hotel in nusa dua
 

please let me know about your experiences with hotels in nusa dua. i intent to travel te end of this month.<BR>thanks

My family visited Bali about four years ago and stayed at the Melia Bali in Nusa Dua. This hotel is lovely. The service was excellent, gardens beautiful, pool superb - couldn't fault the hotel. The staff were very pleasant and the restaurants that we tried at the hotel were very nice.

I second the recommendation. We also stayed at the Melia Bali, which was nice. The grounds were lovely, the food was good, and the service was great. I thought the rooms were just so-so (although we did appreciate the balcony), but good for what we paid. (I can't remember what we paid, but it wasn't 5 star prices, so the room was fine for the price). The breakfast room is also very nice since part of it is outside in the wonderful garden area.<BR><BR>The only caution I have about Nusa Dua is that it is not &quot;real&quot; Bali - it was created in the 70's (?) by the government. If you're looking for authentic Balinese culture, try one of the other beaches or the outskirts of Ubud (which is overrun with tourists, but the scenery is amazing). We, on the other hand, live in China and were just looking for a very quiet, relaxing place - which Nusa Dua provided very well.<BR><BR>One highlight of our trip was a kayak float down the river. My husband piloted his own (no experience necessary), and I had a guide pilot mine (which I highly recommend - no paddling!). It was absolutely wonderful - breathtaking scenery, and most of the time we were the only people on the river. Much better (in my opinion) than joining a rafting group where you're in a raft with 10 people and in a chain of 10 rafts.<BR><BR>Have a great time!

Hi!<BR><BR>The two best hotels in Nusa Dua are the Grand Hyatt and the Nusa Dua Beach hotel &amp; spa, the latter being a member of the leading hotels of the world.<BR>My personal choice would be the Grand Hyatt since the beach by that hotel is nicer than the one by Nusa Dua Beach h&amp;s, they are just a 5 minute walk from each other. We stayed at the Hilton which I found outdated and boring although they had fairly nice gardens.

We saw all the hotels in Nusa Dua and loved the Hilton, (outdated, how?). The Hyatt was also nice. The nice thing about Nusa Dua was the lack of beggers, tots and con-men, found all over Ubad and other tourist areas.
