Sofitel Hotel

5 *, 5*, 5*. What more can I say about this fab hotel. Our room was deluxe garden room and yes it was luxurious and yes maybe the bathroom could be updated but it was still fabulous. The staff went beyond their call of duty to ensure that your stay was the most enjoyable 5* experience ever. And as for Robin (Manager) he went even further than that to ensure our stay was the best ever. He not only made sure he escorted us around the fabulous grounds we even joined him for drinks on his night off, nothing was too much of an effort for both him... more

Arrived at the sofitel after our flight and could not fault the service from the welcoming drink and cool towels till we checked out 13 days later.The hotel is set in a lush garden setting on the beach with 2 great pools,Room was a superior and although the bathroom is starting to show its age the room was serviced daily to a high standard. Breakfast was a delight with a varity second to none.The staff in all areas where most helpfull and the service first class.The seminyak area was very quiet and if you needed to go to legian or kuta... more

Stayed at the resort for 7 nights with several friends. Beautiful, tranquil gardens that embrance the ambience of Bali. The buffet breakest is of high quality and quantity, with several chefs at your beck and call wanting to make you a great omlette when you are hungover from all of the Bingtang and cocktails from the previous night. The Bali hostesses are very helpful. . The pool is right on the beach front. You can sit back and view the surf while relaxing on a day bed or take a dip in the large pool. Fantastic location and... more

I have stayed at many 5 star hotels and this one is one of the best. It has its own grounds which is a true tropical paradise with lagoons, streams, and swimming pools in it. The hotel grounds are adjacent to the ocean so when you swim in the main pool you can see, hear, and feel the ocean surf pounding. It is that close. But the beach itself is not one for swimming or snorkeling. There is always a large surf and flags flying on the beach that say “DANGER-STRONG CURRENTS’. So even thought I swim daily in the beaches of Southern... more

I stayed here recently with my mother, sister and two children (6 & 3) and we all really enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly and helpful, room service food & service was excellent. The pools are great - one especially if you have young children - there is a kids pool and the hotel also provides pool toys which is very useful. Sure there is construction next door (as you will read in other reviews) but whilst relaxing at the pool you really didn't notice it. if you are planning to stay in one of the villas, this is closer to the... more

We had quite possibly the best stay we have ever experienced in any hotel, world wide. The service was impeccable, the villa absolutely beauitful, the location super handy, and directly on the beach, the massage in the private day spa villa was amazing and the food in their Thai restaurant was absolutely delicious. We are already organising our return trip. Highly reccomended.

We stayed here during the low season in February. There weren't too many tourists in Bali during this time, which may also explain the excellent rate we got during our stay. We arrived at the hotel and received a welcome drink upon arrival. Always a nice touch. Very professional service allowed our check-in to be a smooth process. We were then escorted to our fabulous room. This is just one example of the friendly service we had received during our entire stay. Our room was very comfortable and modern, with some touches of simple... more

We spent nine nights at the Sofitel in February. Overall, I was impressed with the property and felt that it was an excellent value for the rate that we paid. The rooms were modern and stylish, with lots of dark wood. It was more of a European decor than an Asian style. Our balcony overlooked the garden and I especially liked that there was a regular door to the balcony rather than a sliding glass door. The service was excellent, I felt like the staff knew us by name after only a few days and we were always greeted with a friendly smile... more

Stayed at the Sofitel for 5 days in mid-May in one of the superior villas. Overall, our experience was very good and the weather was perfect. We have stayed at this resort several times - including when it was still called the Imperial and Royal Seminyak - and have never had any serious complaints. The villa - very spacious with all the amenities you need. Furnishings are a little worn-out but nothing major. The private pool - T-shaped - was lovely and large/warm enough to do some nice laps during the day and at night. The only issue... more

Stayed for 8 days May/June 07. Had a wonderful time, fantastic hotel, all amenities. Staff very friendly and helpful. Beautiful surroundings, lovely room we were very impressed. The hotel is surrounded by a tropical garden, full of flowers, palms, water features etc. Two large swimming pools, plenty of loungers, nice soft fluffy towels. Would recommend the Beach BBQ evening! All spa treatments, sheer luxury! Huge buffet breakfast, with everything one could possibly fancy, and as much as you want! There was some... more
