It really a well maintained property to consider it is open for the last 46 years.

I know this is out of their control but the beach is not clean. Oberoi is doing its best to clean the beach. There is 1 guy who used fish net to get all the trash from the beach.

This is our second time at the Oberoi as our first experience was so beautiful, calming and most enjoyable. Like most nice things you pay for it but there is something about this understated private resort in the heart of Seminyak. You immediately feel you're in Bali with its traditional thatched bure style accommodation, beach sunsets by the pool, rare to come by expansive tropical garden setting (with playful little squirrels), and warm attentive service, you instantly find your zen. The pool is preciously the right temperature, the small complimentary refreshing poolside treats come just at the right time and we discovered on Fridays they do a rotisserie lunch by the pool....the chicken on this occasion was yum! Big thank you for late checkout and transfer service to airport. And for the surprise little birthday cake for my husband's 60th on arrival, nice touch team Oberoi.

My husband will always say TV channel options and internet not enough for him. I'm happy to tune out with my book by the pool. Not sure the food and coffee hit the mark, I think they try to be everything and it doesn't quite deliver, little bit average or maybe too clinical, too restrained? for the quality of property, it just missed something for us. We tried the gorgeous dining settings once and then went out to get our fix (apart from the rotisserie chicken by the pool, that was delicious!) We were also lucky enough to be invited to welcome drinks by GM, lovely touch, GM was away OK but no exec staff even said hello???

The staff is so accommodating, and it felt as though they genuinely wanted all the guests to have an amazing experience. Amazed that they organized the charging wires for all my devices on my nightstand after I left them in a mess (coiled and Velcro strapped together). I’ve never felt so pampered. The grounds were beautiful and not crowded, pool amazing right on the beach.

The beaches in the area were strewn with trash and debris, not the fault of the resort but rather the lack of waste removal by the government. The beach area at the resort itself was kept immaculate by staff so there’s at least a couple hundred feet of clean beach.

Location and beautiful grounds

Not enough selection of food, swimming pool only limited one and looks old. None of the furniture in the units are updated look very outdated.

The staff were all incredible. Everyone - from the drivers to the waiters to the gardeners - would greet you with a smile and fulfill your every wish. The food was delectable (we hear there is a new Italian chef in charge…the perfectly al dente paccheri were a give away to be honest), the cleanliness was off the charts, and the gardens & pool area were both BEAUTIFUL and extremely well maintained. We couldn’t have been more grateful to have picked the Oberoi for our stay.

Everything was exquisite, but if we had to nitpick it would be that the shower head was quite low (not great if you’re ~6ft+, and the shower gel/shampoo bottles were inconveniently small and tightly packed into the stand area so that you couldn’t grab it easily. Other than that it was faultless!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Oberoi, and it exceeded my expectations. The location is fantastic, providing easy access to the vibrant life of Seminyak while still offering a peaceful resort setting. The service was exceptional—the staff went above and beyond. Their friendliness truly made a difference, creating a welcoming atmosphere that felt like home. The food was great but there’s also plenty of fantastic restaurants close by. This hotel is the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to unwind amidst the hustle and bustle of the area. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a memorable stay in Seminyak!

Nothing.

If you want to experience the essence of Bali, before it was a major tourist hotspot, The Oberoi is the place to go. The grounds are expansive, well-manicured and tranquil, you can't hear any of the hustle and bustle from the street, yet you are amongst one of the best areas to stay for shopping, eating and entertainment. The staff are wonderful and truly understand the meaning of hospitality. They are attentive and accommodating, anticipate your needs and contribute to a luxury stay. The resort offers all the extras you would expect from a 5-star rating. Although the resort is older compared to others in the area, it has been maintained to the highest level. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the resort offers a relaxing and uncluttered experience. There is so much space you tend to wonder where everyone else is. I have visited Bali over 10 times and stayed all over the island in many different hotels and resorts. The Oberoi is now my favourite and I would recommend this to those looking to find relaxation, tranquillity, and luxury. 10/10

The only thing that could have been better for us would have been cancelling our other hotel bookings and staying longer at The Oberoi.

Excellent resort / retreat style right on the beach. Staff are lovely and helpful. The place is very relaxing and like staying in a small village rather than a hotel. The craftsmanship in the stone work and buildings is excellent. We felt like we stayed in a resort outside. Very well done by the Oberoi.

The area around is very busy and somewhat unkept. It would be good to see the local ministry help to un congest it from traffic and clean up the water ways that go into the sea.

This is not your typical hotel property. Our room was sequestered away from the hustle of the city, but everything that you could want was just outside of the perimeter. The old world feel added to the charm. The volcanic rock that it was made from along with the thatched rooftops suggested that you had somehow gone back in time. There was lots of outside space that kept you from ever feeling like you were part of a large crowd. The service was top notch as well. Most of the staff remembered our names. Rooms were serviced several times a day. The pool staff set up all of your chairs and brought snacks and water all day. (There were no extra charges or tips for these services)

...

Idyllic location, well set out. Nice Lanai rooms. Very comfortable overall. Great food! Nice small touches like complimentary fruit skewers and sunglass cleaning service! Staff were particularly attentive.

Towel mix ups in the room was a bit much. Seemed to change my towels twice a day as a result. Too much tidying for me in the room as well. Also, look into your water bottles, as had difficulties opening quite a few of them (a small point I know, but did result in a small injury as well!)
