“The best in Bali!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012
6
people found this review helpful

My wife and I have travelled to Bali once a year for the past 5 years and love it. We especially like to stay in the Seminyak area, away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta and Legian. The first time we visited Bali we dined at the restaurant "Breeze at The Samaya" and ended up dining there another 2 times during our first stay. It was absolutely fantastic, the service is the best we have received anywhere in the world and the food was to die for. The setting is amazing sitting on the lawn watching the sunset, we have never been able to fault it.

The next year we decided to actually stay at The Samaya and have now stayed there every year since. Staying at this hotel is like being in heaven, what a real holiday is all about. You don't have to worry about anything, the service is outstanding, the rooms are luxurious and always spotless, the beds are ultra comfortable and the location right next the beach...well you can't beat it. We look forward to returning later this year once they have finished their renovations. You don't need to think twice about booking here just do it, I promise you won't be disappointed.

This was the last hotel we stayed in on tour in Bali. Save the best for last. What a wonderful hotel. The beachfront cottages were stil under construction so we stayed at a 1 bedroom garden pool villa: pure bliss. A golfcart brought us to the beach where we were pampered all day long. The villa itself is unbelievable, very private with an amazing bathroom. Everything was very clean. At night we had dinner at the restaurant: the Breeze; also a great evening to end our perfect holiday. The staff was amazing. Our flight was at night so when we had to check out at noon we could stay on the beach beds all day and could shower at the Spa just before the free hotel shuttle brought us back to the airport. This is definately not the cheapest of choices in Seminyak, however if you have the money spend it here. If you are on honeymoon or want to experience perfection; stay here at least for a couple of nights. We will definately return to experience the new beach front cottages........

“Superb hotel”

Privacy, luxury, gourmet dining, direct beach access and location, location, location.........This was my third trip to Bali and the best! I spent 10 days at the Samaya. The villas are excellent with total privacy and plunge pools. The perfect location to wander the beach, walk into Seminyak or sit and watch the sun go down. Service is first class.

“We just love The Samaya !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

returning to a resort you loved can sometimes disappoint. But certainly not The Samaya. having had such a perfect holiday there last January we returned this year. And if anything the standards and service of The Samaya is even better. We had a Royal Courtyard Villa. In a completely private setting you have a villa you could live in forever, accompanied by a superbly landscaped garden ,pool and day bed area.Have your complimentary high tea there. Just superb.We also had breakfast there, the butlers set everything up so beautifully.You feel very special.All the staff are amazing. They are so proud of their resort, so keen to please and so appreciative of your visit it makes every request so easy.There are fabulous reataurants in the area, Sardine, Metiz, Sarong, Mamasan and more. Your butler or driver takes youthere, and will pick you up when you are finished.You are made to feel so honoured, it's marvelous. And never a hand out for a tip. So you know they are genuine.
All the staff are aware of the high rating of The Samaya on Trip Advisor and their pride is palpable. A special formula of beautiful Balinese people, very well trained and by nature very hospitable
Breakfasts were normally by the ocean, with everything cooked freshly to your exact requirements.Just as we like it.The beachfront villas are being completely rebuilt and I am told they will be amazing. So maybe next year we will spend half our time in a courtyrad villa, and half in the new beach ones, opening in June I think. Whatever, we will be back.

“Perfect Honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

We ended our Honeymoon at The Samaya Bali and had very high expectations since the room we had was $700/night. Everything blew our minds!

The villa was huge, modern, and well decorated. It had it's own pool and tons of privacy.

The service was phenomenal. The staff knew our names at breakfast and always went above and beyond what was needed.

The hotel had tea time once a day either by the pool or in the villa which had freshly baked goods and tea or coffee.

The location was great. Right on the beach and in walking distance of the central town.

We asked to extend our checkout time since our flight was at 10pm, and usually hotels will extend to around 1 or 2. We were extended to 8pm for free.

Will be coming back here in the future!
