Find 5-Star Hotels in Bali

A magnificent palace-hotel in traditional Balinese style. After buying airline tickets here on trip.com, the system offered a very good discount on a stay of 5 nights or more at this hotel. We took advantage of it – it turned out to be a great deal! The hotel itself exceeded our expectations; I travel a lot, and this hotel is one of the best. A heavenly garden by the sea! It was my birthday, and the hotel gave us a complimentary upgrade: we were placed in a room with a sea view, which I consider the best! At breakfast, they celebrated with cake and drums! It was a very pleasant and wonderful experience! The beach is one of the best: they provide towels and free bicycles, so you can cycle everywhere! The entry into the sea is excellent, and the sand is soft and clean! The food prices at the hotel are high! If you want a more budget-friendly dinner, it's worth stepping out of the hotel and walking to the first shopping street nearby! I highly recommend attending the dinner with the Balinese show at the hotel: traditional dances and fire dances. The food was delicious, and the performance was very impressive! The show is daily, reservations can be made on the same day, and payment is after the show. Bottled drinking water in the room is free. The first minibar refill is also free (after that, you need to pay extra). The exchange rate at the hotel is unfavorable; it's better to exchange currency on the first shopping street in town. We were satisfied with every day of our stay at the hotel.

My stay at Royal Kamuela Villas in Ubud was absolutely wonderful. The villa was beautiful, peaceful, and very private. The location is perfect within walking distance to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary and Ubud Palace, which made exploring the area incredibly easy. The service was amazing. The staff were so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, making the stay feel extra special from the moment I arrived. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection and fresh flavors such a perfect way to start the morning. One of the most memorable moments was waking up to a visit from the monkeys, which was such a unique and fun experience being so close to the sanctuary. Overall, it was an incredible stay and I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Bali. Highly recommend!

Overall, I really liked the hotel. The view from the balcony was magnificent, overlooking the ocean – definitely choose such a room, you won't regret it. The grounds are large and well-maintained, and there are big pools. There are quite a few restaurants on-site where you can eat. The rooms are spacious and clean, though there are minor imperfections like some scuffed furniture or a stain on a table, but nothing critical. The hotel is on the first line with its own beach, but we didn't swim there; it was either high tide or low tide, or rubbish would wash ashore, which wasn't very pleasant for swimming. There are no cafes or shops nearby around the hotel; you have to walk about 20-30 minutes. Towards the end of our stay, we found a supermarket about a 10-minute walk uphill, but the selection was sparse. If you have a scooter, getting around wouldn't be a problem. Breakfasts were varied, featuring several traditional cuisines from different countries, although by the fourth day, we felt the food was more or less the same with minor changes to dishes. The fruits weren't tasty or sweet, only the bananas were decent. There's construction happening nearby, which does spoil the view if you look that way, but it wasn't particularly noisy. Perhaps rooms in other buildings closer to it might hear the noise, but we were lucky as we immediately requested a room further away from the construction. In the future, once the construction is finished, there will be a beautiful new hotel and a corresponding view.

This hotel is in a great location near the center of Kuta, and the area is lively until late at night, so it feels very safe. Both the concierge and reception staff were wonderful – very polite and approachable. Our room was clean with hardly any insects, so we felt comfortable using it. However, the walls seem thin, as we could often hear conversations from the next room. It was a shame that we couldn't sleep much because of someone on the phone from early in the morning.

My stay at Kenran Resort Ubud was mixed. I had specifically booked a room with a terrace on the 2nd or 3rd floor, but when I arrived, I was given a room on the 1st floor instead. Unfortunately, the room had a very strong mold smell, which made the first night quite unpleasant. I raised the issue with the staff, and only after a fairly long discussion did they agree to move me to another room the following day. Once I was moved to the 3rd floor, the experience changed completely. The room was much better, and the views from the resort were genuinely beautiful. My main advice to future guests would be to check the room carefully when you arrive, especially if you are placed on the 1st floor. Based on my experience, I would personally avoid the first-floor rooms. The breakfast was another weak point for me. The menu felt limited and could definitely be improved. Overall, the resort has amazing views and a lot of potential, and my stay became very enjoyable after moving to the 3rd floor. However, the first-day room issue and the breakfast quality stopped it from being a great experience from the beginning.

Probably the most affordable luxury cliffside resort in Uluwatu (formerly Anantara). Overall, it met expectations, though everything fell just a fraction short of perfection. If your budget is under 3K RMB, this is the top pick for an Uluwatu cliffside ocean-view stay. Room Facilities: The room is huge, featuring a very large sofa and bed. The bedding is comfortable, and the interior design screams vacation vibes. Both the pool and the bathtub turned out bigger than expected. Wi-Fi is stable and quite fast. I feel the water quality still doesn't compare to mainland China, but I used both the pool and tub without any issues—just be mindful not to let the tap water get into your mouth. Only two complaints: the water temperature wasn't hot enough, making post-swim showers a bit chilly—truly chilly; and way too many mosquitoes, which neither essential oil (Fengyoujing) nor mosquito coils could deter. Public Areas: The Uluwatu cliff views go without saying—stunning! The seawater quality is exceptionally good, definitely looking better in person than in photos. The resort's public areas give off a Santorini vibe, packed with holiday ambiance. But!! It is genuinely small, everything is small. There is only one pool and it's not large; the public area is basically just the pool with a row of loungers beside it. There is a private beach, but it's also very small, with strong rip currents, poor sand quality, and it's quite dangerous—strongly advise against going down there. Dining: The breakfast selection is limited, and on the first day when we arrived a bit late at the restaurant, many items were already gone. Breakfast ends at 10:30 AM, which is a bit disappointing for a luxury resort. However, the food quality was good and tasted decent; the chicken curry and omelets were both delicious. It feels like you're mostly paying for the ambiance—having breakfast with the sea breeze and ocean view maxes out the vacation feeling. We also tried the Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. It's around 300–500 RMB per person, with a 10% discount for in-house guests. We ordered a salad, a chicken teriyaki, a steak and chicken combo set, fried rice, and ice cream, coming to about 90k [IDR]. The chef was an Indonesian guy dressed like a Japanese, and his performance was very engaging. Most importantly, it was genuinely delicious!! After enduring 3 days of inhuman food in Bali, I finally had something humans are supposed to eat!! I almost shed a tear on the first bite. Highly suited to Chinese palates, highly recommended. Service: The service is truly impeccable. Anything requested via phone call is guaranteed to be delivered within 10 minutes. Welcome amenities were already prepared before we even stepped into the room, and every single staff member greeted us with a big smile whenever we crossed paths. After eating at the breakfast restaurant just once, the waiter remembered my name the next day and even reserved an ocean-view table for us. If you couldn't find your way, the staff would literally drop what they were doing and walk you there. I really feel Chinese hotels need to learn from Japanese and Southeast Asian hotels; even some luxury hotels back home feel so cold...

A wonderful hotel close to the river and jungle, very quiet and with beautiful nature. The hotel stuff is exceptional friendly and helpful. The food is very delicious and the restaurant stuff very nice, helpful fullfilling your requests. We felt extremely welcome there. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone 🤗Thank you so much for having us. Mr. Dominik and Ms. Joanna

was genuinely surprised by the hotel awaiting us. Though quite distant from Ubud’s city center, it captured classic Ubud charm with rice fields just steps from our rooms. My friends and I felt uneasy driving through narrow alleys lined with nearby ruins, questioning our choice at times. Yet venturing deeper unveiled a hidden oasis, where enthusiastic staff greeted us with special welcome drinks amid serene vibes. We were then led to our room, its balcony overlooking the verdant expanse—a true paradise found.

We decided to stay at this hotel for a night before our fishing trip, and we are so incredibly glad we chose this place! From the moment we arrived, the experience was wonderful. The location is very convenient, and the sea here is just great for relaxing. A special huge thank you to the staff, who are absolutely sweet and highly responsive. We want to specifically mention Nicho at the reception and the Duty Manager, Ryan Bawa, for their excellent hospitality. Right after we checked in, they even called our room to ask if everything was okay and if we needed anything-such a thoughtful and attentive gesture! For families, this is a fantastic choice because the nannies in the kids' club are wonderful and take great care of the little ones. The dining experience was also a big highlight. The food portions are very large and satisfying, and the breakfast is simply excellent. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning!

This hotel is to be avoided if you are a young family and not using the all inclusive facility. We were booked for 9 nights but cut our stay short by 4 days as we didn’t want to stay longer and feel like we wasted our time here. The hotel facilities are ok with a good sized pool with pool bar and access to a beach. There are two restaurants also. However the service of this hotel is lacking. We have a small child and requested a ‘quiet room’ as per the booking options and we were put in the room closest to the lobby and reception. The hotel also scheduled live music and bands to play every 2 nights in the hotel lobby until 11pm which obviously was a difficulty with the earlier bedtime for a 2 year old and the music being about 10 feet from our room door. The room was ok and had everything you would need in theory, however it was dated and it is common for rooms now to have a smart tv but the tv in the room lacked this feature. The room was cleaned daily but there was a few days were they didn’t provide enough the towels for the amount of people on our booking which is frustrating. Also, you are not provided a clothes drying rack in the room so we had nowhere to place our swimming costumes after a day at the beach. The booking included breakfast which was ok, nothing special but definitely adequate. The restaurants at lunch and the evening focused on buffet style or a small à la carte menu which obviously is geared towards the all inclusive guests. We didn’t eat here for lunch or dinner after the first day as it was not worth the money as a non all inclusive guests. A big frustration was the speed of service and also not all staff are trained on how to take payments so whether ordering a coffee at breakfast, getting the bill at lunch or ordering a drink at the pool bar you have to wait a long time until a server who can take payments becomes free. The pool and beach as mentioned in theory are good. However the hotels rules on reserving sunbeds is crazy. Guests are down at 6:30 reserving sunbeds and then leave for the rest of the day and only return throughout the day meaning no one else can use these. I was up everyday at 7 with a toddler and I was too late. For the 5 nights we stayed, we were unable to sit by the pool once and only got to sit by the beach twice. The hotel are aware of this and this caused arguments between guests which the hotel didn’t solve and turned a blind eye hoping the problem would go away. The guests - there was something about this hotel that gathered a large amount of rude guests. From common courtesy to actual physical fights between guests at the beach. This was not a friendly atmosphere or environment. Finally check out - we checked out 4 days early as I mentioned but upon check out I was almost forced (still not sure why) that in order to check out early I needed to sign a piece of paper stating that I wouldn’t post a bad review or post on social media about the hotel. Hence the anonymous review. This left an even worse stain as with the rush of wanting to leave it only dawned on me after being in the taxi out that it’s the first time I’ve ever had to sign something to check out early. No sorry from the hotel or how can we improve just we are forcing you not to complain. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Avoid
