drinks food included. If you don't your find drinks food very pricey. The spa was very expensive so we took the free shuttle bus to Bali Collection and found local spas brilliant. The club lounge is very intimate friendly but the outside area small and tables too small to put your legs under. ( small recommendation ) The ocean view suites are amazing and we did not want to leave. We loved the rock pool for adults only so peaceful and Dave restaurant was very special although again on our second visit staff kept coming to our table every few minutes interrupting our evening but they mean well. I would definitely recommend this Hotel to couples but not young children or the elderly as too many steps - 147 steps down to the beach although they are currently installing a lift. For us this was a perfect holiday and we both felt like royalty AYANA is worth every 5 stars awarded.
