Lovely tranquil location,traditional style blocks of rooms surrounding pool and gardens going down to the sea.sma Bar &spa sea facing with sound of the soothing waves .

Unfortunately during my stay Govt started construction of new sea breakwater involving noisy digger and many trucks full of rocks working everyday from 8am-6pm but hopefully this job will move along the coastline leaving Alila at peace once again in

My daughter and I stayed at this hotel for 8 nights. All the staff were friendly and attentive and we felt like family by the end of our stay. The food was lovely and room service excellent. We loved the complimentary yoga and tai chi and enjoyed a number of spa treats. The staff were clearly proud of their culture and keen for us to share the experience through responsible tourism. We received help and guidance with excursion planning and enjoyed a great day out with one of the hotel drivers who was pleased to answer our many questions & to stop for photos. A free shuttle service was provided to 2 local towns but we enjoyed the quiet and relaxation of the hotel - garden/pool/ocean bar with view/yoga space. This is a great hotel to chill and relax at a slower pace whilst enjoying the real Bali away from the crowds.

We stayed for three nights. This magnificent hotel is a little lost, as on one side its beach has been swept away leaving a rough volcanic stone beach and on the other it just manages to escape the only and very busy road running down this cost, so you do need some extracurricular activity (the hotel offers countless tours and we had a car, so no problem for us) 0ther than that, the grounds are immaculate, the rooms are pleasant, the restaurant gave us the best food we’ve eaten in the 10 days we were in Bali, the room service was incredible (they clean your room while your have breakfast, and things ordered from the reception arrived within a minute or two, every time). We also check out the neighbouring hotels in the area and we thought we’d done best. Highly recommend

Nothing worth mentioning

I stayed at Alila on the east coast to avoid crowds. The hotel has a first-class environment, with free afternoon tea and shuttle buses every day. The restaurant has a great environment and taste. The scenery is fantastic, with zero distance to the beach. You can choose paid seaside yoga and massage, which will make you very relaxed. Staff member Budi was enthusiastic and thoughtful. After learning that my husband was sick, he took the initiative to care and offered coconut water, saying it was good for the digestive system. The only drawback is that the water in the swimming pool is not clean enough; Even if we live on the second floor, the sheets will still be damp and we need to use a hair dryer to blow them off before going to bed every day.

The rooms are a bit tiny, but very comfy. This hotel only has 55 rooms, which make it really "quite" even during the high-season. The locations helps as well, far away from the crowded places in Bali. We only used our front door once we checked in and once we checked out. Through the back door the garden and pool were only a few steps away. I traveled here with my 5 year old son, yes there isn't a kids club. But with an amazing pool, a small badminton field, and really nice grass to play soccer you don't need more to entertain a kid. What I liked was the a la carte breakfast concept, so no queuing or whatever once you've breakfast. Amazing place, will come back for sure!

That I couldn't stay here for 364 more days ;)

The views of ocean, walking the beach, my friend had ocean front massage and facial which she loved. Our dinner was phenomenal we both had mahi mahi but different ways. I had it Balinese curry and probably my favorite meal in Bali. Dessert was a perfect ending to dinner. Breakfast was really good too.

I didn't experience this but my friend staying in room said bed was a little hard and uncomfortable.

The lack of activities onsite was great as it allowed us to chill and enjoy the beauty of the property without feeling like we should be doing something. The breakfast concept of order-as-you-please is to be applauded, as it prevents food waste and the selection and portions were of great value. Well done!

Nothing to complain abt Alila itself, but Candidasa really lacks good eateries. Alila’s restaurant was by far the best, thanks for being there! We enjoyed every meal - the roast chicken and mash was our fav!!

It felt like walking into paradise. The peacefulness of the ocean sounds, the light breeze to cool you down, the amazingly well kept grounds, getting a heavenly experience at the spa with the waves in the background, walking through the coconut grove barefoot, the flawless service and kindness of the staff.

In my opinion the food wasn’t amazing, the selection was limited and it didn’t deliver in the flavor department.

This is heaven. The best grounds, pool, staff, location. Restaurant is great. Everyone (and I mean everyone from security guard to housemaid to Manager ) made us feel so welcome. Nothing too much trouble. Don’t miss the spa… beautiful treatments. I’d had a fall and hurt my ankle before arriving here and anything I needed (from medication to local healer to ice to concerned inquiries) was organised with great attentiveness. And did I say this place is divinely beautiful - not too big, not pretentious but leaves you feeling like a million dollars. We’ll be back asap.

Loved the complimentary afternoon tea by the sea - nice for guests to gather. The cakes could be a little more special though…. That’s the only thing!

Location is superb, resort view is outstanding. There is no proper beach but you can still walk while it's low tide time. Staff is super helpful. Definitely recommend for couples and families if there want to spend time in resort only. Complementary photoshoot is pretty good too. Food is great but very little options. There is free shuttle to candidasa. Its so photogenic resort. Highly recommend for couple if you spend some quality time at resort.

Food options are very little specially if you are Indian. I suggest more activities around the resort like archery, kite flying, open movies for kids etc. . As there is not much to do outside the resort. Wifi connection is very bad, you just can't do anything. And paid resort activities are bit expensive I guess.
