I love everything about this hotel. The design is elegant, minimalistic, and timeless. The grounds are stunning; the pool view alone is worth a visit. The thing that really makes the Alila stand out, though, is the staff. The service is impeccable. Everyone goes out of the way to make sure you’re taken care of, but the thing that sets this hotel apart from other amazing hotels is that it comes from a place of genuine care. The people who work there seem to treat looking after others not as a job but as more of a calling. It’s extraordinary, really. I think it’s part of what makes you feel so relaxed while you’re there. At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, I’d say that staying at this hotel is positively soul filling. It’s one of my all-time faves.

Beautiful property, but uncomfortable mattress. Some areas are showing their age. Staff are excellent.

Idyllic resort, delightful staff, scrumptious food. Hard to leave the resort as it was so heavenly. An absolutely beautiful eight days. We have decided to return next year.

Amazing staff, amazing grounds and amenities, a fantasic place to relax or to use as a base for lots of activities. Only wish that there were ceiling fans, mosquito nets, or something so that we didn’t have to sleep with the AC.

Pretty view over the ocean. Nice traditional breakfasts. The cooking course is incredible!!!! Staff are lovely. The rooms are probably a little outdated.

I stayed superior room and suite. Superior room was adequate with spacious outdoor sitting area. Suite was a fantastic with sea view, huge balcony and big bathroom. Hotel ground, huge swimming pool, restaurant and bar were absolutely beautiful right by the sea. I was happy that my toddlere was able to run around. Hotel staff were calm kind, attentive and always smiling. It was one of the impressive resorts I stayed. Highly recommend

Absolutely gorgeous resort and friendly staff. Will definitely return and recommend to others.

The service is brilliant and there are lots of lovely extra touches. The (free) yoga and tai chi sessions were great, it was only my boyfriend and myself taking part both times. We watched a movie outdoors on our first night, had (free) tea and cake by the pool every afternoon. The food in the restaurant is superb; breakfast, lunch and dinner! We did the snorkelling excursion which was lovely and they had a picnic breakfast waiting for us on the boat when we got out of the water. Easily our favourite hotel ever. Can't wait to go back!

What we were looking for: Secluded, relaxing beachside resort for a young professional couple. Pros: Seaside location with lovely restaurant setting overlooking the ocean and fishpond; Spacious pool and ample deck chairs to relax bedside during the day; Attentive staff, who respond to and act on feedback; Palm tree studded grounds look great lit up at night; Plenty of restaurants in nearby Candidasa accessible by free shuttle that both the restaurants and hotel provide; Hotel arranged snorkeling trip was great. Cons: Dated-looking grounds and room fittings; 'Superior' (downstairs) and 'deluxe' (upstairs) rooms are essentially identical save for level; Neither room type has curtains, important for privacy given they all look out onto the pool (management tell me these are to be installed); Cold breakfast and lunch from the in-house restaurant - cold nachos, cold eggs, cold steak - unfortunately this happened again even after we spoke to staff; Construction noise beside the pool (ocean bar being built Oct 2017); In-house restaurant expensive by Australian standards; Expensive hotel washing service unable to remove usual stains or smells from clothes; No usable beach to enjoy. Overall: Not what we were looking for. Hard to recommend.

1. This hotel is / hours away in a rural area with little nearby activity 2. There is only one restaurant for breakfast and dinner 3. This is Ocean front and not beach front 4. Pricey for the status of the place 5. Rooms r small and bathroom needs work
