인도네시아, 베노아 발리 - 올 인클루시브

12/15-18 숙박했습니다. 전체적으로 만족하지만 방음이 잘 되지는 않습니다. 특히 올인클루시브 고객을 위한 무슨 공연을 한다고 저녁9시부터 11시까지 미친듯 시끄럽게 음악을 틀고 노래를 하는데 잠을 잘 수가 없는 상태였습니다. 리셉션에 전화해서 항의해봐도 어쩔 수 없다며 10시면 끝날 거라고 이해해달라는 말만 반복하더니 결국 밤11시까지 온 리조트가 떠나가라 굉음 사운드가 장난아니었네요. 애 있는 가족이었으면 잠깨고 애울고 난리칠 정도였을 것 같습니다. 3박 했는데 하루는 전통 공연이라 그나마 나았지만, 마지막 날은 무슨 메탈에 락음악에 팝송 불러제껴서 화가 날 정도였어요. 그 외에는 시설은 적당한 수준입니다. 직원들도 친절하고요. 조식은 그럭저럭 먹을만한 수준입니다. 커피는 맛이없고 군고구마 냄새가 났습니다. 빵과 버터, 오믈렛, 과일은 맛있었습니다. 방에 화장대가 없어서 약간 불편했습니다. 전신 거울은 있지만 화장대가 없으면 아무래도 좀 그렇죠. 방안에 있는 컵과 커피포트는 잘 씻어놓지 않아서 수돗물을 끓인 물로 한번 소독을 하고 썼는데 이물질이 뭐가 많이 나오더군요. 네스카페 커피와 차도 있습니다. 침대는 단단하고 편안합니다. 침구도 청결한 편입니다. 방안에 탁자와 소파가 있어서 편했어요. 실내용 쪼리도 있었습니다. 샤워가운 있고요. 매일 물 두병 무료로 리필해줍니다. 금고도 있어서 유용하게 썼는데 마지막날 배터리가 다 되어서 못열뻔 했네요. 결국 다행히 열렸지만 깜짝 놀랐습니다. 다른 가족 방 금고 썼네요. 티비도 나름 컸고 YTN도 나오더군요. 풀장 이용은 안했지만 작지도 크지도 않은 적당한 정도로 수심1.75m정도라네요. 프라이빗 비치는 조용하고 괜찮았지만 옆 리조트보다 늦게 생겼는지 위치가 썩 좋지는 않았네요. 리조트가 이어져있어서 그런지 프라이빗 비치도 옆 리조트와 이어져있어서 가볼 수 있더군요. 제지하는 사람도 없고. 호텔 앞 울람(Ulam)이라는 식당은 비싸기만 하고 택스21%붙고 해산물 양도 너무 적고 돈 아까워요. 그에 비해 근처 마사지 샾은 나름 괜찮았습니다. 시끄러운 꾸따에 비해서는 조용해서 마음에 들었습니다.

Friendly staff. Place is a bit dated but still a very resort.

The hotel itself is lovely and the room is nice and spacious. The hotel is an all inclusive hotel (which when booked via hotels.com it did not say this and therefore we booked for breakfast only). If you have not booked all inclusive you end up being looked down upon, they have one card machine In the whole resort at reception and we had to keep going to reception for every single thing we bought. They would chase us down for every single transaction, why not just put it on our room number and we pay it all at check out? You have copies of our passports, we wouldn’t run off without paying. One staff member was particularly annoyed with having to go to reception with my fiancé to pay for our meal. Although one of the waiters was lovely. On our first morning housekeeping kept knocking on our door at 8am to clean our room, I’ve never experienced this before in all the hotels I’ve stayed in. I told them we were still sleeping and an hour later they came knocking again. We made sure to put the do not disturb sign up for the remaining days. We stayed in 3 different locations and Benoa/ Nusa Dua was the worst - too commercial and geared towards tourists in a horrible manner. You’ll pay the English rate for everything with 21% resort tax added on to any transaction. If you want to experience Bali then go to Ubud or further north of Bali.

Very enjoyable and great value for money!

100,000 Rph (10 dollars) for ONE SMALL BINTANG - that was our welcome at the pool bar after arriving to spend one last night on the beach. They might as well say “we think you’re an idiot and are going to make sure you know it” with a smile, or course. We knew straight away we had made a terrible choice - a hotel who wants to treat its customers like morons who are happy to pay 5x what something costs is not a place where I want to spend my money or my time. After of 3 weeks of an incredible adventure in Indo - (3 rd time here) stayed in hip and cool villas, hotels and private residence - are happy with paying a bit more for little luxuries - we unfortunately made a terrible decision and ended up at this cheesy resort (the CanCun of Bali) and were told that a beer, which we had never once paid more than 38k for - at the top end - was 80k plus 21 percent service. We immediately choose to have our massages and our dinner elsewhere. It’s not about the money - it’s about a company gouging beyond belief, customers who choose them. After leaving this dump to go to Jari Menari die amazing massages and BoBs for ribs, we came back feeling better - my partner ordered us a nightcap (knowing we would pay extra ) of 2 jack Daniels doubles (the bottle is 100 dollars in the bottle shop here) - and we were charged just that ... he made the mistake of not asking the price and then got the bill after the drinks were poured. 100 dollars - for 4 single shots of Jack Danials. stay away
