Melia Bali

We visited the Melia as our first family holiday with our baby daughter. It really is the perfect place for families! Not only is it a short (practically traffic free) 15 mins from the airport, it is right at the beach! When we stayed, we opted for a suite, which has the bedroom upstairs and the living area and balcony downstairs. It was perfect for putting our baby to sleep at night, (cot provided) and meant we could relax downstairs, while she slept. The rooms are a little dated and could do with a refresh, but they provide everything we need and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We also opted to do The Level - (we weren't all inclusive, just B&B). This is well worth the additional cost. You have a seperate area to have breakfast (bfast is delicious!) and breakfast is served to you instead of having to queue at the buffet. (You can do the buffet too - recommend the almond pan au chocolate! It also gives you access to afternoon tea 3-5pm and then drinks between 5-7pm where a piano is played in the background, so beautiful! The grounds are large and are just stunning. The swimming pool is lovely, as is the spa, where I got the best foot massage outside, while listening to the birds and the ocean - just bliss! You can easily access the beach where we toasted marshmallows in the evening at 6pm and dined in the lovely restaurant too! We also took a walk along to the other hotels for dinner one night and its so easy to get to and a pleasant walk! We will definitely come back when our baby is bigger and make use of the wonderful kids club - it looks so mch fun with the outdoor cinema for them! The staff are all happy and friendly and we had lovely service from everyone. We highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

My husband and I (from NYC) spent five nights at the Melia Balia and could not have more thrilled. The pictures do not do the resort justice as it's incredibly clean and unique. We've stayed at 4-5 other all inclusive restaurants and there is no comparison between the Melia Bali and the others. At the top of the list is the service and the kind and special people. Special mention to Pringga and Resti at the LEVEL Pool/Beach were two of the best service people we've ever met. They were genuinely kind, helpful and incredibly good at their jobs. In addition to being attentive all day, they cleaned out sunglasses, provided cold coconut water and other treats. The resort is very lucky to have them and we'll miss them. Darma, Arta, Oka and Juli were also fantastic! Highly recommend THE LEVEL for adults as the separate pool and beach is worth it - very quiet and the photos don't do it justice. I particularly loved that it was so close to the airport and had a lovely walking path to get some nice exercise in. The SPA was beautiful and all the restaurants had great service and decent food. They had lovely music at night but it does not have a big night life. If you're looking for a party resort, this isn't it. The drinks were flowing but it's quite at night which worked for us. And there are folks on the beach selling things but they were fine if you weren't interested.

Again our second visit here and experience was even better then last trip. Food is fantastic but staff (special mention Sutarja, Febri &Agus) but all are so terrific !We didn’t even use service button cause of quality of staff. Can’t wait to visit again
