Wow wow wow. That's how I always start talking about this place. We stayed at the Bale for 3 nights at the beginning of our honeymoon. The service was fantastic, the architecture and design of the whole resort was impressive. You felt like you were left alone to enjoy the place (we didn't leave until the last day to atleast... More

I was 1 week in The Bale and everything was great except the fact that is not on the beach and you have to go by car. But they have a private car that take us to the beach when we want and the room has private pool. The frangipani trees around the villas are beautiful and the service is... More

After a month of traveling throughout Australia and Bali, the final days of our trip were spent at the BALE. We would not of imagined a better setting for relaxation and reflection before departing to fly back to the US. The service was beyond exceptional, the spa was soothing and the food was delicious.

We stayed at the Bale in December 2011 on a short getaway from Perth, and our entire experience surpassed our expectations. We were greeted at the airport by a friendly driver with cold towels, airconditioning and delicious fresh fruit, which was a lovely welcome to the island of Bali. From check-in to check-out the staff could not have been more... More

We stayed in July 2011 for 5-6 nights. We spent quite a bit of time researching options for a hotel with a pool villa in Bali, and picked the Bale in the end because we believed it offered the best value package. We booked the Deluxe Pavilion, which gets you a larger villa/pool, as well as lunch, dinner or a... More

On the way back from 6 weeks in Europe we decided to break up the trip home and relax in Bali. My partner found us the most perfect place to finish an amazing holiday.

We really enjoyed our stay. All the privacy in the world, and yet the staff knew our names, and were very friendly. Loved the rooms, and enjoyed drinking mocktails by the pool. The food at the restaurant was world class, which inspired us to do the cooking class the hotel offers. We're very sad to leave this place and hope... More
