THE ROYAL SANTRIAN

I don't write reviews that often but for the Royal Santrian I'm making an exception again. This boutique resort is an all villa resort with private pools. Upon arrival, you are being threated as royalty by all of the staff and while checking in a wonderfull welcome drink is prepared before you (not just pourred) All of the 22 Villas and the grounds are luxouriously and meticoulisly maintained. Throughout your stay, you are addressed by your name and well looked after by the very friendly staff. The mail infinity pool is marvelous and if you decide to not use your private villa pool, you will be escorted by the staff, your bed is being prepared and you are offered bottled water and fresh fruits. Of course, cocktails are also a possibility ;) In the morning you can choose where to take breakfast (in the villa or at the restaurant) Breakfast is a la carte and there is plenty of choice. You can order anytime, multiple times, all included in your stay. The constant high level of quality (food, grounds, service) is astonishing. This is truly heaven on earth. A warm thank you goes out to all of the staff, Mr Putra and Mr Yasa for a truly marvelous stay. We will definitly return in the future! PS: You should also try the Putri Santrian which is a sister hotel. It's a different price range but nevertheless spotless, our stay there was also very good! Regards J.Gezels

From the entry to the beach thus resort is one of the best resorts one could experience. Maintenance is of a extremely high standard on world standard but for Bali it would have to be the best. The resort is immaculate from the white rock wall to the manicured lawns. The service is beyond expectations as every staff member is brilliant. Awen the holiday consultant has excellent customer service and with his abilities could run any resort in the world. The food perfect from Japanese style to western style. They will even make a dish to your liking. We stayed in an ocean view villa with was magnificent in every sense with a large plunge pool, amazing decor and beautiful layout. I could not find any fault with this resort. Did I say this place is amazing if I did I was wrong it was brilliant.

Words do not describe the bliss of this place. The Villa's, location, staff, and food were all of a very high standard. The pool and Villa were awesome, great place to unwind and relax.We will be back hopefully soon .

Excellent Facilities ... we had booked 3 rooms for 7 adults (friends and family) Very Friendly Staff and Excellent service with a smile attitude. Service may be slow but the food is worth the wait ....and the weight gained ;) Very relaxing stay ...... wish it could have been longerrrrrrrrr... :) Do try the nearby Bumba Bali for excellent Balinese food - recommended to us by the staff at the Royal Santrian. The hotel will get you the booking and arrange the drop and pick-up.

We were collected at the airport by a member of staff from the hotel for the short drive to The Royal Santrian Beach Villas. The initial positive impressions when checking in set the tone for the rest of our week long stay. The villa accommodation (Villa 209) was just outstanding, with a private courtyard garden and a much bigger than expected swimming pool. The garden is planted with a selection of exotic plants including flowering Frangipani trees, in the heat of the day one could retreat to the shelter of the huge covered over day bed. Inside the villa was very generously proportioned with a sitting area, huge super king size bed, large dressing room and the most impressive bathroom I have ever experienced including an outdoor shower with palm tree. The accommodation was so good it made you sort of not want to leave your villa. However, once you did leave the villa you got an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful grounds with large infinity swimming pool overlooking the beach. When we were not out exploring the island we tended to use the hotel beach area which was very clean and equipped with comfortable sun beds and parasols and was never busy and nor was the pool. Staff provided beach towels and complementary chilled bottles of water and fresh fruit and also regularly checked if you needed further drinks or food from the beach bar. We always had breakfast outside enjoying the fabulous early morning sea views. Breakfast was always good with a decent selection of Asian or western options and the coffee was always fresh and really hit the spot. There were really nice touches at breakfast when staff would greet you and present you with a beautiful Frangipani flower to wear behind you ear, what a fantastic start to the day. The restaurant staff although young were very efficient and super courteous and just couldn't do enough for you. We ate dinner at the hotel every night simply because the food was so delicious, there was a decent variety of Asian, Japanese and western options. One of my favorites was Wagyu beef which was amazing, as was the fish and seafood and everything was presented to a standard that would do any Michellin starred restaurant proud. Would I recommend this hotel, yes without hesitation, would I go back again, most definitely.
