The Oberoi Beach Resort, Bali

Great location, spacious grounds, lovely views of the sea and a wonderful pool area.

The rooms are a little dated and could do with a re-fresh.

The best luxury hotel in Bali! Amazing set up along the beach, wonderful rooms even the standard ones, magnificent pool, all built with traditional material that make it look like a series of Balinese temples. The service is world class and I can’t see any area for improvement! We spend two days like in a dream.

Absolutely fantastic hotel. To find any fault would be very difficult. The pool area was fantastic with comfortable loungers and excellent staff - water on demand etc - they could not do more for you. We loved sitting watching the sun set at the bar - the hotel has managed to prevent bars/stalls opening on the beach in front of the hotel (which many other hotels have not) so from the hotel you have an unobscured view of the sunset. It is priceless! A short walk along the beach takes you to various beach clubs and cafes, and you are under 10 minutes to all of the bars and restaurants in Seminyak town centre. Breakfast was great and you can go a la carte - adding breakfast to our room rate on booking was very expensive so being able to have something like avocado on toast from an a la carte menu was appreciated. We also took part in free yoga one morning and enjoyed the complimentary Balinese afternoon tea, which was often accompanied by music or dancers at 4pm! We are already discussing when we can return! Also just to note - the pool area is very quiet - I have stayed at hotels with music etc by the pool - so definitely more suited to families/couples rather than younger groups - there was one rowdy group at the bar one night and no one at the hotel appreciated it!

The property was so nice we were reluctant to leave it! Only slight negative is the cost to add breakfast at the time of booking which was overpriced - but luckily they had the a la carte option available (although you wouldn't know this at time of booking).

Perfect from start to finish, just a shame we were unable to stay longer. The most amazing hotel I've ever stayed in. Great location, accommodation, service. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so pleasant.

Although the hotel does its best to keep mosquitos under control, if you're prone to bites, make sure you use repellant in the evening.
