Rumah Bali, Nusa Dua

If you prefer a more boutique hotel over the mega resort experience, you wont be disappointed in Rumah Bali. Nice size rooms with fridges and some with kitchenettes. Comfortable beds. Great pool. Some rooms have outdoor bathrooms. Staff in Bali are always terrific, but Rumah staff still take service up a notch. Fabulous breakfasts (we prefer the Balinese option), and room service food is provided by Bumbu Bali (best restaurant in the area). Wifi is very good (20mbps). Thatch roofs on some units means you may be woken up by early by local wildlife....not a problem for us. The area immediately surrounding this B&B is not as interesting as what you might find in other areas of Bali...but many nearby options for dining and amenities, with reasonable prices. A short walk to beach with many restaurants and recreation options. Dont place too much weight on trip advisor ratings for nearby restaurants (come are grossly inflated) We preferred Bumbu Bali and the restaurant in the Reef hotel (on the water).

After a very long day of flying, this was a fantastic deal and the perfect opportunity to rejuvenate with the help of perfect amenities and even better staff

Where do I start? We requested a pick up from the airport and despite the delay the driver was there waiting for us with a smile!!! The reception in the hotel was very good and they explained the facilities, etc. Then we got to the room (wide and clean) on the 1st floor. With perfectly working air conditioning and a nice view to the interior of the hotel which is set like a little villae. Keep in mind this is NOT a 5 star hotel but.... it is clean, it is friendly and if I ever come back to Bali and this hotel I would book one of the private villas (just for fun). Nice pool to be used even at night. In the room you have a TV in English but I turned it on just to see if it worked :). Good wi-fi everywhere. In the reviews I read mentioning poor breakfast... I must say that the Balinese breakfast was excellent!!! My guess is that continental breakfast might not be the best but... That was never in our mind! When in Bali... have a Balinese breakfast! The cons... well... I am still rating 5 stars because the cons are what they are. You have a beach on walking distance and they can give you a ride to another beach in the area as the one close to the hotel is not "top notch". But it has many water sports available !!! which is a plus! Additional Plus: Many restaurants nearby. I would recommend Ballicious! but we also went to quite a few other.

Fantastic hotel in typical Balinese style. The private villas with pool are stunning, Great breakfast! I recommend without hesitation. The beach nearby is not very good but the hotel offers free shuttle to the better beach of Nusa Dua. The only drawback is that you then need to take a taxi back to the hotel (a bit far), the shuttle doesn’t come to pick you up on your way back. Otherwise, plenty of restaurants and massage salons just outside the hotel.

Second time we have stayed and will definitely be staying again. I cannot find a better more relaxing and scenic place to stay.
