We came upon InBalance resort after we had a change of lodging plans in the middle of our trip. I cannot say enough great things about this boutique resort. The beach just steps away from your front door, the fabulous pool, the friendly and welcoming staff. Everything was just perfect, Paul went out of his way to ensure we had everything we could have possibly needed. The restaurant serve great food drinks. The bed was very comfortable in the room. Well appointed our only regret was we only stay two nights. If you’re looking for lodging in North Pole, look no further, this is where you wanna stay.

Nothing at all

Well maintained and pleasantly aesthetic. The staff were super helpful arranging tours and looking after our other needs. I’d certainly recommend a stay if you’re looking for a quiet getaway for a few days.

We booked a villa with a pool and ocean view, but in reality, only one villa has an ocean and pool view and that was already occupied. From villa 4 where we were staying, you have a view of the garden and not much else. A small thing but definitely false adverting and worth confirming before you book.

After a pleasant reception by the resort chef himself, we were shown the beautiful room. We felt comfortable all around. The service was courteous and not intrusive. We could see the sea from the bed, a few steps to the clean pool or in the evening to the sunset. The grounds are green and well kept, the bathroom is great and the little pug of the house made my heart melt. We recommend the accommodation. After all the hustle and bustle in Ubud just the right thing to relax. We also booked a trip to the Aling Aling water park and a dolphin tour through the accommodation. Both were great experiences. Thank you Paul for the little pearl in the north of Bali!

The location of the resort is a bit remote, so you have to rely on a Taxi.

Beautiful facilities, especially the outdoor bathroom. Friendly staff who looked after our every need with minimal fuss. We were able to request particular dishes for our evening meals. As it only caters for a small number of guests we had the place to ourselves most of the time. Felt more like a villa stay.

Beach front was unfortunately littered and did not feel like somewhere to relax or swim. Swim up bar was not staffed.

Everything was fantastic, In house dinning was very good, Paul and his staff were nothing but friendly efficient and happy to please, Paul was a great host, arranging massages on the beach, giving us a tour of the town and its sights, he organised a dolphin tour with Pascal and gave us tips and recommendations for restaurants in the area even making the bookings for us, He even went out of his way and set up a projector outside by the pool 1 night so we could still watch the AFL. Location was very quiet & picturesque and whilst a little out of town transport was never a problem. Paul was happy to drive and a couple of restaurants even had a free shuttle service for dinner. Snobby the dog also did his best to make us all feel at home.

Nothing

Nice view of the ocean, it was very special being that close to the beach, you could hear the ocean in the room. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom stylish. The owner was nice and provided some good recommendations for a restaurants.

It’s a bit far from Lovina center (about 15min drive with motorbike) and the beach is not for swimming or any activity for that matter. Instead of compensating for the location by offering high quality food and services for an attractive price, there seems a high margin on everything. Like the food- which was not great: one time we ordered pasta bolognese for our kids and we received plain pasta with chili sauce on it. Breakfast was so-so for that price (better go to buda bakery in lovina center instead) to taxi arrangements, massage and sightseeing. We found ourselves going for each of these on a motorbike back and forth to Lovina, so next time we’ll go just there.

Amazing place. Beds and rooms spotlessly clean and comfortable. Outdoor bathroom is awesome - private and has a tropical feel to it. Every detail of the resort has been carefully thought about. Photos undersell the place - it’s lovely. Restaurant great value and outstanding quality food. Paul was a superb host, even helped us out when our kids got sick with a run to the hospital. Very much enjoyed our stay and we will be back!!

Very modern and cosy place to stay, beachfront with very beautiful sunrise, very welcoming and charming host Paul, very international talkative (interacting with all guests and sharing his very interesting life expierence) and eager to help with anything you want (lifting, renting scooter and ordering massage from village nearby) We felt like staying at Friends. Staff very sweet, greatful and willingly helping with everything. Rooms are very clean and beautiful (especially outside bathroom). 10/10. Sweet in-house living dog Snobby! Food great mix wity local and international dishes.

Wonderful small resort with only 6 rooms! Very accommodating host with great options for events (e.g. private dolphin boat tour) at very affordable prices. I would highly recommend anyone to spend a few nights at Paul's InBalance Resort.

Wifi was struggling quite a bit especially during typical busy hours (morning, early evening)

The property was even better than the photos! Paul the owner could not do enough for us, he went out of his way to organising us a tour and providing everything we asked for and more. All staff and facilities exceeded every expectation. We could not rate this high enough. Thank you Paul, Snobby the dog and your wonderful staff for a wonderful experience!

Beach front location. Beautifully manicured garden. Restaurant on-site. Beautiful rooms. What was there not to like?
