Paradise island, with friendly people. The local population speaks good English, some even a little bit of Russian. For 35-50 dollars, you can hire a car with a Russian-speaking driver for the whole day, who will not only be a driver, but also an assistant in the store and in the market. Will help to make purchases of seafood and not only. We were lucky, we met Bati. And he became our indispensable assistant. I can reset his phone.
Do not get hung up on the hotel, even if it is in Nusa Dua. The island is worth it to ride on it, to see the beauty of alpine lakes, to visit the bird park.
On the declared 5-ku the hotel does not hold out. Periodically there was no electricity. The rooms are quite shabby. Cleaning in the rooms every day, wipe everywhere, including the entire loggia with furniture. Change of linen daily, change of towels and bathrobes if necessary at your discretion. Bathrobes are not changed immediately, in order to bring clean ones I had to remind the reception 4 times. The hotel is great for families with children under 12. The pool is completely occupied by multilingual chirping kids, since the depth is small and the size matches the kids. The pool looks better in the photo. . . There is a great games room. For an infant, you can take an English-speaking nanny.

The hotel area is small, but clean and well maintained. I really liked the decorative ponds between the buildings and lotuses near the pool.
Food-breakfasts are the same. For lovers of variations of eggs and noodles, this is in abundance. Meat or fish were in only one dish. Papaya and pineapples quickly ran out and were replaced with more watermelon. Fortunately, there are plenty of shops with an excellent selection of fresh meat and fruits. And it is better to buy fish, crabs, shrimps on Jimbaran from fishermen.
The beach is not the best - small in size for so many guests. There aren't enough places in the morning. After lunch, there are many free places. Requests for additional sun loungers and umbrellas remain requests, as they are simply not available. Yes, there is too little space. There is a shuttle to the beach, but you can walk for 7-10 minutes no more. Unfortunately, there is construction along the road (reconstruction of a golf course and a pond, as well as construction of Novatel's cottages). When it's over, it'll be good enough.
The ocean is clean. Pronounced tides at 1.5 meters in height. But this is not annoying, since the coast has a strong slope. There is a reef in front of the coast that dampens the ocean wave - one of the places for surfers.
