Having visited Bali four times, this cliffside hotel offered the best experience, on par with Amankila, where I stayed a few months ago. With only eight villas in total, we booked a two-bedroom ocean view villa. It had a huge living room and even a game room (though we only played a racing game for a bit, unfortunately). The hotel's environment is beyond words; the ocean view is almost identical to the Alila I stayed at previously. My only regret was being overconfident based on past experience. Previous Chinese New Year trips to Bali were always sunny, but this year, Chinese New Year was late, and by the time we arrived, it was already the rainy season. We stayed for four nights and only got half a day of sunshine to explore the cliffside road; the rest of the time was gloomy and rainy. Important advice repeated three times: NEVER go to Bali during the rainy season, NEVER go to Bali during the rainy season, NEVER go to Bali during the rainy season, or you'll question all your life choices. Special shout-out: The hotel's in-room dining is incredible! The Tomahawk steak was the best I've ever had, far superior to even the most expensive French restaurants in Beijing. The portion was very generous, and the grilled lobster was also excellent; I had it three times. The value for money is exceptional, not expensive at all compared to Icon Bali mall. The only minor drawback was the lack of a Chinese-speaking butler. We've stayed at nearly twenty hotels in Bali, including Four Seasons, Amankila, Soori, and Banyan Tree, and this cliffside hotel would still be our top choice for a return visit.
