Bali Tropic Resort & Spa

This hotel has authentic Balinese decor. Beautiful gardens which are really well maintained. Staff are super friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the unlimited drinking water which a lot of hotels don't do. Bali has an enormous rubbish issue so not having to buy drinking water reduces this. Breakfast was amazing, seperate chilled room for fruits and cold items. Great little supermarket just across the road that is patrolled with people to help you cross. Contains everything including lots of fresh tropical fruit. Good value also. Highly recommend.

We spent five nights in the newer +18 Club Room section. The room was a good size and had everything we needed, though our balcony looked over the carpark and road. The bath in the ensuite would’ve been great, but the plug seal was missing so it wouldn’t hold water. We tried the rooftop pool once—nice and quiet, but a bit tucked away. We much preferred being down by the beach or at the main pool. The gardens around the resort are gorgeous, and next time we’d probably book one of the traditional rooms closer to the beach with a garden outlook. The staff were absolutely lovely and always smiling. Food was great across the restaurants, and if you walk south along the beach path there are plenty of other great places to eat. The free shuttle to Bali Collection is handy, though we missed it both ways—taxis are cheap anyway at IDR 50k. Heaps of water activities available right on the beach if you’re into that. We barely left the resort for the whole five days and had a really relaxing stay. We’ll definitely be back next year.

This was my third visit to Bali Tropic, and I love the place so much. Great food, the staff remember you when you come back, and the rooms are immaculate. We hired a private snorkel trip out the front of the hotel, and the guys who took us out were so lovely. We also got two cultural dances in as well as a full moon dinner on the beach.

Location was close to what is required outside of the resort. We stayed in the adults section and had access to all the resorts restaurants and pools which where all fantastic. During our 6 night study our room was cleaned on a daily basis to perfection. Daily breakfast lunch and dinner was a buffet style which provided all types of foods. Great if you are into that on a daily basis. Overall the staff couldn't do enough for us and provided us with very memorable moments. Definitely will be back thanks to all.

We had a lovely 10-night stay at Bali Tropic, although I think our experience would have been quite different without a Club room. The Club rooftop was the highlight: infinity pool, swim-up bar, excellent service, breakfast available to pre-order and afternoon snacks. It also meant we could reliably get a lounger. This was important because there simply aren’t enough loungers around the main pool and particularly on the beach, with lots being reserved with towels. The resort itself is beautiful, with immaculate tropical grounds and a traditional Balinese feel. Our room was huge, comfortable and full of character, and I loved the large freestanding bath. The staff were fantastic throughout, genuinely warm, helpful and attentive, and everywhere was spotlessly clean. The location was a real plus for us. The hotel is at the quieter end of the Nusa Dua/Tanjung Benoa beachfront, so it feels peaceful without being isolated. There’s a lovely beachfront path stretching past the other resorts, which is brilliant for early morning walks or runs and watching the sunrise. At the front of the hotel there are shops and restaurants within walking distance, a supermarket almost opposite and a laundry that will even return your clothes to reception. Bluebird taxis are incredibly cheap and easy to use, so we ate out at lots of different places and found it a great base for exploring. The beach itself is attractive and peaceful, although the sea becomes extremely shallow at low tide, so it isn't ideal if you want to properly swim. The food was probably the weakest part for us. We stayed B&B rather than all-inclusive and generally found the à la carte food better than the buffet. As a vegan, I was particularly surprised by how limited the options were given how brilliantly Bali generally caters for plant-based diets. Even breakfast could be quite sparse. One slightly disappointing note came at the end of our stay. Having stayed for 10 nights with two rooms, we asked whether we could keep one room until 4pm rather than checking out at 12pm. They offered us until 1pm free of charge, but wanted $50 to extend it to 4pm. Of course hotels are entitled to charge for late checkout, but given the length and value of our stay, this felt a little excessive and unfortunately left a slightly bad taste at the end of an otherwise very enjoyable stay. Overall, we really enjoyed Bali Tropic. Exceptional staff, beautiful surroundings, spacious rooms and a fantastic location. I’d happily return, but I would definitely book a Club room again.
