The rooms are outwardly good, but the room (3340) stank of dampness, dust and urine. Is it 5*? Is this Hyatt?
Breakfast for 5* is very modest!! ! We are experienced travelers, so believe me, my opinion is based on experience. Nothing has changed in breakfast for 2 weeks. For 2 weeks there was never any red fish, no fish in principle, no seafood, no freshly squeezed juices (packaged juices). And these are the tropics with delicious and cheap fruits, and the ocean full of fish and seafood? I don’t drink champagne, but this is an attribute of a 5 * hotel - I have never been. Breakfasts are not just not of the Hyatt level, they are not of the 5* level!!!
Massages in the hotel are 5 times more expensive than in Bali Gollection???!! ! Massages are no different.
In general, this hotel gives the impression that you are not a guest - you are a big cash cow.
From the good:
1. Huge beautiful and well-groomed territory.
2 The hotel is located on the most beautiful and widest beach and its beach line is 650m. The mattress beds are very comfortable. The beach is so big that you hardly run into other guests. We went to see Laguna beach, Sofitel, Melia (beach one), but it's a nightmare!! ! There is no beach and no ocean either.
3. For stays over 9 nights massage 30 minutes per person and dinner as a gift.
4. Bali Gollection is across the road. In Bali Gollection in a cafe, pay attention to the cost of dishes should include taxes and service, otherwise you will be charged another 21%. Of my favorite cafes where taxes are included and everything is delicious, I can recommend Prada Priority (aka Crispy duck) (where there is live music) and Aglio. There is practically no difference in price compared to a cafe in the village.
It's up to you to decide whether to relax in the Hyatt or not, but having been to Bali, I do not recommend Bali for relaxation. If there is a choice, I would recommend the Dominican Republic or the Maldives.
Of the minuses, only that animation lovers will have to go to other areas of the hotel. Meals are only breakfasts, but there is always coffee, tea, juices, fresh juices, cakes on the table. dinner. but without porridge and potatoes, plus any alcoholic drinks without limitation. Service is excellent
I strongly advise you to rent a car, it is better and cheaper to take a taxi. Cheap enough.
At the Denpasar arrival airport, there are quite cheap Duty Free shops.
In May, it is hot and stuffy, like in a Russian bath around the clock.
We took grand standard rooms overlooking the garden, we were very happy that the 5th floor, as the view from the balcony is very beautiful, no one bothers or makes noise under the windows and the ocean is visible.
So, the room itself is no frills, fairly maintained, but spacious and bright. Too little space in the wardrobe, cleaning in full decent, fruit every day.
We only took breakfast (for the first time in all our previous trips) and I want to recommend it to everyone, since the rather monotonous breakfast did not impress us, and the cost of dinner is absolutely overpriced.
But the territory is just chic, everything is really buried in greenery, water lilies, flowers, full of birds and squirrels, who even ran to visit the balcony and ate chips right from their hands with pleasure. All in ponds with lots of fish.
The beach is spacious, sun loungers under the trees, a beautiful beach in the ocean and low tides did not interfere with us at all, it was clean. We never swam in the pool, but it makes sense if there is such an ocean nearby.
The staff is very welcoming and helpful. As for the bars, the prices for alcohol, as well as throughout Bali, are quite high.
The most important advantage of the hotel, apart from the territory, is the location. Right in 10 steps - Bali Collection, a huge area with many shops, cafes, restaurants, spas. Firstly, you can take a walk nearby, without a taxi and loss of time, and secondly, it’s very tasty to eat (I would especially like to mention "Prada" - New Zealand beef and lobsters with seafood - just super. In all restaurants, immediately ask for a tax and a service charge. (basically everywhere it turns out + 21% + 10%, but they give some kind of discount; in "Prada", in addition to the absence of all allowances, there is also a discount of 15-20%, but believe me, the service assortment and taste do not suffer from this, here is free Wi -Fi)), thirdly, go to the spa (we chose "Cayman" for ourselves from the super price, you can take another 10-20% discount), fourthly, souvenirs and things (shorts, polo shirts, t-shirts).
On the first evening, we took a taxi collection near Bali and for 5 bucks we went to the village of Jimbaran for dinner at sunset (read the reviews) - don’t you dare, the dirt is not only in restaurants, but the entire coast is just a trash can, and prices are unreasonably expensive. Having met the driver Newman, who, like us, barely spoke English, we took the phone of a Russian-speaking guide, his name is Aya, we highly recommend it, we were lucky - he is a young, well-read, well-speaking and interestingly telling guy. There were no punctures with him, we traveled many places in three days. On the day from 9 to 19 patili for all 40-45 dollars. Once we took a trip on a yacht for the whole day with fishing, trolling, snorkeling right on the beach near a local named Fotik for $ 360, we were a little disappointed, although this is not for everybody. We regretted that Aya did not organize such a trip for us (both cheaper and better). It rained every 1 day, but despite this, we had the most positive impressions. On the way back we stopped for 3 days in Singapore. Worth a look for everyone - the city of the 22nd century.
We will return to Bali for sure, everyone have a pleasant stay.
Most likely I will repeat the information from previous reviews, but I will try to give something new. Maybe someone will come in handy.
Tour Indonesia, about. Bali, Nusa Dua, Grand Hyatt Bali. Operator - Pegas - Tourist, departure from Yekaterinburg, charter Boeing 767 of Nord Wing airline (flight delay 2 hours), non-stop flight 12 hours, vacationers - two adults and a child of 9 years old. Ticket price 16.000 rubles.
The hotel for guests of standard buildings in itself has many advantages, which were written about earlier. This is a clean large green area, and the best SPA, and a clean large beach, and proximity to the center of the evening promenades and shopping "Bali Collection". Ebb tides (as someone incorrectly wrote in a review that only in the morning) are tied to the activity of the moon and sun and do not have a clear daily start and end time. So they will be in the mornings and at nights and it does not bother me at all.
You can also quite easily (by paying a few American rubles at the reception) to increase the level of comfort by changing the standard room to the Grand Hyatt Club room. What we did on the day of arrival. All the problems described in previous reviews are immediately solved. The rooms are chic, the furniture is new, a bathtub with a window, a shower, two separate sinks and a three-meter wardrobe - a compartment (all things are on hangers and shelves), 40-inch plasma, DVD and of course fresh fruit daily, bathrobes, slippers, water and ice. Location 20 meters from the beach. Own indoor pool. In addition to changes in the room, you get the opportunity to have breakfast in your "Club" restaurant, where both the variety of products and the service are higher. All day tea coffee (ibid. ) and light snacks. But the main thing is that every day from 17:00 to 19:00 the “all inclusive” time (not dinner! ) is a fairly wide selection of alcoholic drinks with rather non-trivial cold and hot snacks (smoked eel, jamon, shrimp, scallops, elite varieties of French cheese, salmon, tuna, etc. ), fruits, pastries, desserts. Naturally, only a late arrival from an excursion can prevent a visit to this event, which takes place at sunset, on a terrace surrounded by a pond with fish, monitor lizards, birds, accompanied by light national music and exceptional service. Dinner after that is no longer needed.
Maybe that's why my subjective opinion the hotel keeps its 5 stars. All issues are resolved. Not everything is free, but the very possibility of “any whims for your money” is not available in all hotels in the world, and this is also a plus.
For tourists going to Bali for the first time, you need to know an important feature of the Nusa Dua resort area. This is a closed resort area with a total check of all cars entering its territory. With mowed lawns, a golf course, sculptural compositions and walking paths. The construction of hotels of well-known international chains here was conceived by the President of Indonesia. The implementation of this idea led to the creation of a place very vaguely reminiscent of the rest of the island, and on excursion trips this contrast can even be shocking. In the same way, this is reflected in prices (for services and goods) that are often several times higher than prices, for example, in Kuta.
So if you decide to take your children with you, then of course Nusa Dua, clean beaches, tupaks (local squirrels), tame birds and greenery. Quality food. All this is important for such a journey.
If you are a young, yet childless couple who wants to learn both sides of the coin while also saving money or singles looking for adventure, then you are in Kuta))))
Best wishes for a good holiday. Sergei.
