Over a ten year period I have stayed at the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel on a number of occasions and always find it a great place to relax and just "chill out". Normally I have time at Nusa Dua at either at the end or the beginning of a holiday and find that 3 or 4 days is enough. I always try to get a deluxe room on the ground floor overlooking the pool area as I find this the most convenient to everything and you can just walk off the front porch onto the lawn. The rooms are good, clean and functional. The food is great and service excellent - some of the waiters have been there since the hotel opened! The only negative we had was that our room wasn't ready so checkin was delayed which was a negative but I should have gone to the bar and not let it worry me. This time I took a massage session at the Spa - very professional, very relaxing, and excellent surroundings.

The Hotel itself has a great pool and bar area and the beach in front of the hotel is very nice with lots of sun beds. Good service from beach staff. There are some pleasant walks but if you are looking for shooping etc Nusa Dua is not the place. really you go there for the hotel and the hassle free beaches. At night it is an easy walk to eat or drink at one of the other 4 - 5 star hotels nearby.

We only had 2 days to go on our Bali holiday and after a week at another 5 star resort we decided to relocate finish our holiday at the Nusa Dua Beach Resort and Spa.

I phoned at 9am, was welcomed warmly as a returning quest and checked in at the Palace Wing by 10.30am.

I am so glad we did. Our previously ordinary holiday at the other resort melted away and we were able to relax and feel we had been on a good restful break.

Staff make the difference, they efficiently ensure you are able to relax and have the holiday you want. The rooms, grounds, pools and waterfront areas are magnificent too.

There is no need to leave the resort with all its resturants, but we did visit the local Bali Collection shopping centre for a look around and buy souveniers for the grandchildren.

My husband and I spent 3 nights here after 2 weeks stay in Malaysia as a second trimester pregnancy break.

Pros:- The friendliest staff we have ever seen. Always ready to help. Beautifully landscaped grounds and well kept. Truly balinese touch throughout the resort. Rooms are clean. Good cable tv programs included. Adaptors included. Safe and away peaceful, ideal for families.

Cons: Our room, deluxe room in garden wing, was very small. There was no bathtub and the shower pressure and temperature were not consistent. Food were highly overpriced and of low standard (especially after 2 weeks of Malaysian food). Breakfast variety was good but quality was only average.

Fortunately there is an hourly free shuttle to Bali Collection for some shopping and more reasonable food options. Expect similar standard but at half the price. Also, if your visit is during monsoon season, you might want to bring the complimentary umbrella in the room for your Bali collection visit. It is an open air walk from shop to shop. This is also a good place to stock up your bottled water.

This hotel has the perfect location if you are looking for the beach and probably in the safest place in Bali. I thought i knew what friendly staff was, but theese guys take it to the next level. The breakfast is excellent so is the hotell area. Are you planning to eat at the hotel you better bring a lot of money. The food is good but compared to what you can eat just a cab drive away is better and at a fraction of the price. Also why would they charge money for internett usage in the room when its the slowest connection I have ever experianced in a hotel? All in all, i would recommend it.
