Pelangi Bali Hotel & Spa

“Good Balinese style resort.”

The resort is in a great central location with easy access to the beach and shops/restaurants etc. Our room was clean and the service/staff were excellent. Great pool, although very crowded sunbed area. Breakfast buffet was fine, although not as wide a selection we’ve experienced at other resorts in Bali. The resort could do with some TLC, but overall we had a relaxing time and enjoyed our time here.

“Warm Balinese Hospitality”

Balinese people are gentle, warm, welcoming and ever so friendly. The hotel exudes these qualities and charm through its staff that are an asset to the hotel.

Balinese people are gentle, warm, welcoming and ever so friendly. The hotel exudes these qualities and charm through its staff that are an asset to the hotel. Their welcome drink at check-in was an example. We experienced a hiccup on check in. In their registry it showed 2 adults checking in. Our hotel confirmation showed 2 adults + 1 child. After the check-in staff consulted with reservations, it was fine. Originally she thought we had underpaid. Make sure you bring your proof of reservation on phone or paper! This did marr the stay a bit. My daughter fell sick during our stay. She had a terrible runny nose. When I called reception at 4am to ask for another box of tissues, they were very obliging and brought it to our room. Thank you! Housekeeping staff were very efficient with daily service of the room. On our 1st day we went to breakfast and returned to a tidy room 40mins later. This totally surprised us. This happened everyday during our stay. You can access the beach from the back of the hotel (near pool). It’s not a private beach. If you walk along the beach, you can reach Seminyak Square (couple of turns later). It’s lovely to walk and sit on the beach during sunset- gorgeous! Lots of people do it. You can access lots of restaurants from the beach side. Menu items are inexpensive. In the evening, neighbouring bars and restaurants puts out beanbags in the beach for their patrons, some offering entertainment like fire dance, live music. It’s a happening area! Their breakfast buffet selection offers a choice of pastries, breads, local foods, salads, egg station service, fruits & juice. All tasty. The restaurant staff were very obliging when we had an early morning tour, they gave us boxes to pack pastries, given we were too early for breakfast. The pool has a beverage service/ bar. Gets popular & busy! There’s shallow end for young kid and deep end (2 meters) for the older kids. The hotel offers a free shuttle service to Seminyak Square & Kuta Square. You need to request for it 24hrs ahead and make your own transport back to the hotel. Suggest Grab taxi services (choose Grab-car)- reasonable price. Outside the hotel, at the back, just before the beach. There are some ladies (Sumi & friends) that provide massages, pedicures, braiding etc. They are friendly & their prices are negotiable. The older lady (hair in a bun) that walks with a limp/ walking stick provides really good massages. Strong fingers! Sumi does too. It’s a personal preference. Try both ladies! It’s an easy hotel choice to return to when back in the Seminyak area.

“Pleasant but not outstanding”

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Good breakfast selection with reasonable coffee, but the juices were too sweet for my liking. Our room was spotlessly clean, spacious enough with a conformable king size bed. The water is undrinkable and had a salty taste (similar to my salt water pool) as … more

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Good breakfast selection with reasonable coffee, but the juices were too sweet for my liking. Our room was spotlessly clean, spacious enough with a conformable king size bed. The water is undrinkable and had a salty taste (similar to my salt water pool) as well as being extremely hard. I had to use their shower gel to wash myself as soap would not lather at all. There are lots of steps in the property and sadly no lift, so it is unsuitable for wheelchairs, kids in prams or those less mobile. The hotel's exchange rate was acceptable - at the time RP9,800 compared to RP10,000 on the street to A$1. Much safer to change foreign currency at the hotel as some of the 'official currency exchange' places were very dishonest and would try to 'fleece' the unsuspecting tourist. The hotel is situated across a narrow street from the beach...it was not too busy but you did have to be careful when crossing the street as the motor bikes travelled at speed on that street. There were many restaurants along the beach and on the main road. Food choice at the hotel, and most restaurants was ok, but very repetitive with most restaurants having a similar but limited menu. It did get a bit boring after two weeks there food wise. The pool was excellent.

The location is great an older hotel in need of some repairs and maintenance. Very basic rooms but clean and comfortable enough. The restaurant is basic but does a reasonable buffet for breakfast, Pool is excellent, clean and deep in places. In the main the guest seem to be from Australia. The main photo posted on Tripadvisor is a misleading as this hotel has no presence on the beach. I didn't like the beach. Not good for swimming and smelly at times
