Risata Bali Resort & Spa

Balinese style with beautiful gardens! Great selection of food for breakfast. well trained staff.

The staff, without exception were great, from front of house to gardening and housekeeping teams were always helpful and greeted you each time with a smile. I appreciated that the pool staff removed towels from lounges and tables as soon as someone left which discourages guests from 'reserving' lounges all day eventhough they may only use the spot for a short time. This is a big bugbear for lots of travellers... so well done Risata.

The Risata Bali resort and staff are just amazing, beautiful people who take the time to say hello and get to know you personally. They are all so helpful and always have a smile. The rooms were very spacious and clean with lovely views of the lush greenery of the tropical plants. The resort has a lovely tropical feel to it The pool area was great and relaxing. The buffet food for breakfast was very delicious, I chose the Indian cuisine option most days as it was excellent and the freshly cooked eggs your way each day was sensational. Transport from the airport and back was a great service along with the late check-out and still using the facilities and waiting lobby prior to leaving for the airport. A few minutes walking distance to Jerman beach was great and a 15 min walk along the beach walk pathway to Kuta beach and shopping centre was a lovely stroll. A few great little places to eat and have massages very close by. A tip: the ATM right next to the Risata was excellent for taking out cash and a very good exchange rate. I wouldn't bother exchanging too much cash in Australia or at the Airport, as this ATM was a much higher rate without getting ripped off in Australia or the Airport. A cross from the Risata is also a mini mart which was very handy. The day spa at the Risata was also amazing!! I booked a three hour pamper session prior to leaving for the airport! This was an amazing way to end my journey in Bali! A two hour: foot soak, full body massage and scrub, a facial and then one hour hair nourishment treatment which was sensational and made my hair so soft and smooth. A wonderful experience. The staff are so friendly and very helpful. Only ten minutes from the airport and away from the crowds in kuta itself which was nice to be in a more quiet area.

Excellent selection for breakfast including an egg station and roti station. Staff always polite and helpful. Grounds beautiful and well maintained even chopped some bushes when we requested as we couldn't see over them from our patio. Pool large with shallow area for kids. Many lounges around the pool and drinks staff serving reasonably priced alcohol. Had 6 hour late checkout for 500,000rp as we had a late flight.

In the last few days of our stay, more guests arrived late, or left early which at times was noisy. Bathroom flooded via floor waste due to blocked drain, took three attempts over a day and night to fix. Plug holes probably need strainer to stop foreign items getting into plumbing. The grounds and pool were very good, no street noise. Green calm garden paths, soft pool deck chairs and shady pool side. Breakfast was quiet ok, lot of Indian style food options which appeared popular, eggs cooked as requested, bacon, baked beans, good bread selection.
