My husband and I stayed at this hotel in September 2011. The first thing that impressed me was the very large, very beautiful and well-groomed territory of the hotel! Gardens, flowers, fountains, ponds. . . everything is very beautiful : ) The rooms are spacious, the furniture is chic, everything is decorated with taste and for convenience. The ocean on the coast of Jimbaran is quite calm (for the ocean), the ebbs and flows are almost invisible. About the cleanliness of the ocean. . . we all understand that this is the ocean. . )) it cannot be pure a priori. . . ) therefore, as soon as his excitement intensifies, all kinds of garbage are carried to the shore: bags, rags, etc. . . I can’t say that the hotel employees immediately rushed to clean everything up. . . ) The whole day we threw all this rubbish from under our feet, in the evening, at sunset, the staff climbed ashore and began to collect something. . . We were very pleased with the proximity to the famous restaurants right on the beaches of Jimbaran: to the left of the hotel, walk literally 50 meters, and to the right, a little further away (it took about 10-15 minutes). , a little cheaper. . . The average bill for two with a beer is $50-60, if with a lobster, for example, then about $80. On site, the prices, as you might guess, are rather high (for example, for 2 beers and Mahito $ 25) at the beach bar. You know, in general, the rest made an impression. My husband and I, resting, try not to pay attention to the little things. . . ) Although we treat the rest with all responsibility. . . rather, preparations for the rest: we carefully select the hotel, the coast. . . we read reviews. . . So that these "little things", and they will love it, be as small as possible. . . We were in different countries, rested in hotels of different categories. . . BUT. . . It's time for NO. . . ))) For the first time, while relaxing in the hotel, as it is represented by tour operators, LUX-category, we were faced with the fact that an impression was created that you were. . . sorry, you're interfering with the work of staff. . . ))) Because you are ALWAYS under their feet))) For example, without letting people sleep, they turn on washing vacuum cleaners under your door, starting to clean the tiles, rattling brushes on your door. . . And it's at 9 am! ! Unaccustomed to the first days, we could not wake up before 10 am (in Moscow at this time it is only 5 am! ) Therefore, a powerful rumble outside the door at 4 in Moscow could not please us. . . Farther. . . Usually they try to clean the room before lunch, when people are on the beach. . . Seems to be here too. . . at lunchtime you come to the room - the bed has been removed, the towels have been changed - the first signs that the staff has already "rustled". . . Not there it was))) At 5.6 or later, incomprehensible walking begins. . . First they ring the bell, we don't open. . . (you never know what we do there, sorry) The one who is outside the door does not stop that the TV is heard, the presence of people in the room is obvious. . . He starts knocking, ringing with a pen. . . until you open it for him. . . They thought that something had happened, but no!! )) He forgot to put rugs under the bed in the morning. . . And so every day, until they began to hang on the door handle "DO NOT DISTURB! " They remove themselves. . . the floor is parquet, the dust is immediately visible + sand, if you like it or not, it rushes into the room. . . The floor was not washed every day. Bathrobes. . )) here it's ridiculous))) It turns out that they are given once and for the duration of the entire stay at the hotel)) I kept thinking that they just forget to change them. . . I threw it into the bathroom, along with towels. . . What do you think? )) they were taken out of there and. . . hung the same robes back on the hanger. . ))) Here is the luxury category for you. . ) Breakfast. . . In the first days, we were ready to swallow our tongues - everything was so delicious! But still, for us, Europeans, their cuisine is exotic, and it is impossible to eat their dishes richly seasoned with spices (in particular, pepper) every day. . . There is simply no European cuisine for breakfast, with the exception of scrambled eggs and croissants! They ate yoghurt and fruit. . . ) Well, the last thing that unsettled me, despite the fact that we looked at all of the above through our fingers, they rummaged through our things. Particularly in a suitcase. They themselves are to blame, of course. . . need to be more vigilant. . . but. . . A couple of times we forgot to lock our suitcase. . . Basically, there was nothing of value there. We kept money (dollars and rupees), documents, watches and jewelry in a safe. There was my bag in the suitcase, in the pocket of which there was a certain amount in our rubles. Who needs them in Bali? ))) It turns out they are needed !! )) In general, I discovered this on the last evening before leaving, when I was packing my things. . . Frustrated, how terrible. . . Not for money, of course. . . You understand, it’s not very pleasant that someone climbed into a suitcase with their little hands, saw a ladies’ bag there, rummaged through it and took the money. . . I think that this person did not even understand what money was. . . but still took it. . . Bad moment. They didn’t say anything, they just told the administrator (a Russian-speaking girl) about it, so that they knew that such things were taking place, so that people would be warned. But in general, if for you these are nuances that you can not pay much attention to, the hotel is good. Our meeting party was Look Asia. Above all praise!! ! Thanks to them for the good organization of the rest and attention to their tourists! ! well done! ! P. s. Resting in Interkont, we talked with the locals. . . very praise Four Seasons Jimbaran Resort 5 * and Ayana Resort & Spa (ex. the Ritz Carlton Bali Resort & Spa) 5 * ; ) So. . . Have a nice holiday in Bali!! ! P. s. s. I strongly advise you to visit Ubud at the beginning of your trip. . . And not just to visit, but to live there for a couple of days, as we did on the advice of our friends and part-time travel agents. We stayed there for 2 days in the chic hotel Kupa Kupa Barong. This is something!!! ! It is a paradise!! ! There is just an unreal atmosphere, nature, service and everything else!!!! ! that's where I would come back and will definitely come back!!! ))) It is rightly said that without visiting this place, you will not feel Bali. . . And this is so in fact, because the resort places, the coast. . . it's like everywhere else. . . The same shops with souvenirs, restaurants, a lot of tourists. . . And here is something completely different. . Here is the exotic! This is the real Balinese flavor!
