The rooms are great and that's what lured me back to this hotel a second time with my whole family. The Balinese style bungalows nestles in a lush green tropical garden cut out a world of their own and gave me no feeling of the monotony of the regular impersonal hotel room. This, together with the friendly staff who always greeted us with a sincere smile, made the stay more like being guests of a large Balinese family. There may be the odd ants in the bathroom, but they are no bother if you do not work yourself up about them.
Another thing charming about this hotel is its size. Operating at a moderate scale, the hotel caters to a size of clientile just big enough to animate the site, and small enough to avoid the crowding of the beach. Just a short walk to neighbouring hotels would be enough to make one feel lucky to be in Bali Tropic.
The buffet dinner with traditional Balinese dance at the elegant temple stage is good value. Food at hotel restaurants is ok, but not superb and certainly expensive for what one gets. That does not have to be a handicap though. There are plenty of local restaurants up the road, which can give a little break from the hotel routine.
If there is one thing that can keep me permanently out of the hotel restaurants, that would be the muzak of old fashioned and cliche western pop songs. I much prefer the melodious Balinese music with the bamboo flute playing a peaceful and simple tune, reminding me of the rice fields and bamboo wind charms. A HotelTravel.com Member, United Kingdom
We went there for a romantic week away and found the Bali Tropic a perfect choice for a couple or small family, although there is not a lot to do for children. Rooms are beautiful, as are the grounds. Staff very polite and helpful. Only slight complaint is the choice of food, which is limited. Otherwise full marks, will definitely be going back!

Staff was very friendly and operated as a team. Beach not as white as in the picture. Also jellyfish (?) causing skinproblem. Donald Goh, Singapore
We were pleasantly overwhelmed by the hospitality. Great Service, Room space is great, only misgiving is the hotel is a distance away from shopping streets. The room available to us after we checked out, for us to freshen up beore we board for night flight, was really timely and much appreciated. A HotelTravel.com Member, Switzerland
The beach is not very clean and the water was dirty. Out of the center there is nothing to do outside (walking distance) The royal bungalow is everything but a bungalow. There are 14 rooms in one building. No privacy on the first floor as everybody can see in the room. AC was not properly functionning. couldn't fix it during 5 days A HotelTravel.com Member, United Kingdom
A really nice environment and first class staff. The cost was very low in relation to the standard of accommodation. We stayed at the Westin earlier in the holiday - whilst the overall environment was marginally superior, the Westin charged heavily for a lot of things that were inclusive at the Bali Tropic and felt like a rip-off. We were very happy with the Bali Tropic and will definitely return. Nicolas Lim, Malaysia
The place is well designed and very balinese with a nice pool and enough recreational activities and nite performances to keep the place alive. Food was excellent, service was friendly. The room is spacious and bath area was impressive. However, when we checked in the room, the floor was dusty and I had to request for floor to be mopped twice. For the price, it is real value for money, I would go back again. James Gani, United Kingdom
Enjoyable stay at this high quality resort. The staff were very friendly and helpfull. There is slight focus towards all inclusives guests when it comes to the resterant facilities, but not a major issue. Overall, well recomended. Goh Hong Ling Leena, Singapore
I had asked for a room with a Queen sized bed but was given one with 2 single bed. Though they changed one for us but the location was not as ideal as the first room. A HotelTravel.com Member, Malaysia
honestly speaking, we couldn't really care about the standard of the room as when you are there, you'll be totally overwhelmed by the hotel's view and atmosphere. spa was excellent! the basic necessaties were there, that's enough to satisfy us. |
