Grand Balisani Suites ★★★

The hotel captivates with its enchanting Balinese architecture, enhancing the allure of its proximity to both the beach and an inviting swimming pool. The staff's exceptional friendliness and a diverse array of dining options contribute to the hotel's appeal. Well situated, it strikes a delicate balance between being conveniently close to key attractions and sufficiently secluded to serve as a tranquil retreat. Moreover, a leisurely walk along the beach leads directly to one of Bali's premier beach clubs, adding to the hotel's charm as a gateway to the island's vibrant night life and beach culture.

The hotel presents an opportunity for enhancement. The rooms' wooden elements, including doors and sunshades, would benefit greatly from meticulous maintenance to address issues like imperfect locking mechanisms and general wear. Additionally, addressing the bathroom faucet liking and flush systems to ensure their optimal performance would elevate the overall guest experience. The breakfast selection offers room for improvement by diversifying its protein options beyond the traditional offerings of cheese, eggs, and sausages. Given Indonesia's rich culinary heritage, incorporating a variety of local meat dishes, such as chicken, lamb, or beef, could significantly enrich the morning dining experience, offering guests a taste of the country's diverse flavors. Furthermore, there is a valuable opportunity for the hotel to collaborate with local beach caretakers to enhance the cleanliness and appeal of the nearby beach area. Establishing a sponsored section of the beach, equipped with shades and beds, would not only contribute to the cleanliness of the surroundings but also provide guests with a more comfortable and enjoyable beach experience, reflecting the hotel's commitment to both its guests and the environment.

Pool was great with swim up bar and lots of available sun beds. Closeness to beach and the beach bars. Spa good value . Liked the satellite channels and kettle and fridge in the room Nice balcony overlooking koi and fountain -room 206 . Nice large king bed and large room. Shower good pressure Bottled water every day Breakfast fair choice

Occasional toilet flushing problem but remedied by flushing with hand held toilet hose Would prefer some chicken or meat curry at breakfast Another gate on the beach would be better for easier access to beach bars Possibly remove the concrete turtle as awkward for walking round the pool Elderly should ask for ground floor room as no elevators

The Ocean view and beach access

They should have more Indian food option including veg items since lot of Indians also visit this hotel

Location

Nice pool, next to beach, spacious comfortable rooms cleaned everyday. Good shower. Lots of life surrounding rooms, millions of fish, monitor lizards, skinks.

Some of the facilities are a but worn, there are many tripping hazards due to disrepair. The breakfast options were extremely limited, I ended up not eating it most days.

We had the private pool villa. It was magnificent. Close to everything and view of the ocean. The rooms and the resort are a little old and in need of a bit of an update but if there was an issue it was attended to immediately.

Location was a bit far away from the main part of Seminyak.

Pool, pool bar, beach view and sound of the waves, breakfast buffet, several lunch cafes along the waterfront close by. Sunset from the beach bars.

Add a happy hour.

swimming pool view close to the beach

very high traffic area even you rent motorcycle

The pool and swim up bar. And amazing rooms with large bathroom

Beautiful staff and always neat as a pin!

Little ran down but has great character and staff make up for it

Great location. Great value. Gardens and pool lovely. Old world rustic charm. Fun beach side bars/casual restaurants next door. Great views across the ocean. Peaceful. Spacious grounds. Big rooms.

A little bit rundown but didn’t bother us at all. A little away from the action of central Seminyak

We love the warm and friendly hospitality the staff showed us. They organised a special surprise for my husband and I which was very sweet and thoughtful of them. The place is full of character and charm from it’s rich history. Beachfront but away from the busy area so you get to enjoy the ambiance and view in peace. Walking distance to the shops and centre (shorter if you go along the shore). Buffet breakfast have quite a good selection of local and international options. They also have an in house spa which is always booked so once you check in, make sure to secure your spot straightaway.

The hotel is a bit run down and could use a bit more cleaning (corners and ceilings) but otherwise bed sheets and everything else are clean.

The staff where exceptional. Always friendly and helpful.

Hotel is looking a little tired. Pool was quite hard to get in and out and deep

AMAZING! Looks even better than in the fotos. This place feels unreal, wish I had stayed longer. Loved everything : breakfast is delicious, staff is adorable, pool is wonderful with beach views, and the room was huge. GO GO GO

Breakfast is expensive, we opted to walk to local places very close by instead. The room are lovely, nice a spacious and very comfortable. The pool is fantastic. Love that it's right by the sea and very well serviced.

Their laundry service is far too expensive.

Location

A little run down around pool area and bathrooms

I would consider the hotel 3 or maybe 3.5 star rather than 4 as advertised. However, I would stay there again which is the true test!

The rooms, the architecture and it was next to the beach.

Not friendly for low mobility person

The room was fantastic and the location also!

Be sure to pack earplugs to sleep. The beach is very close, the waves are very loud during the night, didnt get any sleep the first night. Breakfast was a let down and the price for it was a shocking considering the poor quality . The pricing overall of menus is joke, just for a few drinks by the pool and fries during the day we received a bill for almost 60€ which is very high for Bali, especially considering that's only 2 (very small) portions of fries and about 5 soft drinks ... Also received a bill of 55€ for the laundry, unbelievable amount, we had max. 20 items that had a standard wash. During this trip we stayed in a few high end hotels and their prices weren't even as ridiculous for food, drinks or laundry. Felt totally ripped off by the Grand Balisani.

Ambience, Breakfast & Welcome drink.

Reptiles like Lizards & Mosquitoes loitering everywhere in the lobby as well as inside the room. Seems like there were an Lizard couple who occupied that room in which I was staying.
