Alila Seminyak

女朋友很喜歡

I have heard of the Alila brand for a long time and have longed for it, but I am slightly more disappointed than I expected. Let me talk about the good and bad ones. First of all, the check-in experience. After the front desk took the ID, I had to wait for a long time. I thought that the cold towels and the hotel's special lemongrass drinks that are usually required in Southeast Asian resort hotels were not available. I waited until the service staff came to check in and signed for something before they were served. In fact, they should be provided during the period, and there should be instructions to let guests know how to use Wi-Fi. Anyway, some details are compared with other hotels, and the most feared word is the word "comparison". Then there are the rooms. For ordinary standard guest rooms, it is the level of the relatively newly built four-star hotels or even high-end express hotels in China. The room is small, and the design details inside are also lacking in thought. I wonder if the designer himself would find it inconvenient to live there. Anyway, as far as the room is concerned, if you don't look at other things, it is definitely not worth the level of 2,000, not to mention more than 3,000 in the peak season. The supplies in the room, the toothbrush will shed hair, the most bizarre thing is that the razor is basically blunt, as if there is a layer of film on it, and nothing can be shaved off after a long time... Let's talk about the good things, there are many swimming pools. The design can't be said to have any highlights, but their attractive place is... popularity. Although I don't like family-oriented or Western party-style environments, the atmosphere or vibe here feels very good, lively but not noisy, and the air is filled with a happy and relaxed atmosphere. Some children are playing in the pool, but there are more quiet adults drinking, chatting, and reading by the pool. Although there are people everywhere, it is not crowded. At sunset, it feels great to enjoy the sunset from the pool facing the sea. This alone is enough to not rule out the opportunity to stay for two more days. The breakfast is pretty good. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the table facing the sea is filled with colorful juices, which is very pleasant. There are not many things in the self-service buffet, mainly ordered from the menu. But compared with the full self-service ones like Ritz Carlton, the quality is actually much more refined, and every item on the menu is healthy and delicious. 5 stars for breakfast Dinner, the restaurant Sea Salt, specializes in seafood, exquisite products, and the menu is also quite interesting, but it is also the most expensive in Seminyak. If you want more choices, go straight out of the door, and there are all kinds of restaurants along the way, expensive and cheap, high-end, local and down-to-earth, all available. Dinner service is very good, and the waiters/waitresses have a pleasant exchange. A chef occasionally comes out to chat, a young and ambitious chef. But the overall service is mixed. For example, I booked a car to go to the airport early in the morning, and confirmed it repeatedly in advance, but the time was still wrong. Fortunately, I booked a car from the hotel, and the car was sent immediately to make up for it and quickly remedy the problem. Hotels in the Seminyak Beach area, W, Potato Head, Alila, etc. are of similar level, and Alila is always cheaper. When it comes to beaches, everyone has the same sea and is connected. W is too old-fashioned, potato heads... It has its own group, and those who like it are willing to pay the price, but for other groups, it is just a nightclub, noisy, and belongs to another generation of people... Alila is about right, relatively speaking.
