The Ayodya Palace

Great location, one of the best beaches to swim at Nusa Dua. Short walk to a “pub street” and 10-15 min walk to Bali Collection. Staff customer is excellent. Breakfast buffet is enormous with cooked to order eggs, pastries and fruit selection.

Built in 1990 so while the rooms are large some of design is a bit tired. That said, they were very clean, room service was very prompt and the air conditioning was very good.

Lovely resort, the staff were very kind and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the Palace part of the resort. There were always sun loungers around the pool and on the beach Our a la carte breakfasts very good.

Nothing

Great facilities, old but well maintained. And amazing staff

The food could be better

We spent 5 nights in the Ayoyda Palace with our 3 and 5 years old kids. What we liked : - the spacious suite room and comfortable extra beds for our kids - the kindness of the staff - the beauty of the hotel in Balenese style, with pretty decorations and luscious tropical settings - the free bikes (including bikes with kids seats) that you can take to stroll all the front beach side, easily 45min bike ride near the beach that is super nice - good Australian wine available at the Palace every night from 6-7.30pm Note. If you stay at the Palace the food is less varied than at the main lobby breakfast buffet (where they even offer sushi’s for breakfast).

The reason we rated 7/10 is because the food quality was low and disappointing for breakfast, at all the restaurants we tried (Ayoyda grill, Waterfall restaurant), and during the appetizers and tea time of the Palace. Honestly it was a shock for us given the reviews on food are not bad. If you book this hotel for its multiple other qualities, you should go outside to have lunch and dinner. The breakfast is included though and not great except for the amazing coffee.
