The first stop when I arrived in Bali, I thought the more expensive hotels in the next few stops would be more exciting, but in fact the first stop was the pinnacle, this one. The next stop is not as good as the last one.
After this time, I know that Nusa Dua and Seminyak are not very good. The hotel hardware there is no longer as good as the new hotels in China. Of course, the service is still better than many domestic hotels with empty hardware, but they are all big hotels in the mass market. Compared with Samaya, the service and comfort are quite a bit lower. .
The highlight of Samaya is the kindness of the service staff. They almost know everyone, there are not too many guests staying, and the service details are not missed. The service staff looks relatively simple. Compared with the professional service staff at Nusa Dua and Seminyak, the service staff here are more friendly and personal. They will talk about their family and life, allowing you to experience a little bit of local culture.
Compared to the ones I stayed in later, the room turned out to be the best, I don't know. There is new fruit every day, and there is chocolate in bed at night. The Villa is much more comfortable than the rooms at Ritz-Carlton or Alila.
The breakfast and dinner offerings are very good. Especially the dinner dishes are of high quality. The Buffet buffet style of big hotels, which focuses on huge and rich breakfasts, is outdated. First of all, it is wasteful. Secondly, the environment is usually crowded and complicated. No matter how high-end it is, such as the Ritz-Carlton, it is just high-end in the mass market. This type itself is aimed at a massive audience. In terms of cost-effectiveness, it is obvious that boutiques such as Samaya are much higher.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that Ubud is the area with the most local cultural connotation in Bali and has a relatively traditional cultural atmosphere. The hotel is also quite unique. The biggest disadvantage is the traffic jam in this area. It takes you half an hour to walk just two or three kilometers, and there is nothing you can do, because the road is only one or two country roads, and cars are jammed at any time. Secondly, there is no sea inland, so you can only see terraced fields. But compared to places such as Seminyak and Nusa Dua, which are so commercialized and westernized that the original appearance is almost invisible, they are still much more original. In Seminyak, you can't feel the difference from the West. In Nusa Dua, you can't feel the difference from Sanya. Why come to Bali?
