We had a wonderful stay at Ayodya Palace in Nusa Dua. The highlight of our trip was the staff, who were incredibly friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. Their hospitality really made us feel valued throughout our stay.

The food was excellent, with a great variety and consistently high quality. We thoroughly enjoyed every meal and were impressed by the choice available.

The pool facilities were fantastic—well maintained, spacious and a great place to relax. The beach was also beautiful and ideal for a stroll or a swim, although it was a little disappointing to see some plastic washed up on the shoreline. This is more of an environmental issue than a reflection on the hotel itself.

One small downside was the number of hawkers on the beach. They could be quite persistent at times, which occasionally interrupted the peaceful atmosphere.

Overall, Ayodya Palace is a fantastic place to stay, offering excellent service, great food and superb facilities. We’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting Nusa Dua and would certainly consider returning.

This is an exceptional property. However, it lacked the soul. The resort is trying to make it a long stay all inclusive resort. It would not allow me to book for 2 nights. In reality most of the resort areas looked empty.

Make no mistake .. this is a fantastic resort and I did have a great time. But I was expecting more.

The Ayodya Palace provided exceptional service. All of the staff who provided a service to us were professional, kind, attentive and friendly.
It was our 35th wedding anniversary and we were given one of the best rooms and they also decorated the room on our arrival.
The rooms were serviced daily and often twice a day.
The main resort itself was huge and maintained a Balinese feel. There were ample restaurants and facilities.
The food in the Indian restaurant and the Waterfall A La Carte were both extremely good.
The only negative feedback is the poor condition of the decking around the Palace pool area. It is in desperate need of replacement, and we believe this is due to occur although not sure when. This did not affect our enjoyment of the hotel and we will not hesitate to return.
We had a fabulous time staying at the Palace and look forward to when we can go back!

The staff are great. We had a few room issues and it was sorted which I appreciated. However it was not really something that should occur in a hotel such as this. We were given a great upgrade but if that had not been
offered I am unsure how I would feel about the resort. We had a blocked toilet and no hot water for the bath. I will state that one of the staff offered an upgrade after I explained my frustration. Other than that staff wonderful room very clean and well equipped.

What a fantastic 5 nights we spent at this beautiful venue.
Staff were incredibly friendly, remembering our names each time they saw us, special mentions go to Sudani, Dafa, Putri, Kari and Bina(GM).
We had a couple of issues with our room in the palace, which Bina resolved perfectly.
Dafa was so aware of the guests in the palace, topping up drinks, clearing tables as they were required.
Putri had the biggest most genuine smile smile I have ever seen, the best welcome each time we entered the palace for drinks.
Kari was very attentive, keying in top of everything in our suite.
Sudani was incredible, friendly, attentive, reassuring and offered any help should you require it.
All in all, a fantastic stay, and will return in the future.

This was a return visit to the Palace wing of Ayodya resort. So, we basically knew what to expect. However, things have changed in the last 12 months since we last visited. The additional 'club' breakfast, afternoon tea and evening dining options have definitely been upgraded, and were appreciated. Many of the Palace staff were pleasantly familiar to us, as we were to them, with warm greetings all around.

The hotel is very dated and a lot of staff seem extremely new (young high school students in training, not much English). Even though they were willing to help, they couldn’t - calling the operator to ask a simple question often led to being passed around to 3 people or so. We had a few issues with cleanliness with the room (stains) and on departure they left us chocolates that tasted like they were expired from 1995 and made me want to vomit. On the plus though, the palace lounge is nice air conditioned place to hang out, the free photoshoot is decent, and the free costume experience in the lobby is a nice touch. Staff are kind and well meaning but not well resourced to help guests with requests.

A stay at the Ayoda Palace includes exclusive access to a dining area that is adjacent to the beach and a lovely pool. In this area, free non-alcoholic drinks were available all day, as well as complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea, and \"happy hour\" that includes heavy appetizers. Happy Hour often became dinner as we are not huge eaters. The Ayoda was clearly once a premiere hotel and still has an elegant beauty, but the rooms feel somewhat dated with some odd lighting controls. The STAFF could NOT be nicer. They were accommodating, friendly and always available. I needed to get to a pharmacy when I arrived and a front desk staff member drove me there, waited for me, and drove me back. Stellar service all around.

I spent 7 nights in the Palace suite with lounge benefits and I was not disappointed at any stage.

The only complaint is something that was out of their control which was a broken lift for a day. That’s it. Everything in their control I could not fault.

Told it was 95% occupancy but with the amount of sun lounges and space you wouldn’t know.
Can’t speak for breakfast in general as we were in the Palace but

As explained by other the palace is part of the resort however you will pay double the price of the normal room in the resort for having a separate reception, pool and lounge access which from what I saw was not really worth it, the reception when we arrived was empty and no one to help, the bathroom in the room is outdated, the breakfast selection in the lounge is very limited compared to the resort restaurant (which you can go to any) the big advantage is only that you don’t need to walk a lot from the palace entrance to your room other than that not much

I could write thousands of words explaining everything in detail about how good the Palace is but I’ll summarise by saying both the Club Benefit Palace room (1477) and Suite options are amazing. We were extremely fortunate and grateful to get the Hanuman Suite (1483) for our anniversary. It’s a massive room with the most beautiful views.
Literally the only negative was having to explain we had a members discount every time we purchased food or drink in any of the bars or restaurants, as the hotel system clearly couldn’t auto apply the discount using the room number.
Everything else was brilliant, the breakfast, afternoon tea, the pool, location, beach, cocktail 1.5hrs and of course the staff. All the staff work tirelessly and do their best - Santiasa has to get a special mention for being extra lovely.

Great for families with young kids

We had a really great stay here with our 2.5year old and 8month old. Very family friendly but not overwhelmed with only families staying there. The kids pools were really great. Staff were very friendly and lovely with the kids.
Although parts of the hotel looked a little tired there were lots of staff around doing maintenance and keeping things tidy. All the spaces were kept very clean.
Sometimes communication between staff wasn't great, for example we had a letter left in our room about a free balinese dance performance happening in the hotel but when we asked in the lounge and at the palace reception they new nothing about it and kept trying to direct us to the paid nightly performances in the hotel theatre. The only other thing we found frustrating was that we forgot our reusable swim nappy. unsurprisingly the hotel asks that babies and children who are not fully toilet trained wear a swim nappy. However, the hotel did not provide any or have any for sale. They directed us to a pharmacy at the local market, which did not have any for sale either. Very minor complaints on the whole. We would definitely recommend this hotel, especially to other young families.

We stayed at the Palace for seven nights in early February. It had been a while since our last visit in 2016, so I was delighted to find that the Palace still exudes a beautiful traditional Balinese look and style, complemented by exceptional service. The Palace team, led by Bina, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. All the staff were outstanding, but I want to give a special shoutout to Kadik, Erika, and Noni. The breakfast was superb, and the complimentary cocktails and canopies in the evening were delightful. I highly recommend the Palace for a beautiful Balinese experience.

This is an absolutely beautiful property located in an exclusive area amongst other five star resorts. The rooms are wonderful in the Palace area of the resort. The dining options are very good and fairly priced for a resort of this type. The staff is amazing: I just wish that I could remember all of these super-stars like Bena, Noni, Rindi (at the Java Cafe), Mahindra, ….
While the resort rooms are probably very nice, splurge on the Palace rooms…..you will not regret it!! And for a super splurge, get suite 1196 with private pool, 2 private courtyards, direct beach access….

I would highly recommend staying in Ayodya Palace. The service and the people are so lovely. The hotel is huge but not impersonal and the hotel itself is Balinese in style which makes your stay feel more authentic. The grounds are exquisite and there is so much space around the pools and beach area that there is no difficulty getting a sun lounger and a place in the shade. The complimentary bicycles are a lovely touch for cycling around the vast grounds and the surrounding area. Staying in the Palace section is to be recommended. The club lounge used by palace guests is so serene and a beautiful area for breakfast and the complimentary afternoon tea (3-4.30) and cocktails (6-7.30) only for palace guests. I cannot compliment enough the following staff - Niri, Erika, Sintia, Yudi, Agung, Donu, Santi, Rio and Surya. They are so friendly, welcoming and helpful and provide an excellent service to all of their guests.
