5-Star Hotels in Bali

The hotel isn't far from the airport, and the environment inside is lovely, with a strong Balinese vibe. There are four or five pools catering to different needs, plus a private beach. The hotel also has many restaurants, and the food is quite good. The rooms are spacious, though the facilities are a bit old. Breakfast is very rich and delicious!

We stayed at The Stones Hotel for 3 nights in August, and our stay was very pleasant from the moment we checked in. We were warmly welcomed by the staff, and as this was our babymoon, Yuli and Sari went the extra mile to make our stay a little more special. They even prepared such a cute note for us — please see the picture! It was a really thoughtful touch and made us very happy. The breakfast was also one of the highlights of our stay. There was a great variety of food, and the staff were always polite, friendly and helpful. My daughter also lost her swimming cap during our stay. We checked with the front desk, and the staff took the time to look for it and managed to find it for us. We really appreciated the effort, especially with a young child. Overall, we had a really nice stay at The Stones Hotel and felt well taken care of throughout our visit. We would definitely come back again when we visit Bali!

The cliffside rooms offer great views. They're very spacious, clean, and feature a wet/dry bathroom separation, with each room having its own balcony. The hotel's toiletries are excellent, and they provide unlimited filtered drinking water daily. The hotel also organizes daily activities that guests can choose to join. Facilities: There are many swimming pools with clean water. There's also a beach pool, a favorite for kids, and a small private beach – not ideal for swimming, but perfect for a quick dip. Breakfast: It's decent, enough to fill you up. Surroundings: There's a construction site nearby, but it's not noisy, just a slight obstruction to the view. Transportation: It's quite far from the city center, so you'll need a taxi to get around. There are no convenience stores nearby.

This resort-style hotel truly has it all when it comes to dining, entertainment, and amenities. From recreational facilities and an indoor pool to a private beach and buffet restaurants, everything you could want is right here. The 'all-inclusive' in the hotel's name means that for an additional fee, you get unlimited access to the hotel's various buffet restaurants throughout the day. If you opt for the all-inclusive package, you essentially won't need to leave the hotel at all during your stay. The hotel attracts a lot of foreign guests, mostly vacationers who seem to stay for extended periods. During our two-day stay, we were the only two Chinese guests in the entire hotel – the breakfast staff recognized us instantly! 😂 The rooms are large and comfortable, each with its own balcony. The hotel service is genuinely excellent, and the breakfast buffet offers a fantastic variety. While the hotel does show its age a bit, with some facilities looking a little dated, it doesn't detract from the overall experience.

Ramayana Resort & Suites – Our First Bali Anniversary Stay ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was our first trip to Bali, and we chose Ramayana Resort & Suites in Kuta to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We stayed for 6 days and 5 nights, from 24–29 August, in a Grand Deluxe Room (Room 745). The resort has a pleasant and relaxing environment, and the location is excellent. Everything we needed was within walking distance, including Kuta Art Market, restaurants, eateries and convenience stores. This made it very convenient, especially for our first visit to Bali. The buffet breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay. There was a really good spread with plenty of choices, and we enjoyed the breakfast throughout our stay. Although Ramayana Resort & Suites is a 5-star resort, we felt that some aspects of the room could be improved. The bathroom was not as clean as we would expect from a 5-star property. It was still acceptable and usable, but the cleanliness could definitely be improved to meet the standard we expected from a 5-star resort. There was also only one suitable plug point for charging mobile phones. Although there were USB ports available, they were not USB Type-C, which made charging modern devices a little inconvenient. The biggest issue was the very low water pressure in the shower. We informed the front desk about it, but unfortunately, it appeared that no action was taken, and the water pressure remained extremely low throughout our stay. Apart from these issues, the rest of the room was fine and comfortable. Unfortunately, on our second day in Bali, we had a frightening experience while walking to dinner. In front of Yan’s House in Kuta, two men approached us from behind and tried to pull the chain from my husband’s neck. My husband managed to push one of them, causing the chain and pendant to fall. Thankfully, the thieves did not manage to take the jewellery, and most importantly, neither of us was injured. We immediately informed the resort about what had happened and asked whether they could assist by checking the CCTV from the neighbouring hotel, Yan’s House, as the incident happened right in front of it. Unfortunately, we were told that they could not do so and were advised not to wear gold jewellery while walking around. We understand that the resort cannot be held responsible for an incident that happened outside the property. However, as guests, we would have appreciated a little more assistance or guidance following such a frightening experience. Despite the unfortunate incident, we had a pleasant stay at Ramayana Resort & Suites, particularly because of its excellent location, good breakfast and pleasant environment. That said, for a 5-star resort, we feel there are areas that could be improved, particularly bathroom cleanliness, shower water pressure, charging facilities and guest support following safety incidents. For anyone staying in Kuta, especially first-time visitors to Bali, please be extra careful with your belongings and jewellery. Avoid displaying valuable jewellery, keep your mobile phone secure, and remain alert when walking around busy tourist areas. We were fortunate that neither of us was hurt and that our jewellery was recovered. This was our first Bali trip and our wedding anniversary, so while we had many enjoyable moments, the robbery attempt was certainly a frightening experience that we will never forget. A resort with a great location, excellent breakfast and a pleasant environment, but with some room for improvement to fully match the expectations of a 5-star property.

The room was fantastic, with brand-new appliances. Service via WhatsApp was almost instantaneous. It's a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle, so nights are peaceful. Right downstairs is a shopping center, so you have everything you need for daily life and entertainment even if you don't step out. If I had to pick a downside, one would be the air conditioning outdoor unit noise in the rooms near the door, which might not suit light sleepers (though it was fine for kids). The other is that breakfast is served at Yello Hotel, a sister property. While the service was good, the breakfast itself was quite simple with limited options. After 7 days, I honestly lost my appetite, perhaps also because I'm not used to the heavily spiced Indonesian food.

A fantastic hotel on the eastern part of the island. It is more suitable for a quiet family vacation and for those who prefer beach relaxation over surfing and parties. It is located quite far from the center of the island's main activity. The hotel has excellent infrastructure. The room was large, spacious, clean, and had everything needed. The breakfasts were excellent and very varied. The hotel staff is wonderful and very friendly. I would especially like to highlight the bartender Dede, who was very courteous and helped me repeatedly in planning my activities in Bali. The hotel has a private beach and various pools to suit any taste. I definitely recommend this wonderful hotel.

Good hotels, but needed refurbishment soon. One of the room assigned to our group was not very good condition anymore, slidding door with broken lock and hard to open/close, phone line was not connected well, furniture was worn out and feels outdated with all interior. We had booked 2 rooms and requested on king size bed in both rooms but they were located very far from each other. They should have at least given us the option to take the room or preferred closer to each other with different bed type. They told us that we were upgraded to the room with pool access, but we feel like being downgraded with out of service room. The highlight of our stay was the breakfast service. It has a great varieties, freshly prepared dishes, pleasant and relaxing ambiance, and fresh local fruit was incredible. We love the pool too, good design and very well maintain, so many choices of pool for different age group and activities, great crowds at the pool bar area, and good number of sun lounges. The stay is still memorable to our family. Recommended

A wonderful hotel close to the river and jungle, very quiet and with beautiful nature. The hotel stuff is exceptional friendly and helpful. The food is very delicious and the restaurant stuff very nice, helpful fullfilling your requests. We felt extremely welcome there. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone 🤗Thank you so much for having us. Mr. Dominik and Ms. Joanna

Hotel set near paddy field, nicely natural environment. Service is superb. Layout of the normal room is not so fuctional with the toilet n shower room at opposite ends of the room. We decided to pay to upgrade to a more plesant layout where toilet, shower room, basins are much better layed out n functional. Pool with the villa is an added pleasure.
