Hotel location: In the "resort area" of Nusa Dua, it is very close to the main road and the Bali Collection shopping mall. It is a hotel in the Autograph series of Marriott's brand. The driver who sent us here said that this area of Nusa Dua is a hotel cluster. There will be security checks when entering this area. There are no private houses of locals in the area, so a large area is operated by various hotel brands. Of course, the consumption level of food and accommodation is also relatively high, and locals will not consume it. There are also fewer motorcycles near the hotel, the road conditions are good, and the infrastructure is well built. It is suitable for tourists who want to take a vacation and lie down, like the standardized management of chain hotels and family travel. The public security situation is good.
First impression of the hotel: It is very tropical, and the landscape design has some Japanese style. The main pool is connected to a small arch bridge, and there are koi in the pool. From the lobby to the room, you have to go through a section of upward steps. After passing through the gate, there is a stream + landscape design built along the room. The design is very attentive, exquisite and compact, and you can see staff maintaining it every day. Each room has a name, not a simple number, but the pronunciation may need to be adapted. Maybe because the whole hotel is villa-style, the main pool is not crowded and very quiet.
First impression of the room: very clean, good insect prevention, there are a few mosquitoes but basically no bites. There is a thick mosquito net on the bed, good review! Outdoor facilities are complete, the swimming pool is large, and there is a Bluetooth speaker by the pool to play your own music. The facilities in the room are quite old, and the bedroom furniture is well maintained, with traces of practical use but not dirty. The cloakroom is also very practical, and there is a desk facing the pool, where you can see the activities of family members and children outside. What may make Chinese tourists feel uncomfortable is that the shower room is semi-outdoor, that is, there is no wall or glass to separate it from the outside world, and the door leading to the room from the shower room can be locked. People who are timid when taking a shower after dark may be a little scared, and they will also worry about mosquitoes, but it is okay after using it, mainly because of psychological discomfort. Friends who like the feeling of outdoor vacation may like it. The water pressure of the shower is a bit low, not as good as the large water output of the shower at home.
Water use: It is fine to drink bottled water only. The tap water tastes a bit salty (when brushing teeth). We boiled the tap water and used it to heat the tableware and cups, but we didn't drink it. We also drank the ice in the hotel's drinks, and there was no problem for a few days.
Service attitude: The staff are very friendly and can respond to requests actively, but the Indonesian English accent may not be used to it.
Hotel beach: The hotel is not on the beach, but there are several hotels sharing the beach nearby, and each hotel is divided into an area. There is a seven-seater car at the front desk that can pick you up at any time. Just tell the front desk and wait for about 5 minutes. It takes about 5-7 minutes to drive there, which is also within walking distance. If you are an adult, you can walk back and forth. There are hotel staff on the beach, special showers and toilets, and simple meals can be provided. There are about 10 beach chairs. Some nearby residents come to sell water activities, hats, toys, etc. Just insist on declining, and they won't pester you. We haven't been to many beaches, so we can't comment on the quality.
Dining: The food in the hotel restaurant is very good. The breakfast is delicious. It is semi-self-service + ordering style. The menu is all in English. You need to be good at English and read it patiently, or use translation software. The iced American coffee in the hotel restaurant is very delicious. I wanted to buy a cup to take back to the room at night. The staff was very enthusiastic and gave me a small cup for free. For dining outside the hotel, we went to Bali Collection opposite (about 150-200 meters walk from the hotel entrance). There is a Nusa restaurant near the main entrance. It is also the one with the highest rating on Google. There are many people and the taste is really good. It is the best meal I have had in a few days. The average cost per person is about 150 RMB.
Shopping nearby: Shopping is mainly in Bali Collection. You can walk or borrow a bicycle from the hotel to ride there. It is a large collection of shops, and there is also a SOGO department store. It is mainly for tourists, so the consumption level is relatively high, basically the same as first- and second-tier cities. There are also some cheap dining options, such as Subway and convenience stores, but the prices of convenience stores are also about 30% more expensive on average. There is also a natural care brand Sensatia which seems to be very popular. It is said to be a substitute for Aesop. The customers are all Chinese. The price is reasonable, ranging from a few dozen to one or two hundred RMB per item. If you want to buy swimwear and some summer clothes, Bali Collection also has some brands to choose from.
Overall, this hotel is highly recommended. If you want to stay in the hotel mainly for rest and can stay for 3 days or more, this is a good choice.
