Amazing Pool Experience

I had a fantastic time enjoying the three swimming pools at the resort. Each pool offered stunning views, and it was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. I spent hours lounging by the water and immersing myself in the tranquility of the surroundings.

Comfortable Apartment

The apartment was large and spacious, equipped with a full kitchen and a cozy living area. The stunning balcony view of the bay made every morning feel special. I had my own bathroom, which was a great convenience for my stay.

The resort is beautifully designed with tropical Balinese architecture and has a lovely pool area. While the spacious apartment had stunning views, the furnishings felt outdated and needed better upkeep. The dining options were disappointing despite the beautiful setting, and the service could improve in responsiveness. Overall, it's a convenient stay, but not without its flaws.

The resort is situated in a prime location with stunning views, making it a great spot for a relaxing getaway. However, the experience was marred by the condition of the rooms, which felt outdated and not very well kept. While the pools were enjoyable and not crowded, the dining options were very limited, not matching the expectations for a resort stay.
