We had the opportunity to travel to Bali with our kids, and my parents. We booked 2 rooms at SOL but on check in the GEX MANAGER ms Ratna Dewi saw we had kids and upgraded us to the Family Villa. This was the highlight of our trip in Bali. The Family villa is so spacious and so well designed we could really enjoy quality family time in the villa. The hotel walks out onto a stunninh beach, and has a walking path all along the beach, passing other hotels and restaurants along the way, such a great stroll. The hotel is very well located with restaurants just a short walk away, we also went for a walk each morning in the Bali Collection which is right next door, full of beautiful gardens, markets, souvenir stores and restaurants. The breakfast at Sol was amazing. If I have one regret it woulf be that we did not take the All inclusive package Thank you again ms Ratna. Read less

Amazing experience at this hotel. All the staff from the gardeners up to management were excellent, professional and friendly. They made our holiday extra special with a special anniversary romantic meal on the beach by candlelight. Rooms are very spacious, great selection of foods.

I can't find the words to describe the week spent in this hotel because everything was really positive and the thing I appreciated the most was the tranquility found here...just like at home. I appreciated many things but the one that struck me the most was the food: you eat well but unlike other resorts here they don't prepare 2000 different dishes where you can throw away more than half of them, here you find the right amount and different options where everything is cooked in an excellent way and the variety of dishes is sufficient. Many compliments for this because you shouldn't waste or throw away food because it's a shame. The staff is always smiling and very friendly, always ready to help you and meet your needs and I feel like thanking in particular the guys at the reception for being truly the best for their preparation and friendliness. The rooms are very large and very comfortable and the beds are very, very comfortable. My wife and I spent a week not in Bali but in paradise thanks to this structure and all the staff. Infinite thanks to everyone and if one day I return to Bali I will know where to go. For excursions contact DEWA (+62 851-0357-1055) he will show you the real Bali (Dewa speaks very good Italian and I recommend him to everyone but especially to future Italian hotel guests who do not speak English well).

Overall this is a lovely small hotel. However if you like hot (temperature) food this is not the place. Every meal I had was either cold or barely warm. One thing for sure I definitely have not put any weight on this holiday 🙃. If you want to see Bali use Wayan, you will find him on the beach by the water sports.

Excellent hotel with the most amazing people. The food and vibe is exceptional. From celebrating special birthday meals on the beach to plenty of water activities. Perfect location with plenty to do and many excursions in the local area. Thank you Bali and team Sol.
