Decent, but Not Worth the Hype
When I visited Love Anchor, I didn’t find it to be as exciting or unique as the hype suggests. Most of the shops in Love Anchor carried items you'd typically find in street stores around Bali—souvenirs, clothing, accessories, and trinkets. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much that stood out as being particularly special or different from what you’d find at local markets, so it didn’t feel worth the hype. If you’re looking for something unique or high-quality, you might be a bit disappointed. It was a bit busier than expected, especially during peak hours, which made the experience feel a little overwhelming. It’s definitely a bustling place, so if you’re hoping for a more relaxed shopping trip, this may not be the best choice. One downside I couldn’t ignore was the pressure from the salespeople. While I understand that upselling is part of the shopping culture, the level of persistence was a bit much at times.

the management should really educate the sellers there not to underestimate locals, that was my first time going there and definitely my last time, i rather go to kuta. people are...
Read moreDo not enter the shop that says “Buk Jro Mas” under any circumstances. (It’s the first shop on the left at the entrance) The staff are extremely rude. During the bargaining process, they suddenly snatch the items from your hands! They practically kick you out of the store. Choose other shops instead! …………………………………………………………..……….
Even your comment alone explains everything, actually. I’m not someone who writes a lot of reviews or gets overly concerned about businesses’ disrespectful behavior. So maybe five reviews seemed like too few to you. I’m not lying to you. Frankly, I don’t care what you think, because I simply shared the experience I had. I didn’t exaggerate anything — you can ask your employee and get the details if you’d like. I also don’t want to spend any more...
