Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort

I stayed at Sofitel Nusa Dua to celebrate my birthday and it didnt disappoint. I arrived at 5pm and afer confirming my name, I was escorted to the lounge - Le Club Milesime - given that I am a Platinum Accor member. The check in was smooth and I was upgraded to a room superior to the one I had booked, however, given that I wanted to have a seaview, I asked to change to the room I had booked. I got a king bed and a room with a balcony and a view to the sea (the view is not so close but is good enough). With access to the lounge comes the access to breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails. I was late for the afternoon tea but had the cocktail which was ok (not worth paying for). The wine selection is non existent, only white, rose, red and sparkling but all the same brand, there are several cocktails but I didnt try any as I am not a cocktail drinker. The food was also very limited but good to take instead of dinner, for one that doesnt have heavy dinners. Breakfast was good, again very limited selection but with a small a la carte menu for some mains. The gym was very nice and barely anyone there. I didnt use the pool facilities, but there are pretty cool and remember enjoying it last time I was there. Given that it was my birthday, the hotel offered me a small cake which was very thoughtful! However, they only brought it on my last night after 6pm, which was a pity because I wasnt able to enjoy it. I had eaten enough for the night and I had an early flight. I was very unfortunate that I had to leave the cake uneaten. Overall, it an excellent hotel for a good weekend or vacation in a quiet area of Bali. I would recommend the hotel for families as well as for couples.

Great resort if you want to rest & relax and enjoy quality family time. There are multiple pools to offer variety. Multiple restaurants & bars too. The beach is calm and beautiful too. We got 2 interconnecting rooms for us and our 2 teens which worked perfectly. Service was overall great and food quality was fantastic too. My only criticism is regarding the departure lounge. The staff were unfriendly. The lounge was not air conditioned and the water bottles on offer were warm... not nice in 32degree heat.
