Балі Індонезія

We just returned from an amazing 16-day stay with our family of four, and we already miss it! Club Med Bali is a beautiful, luxurious resort with stunning views over the water and a gorgeous beach. Our rooms were lovely and cleaned to perfection every single day.

A huge shoutout to the incredible staff who made our stay so special:

• Chef de Village Yousri – such a warm welcome and always a big smile!
• Jaka (tennis) – great lessons and lots of patience
• Zee and Oka (golf) – thank you for the fun sessions
• Samuel (watersports) – thank you for the great sessions on the water
• The Circus Team(Jeremy, Graham, Marie, Daniel, Anas, Ami) – you guys are simply amazing, what a show and what energy!
• Hanza (aqua gym) – always up for a nice chat, made every session fun
• Laurenzo at the bar – great drinks and even better company
• Retna– always ready for a lovely conversation, thank you for that
• Samuel (dance lessons) – thank you for the fun moves and great energy!
• Abdel and Hans (Teens Club) – our teens had a blast, thank you for taking such good care of them

We also loved the new show, "Beauty of Eden" – absolutely beautiful, with the most stunning costumes! And the 4x4 excursion to the volcano was a real highlight of our trip.

Thank you to the entire Club Med Bali team for such a wonderful, memorable family holiday. We'll definitely be back!

While I was satisfied with most of the GOs, I feel I must specifically praise Jaka, the tennis coach. His patient and effective teaching approach made learning basic techniques easy and sparked my interest in tennis. He even made me eager to wake up early on vacation :)

Had a fantastic time overall at beautiful Club Med Bali. The resort is impeccably maintained with lush gardens, clean facilities, and fun activities for all ages. The staff throughout the resort were tireless, warm, and professional, and absolutely one of the best parts of Club Med!

The one drawback however is the policy for those with dietary restrictions, which is for these guests to meet the Head Chef to go through the buffet before every meal... of every day. As a coeliac I fully understand the complexities around food safety and I truly appreciated how courteous the chefs were when they were clearly extremely busy during meal service. But this process of having to find and interrupt them before every single meal made me feel like a big imposition and a waste of their time considering they'd have to do this same thing over and over with other guests. This definitely isn't a criticism of the staff (who were fantastic) or the food I could have (also fantastic), but rather a suggestion for Club Med to rethink the approach across resorts. A few simple changes could make a big difference, such as:

• Adding allergen labels (e.g. GF, VEG, DF, NF) to their dish placards (preferred), or
• Providing guests with the menu plan for the week ahead, so people can guide themselves.

I hope this is a relatively simple improvement (for both staff and guests) that can be considered, as I’d love to return to Club Med in the future. In the meantime, hopefully this feedback is useful for others with dietary needs.

We recently returned to Club Med Bali for the first time in almost 10 years, and it was great to see that the resort still offers the warm and relaxing atmosphere we remembered.

The rooms are showing their age, but they have been well maintained. One thing we really appreciated was the dehumidifier in the room—it made a big difference in Bali's humid climate and kept the room comfortable throughout our stay.

Without a doubt, the highlight of our holiday was the daily tennis sessions. Lee is an amazing G.O.—friendly, funny, patient, and passionate about tennis. He didn't just organize the games; he actually took the time to correct my technique and shared plenty of practical tips that helped improve my shots. Every session was enjoyable, and I genuinely looked forward to playing each day. If you're visiting Club Med Bali, don't miss the tennis activities. Even if you're not an experienced player, Lee will make sure you have a fantastic time.

The only downside during our stay was the dining experience. We understood that the resort was still recovering from the recent restaurant fire, and we could clearly see how hard all the staff were working to serve meals outdoors under challenging conditions. While the food quality was still good, the selection was more limited than what we remembered from previous visits, and the menu became a little repetitive day after day. As a thoughtful gesture, the resort offered us a complimentary late check-out, which we really appreciated.

Overall, despite the temporary challenges, we had a wonderful holiday. The excellent G.O. team, especially Lee, made our stay memorable, and we look forward to coming back again when the restaurant is fully restored.
