5-Star hotels & resorts in Bali

"My family with two young children stayed at the Prama Sabur Beach Bali Hotel in April 2017, for 6 nights. The location was fantastic, being right on the beach which has a gentle gradient. The resort is nestled among other resorts and a plethora of restaurants, shops, bars and spas. We love Sanur for it's old world, laid back feel, quite different from the frenetic sophistication of Seminyak or Canggu. The traffic here is also really light most of the time and we never had any of the dreadful traffic jams we have experienced elsewhere. We had a fourth floor room with direct views of the pool and the beach. It was lovely waking up early to experience the sunrise in the cool of the morning. The two pools were of very good size, with one of them designed for children and featuring an artificial beach and a set of straight and helical slides that the children loved. The staff were more than friendly and helpful and we wanted for nothing. If there is any negative point about the Prama, it is their food. We ate breakfast there only once and never again. We found it expensive for what was offered at the buffet . It was clearly mass catering with featureless cooked food, limp waffles, dry pancakes and the lowest grade of jams possible (the type that looks like coloured gel with absolutely no fruit inside of it). There were endless options for breakfast along the beach or on the main street outside so we weren't stuck for choice. There was an Easter Sunday buffet lunch at the Italian restaurant. The food was reasonably good, but very expensive for Bali. The saving grace was that kids under 12 ate for free and there was an Easter party for kids, with egg painting, treasure hunt, bashing a pinata, gift bags and refreshments, all very well organised for the kids. We would come back to the Prama Sanur if we wanted another beach holiday in Bali."

"we stayed for 5 nights. everything is perfect, the villa is clean, the kitchen equipment is complete so you can cook during your stay. the staff is very helpful. the pool was always cleaned too. very suitable for bringing a large family. but because the living room is open area, there are lots of mosquitoes, and they also enter the bedroom and sometimes insects too. Overall we all enjoy the stayed. "

"This boutique hotel is located between Poppies 1 & 2 with only the road separating you from the beach. Inside it is a quiet place with one very nice pool area and winding garden walkways. As soon as you step onto the street you have so many shopping, market, eating and beach options all within meters. So much to choose from and the best of both worlds in busy Kuta. Staff are fabulous, the breakfast is extensive for a boutique hotel and there is plenty of space both at breakfast and around the pool. We booked a premium cottage, location was only 20 meters or so from the pool and so quiet. Room size was big enough with a small lounge inside plus a balcony lounge. Garden view was lovely and the room was very clean, in Bali style even though a little dated. We were really impressed with this great small hotel and would highly recommend it as very cost effective accommodation with great service and we have stayed in many different hotels, resort hotels and villas previously in Bali"

"We were welcomed warmly by Ketut and others. They were very helpful. They helped us to arrange a massage, pedicure and manicure for us at the villa. It was awesome. The place was huge, clean, classic and unique. Breakfast was average. The whole family enjoyed the stay in the villa. Thanks Ketut and others. Definitely will stay here again."

"We opted for Klapa resort for the last 2 nights of our stay in Bali. We were impressed from the get-go. Very courteous and organised staff at the reception had everything ready for us and had a smooth check in. They explained all the facilities at the resort. The room was the most spacious I have seen in any hotel and the golf view was very nice. The bathroom was also very spacious with a large bath tub and an additional shower cubicle. Room had ample storage cabinets. Bed was also comfy. Waking up to the rising sun was our best moment in the room after a sound sleep. Breakfast spread and the quality of food was just ok. This could use a bit more attention from the management. Probably the best part of our stay at the resort was the free access to adjoining Klapa beach restaurant and Dreamland beach, especially in this part of Bali very transportation options are limited, this saves you a lot of time and money. We spent a whole evening at the infinity pool overlooking the sea and sunset served by the most attentive staff which was the high point of our stay. The staff at the resort also arranged scooter on rent and meter taxi on time as requested. Overall we had a great couple of nights at Klapa resort and we were extremely happy with our choice. I would highly recommend Klapa resort to any travellers looking for a good accomodation at reasonable prices."

"The staff at Griya Villas are very well trained. I've visited and lived in Indonesia numerous times over the last few years and the team at Griya rate as the best so far. Good quality of food ingredients, staff are willing to adapt menus if needed and anticipate needs. The villas are beautiful, views are the best around and pick up/drop off transfer service to the villas is recommended. Would definitely return to Griya Villas and highly recommend it for a few days getaway if you're wanting a different experience in Bali. "
