Some family members had told me the resort had aged badly and that it needed an urgent update, the update is probably necessary but it is the F&B that needs an urgent upgrade. For the rates of the villas and the prices of the restaurants the cuisine should be to die for and it’s not the case. Not from breakfast to dinner. I can tell you that the crispy bacon is perfect but the apparently ample breakfast buffet is dull and the quality of the produce (with the exception of the fruit and juices) is barley 6/10 and at a 7 star beach resort rate….
The service on the other hand is fabulous, flawless and warm and welcoming. The WhatsApp communication with the hotel is absolutely perfect.
We had a very special villa the 2 bedroom 2 bathroom villa with small kitchen. Ok the fixtures in the bathroom are not premium, the indoor shower has the wall in waterproof paint like a road Motel 6 or a 3.5 star Four Points by Sheraton…. Not acceptable …. Not at the HUGE rate we paid.
But the tropical hardwood floors, the size of the rooms and the sheer perfection of the infinity pool over the bay and dominating the airport… was absolutely unique.
I. Any case the most important wealth of this magical island is without the slightest doubt… IT’S PEOPLE. There is nowhere on Eart a warm and welcoming as Bali.

All of the Four Seasons we have visited are excellent. But the device and attention to detail here were next level. Our room with a plunge pool and view of Jimbaran bay was excellent We ate at three restaurants and for the first time Id say the dinner buffet was best. French pastry chef who made magnificent deserts. Fresh fish Balinese style, Tuna sashimi was melti in your mouth. We enjoyed a complimentary cocktail reception where we met other guests and F&B Manager Michel and GM Nicolas. Interesting to hear about running a large resort. It is along way from home but we would go back to enjoy all the resort has to offer.
