The Apurva Kempinski Bali

Satria Permana

This hotel is fantastic. The lobby is massive and beautiful, with great decor. Check-in took a little while, but we got a free drink and towel, which was nice. While waiting, we took photos at the spot overlooking the hill and sea, and the view was incredible. We got upgraded to a suite with a private pool, which made our stay even better. The pool was perfect for relaxing after using the hotel’s facilities all morning and afternoon. Breakfast was awesome, with lots of options and really good flavors, as good as Padma Hotel’s breakfast, one of the best. We stayed two nights, and the menu was mostly the same but had enough small changes to keep things fresh. The swimming pool is great, with plenty of chairs to chill in. It’s windy with a beautiful sea view, truly special. The kids’ pool was nice too, with two slides. The private beach is amazing, clean, with white sand, lots of chairs, and a nice breeze. We could order food and coconut, which made it even better. Honestly, no need to visit other Bali beaches, this one’s perfect. The staff were all super friendly, always smiling and greeting us. Overall, an awesome stay, and I’m excited to return soon!

Amazing experience at the hotel! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, especially Vanny and April — such warm, caring individuals, always smiling and attentive. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. We had an incredible time! However, if I may make a suggestion for anyone planning to stay at the hotel, it would be to book the restaurants and activities well in advance, because when we arrived, everything was already fully booked and we couldn’t enjoy some of the activities, which was really disappointing.

Ardiasa & Leo (housekeeping) look after our room during our stay and nothing was ever too much. They were incredibly detailed and efficient. Amazing job and we were delighted every time we came back to our room. The entire property was amazing! There were so many little things (baby bottle sterilizer’s, hair straightens & club level snacks to name a few) that made our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. Our two year old absolutely loved the kids club!

We loved our stay at this hotel, especially the lagoon access room and the incredible experience at Koral Restaurant — both were definite highlights. However, we found that the hotel facilities, particularly the pool areas, lacked privacy and exclusivity for in-house guests. It often felt overcrowded due to the number of day visitors allowed access. The staff also seemed overwhelmed at times with non-staying guests, which impacted the service and overall atmosphere. While the hotel itself is beautiful, it started to feel more like a busy theme park than a relaxing resort. We truly hope the management reconsiders the balance between day visitors and the comfort of their staying guests.

A very impressive resort from the moment you enter. The lobby is spectacular with huge wooden carvings and a shimmering floor we were told came all the way from Madagascar. Our room was lovely, lots of space, super comfy bed and plenty of amenities. Loved the touch of the cake and personalised note, as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. Breakfast is buffet style and prepare for your tastebuds to travel round the world. The service was excellent and a special mention to our very attentive and smiley server Giana!
