Hotel Bali Aroma Exclusive Villas (Seminyak, Indonesia)

These villas are just a short seven minute walk from Batubelig Beach, where pristine sand and the balmy Indian Ocean awaits you. There are also a few bars and restaurants where you can eat and drink with a view.

This place feels like a small resort, with Balinese styled villas dotted around a lush landscaped garden. Many of the villas have their own private pool, but there is also a large communal pool for everyone to use.

You can’t fault the customer service here, it has just the right balance. When you don’t want to be disturbed you’ll be left in peace, but when you need something the staff are always around to help.

One area in which this place is lacking is the choices on the restaurant menu. Not enough variety is available, and the quality of the food served could do with being improved too.

If staying connected to the internet is important during your stay then you might get a bit frustrated here. The free Wi-Fi is patchy and unreliable, often cutting out, and not all areas of the property get a good signal.

The villas here are beginning to look a little worse for wear, with some work needed to spruce them up a bit. It seems that regular maintenance is being overlooked at this place, so if you want a brand new sparkling villa to stay in look elsewhere.
