Introduction
Hello again! Around a year ago, I wrote a trip report that included reviews on several hotels in Bali (
read that here). Now, with the island reopened and accessible by international flights (and with quarantine being abolished as early as 14 March),* I thought it might be useful to write a report on a few hotels I have stayed at over the past week. I will not have any flight reports included since I am already based on the island.
We booked each of these hotels a day before our check-in date, for maximum flexibility on our side of things. Regardless, many hotel rates on the island are quite stagnant nowadays due to the still low occupancy rates. In fact, at one of the hotels, we were the only guest staying!
Tanah Gajah, Ubud (previously The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah) - One Bedroom Pool Villa
COMO Uma Ubud - Uma Villa
Alila Villas Uluwatu - One Bedroom Villa
Tandjung Sari, Sanur - Two Storey Bungalow
The Legian, Seminyak - One Bedroom Club Villa
Hope you will enjoy reading the following installments, and I hope these reviews can be useful should you plan a trip to the island any time soon.
Travel Requirements for Bali, Indonesia (as of 4 March)
*Quick reminder that currently (as of 4 March), entry for non-residents (Indonesian citizens and KITAS holders) requires a B211A visa valid for business and tourism. Arrivals from all countries are accepted. The Visa-on-Arrival scheme has not yet been reimplemented, but there have been talks for it to come back very
soon. Furthermore, fully vaccinated arrivals up to 14 March still require a 4-night quarantine (2-nights for those who have gotten 3 jabs). Quarantine can be taken at bubble-hotels, where guests are more-or-less free to roam the hotel grounds (
more info here). Travel requirements are still very prone to changes, so do remember to consult your local Indonesian Embassy and/or IATA Travel Centre for the most updated information
Additional Standalone Reviews
Additionally, below are some Bali hotel reviews I wrote over the past week from stays between the past several months. I had not intended to write a review for those hotels so some of them might be missing pictures of breakfast or hotel grounds/pools.
Maya Ubud (Heavenly Jacuzzi Villa)
Capella Ubud (Keliki Valley Tent)
Komaneka at Bisma, Ubud (Bisma Suite)
Mövenpick Jimbaran (Pool-view Classic Room)
The Kayana Villas, Seminyak (One Bedroom Villa)
Happy Travels!
