This is a wonderful, family-friendly hotel and resort. My husband and I traveled from New York with our three children (ages 9, 6, and 3) and stayed in the Novotel Bali Nusa Dua for 9 days. We all had a fantastic and enjoyable visit. The hotel is an older but well maintained establishment with beautiful greeneries and mature tropical flowers and trees with the most vibrant and lively colors. We loved that the hotel had a private beach nearby (about a 3 min shuttle ride from the hotel, towels provided, food available to purchase). The hotel pools were nice for kids and grown ups. The main restaurant had a wide variety of Western and local food selections. There was also a wonderful cafe (Pause Cafe) that sold really fresh croissants and good latte. My mother in law joined us and so we stayed in a three bedroom apartment with a small kitchen, a fridge, and basic housekeeping items. Overall, we rated the staff excellent; they were friendly, respectful, and helpful. Our children spent sometimes at the Kids Club. The place was small, but with wonderful staff who were attentive, funny, and kind; our kids loved going there and participated in organized activities. We loved the Balinese hospitality! My husband and I also booked 90 min traditional massages at the hotel spa (wonderful, must try!).
Some constructive suggestions to the hotel: 1. A microwave would be very helpful for families who stay in apartments. Currently, a microwave can be rented (small fee, but I think should be provided for free); 2. Parents are very appreciative of the Kids Club, the activities, and the option to hire babysitters during the stay, please consider space expansion/addition for this facility. It is fine for infants and younger children, but older children would need more space; 3. Please continue to maintain this beautiful place! Some parts of the flooring, for example, could use improvement to maintain the contemporary looks.
Overall, what a great place for our family. We will come back here next year. Thank you Novotel Bali Nusa Dua for helping our family create such wonderful memories.
