Alila Soori

It’s rare that my expectations are exceeded but here we are. Wonderful, engaged staff and impeccable food set in a serene environment. Regrettably, the beach is off- limits due to unsafe conditions but the views are magnificent.

Where to begin.. From the moment we were greeted at the airport, to the personalised welcome on arrival, Soori in Tabanan, Bali, is an oasis of calm and a masterclass in care. Our goal was a week of relaxation and warm air. We were lucky enough to experience a spacious villa overlooking working rice fields with spectacular sunrises behind the distant volcano; as well, an Ocean beach view villa with expansive views of the Indian ocean and the gorgeous display as the sun set behind the crashing waves onto sparkling black volcanic sand. Francesca and Benoit are consummate hosts, regularly checking in and ensuring all is well. The rooms are spacious and considered with special personal touches throughout. Food options include: Western a la carte, Asian a la Carte as well, a fun Tepanyaki experience on a hill with magnificent coastal views. The entire staff contribute to the beautiful feeling that is Soori. We thank them all, sincerely for their work and care, always with a smile. We feel refreshed and look forward to returning again one day.

Our 10th visit to this little piece of paradise on earth and every visit gets better. Benoit as acting GM has the hotel running very smoothly and his team never fail to surprise us with their kindness and attention to detail. Special thanks to Sri for making our favorite specials in the kitchen, to Ayu , Pendit and Mila for looking after us in the restaurant and to Susi our host who is the best host we ever experienced in our extensive world wide travels. @ Benoit please ensure that our comments in this review are known by the staff mentioned above. See you all again next year>
