We booked to stay 4 nights at the Bale for some relaxation and to play a couple of days of golf. From the minute we arrived we were treated to the most attentive service. We were helped to download an app which allowed us to communicate with staff 24/7 and they were always so prompt. They recommended restaurants at our request and booked all transport for us. The Villa itself (Villa 33) was spacious and beautiful. It had a pool, outdoor day bed, coffee machine, gorgeous bath tub with tv, outdoor and indoor shower (we only used the outdoor shower in the garden), the bed was soooo comfortable. Large TV in the main room and stereo system, AND it was so peaceful, we didn't hear another soul, only birds and frogs. We ate at Faces Restaurant and also had two breakfasts there which were delicious, would totally recommend. Staff were so attentive. On day 2 we had a family emergency and had cut our stay short to fly home. Everyone was so helpful in cancelling all our bookings and making it as easy as possible for us. We will be definitely be returning to The Bale but next time for longer. I would definitely recommend this retreat to anyone wanting an adults only escape with 5 star service and accomodation.

Best holiday ever. It was so relaxing and all of our needs were met. The spa, which we used a lot, was superb. The ladies so friendly, attentive and excellent at their job. All members of the staff were friendly and helpful without exception. Our accommodation was so opulent, we felt like millionaires. Such a great private villa. The food was so good and we cant wait to return next year. Thank you.

Where do I start! First, let me start by saying the staff were amazing! Anything you need, just let them know; they are overly accommodating! This trip was a birthday trip for my other half so I booked the flower bath and had them bring a cake to our room. Not only did they make sure everything had gone smooth, they sung Happy Birthday as they delivered the cake. He was head over hills, lol!
The floating breakfast was also amazing! Decent food, too!
Next!!! The room is GORGEOUS!!!! The way you enter the room is flawless. Nevertheless, I felt like a king entering his palace as I walked in. The private pool was everything!
I just can’t get enough of this place. Let me just say, this is home! No one else can have my business.

I’ve stayed at the Bale a few times and the private villas and pool are a great concept but it’s getting very tired.
Last visit there were boards lifting in my suite (trip hazard), the internet didn’t work for half of my stay and for $600 per. night AUD that’s not acceptable.
The breakfast is lovely but room service is a classic case of the menu doesn’t match the product when a premium price is being charged.
Sadly the bigger chains look much better value for the price v quality.

Even before we arrived the resort was helping us organise our stay.
The staff certainly make this resort. They are clearly very proud and have every reason to be.
We stayed in a double pavilion with friends, we had a great space to spend time together and enough privacy for times in between. The private pool was huge.
The spa was excellent, the treatments were amazing. Do yourself a favour and book something, anything!
The use of the resort car for local trips is genius and made things very easy.
The restaurant was able to adapt to our dietary requirements and even went off menu for us.
Adults only meant peace and quiet.
Highly recommended.

Staff redefine hospitality from friendly to TALENTED. The housekeeping, front desk, kitchen and management were like nothing I've ever experienced before. We felt at home! The photos don't do this beautiful property justice. Easily one of the top properties in Bali, amazing value.

Amazing service and very helpful and friendly. Love the app and communicating via the app to arrange things! It’s amazing. However the condition of the result seems quite worn and needs some investment to bring it upto a standard to compare with other resorts we been to during our stay!

Wonderful accommodation, attentive staff so lovely and kind! Incredible food at the main restaurant, nasi goreng and the orange pancakes off the chart. Lovely to have the privacy and solitude amongst the bustle of Nusa Dua.

Excellent property to stay in a quieter part of Bali, but still 30min away from the airport.
Nice a friendly staff. Good food, Spa, Gum and lovely villas. We will definitely come back.

This place was hands down one of the best stays i have ever had. The Bale was incredibly luxurious and private. The service was impeccable with anything we ever needed they would be there instantaneously. The App with all your needs and services was very convenient and easy to use, more hotels need to look into this service as it was so easy to text our butler with anything ever needed. The private beach club was great. The service at the private beach club with the box with water, sunscreen, cooling gel and mister was a great touch and made it seem like the whole beach was just for us. The rooms and the private in villa pool is absolutely incredible. I will be recommending this all family and friends to stay and if back in Nusa dua, we will be staying here again!

It is a great place to stay. Lovely villa and especially the private pool. Staff are delightful and really look after you. The spa was the highlight for us...First class in every respect! Breakfasts in villa are great with plenty of choices. Other restaurants ok but plenty of choice nearby as well.

We spent the last four nights of our honeymoon at The Balé. We were welcomed by the general manager and got a welcome drink and a complimentary 15 minute massage. It was the perfect start of a great stay. Amazing property, beautiful and spacious villa, great service, wonderful food and drinks. Complimentary shuttle service to and from the beach, as well as all over Nusa Dua area, was very nice. The Tapa restaurant belonging to the hotel cooked up some mouthwatering tapas and the cocktails were out of this world. We would definitely come back. Thank you for your hospitality! With love, Mr. & Mrs.Myrland

Our room was fantastic! It was very private, comfortable, and spacious. The spa/dinner benefit was a great perk. The service was outstanding. The only downside is that the area isn’t walkable, but local transportation was provided by the Bale and they made it very convenient.

From the moment we checked in to our last minute at the Balé, it was all first class. Staff at restaurant (faces) are people we would now consider family as they treated us as such. Food and beverage led by Chef Nadi is superb in your pavilion or in the restaurant blew our minds of the flavors and presentation of true Balinese cooking, fresh and delicious. Our pavilion had all the amenities we could wish for and more. If you need anything just ask and the staff will accommodate so warmly. There are a lot of extras that we didn’t expect like how they refused to let us pay for taxis. They drove us anywhere we wanted that was close by and asked if we needed to stop anywhere along the way. The staff here gives you the true meaning of Balinese culture and hospitality. We took advantage of the spa (5*) and cooking tour & class (5*) by the executive chef.

The Bale is a bit too big in terms of its design and architecture for its own good - the public spaces feel more like civic spaces (like say within a public park) than a luxury hotel, and there is no sense of cosiness you'd normally get with a 5* boutique hotel with only about 30 rooms. I like minimal, but this is slightly spooky!
Our deluxe pavillion was very spacious, but facilities (tv, stereo system) were slightly dated. Numerous gekkos call out throughout the night, about 1 metre from your ear as you lie in bed - this could easily be irritating, but I love gekkos and it was a bit like a grandfather clock, chiming the time.
The food was very good - Tapa restaurant had good quality and variety for casual eats, and Faces was sophisticated and elegant. Choice, quality, price and quantity were all good.
We were on half board, and between breakfast & evening meal, we had no space for lunch! Our package also offered a free bar 6pm-8pm each day (which we didn't know when we booked, but which was a major plus - very wide choice of cocktails, spirits, beers and wines on offer, great!).
The spa treatments were very good, and sensibly priced. All in all, a great place to retreat to for a romantic getaway, if you don't expect much interaction with other guests and you can shake the feeling that everything is on too large a scale.
The town of Nusa Dua itself we found underwhelming and not worth the effort.

I did hesitate initially to travel alone over the Xmas/New Year Holidays, however the kind and caring staff at The Bale, made we feel safe and secure immediately. The kindness, hospitably and genuine desire to fulfil my every request was astonishing. The staff at The Bale made we feel as if I was living in my own home and not a hotel room.
In particular, Riska, Ras and Ari were brilliant and of course Andrea the General Manager showed outstanding levels of service. Thank you for making by week stay so enjoyable.
The 2 restaurants, The Face (more formal dining) and Tapa ( more casual bistro dining/bar) both offered a good balance between local Balinese, Thai and Western dishes. All were very tasty and well presented.
The Spa was great. Again excellent selection of treatments with highly skilled therapists.
I love beaches on holidays and although The Bale is not beach front, the clean, picturesque, quiet Geger Beach is a 10 minute walk from the resort. The Bale do offer a complimentary shuttle transfer should you not want to walk.
There is a private fenced off area on the beach for The Bale residents which was appreciated, however the staff attending to this area were rarely there to assist apart from the initial entrance to provide complimentary beach towels, sun screen, water, etc. The staff tended to disappear mostly after this initial meeting which was at times disappointing. The private area became less private when other non-guests took the opportunity to enter.

The entry area of the hotel is terrible and you won’t feel welcome. We thought we in the stuff entry. Villas are huge but with a bad moisture smell and quite run down already.

Disappointing hotel fantastic staff. Service was sensational. Rooms are old and not well maintained. Doors don't close properly and thus let all manner of insects into the room. Had to disinfect the room before sleeping every night. We did tell staff about our issues. They were extremely sympathetic and did whatever they could to address the changes. Management was also excellent in offering compensation.

It was a great little private gateway. Very quiet and highly recommended for Honeymooners. The only negative was on our last day, the manager convinced us to attend a Satay dinner with entertainment event at the hotel restaurant and we got food poisoning before our 15h flight back home. They probably undercooked the chicken satay or cross contaminated the meat. It made our last day of our honeymoon quite unpleasant.

Reception, restaurants, main and private swimming pools are great. The hotel staff is really great, very friendly and kind. Food is delicious!
I am not satisfied with willa/pavilon standard because is quite old, not too clean. TV is an old and has a fuzzy screen. Location is also poor.

André and his staff were so welcoming and helpful. Could not do enough to make your stay as stress-free and as luxurious as possible. The villa was amazing, food was delicious and as mentioned above, the service was impeccable.
Oh, and get a massage. Best we've ever had.
Would recommend to all couples who want a slice of luxury in a very calm and chilled setting.

Our stay at The Bale was perfection! Our villa and private pool was the epitome of simple elegance and luxury. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and peaceful, we were amazed at how quiet it is at The Bale even though it is so close to the main part of Nusa Dua.
We loved having fantastic massages at the spa - my husband got great relief for his injured shoulder and I just blissed out after a fabulous hot rocks experience.
The food at Faces restaurant and Tapas is first rate and the daily breakfast is truly something special. We were privileged to attend a special Sate Night which included an open air Sate BBQ along with a local Balinese entertainment of music and dancing. Guests were invited to join in and everyone had a great night.
I can also highly recommend a cooking class with the brilliant Chef Nadi, he is so knowledgeable and has a wicked sense of humour. The class includes a trip to Janbaran markets where Chef introduced us to the delights of shopping in the fresh food and seafood stalls - truly a highlight of our trip as we learned so much about how to choose ingredients for our Balinese feast.
Finally, I must mention the staff of The Bale whose genuine warmth and friendliness made our stay at The Bale so memorable- we were blown away by the generosity of their hospitality.
Do yourself a favour and make a booking.

Great relaxing break, service best in Asia. There is no view from the accommodation and we didnt venture to the beach as we only stayed 3 nights. Was perfect for a real relaxation with 5+ star service.
