We absolutely loved our stay at the Akaya Bali. I usually only give 9/10 in reviews as I feel no one is perfect, however in this case I don't believe the Akaya could improve on anything. The staff, rooms, location and feel of the Akaya was wonderful.
A lovely surprise was you could have breakfast from the Cafe Akaya upstairs in another dinning lounge area. (Apologies for not knowing the name).
Although we aren't divers the PADI Dive Center looked amazing and added to the atmosphere of the reception and motel.
I would totally recommend the Akaya as a home away from home and it would be remiss of me not to give all the staff one more mention- they went over and above to make our stay enjoyable. Thanks so much.

It really is a home from home. The pool is generally quiet and not often frequented by small children. Close to restaurants and about 500m from the beachfront. Friendly staff who make the stay really enjoyable.

Great for couples. This was the 3rd hotel of 3 for our Bali holiday and was easily our favourite. The super friendly staff done an awesome job keeping the building clean and the grounds in good condition.
Breakfast at the cafe was next level yummy with a decent selection to choose from.
Our only issue was the bed was a little hard but we still slept ok so cant complain.
Was a great way to finish our trip and would definitely stay again next time we are in Sanur without the kids. Thankyou Akaya and staff.

My daughter and I loved our stay at Akaya. Location is great with many great spas and restaurants within close walking distance. Beds were comfortable and we liked that there was milk supplied in the fridge and filtered water was available on site. Cafe Akaya made an amazing breakfast that was included in our stay. The coffee was great too. Only drawbacks were limited sun beds by the pool and rooms are quite small. Staff are friendly, helpful and so welcoming.

Property was great, 7-10 minute walk to the beach walk. More notably than anything was the staff. Maria at the front desk was nothing short of exceptional. Not only did she take time to help me whenever I needed anything, I saw her go way above and beyond to help several other guests with questions about the area to accomodations request. During my check in she was polite and very very knowledgeable. I also saw her handle some not so nice guests with incredible grace and poise, why she is working the front desk and not helping manage is a waste of talent. The other staff were amazing as well but can only speak on what I experienced and observed. Breakfast here was amazing. Location although not on the beach front was in a great location.

Wonderful time at the Akaya Bali. Small and quiet Hotel behind a dive shop. Staff could not be faulted. Worked hard to ensure we had everything we needed. Loved the area around the pool. Very relaxing. Occasional dive lessons going on in the deep end which did not disturb us. Had wonderful included breakfast in the cafe Akaya. Good choice. Cooked fresh to order - delicious. Small but comfortable room. Had all the amenities we needed for our week long stay. I would not hesitate in recommending this place to family and friends. Thank you Akaya Bali xx

The staff were really helpful, and the breakfast very good. But we had issues during our stay.

While still fairly new, the hotel is showing signs of poor maintenance. Loose plumbing fixtures. Buckling floor boards in the room. Lights shorted out in the bathroom by the pool due to leaks from the floor above. On day two we discovered the lock on the room wasn’t working: door opened without use of key card.

During rains the street flooded and the hotel put sandbags across the front. It was especially difficult to come and go, even during lulls in the rain. Not the hotels fault, but that’s why I only gave three stars for location.

Gorgeous stay at this hotel… easy to reach via taxi from the airport, unassuming from the outside but very demure, very mindful as a boutique hotel once inside. Loved my room, great size for a solo traveller, clean & well maintained. Loved the staff here, super helpful in booking local tours across the island with local guides & arranging boat connection to Gilli T!! The location is fabulous, so close to the beach, fabulous shopping and great variety of local restaurants! Had the best birthday whilst staying here (& made it easy to observe to local cultural holiday customs too). Couldn’t recommend this more highly & will definitely rebook again in the future if I return to Sanur!

Look, it was in a great location and perfect for what I needed in terms of my stay in Sanur, however, the property itself isn't something I would hang around in. While nothing wrong with it generally, it's more of the design. The rooms are small and slightly dated compared to the photos, the balcony overlooks the pool but it isn't private as it's a long open balcony shared by everyone. The pool is small, all the rooms overlook the pool and limited loungers. It's in a great location! One block back from the esplanade and within walking distance to everything you could possibly need. Sanur is beautiful. I walked no more than 10 mins to have a beautiful and affordable breakfast on the esplanade and a cocktail on the rooftop of the expensive resort for happy hour! I would stay here again if my intention was to spend most of my time exploring Seminyak and eating out.

Certainly! Here's the revised review without the dining experience:

---

Nestled in the serene beauty of Sanur, Akaya Bali Resort is an oasis of tranquility. From the moment I stepped onto the grounds, I was enveloped in warmth and hospitality. The lush gardens, meticulously manicured, created a haven of relaxation.

The staff, with their genuine smiles and impeccable service, made me feel like royalty throughout my stay. The accommodations were not only luxurious but also thoughtfully designed, blending Balinese charm with modern comforts seamlessly.

The resort's attention to detail truly sets it apart. Whether it was arranging a personalized excursion or anticipating my every need, the team at Akaya Bali Resort exceeded my expectations at every turn.

If you're looking for a getaway that nourishes the soul and rejuvenates the spirit, look no further than Akaya Bali Resort. It's a sanctuary where every moment is infused with bliss, and memories are made to last a lifetime.

So satisfied with reasonable price

I stayed here for 4 days, including Nyepi day.
During here, I was so satisfied staying.

1. Nice staffs
People working here are so kind and good at english.
I felt really comfortable.

2. Nice facilities(compared to expense)
I got really clean room, and balcony, and nice swimming pool that enoughly enjoy and practice snorkling(some point was 2m deep)

3. Awesome food and prepared for Nyepi day
Food was really good and reasonable.
Especially, beef burger was so good... I missed it already!

During Nyepi day, they let me pre-order meals and there was no any inconvenience. I could enjoy silence day and saw many stars(though cloudy)!!

ah, also they are located near main street.

I will definitely stay again here if I come back to bali and sanur.
Terima kasih, all the staff of Akaya Bali!!!

We enjoyed this hotel so much that we are bringing family for another stay in 2024. The room was comfortable and we slept well. We ate in the cafe for dinner and again the next morning. There is nearby access to the beach and the staff is kind and welcoming. We didn't use the pool, but it was tempting. We thought that this was a great place for the cost. We didn't know that the bottled water was free since it was listed as mineral water on the minibar price list. We'll clarify whether or not bottled water is provided the next time we stay. The cut-up fresh fruit was a nice welcome treat.

The rooms are clean with comfy beds and beautiful swimming pool a few steps away..
Breakfast was delicious and you can enjoy it in Akaya Cafe or in the cosy terrace, sharing with the hotel on the 2nd floor since the construction is finished.
I can honestly recommend Akaya Bali Hotel for your stay in Sanur!

The property is currently under construction 7 days a week from 8am to 5pm, it's loud and a major distraction from the usual peace and quiet exspected when staying in Sanur.
It's a great small hotel with wonderfull staff, I would avoid until construction is completed and that looks like it will be at least another 3 months out.
