Refined and modest decoration is making Amunusa one of the most beautiful hotels of Bali without any doubt. Situated in retreat of the beach, you can enjoy the hotel's privileged location, it is equipped with a high quality furnishing and hosting.
The hotel is located in the south part of the small built up area of Nusa Dua, on the border of Bali Golf & Country Club (7 cups). It takes 5 minutes to Nusa Dua, 25 miles to Denpasar and 10.5 miles to the airport, which is approximately between 20- 25 minutes.
At Amanusa, the hosting quality reaches the perfection not only by the allowances, but also by the dimensions and the decoration. Large and illuminated bungalows are all oriented through the north east and offer a superb panorama over the sea and the mountain chains of the north east (including Agung mount). To respect the intimity of the occupants, the bungalows are isolated each other by the walls made by lava stones. The room's centre is occupied by a four-poster bed indorsed against the dividing wall of a vast dressing which offers a single separation with a large bathroom. The bathroom is equipped by two wash basins, a big stool and a bathtub fitted by a shower and toilets isolated by the wooden shutters. The decoration is superb and the space is very impressive due to the presence of large exterior sundecks (front and back).
Perched on the hilltop dominating Nusa Dua bay, Amanusa offers a privileged environment, in retreat of the hotel infrastructures of this nearly island. The establishment includes 35 bungalows and a main building composed by a central body and two wings on sundecks projecting over a magnificient pool carpeted by a night blue colored paving. The architecture and the decoration are largely inspired by Asian traditions and profited by the local materials, lava stones and teak. Uncluttered but not austere, luxurious but not showy, the structure invites you to rest and relax. In brief, this magnificent hotel's two main faults could be its distance to the beach and the absence of leisure equipments (but it has to be known that this is not its main vocation).
Two restaurants are at guests' disposal. One of them occupies a big sundeck dominating the golf area and the bay. It offers a large selection of Asian specialties: Indonesian and Balinese and especially Thai ones. The restaurant is insight. You will taste Italian specialties there in a very elegant atmosphere. Please note that there is a cigar cave and a large selection of Cognac for the digestive.
A shuttle service is provided for the customers till 6:00 PM to carry out them to the beach located around 1 mile down against the hotel. This beach is the continuation of Hilton's beach. The beach is well equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, huts and a bar; the sand is blond.
Even thought the establisment doesn't possess a mini-club, it offers a free baby-sitting service to its customers as well as a free shuttle service for the beach till 6:00 PM.

Excellent sports infrastructures, confortable rooms, a nice park with private golf area and a long beach. It is really not missing any asset at Club Med Bali. Confident value of the island.
Even tough the dimensions of the park and the beach are the weak points of Aston Bali, nice big and confortable rooms make the hotel selective. A luxury hotel.
The hotel's dimension is impressively large but its location is profiting by a nice land, in the heart of a large park planted with trees, which comes out on a grand beach. The infrastructures of the hotel are all completed and the rooms are comfortable.
A very nice hotel where you may enjoy excellent supplies, charming atmosphere, nice furnishings and confortable rooms at the same time. Briefly, the hotel has a certain value.
A nice hotel to stay, supplied with several equipments and offering a pleasant athmosphere. It is not that charming and there is not much space, unlike some of its neighbours, but it is a good address based on quality/price ratio.
Nusa Dua Beach offers excellent services and high level of comfort with plenty space, a nice beach, an upscale spa. Standart rooms are however small.
An upscale establishment well equipped with its very nice and comfortable rooms. Even its architecture is lacking of authenticity, its lagoon and park are adding it a lot of style.
The charm of this very minimalist boutique hotel, a member of the "Small Luxury Hotel of the World" group, hits you as soon as you arrive and stays with you throughout? Well-being, relaxation and luxury harmoniously come together at the Bale, one of the prettiest and most pleasant hotels in Bali. You will be hard pushed to find a better welcome, the facilities are of a high quality, the restaurant services are very good and the rooms superb...Ask around - the experts will tell you so! The only drawback: the beach is far away.

A luxury version of The Laguna, the St Regis Resort offers an exhaustive list of services (a spa, direct access to the beach, renowned cuisine, etc., only sporty types might have something negative to say). Privacy was kept in mind when the lush gardens were being laid out, with plenty of thickets and discreet nooks. Unfortunately, there aren't many guest rooms that offer a view of the sea but we did really like the superb villas grouped around an impressive swimming pool in the shape of a saltwater river. The superb kid's club will delight families.
Located on the seafront, The Westin is both a large, elegant resort and a friendly one. It has many immaculate, well laid out facilities: everything is close and easily accessible! Ideal for everyone, particularly families, children and business travellers!

One of the latest upscale establishments to open on the Bukit Peninsula, the Banyan Tree Ungasan prides itself on the high-quality amenities offered in its villas and the overall privacy guests enjoy here. Its location, perched on a cliff facing the sea, makes it the perfect holiday spot if you are looking for a luxury retreat away from any activity. Nevertheless, we did feel that the establishment lacks some warmth, in particular since the group of villas resembles more of a housing estate than a hotel and the pool areas are not exactly the most comfortable for relaxing in.
