Was very disappointed in our stay. ||Location is very noisy, road noise, packs of dogs barking all night and general street noise were not a great start. ||We picked this place to ensure we were close to Jimbaran Beach to eat the seafood at one of the restaurants on the beach. Totally disappointed with the food at the beach and also the service. The “wait” staff were more interested in getting in more punters than serving the guests they already had sitting and waiting to order. So I wouldn’t recommend staying here for easy access to the beach restaurants which I rate as below average, being kind.||Bali Baliku private pool villa is ok at best. Very tired rooms, very basic amenities and as I said before very noisy. Rooms were clean.||The pool is okay, just need to watch the broken tiles to not scratch yourself. The pools are built in black stone, so pool stays at a bath temperature, ok if you want to spend a lot of time in the pool but not too refreshing.||Lastly, the food. Terrible in a word. We stayed for 4 nights and gave breakfast a try twice. First we had a mie goreng and Nasi goreng. They were both bland, funny tasting and no chicken to be seen. We didn’t finish them. Tried the banana pancake and it was a dried up 1/2 waffle that was cut in half. Not the nicest. We looked at fruit but the flies seemed to be enjoying it so we decided not to interrupt them.||Second morning breakfast was no better. Milk was foul in my tea and bread was beyond stale. I had bacon and eggs, couldn’t eat the “bacon” and the sides of potato and greens looked inedible so pretty much left it all except the scrambled eggs which were ok. As I was still hungry, looked at the pastry selection and it hadn’t moved from the day before and were stale and hard to the touch. Even the bread when toasted was still ordinary. My wife challenged the waitress about how stale things were but she said it was bought this morning, doubtful in our minds. We opened a butter for our toast and it was rancid and mouldy. We left restaurant as soon as we saw that butter.||So breakfast day 3 and 4 was outside hotel as we didn’t want to go through that again. ||Towels we had were also stale smelling and not changed.||All in all would not recommend to stay here especially at the price they...

Read moreEs una vergüenza que las AAVV, El Corte Inglés y Mayoristas NOBELTOURS, en nuestro caso, se permitan engañar al viajero de la manera que lo hacen... En fin, para ser escuetos aunque con ganas de escribir el Quijote después de nuestra experiencia, os diremos que este hotel no tiene más que ofrecer que un alojamiento correcto obviando la lista de servicios que se supone ofrece el hotel y te pertocan como cliente después de pagar una tarifa más alta que en otros hoteles- resort de la zona. Para empezar decir que fuimos un experimento de la Mayorista y AAVV como primeros clientes para este hotel que les debió arrojar un buen margen de beneficio a costa de nuestra gran decepción... por supuesto, no han asumido ningún tipo de responsabilidad... El hotel se sitúa en la zona más degradada de la playa de Jimbaran, donde se encuentran los restaurantes (barracas) de marisco frecuentados por la gente local que se adentran en la playa dejando la misma totalmente inutilizable al día siguiente, impensable tomar el sol o bañarte entre cabezas de pescado y gambas, demás restos de comida, basuras pestulentes cuyo olor se acentúa con la intensidad del calor del día y un largo etc de insalubres condiciones a lo que la página web del hotel llama "Beach Club" y te plantan unas hamacas y una playa de ensueño totalmente inexistentes... al igual que es impensable pasear por los alrededores sea la hora que sea del día ya que el ambiente está inundado del humo de los restaurantes y el olor es también un poco "cargante"...los hoteles cercanos como el Intercontinental tienen sus playas limpias y cuidadas, éste no! entre otras cosas porque no se trata de una playa privada... Por otro lado, del paquete "honeymoon" que también detallan en su web sólo podimos disfrutar de un medio-desayuno que sirvieron con casi una hora de retraso, donde faltaban la mitad de las cosas y donde nos incluían un buen circular de hormigas... El resto de días, desayunamos en el único restaurante del hotel, siempre vacío, un escaso y pobre desayuno que ni un hotel de media estrella tendría la osadía de ofrecer... a esto le llaman "Luxury Villa" ja!... Servicio de shuttle a Kuta y Nusa Dua, "more lies", sólo una vez pudimos disponer de este servicio a Nusa Dua después de mucho discutir el recepcionista con un taxista y de entregarle dinero delante de nuestras narices para que nos llevara a esta zona... nos preguntamos ¿pero no está incluido como servicio del hotel? ¿por qué pagan-timan a este buen hombre?... Cenas: si quieres cenar en el hotel ves con al menos una hora de antelación, además de ser los únicos comensales tuvimos que ver cómo el cocinero, con gorro incluido, iba a comprar a los chiringuitos parte de la cena que habíamos pedido... ¿nada en la nevera?... ¿dónde está el control de calidad de los alimentos? porque repito, la zona era lo suficientemente sospechosa como para no dudar de la calidad de la reciente adquisición de pollo y hamburguesa... Hay que decir que los balineses siempre tienen la sonrisa en la boca y que el trato de la gente siempre fue bueno, aunque te quisieran vender una excursión de un día cuando tú sólo necesitabas un taxi... ||En resumen, nuestra intención era disfrutar de un hotel con un buen nivel de prestaciones ya que incluso pagamos más caro que cualquier resort de, por ejemplo, Nusa Dua, donde en principio teníamos habitación en Melia Bali y que a última hora y con el fin de llevar a cabo este experimento con nosotros, nos cancelaron: playa limpia, piscinas, jardines, cafeterías, bares, restaurantes, zonas de recreo y ocio, zona deportiva, actividades del hotel, animación turística, servicio de transporte, buffet de desayuno variado, servicio de habitaciones, incluso algo tan simple como tv y canales internacionales, y un largo etc... que no pudimos disfrutar, todo un pack que consideramos pagamos con creces y que con toda nuestra gran decepción frustraron. Por supuesto que aprovechamos para hacer excursiones (a éso íbamos) y el resto del tiempo lo pasábamos en la ciudad de Kuta, para entretenernos pero si, en cuanto a alojamiento se refiere, estas hubieran sido nuestras expectativas hubiéramos reservado un hotel baratito en Kuta y no hubiéramos fantaseado con pasar una semana idílica en una preciosa isla y un estupendo hotel donde olvidar la cotidianidad del día y día con el esfuerzo que supone el coste de este tipo de viajes y estancias. Claro que, me imagino que a Nobeltours sólo le importa hacer caja. He aquí un gran ejemplo de lo engañosa que puede ser una página web y el confuso asesoramiento de los agentes de viajes, que nos vendieron este hotel como "ideal parejas" ... Queremos dejar claro que nuestra crítica se centra en el alto precio que pagamos por una estancia que no merecía ser valorada más que como un hotel de 1 estrella por su inexistente oferta al cliente y equipamiento ya que no hay nada más indignante que sentirse de alguna...
