Guest discussion

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

One guest says the beach bar, described as a longtime feature of the hotel, is undergoing a full renovation. They felt the disruption should have been disclosed when booking.

Discussion is limited; these accounts offer a glimpse rather than a broad verdict.

“Their beach bar always having been one of their main features it is now under full renovation. That would be fine if they disclosed that fact at booking but they don’t!”

Raffles Bali

Jimbaran, Indonesia

Beach32 roomsRomantic

Raffles Bali occupies a hillside above Jimbaran Bay, with tropical gardens running down toward the Indian Ocean. Its 32 private-pool villas give the resort a deliberately low-key scale, while a secluded beach, a 25-metre infinity pool and open-air dining keep the coast in view. Beyond the villas, guests can book Balinese-inspired spa rituals, garden walks and cultural activities. The result is a stay organized around privacy and the landscape, rather than a busy beachfront scene.

Alila Villas Uluwatu

Pecatu, Indonesia

BeachRomantic

Alila Villas Uluwatu is a 65-villa clifftop resort on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, trading as an all-villa retreat rather than a conventional hotel. Every accommodation is a private villa with its own pool, cabana, and outdoor living space, and the overall experience is defined by ocean-facing views, strong privacy, and architecture by WOHA. The property’s dramatic setting, open-plan layouts, and emphasis on environmentally sustainable design make it feel more sculptural hideaway than beach-resort strip.

Siari Riviera Nayarit, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

La Peñita de Jaltemba, Mexico

BeachCoastal

In La Peñita de Jaltemba, within Compostela municipality, Siari occupies a broad Pacific-coast setting of jungle, cliffs and beach—not Puerto Vallarta. Marriott describes the estate as 920 acres, while the hotel combines guest rooms and suites with separately presented villas, penthouses and residences. Its design draws on Wixárika traditions and local materials; the guest experience is shaped by ocean views, regional dining, wellness and outdoor activities. The setting is deliberately landscape-led, with the scale of a resort rather than a town-center hotel.
