Ayodya Resort Bali

Nice hardware, terrible software

The gardens, grounds and architecture were stunning and spectacular.

The buffet dinner by the beach was very low quality despite being quite pricey. The service was also substandard and insincere; we were left to find the room ourselves after check in, there was no offer to make dinner reservations or to introduce the hotel's facilities, the beach activity desk was unoccupied and when we found the responsible person walking around, we got a sales pitch), we received our $16.50 mojito's minus the rum (they got replaced but without a sincere apology). Overall it seems the success of the hotel is based on the amazing architecture and setting, certainly not it's soft touches. It was not holiday ruining stuff, as we had a good time, but we did leave disappointed.

The best aspects of this stay was the location of the resort, the facilities were great although aging.

This is certainly not a complaint although I believe the resort is aging, the room felt dusty and aged. and the sofa lounge certainly had a distinct musky smell which wasn't pleasurable to sit on.
