Denpasar Resorts

Wonderfully attentive staff, who were genuinely friendly without being intrusive, large spacious suites, beautiful grounds, not over-developed, and amazing breakfasts. None whatsoever

The staff were outstanding: in 35 years of travel I have never come across such helpfulness , politeness in the face of problems - we were there during the volcanic ash crisis of April 2010 and needed to communicate with family, insurance company, airline and friends and the staff were just brilliant. When my credit card failed to validate on arrival I was of course beside myself with worry but they were not at all bothered - it was probably the atmospherics, they said, and would soon be OK when the weather got back in balance. Internationa lHerald Tribune each morning; clean sheets and duvet cover and pillow cases each day. When we departed for the airport little did we know that on our arrival there there was a member of the hotel staff Nothing

The staff were all fantastic, especially Pandi who worked at the pool/activities desk. The free scuba diving lesson available at the pool were a lot of fun. No

All staffs are GST! Greet, smile and thank you! Best resort in Bali. We booked our stay via kayak and when check in, was told by receptionist that breakfast is not included in my package which have been confirmed by agent kayak. I showed them that my booking is inclusive of breakfast, I then emailed to kayak but no response from them till date. Rimba is really nice, after check in, receptionist called and said that the resort will extend breakfast to us for the our stay in Rimba. The staffs at Rimba ensure that whatever request you have will be fulfilled at their best possible. Not that I can think of..

The hotel is absolutely stunning, with modern, tasteful and luxurious finishes. It is connected by frequent tram to its sister resort (Ayana) and to a private beach. It's a little out of the way from Jimbaran itself, and requires an inexpensive taxi ride to and from town. Food at the resort is good but expensive. The spa is astronomically expensive by Bali standards, although it is in line with Western high end resorts. The Rock Bar at the Ayana (for which Rimba guests get priority access) is a lifelong memory (although VERY expensive). The staff are extremely friendly and willing to help. The beach is beautiful. Location is quite convenient to the airport. In the early morning, it was only about a 10-15 ride. Honestly think it was our one-time bad luck, as opposed to a constant problem, but the air conditioning in our room could not be adjusted, even after we called for technicians to come and "fix" it. The temperature in our room hovered between hockey arena and cold-freezer. Made for poor sleep in an otherwise very comfortable room. Also, despite all the attention, the hotel managed to forget about giving us a promised wake up call. Fortunately, I set my own alarm just in case. But if I hadn't, we would have missed our early morning flight. The beach is very beautiful, but it's not for swimming. There are lots of big waves and big rocks, and the red flag is probably out 99% of the time. All in all, despite the shortcomings, I still believe this to be an outstanding hotel. Well worth the money (and priced much cheaper than many hotels that are likely comparable in quality).
