Puri Saron Hotel ex Bali Holiday Resort

Sumptuous and serene and right on the beach at Seminyak the Bali Holiday Resort soothes you with crashing ocean waves and a gorgeous garden. It’s right in the center of the action too – you can walk to the Double Six Club and Deja Vu or have a tasty dinner on your own balcony brought in. Walk to the countless restaurants nearby and feast your senses on mouthwatering delights.

The pool is so big it can accomodate families and couples with plenty of room to spread out. I loved the delicious breakfast and the attentive staff. Also the king size bed with high thread count sheets and plump pillows behind the linen see through curtains was alluring and romantic. I didn’t want to leave.
