Room was advertised as a 'garden view' room but actually looks out over a wall, shops and roofs. The room also smells slightly musty. O therPwise very comfortable and clean. Fresh towels, toiletries and drinking water is provided every day. The breakfast is very good and, some people don't know, but you can order special coffees. You cannot fault the service and friendliness of the Balinese staff all around the hotel. One thing that can be very annoying is that guests will 'reserve' sunloungers' at the beach and the pool for the whole day by dropping a towel on them. While there are pool attendants, they don't do anything about it. This means that at times there are no available chairs while there aren't actually that many people around. While this is mainly a guest problem, I think the hotel should have a policy and do something about this. Read less

This was our last stop from our visit in Bali for 2 weeks. Everyone was warm and welcoming. We were greeted by a welcome drink and a congratulations cake to the room as it was our honeymoon! The breakfast, room and facilities were amazing! I would 100% recommend this hotel!

Great hotel in Nusa Dua, we were B&B which let us go out and try different restaurants near the hotel. Staff are so helpful and any problems are sorted straight away. Beautiful beach location and definately worth getting up early for the sunrise. Breakfast selection was good with plenty of choice.

We had an absolute blast with my husband, rooms are beautiful and spacious with important amenities offered. I just wish waiters or waitresses would be more to not wait for too long for orders. The food is tasty and they offer a wide range of options. The experience is amazing.

We loved how Sol Benoa welcomed us at check in. Coming in late from an overseas flight, the frangipani lei and the fresh coconut drink put a big smile on our faces. Buffet breakfast was lovely, just the right amount and variety of selection. We enjoyed the carvery night, the meat, salad, pasta and desserts! This resort has a nice homey feeling… Read more
We loved how Sol Benoa welcomed us at check in. Coming in late from an overseas flight, the frangipani lei and the fresh coconut drink put a big smile on our faces. Buffet breakfast was lovely, just the right amount and variety of selection. We enjoyed the carvery night, the meat, salad, pasta and desserts! This resort has a nice homey feeling to it. Really good hospitality, everyone was warm and welcoming. We participated in the Janur Art class and the Cooking demonstration and it was a lot of fun. The pool is crowded for most of the day as guests tend to lounge there after breakfast. I wish they have a bigger pool. But the beach is just a short walking distance and makes up for the busyness of the pool. This property is compact, one doesn’t have to walk long distances from one area to another. Easy access to a sunrise view and the boardwalk. Thank you to Arthawa, Teja, Artha, Padma, Indra and Natalia for making our stay special. Read less
