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. In all our hotels on this trip i must say the service and attention to detail under the great guidance of the GM was faultless. I... More

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

I booked the Balé as it was one of the few hotels in Bali that would take a booking for less than four nights over New Year and conveniently located (well it was in 2004) for the airport. The service was as impeccable as ever and despite the building work across the road the hotel is really tranquil. Our deluxe... More
