Stuff You Should Know

Like that silvered-hair lady in a Mercedes, she's showing a few wrinkles but maintains her class. The 1992 rooms could use a facelift, though they're aging more gracefully than most of us. Oil tankers occasionally photobomb your ocean vista. Not super kid-friendly… feels more adult.

The Italian restaurant's lighting is bright enough to perform surgery, but the food makes up for the interrogation-room ambiance. The resort’s beach club offers watersports like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. Each suite has a private terrace, many with ocean views. Keep in mind that the area lacks nearby dining and nightlife options, so you’ll primarily stay on-site. This place is hilly, with many stairs.

Food and drink

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Where calories don't count (but the views do)

Two restaurants that take themselves seriously enough to deliver excellence, not so seriously they forget you're on vacation. The main venue juggles Western and Balinese cuisine with an 8.5/10 flourish, while the Italian option serves la dolce vita under somewhat criminal lighting. Afternoon tea is less "proper English" and more "proper fabulous," especially when served poolside in your private sala. The bar mixes views with vintages, though honestly, you could drink tap water here and feel sophisticated. Pro tip: surrender to the room service at least once – because sometimes paradise is breakfast in your robe while watching cargo ships drift by.
