I had booked months in advance thru the web after having read good reviews from trip advisor. I had booked for approx. 10 days. When we arrived we got an excellent room in the new section on the quite side. Unfortunately the pool was under construction and there was a lot of noise and the sight looked a little ugly. One could not relax on the pool with the noise from the machines. I complained and said that it was not fair that they had not warned me when I booked for such a long stay ahead of time, so we only stayed here from 8 to 12th feb. 2011 and moved next door to RAMADA RESORT BINTANG BALI where we stayed 11 days

We have been to Bali quite a few times and always try out different hotels. I found Bali Dynasty to be the best so far. One of the main reasons we enjoyed it so much was that we had a pool view room which opened out directly onto the pool area which was just fantastic for our 10 and 13 year olds. The room was very comfortable with lots of storage for a longer stay and the kids had bunks with a trundle. The little things like the clothes line over the bath tub were appreciated. The room was cleaned very well and didn't have that "musty" smell you can sometimes get in Bali. There appeared to be a lot of Aussie families staying there and it was quite busy at times around the pool. There were a lot of organised activities you could take part in like water bombing competitions and bingo around the pool. Kids loved the water slide. I thought the hotel was in a great location to just be able to walk out into restaurants and shops and Centro (department store) and Water Bomb Park are really close. The beach is located right at the back of the hotel so you can just walk out onto it. The only negative I could say were that I was disappointed breakfast was not included as it is in most other hotels in Bali. The food we had at the hotel was quite good and they had lots of theme nights with different things like roast night, satay night etc. but there are also so many restaurants in close walking distance as well. Staff were very friendly and efficient. All in all, a very happy stay at Dynasty. We would definately return.

Generally the hotel was good but after specifying we selected the hotel due to the kids facilities, disappointingly the kids pool and water slide was shut down for maintenance during our visit. Rooms are OK (but for some reason, even with the air conditioner running, everything is incredibly damp) and the restaurants we tried were not bad.

We have stayed at Bali Dynasty four times and it truly is a fabulous hotel for all those holiday makers out there who are very social. The staff are very friendly, they make our family feel very special. Nothing is too much trouble. There is no "perfect" hotel in this world but what I love and appreciate about Bali Dynasty is that they try to continually improve. Whilst there are areas where one can escape or "no kids zone" areas, the hotel overall is for families and has gained popularity by focusing on making families feel very welcome and ensuring there are many fun activities to choose from. Very few hotels in Bali offer affordable family accommodation including daily breakfast. This is a special hotel.
