The Indian Ocean is only minutes away, but it’s hardly the main attraction at The Balé. This luxurious 29-pavilion retreat rates high for its hip factor and subtle attention to detail. Relaxation and decompression come easy here, especially at the Spa, where world-class yoga teachers share space with renowned healers.

Beautiful villa with plunge pool. We loved how they had music playing when we arrived in the villa and checked us in in our room while sipping welcome drinks. Good variety of breakfast items (included in price of room)
What I disliked
Ongoing construction across the street. Ask for a room at the rear of the grounds. Large property with good amount of stairs, may be a difficulty for some. Since it's a tropical location, we had some bugs that got in our room.

How do you write a review for such an amazing place that exceeded every one of our very high expectations? I will try by giving some anecdotes from our stay. Our experience began shortly after we booked our stay when Yuni contacted us to gather information to help our stay be as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. After flying from New York, a representative from the hotel met us at the airport with cold towels, bottled water, fresh fruit, and nuts. We went directly from there to our room where our butler served us lemonade with a lemongrass straw while we checked in from the room (a very underrated luxury as we were extremely tired and weary from our travels). My wife has an intolerance to gluten and cannot eat bread or wheat so when we went to dinner, we mentioned our room number before sitting and they immediately knew both of our names and knew of my wife's food allergy. Every meal was prepared with her intolerance in mind. The general manager, Michele, mingled with the guests every night and my

The Staff and Manager were extremely friendly and helpful - they made our stay truly enjoyable. The Pavilion was simply stunning, everything was in excellent condition and to exacting standards. The food - both the inclusive breakfasts and 'Faces' restaurant was again some of the best we have had at any 5 Star Resort globally.
What I disliked
To be honest - nothing. Can't fault a thing.

Everything, room, space, envioronment, excellent service
What I disliked
Perfect for tranquil honeymoon, not for partying and meeting people, you feel like the only guest in the hotel. For us it was perfect, just what we needed.

The service was top notch. Anything we needed/requested was taken care of promptly and always with a smile.
The food at the restaurant was phenomenal. I didn't want to eat anywhere else in Bali because the food was so wonderful.
What I disliked
Perhaps being a little more flexible in the choices for tours. I know the hotel likely has agreements/partnerships with the companies/tours they suggest, but from speaking with other visitors to Bali it sounds like there is much much more available to do than what was recommended.
