We spent the last four nights of our honeymoon at The Balé. We were welcomed by the general manager and got a welcome drink and a complimentary 15 minute massage. It was the perfect start of a great stay. Amazing property, beautiful and spacious villa, great service, wonderful food and drinks. Complimentary shuttle service to and from the beach, as well as all over Nusa Dua area, was very nice. The Tapa restaurant belonging to the hotel cooked up some mouthwatering tapas and the cocktails were out of this world. We would definitely come back. Thank you for your hospitality! With love, Mr. & Mrs.Myrland

Our room was fantastic! It was very private, comfortable, and spacious. The spa/dinner benefit was a great perk. The service was outstanding. The only downside is that the area isn’t walkable, but local transportation was provided by the Bale and they made it very convenient.

Great Resort, friendly staff that could not do enough to help, will stay at The Bale again.

The Bale is a bit too big in terms of its design and architecture for its own good - the public spaces feel more like civic spaces (like say within a public park) than a luxury hotel, and there is no sense of cosiness you'd normally get with a 5* boutique hotel with only about 30 rooms. I like minimal, but this is slightly spooky! Our deluxe pavillion was very spacious, but facilities (tv, stereo system) were slightly dated. Numerous gekkos call out throughout the night, about 1 metre from your ear as you lie in bed - this could easily be irritating, but I love gekkos and it was a bit like a grandfather clock, chiming the time. The food was very good - Tapa restaurant had good quality and variety for casual eats, and Faces was sophisticated and elegant. Choice, quality, price and quantity were all good. We were on half board, and between breakfast & evening meal, we had no space for lunch! Our package also offered a free bar 6pm-8pm each day (which we didn't know when we booked, but which was a major plus - very wide choice of cocktails, spirits, beers and wines on offer, great!). The spa treatments were very good, and sensibly priced. All in all, a great place to retreat to for a romantic getaway, if you don't expect much interaction with other guests and you can shake the feeling that everything is on too large a scale. The town of Nusa Dua itself we found underwhelming and not worth the effort.

I did hesitate initially to travel alone over the Xmas/New Year Holidays, however the kind and caring staff at The Bale, made we feel safe and secure immediately. The kindness, hospitably and genuine desire to fulfil my every request was astonishing. The staff at The Bale made we feel as if I was living in my own home and not a hotel room. In particular, Riska, Ras and Ari were brilliant and of course Andrea the General Manager showed outstanding levels of service. Thank you for making by week stay so enjoyable. The 2 restaurants, The Face (more formal dining) and Tapa ( more casual bistro dining/bar) both offered a good balance between local Balinese, Thai and Western dishes. All were very tasty and well presented. The Spa was great. Again excellent selection of treatments with highly skilled therapists. I love beaches on holidays and although The Bale is not beach front, the clean, picturesque, quiet Geger Beach is a 10 minute walk from the resort. The Bale do offer a complimentary shuttle transfer should you not want to walk. There is a private fenced off area on the beach for The Bale residents which was appreciated, however the staff attending to this area were rarely there to assist apart from the initial entrance to provide complimentary beach towels, sun screen, water, etc. The staff tended to disappear mostly after this initial meeting which was at times disappointing. The private area became less private when other non-guests took the opportunity to enter.
