Dear Veritas-2146, Thank you very much for your critical negative review but I am rather disappointed to know that you compared us unfairly to other hotels which are totally different by region, price and style of service. If you only searched and read terrible and poor reviews of our resort from this forum, I am very confusing why you chose to stay with us. I believe you also consider our value for money price before you purchase online. I appreciate your personal judgement include your like and dislike but your review sounds placing you as a jury among hotels in the world. I found that you like very much Italian food , no wonder you prefer to have Italian rather than others. Surprisingly, you both came for our BBQ theme buffet dinner at our restaurant on the second night of your stay. The theme is BBQ, no Italian on the buffet. This message was clearly conveyed to you before sitting. However you did not want to know and still insist the Italian. As good willing, our restaurant manager made you the spaghetti and pizza, both were for free. It is pity you did not mention it. We also found that during your stay with us you did not ever share your critical comments with our service team including at breakfast whether you have special preferences or food intolerant. It is puzzled to understand if you criticize the food quality. Our buffet breakfast choices are designed by Duo chefs; The Belgian and The Indonesian to meet 250 hotel guests from around the world, The dishes are replaced daily particularly the specialties. I am sorry this was not up to your taste and preference. This season, our resort is fully occupied, we know that so many guests want to spend their time in our beautiful swimming pools and honestly we are running out of the sun loungers. As this point is on the trip advisor, I am sure you know before you purchased. Sorry if this ends to your disappointment. We do hope that this can explain the truth with respecting your personal opinion. We need your feedback in a way that we understand what are the faults. We hope you still consider to stay with us again in your upcoming visit to Bali. Perhaps to stay at our sister property in Sanur, so it is close to Trattoria Cucina. Sincerely Romy Anggara Resort Manager
