First time we visited Meliá Sol All Inclusive Hotel before Covid. We enjoyed so much and decided to come back. We had almost the same room like before. Great Suite with short distance to pool and beach. Room was relatively quiet and garden functions with music stopped latest 10PM, so no problem. Pool area is ok and early in the morning you could swim around the pool without any disturbance. Beach is quire shallow and we did not use salty water at all. Mainly we looked water jets and other water activity's on-site.
All Inclusive plan suited to us very well, but menu selection was almost the same we saw before Covid. Meaby in the future Chef will create something new for the menu at Kitchen restaurant. Breakfast was good and caters us very well.
Small issues need some action: Egg Station is too busy for one employee and he/she needs second hand to help in busy mornings. Now it took long time to get your omelet ready. We are Espresso coffee lowers and at the pool bar I found one hygienic problem with Espresso machines steam wand that was not cleaned after frothing the milk. Steam wand might get clogged when milk drys into steam wand nozzle. Sooner or later it is difficult to clean it properly. It is so easy after you make Capuzino with milk wroth to release some steam to clear the wand and nozzle with wet damp cloth every time.
We drank our Cappuccinos in the Kitchen restaurant and they say that steam wand is cleaned every time after any coffee with milk.
Overall personal in every department were very friendly and special thanks to Team Ice-cream kiosk with great discussions and Rom Russin Ice Cream to die for.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
We have just spent a week at this magnificent establishment in Bali. We were in an “All Inclusive” “Premium Package” and we were accommodated in a “Junior Suite” on the ground floor of the establishment, just a few steps from the swimming pool, the beach, and the restaurants and lobby. I have to say that I was very impressed with the quality across the board that I found at Sol Benoa Bali. There are a lot of staff and they are all, without exception, always very attentive, attentive, smiling, very professional and they always do everything to satisfy you down to the smallest detail. The catering, especially in the case of an “All Inclusive”, is particularly careful and of very good quality. Every evening, it was possible to choose either one of the 2 indoor restaurants, or to dine at a sumptuous buffet near the beach with entertainment, also of very high quality. The junior suite is also very pleasant and very well equipped. We were able to give away 8 rooms (4 rooms per person) for cleaning each day which were taken in the morning and brought back to the suite in the evening. The Spa is also of high quality and it is possible to discover it for free thanks to the 2 times 60 minutes offered with the Premium package I look forward to returning to Sol Benoa Bali on my next trip to Indonesia.

At this property they ask for an advance for anything, and exclusively breakfast is included, which I must say, is not bad at all. The spacious rooms are poorly cleaned, equipped with a pre-war hairdryer in my case malfunctioning. The vendors in the corridors of the “Resort” are pedantic and pressing, asking to come to their store every single time you pass them. Shops that also sell tarot bags and industrial items, nothing giftable. The à la carte restaurant is pretty poor. In the morning you have to make a run for the sunbeds because there are not enough for all guests and there is no assigned and assured seat. The most sore note is the beach that in addition to not being white is full of seaweed and jet skis, boats and merchant ships in the distance. The beaches are more or less like this all over Nusa Dua. In the evening you are delighted by trashy music until about 11pm. The SPA is expensive and must be paid in advance. Before leaving the Resort we had several hours waiting for our flight, so we asked to be able to keep the beach towels for a few hours. The staff forced us to go and pick them up on the beach to replace them with some practically the same towels but only more stained and run down. I would not recommend staying at Nusa Dua and here in particular.

Since my return home to the UK one week ago, from a four week stay at my favourite hotel in Bali, Indonesia, I have had time to reflect on what was yet again, the most wonderful and memorable experience. My late wife and I travelled to Bali from our home in Kent, England, on four occasions, and each visit was for a three-week holiday staying at the lovely hotel “SOL by Meliá Benoa Bali” All inclusive! This particular hotel was our most favourite destination. I would highly recommend this five-star hotel to anyone thinking of visiting Bali, which is also great for people with young families. Nestled in tranquil beautiful tropical gardens and golden sandy beach areas, the hotel grounds are greatly admired and celebrated for its serene surroundings. The ambiance is fantastic with a great relaxing atmosphere. The hotel rooms are comfortable and relaxing with balcony, and are highly praised for their spaciousness and cleanliness with impeccable standards, also with typically traditional Balinese décor, and there are exceptional amenities within the complex for all to enjoy! All staff with their beautiful smiling faces work tirelessly every day to cater for your needs, they just couldn’t do enough for you! Every member of staff one came into contact with, would greet you with enthusiasm, and when you engaged with them, they would be extremely friendly, welcoming, empathetic, and professional. At each meal, the food is brilliant!! with plenty of choice for all, and with daily themes, enjoying a buffet style selection of many dishes. The hotel boasts three restaurants, one of which is a fabulous Italian restaurant, offering a variety of tasty Italian cuisine, served with elegant presentation. Fundamentally, I would like to pay tribute to all staff members, with a special mention to Ratna Dewi, GEX Manager for the hotel. Ratna very kindly allowed and arranged with her team, for me to have a wooden plaque displayed beside a beautiful Jepun tree, to commemorate the passing of my lovely wife, a truly memorable experience. 🙏 I am very much looking forward to returning to this lovely hotel during May 2025.

Room was advertised as a 'garden view' room but actually looks out over a wall, shops and roofs. The room also smells slightly musty. O therPwise very comfortable and clean. Fresh towels, toiletries and drinking water is provided every day. The breakfast is very good and, some people don't know, but you can order special coffees. You cannot fault the service and friendliness of the Balinese staff all around the hotel.
One thing that can be very annoying is that guests will 'reserve' sunloungers' at the beach and the pool for the whole day by dropping a towel on them. While there are pool attendants, they don't do anything about it. This means that at times there are no available chairs while there aren't actually that many people around. While this is mainly a guest problem, I think the hotel should have a policy and do something about this.

I had the best sabbatical. We've made it an all-inclusive plan, but it's a great place to take a leisurely vacation, with daily a la carte menus available to order at any time, free pool bar and restaurant drinks, free pool bed and seaside governor, and a free evening dinner show. The food was really good, both buffet and à la carte, and there were still so many things I wanted to conquer. Recommendations include a morning omelet and croissant, and a la carte burgers and schnitzels, cordon blue, mushroom soup and lump salad. Also, we could rent snorkels for free at the beach, there were a lot of fish in the shallows as far as the slot, and we could rent a bike and cycle along the beach. The beachfront is paved next to the sandy beach and you can cycle to Bali Collection. Other activities included beach volleyball, billiards, darts, soccer games and table tennis. Every day there were activities organized by the hotel (yoga, cooking demos, bamboo knitting, etc.) and the cheerful brother taught everyone and it was fun. It was really fun, just in and around the hotel. The laundry was across from the hotel, and if it was an express, they would finish it on the same day and the next day at the latest, and the massage opposite the hotel was very good. It was a hotel that made me feel like there is such a heaven in the world and I would love to be there if I ever went to Bali again.

We have lost track of the number of times we have stayed at the Sol Beach hotel over the past 20 years and here are some of the reasons. The hotel is an older style but small and friendly and clean and the staff are all awesome and treat you like royalty! The all inclusive gives you the freedom to eat and drink without the signing of dockets. There are 3 Restaurants to choose from and I think that the food and drink selection and quality during our visit this month was the best ever! There is entertainment at night with shows in the beach areas. Laundry is included in the all inclusive so that you can return home with a minimum of washing. There are shops in the hotel for souvenirs and clothes The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms large and there is a good size balcony. The icing on the cake for us is the Swim up Pool Bar where you can meet guests from all over the world. We will be back!

Never in the world have I come back to a hotel room with a note under my door saying please see reception about a spot on your towel found by housekeeping !!!! Disgusting. They even took photos They have hassled us since.we will be taking this further to the head management of melia hotels.the treatment is disgusting .worst hotel I have ever stayed at. No service around the pool.there was a nothing luxury about this place whatsoever. Definitely not a bali holiday. Avoid this hotel at all costs. Not to mention they let people put towels on the daybeds early of morning then no one on them . Staff should be taking those towels away so other guests can actually use the daybeds . No once did we have a staff member ask us for drinks around pool. There is no food either.
