Kanishka provided us with the ideal holiday in Bali! It is centrally located in Seminyak. Just walk out the door and there are all the shops, restaurants and facilities. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean. Our room came with a private pool. The staff are friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Kanishka!
This is our third time in Bali and this was by far one of the best resorts we have stayed in. The service is exceptional, the room (puri wana) was the cleanest we've come across and the breakfast was amazing. The staff is genuinely kind and helpful. They decorated our room beautifully for my husband's birthday. The views are beautiful yet it feels secluded and private.
The bungalows are lovely and very comfortable & affordable with tropical outdoor bathrooms. Each with a comfortable balcony. Good location to 2 beaches. Little restaurant & great friendly taxi… just see Koman. Nothing is too much trouble ! Highly recomend 💚
Stayed at Brits Resort Lovina in preparation for my wedding; having our WO, MUA, and Photographer coming all around our rooms. The space in the room really made us still feel comfortable even having people coming in / out our rooms. Service was great, room was immaculate despite being slightly outdated, public areas including garden, main pool, and pathway to beach were spacious, and breakfast was decent. Highlight would most probably be the Restaurant team who assisted us during breakfast. We were informed that breakfast opened at 07.00 but I needed to be up and got ready early. Therefore, I visited the breakfast restaurant at 06.30 hoping just to get some breads in preparation for my big day. Instead, they opened the buffet early for us and gave us full breakfast service. This is really appreciated. Thank you Brits Resort Lovina team and we are looking forward for our next stay.
We have recently returned from a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable 10 night vacation at Vivara Private Pool Villas & Spa Retreat in Jimbaran, Bali. Our aim was to get away from our busy life and take a complete break. The resort comprises 48 beautiful, private, self-contained pool villas, most of which are one or two-bedroom. Each villa is like your own home-away-from home, with pool decking and lounges, an alfresco kitchen bungalow (with a daily replenishment of non-alcoholic drinks in the mini bar), outdoor rain shower and bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with lounge area. It is clear that the resort aims to make every guest’s experience as comfortable as possible. As we were so comfortable in our villa, we were determined not to become complete ‘holiday recluses’ and, despite room service being the option for many of the guests, we always walked to the poolside restaurant for breakfast each morning, afternoon tea every second day, before feasting on a fabulous evening dining experience on alternate evenings. Needless to say, we did not leave Vivara hungry! The resort is like a small community, and staff are more than happy to transport you to and from your villa using golf buggies, or you can take advantage of the communal bikes and scooters and ride around the resort pathways. Additionally, a complimentary shuttle service to and from Jimbaran Beach is available, and times are customised to guests, creating a very personalised and welcome service. Being a spa retreat, we indulged in five deep tissue massages each, and they were a highlight of our stay. The private bungalows are built in a traditional Balinese style, are quiet and calming, and the masseuses provided a comfortable, relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Thank you, so much. The heart of the resort, though, is the staff. They were all, without exception, incredibly friendly, helpful, and always keen to converse and learn about their guests, or share their insights into Bali. We cannot recommend the Vivara staff highly enough. Thank you, Keke, and all your staff, for making our stay so enjoyable. We loved being immersed in the Balinese style of the resort, and Vivara did not disappoint as the ideal place for us to unwind and relax. We have no hesitation in recommending Vivara to any visitors searching for the same experience.
訪訪客Fantastically opulent architecture and gardens - a very private, quiet and beautiful resort. Everywhere you look, you could pose in highly Instagrammable ways without even trying. (If that’s what you wanted to do). There are (deliberately) ruined vine-covered stone archways, and exotic calabash trees. There are five-metre high doors, marble staircases, fish ponds… all pretty amazing as the place has only been open for about a year, and yet the 120-odd private pool villas and the gardens and trees all look like they’ve been there for a couple of decades but are beautifully fresh inside. We went up to the Akasa Restaurant terrace high on the cliff, to have drinks and nibblies and play Scrabble while watching the sunset. An absolute must do while you are staying there - it is one of the most spectacular evening cocktail spots in Bali. The Akasa restaurant Chef de Cuisine Joan Achour, has designed a delightful set of bar snacks that are very imaginative. Joan dropped by our table to see if we liked them, as apparently they were new on the menu that night, and we were the first to order them. I would also recommend the Gajah Mada cocktail, named after the famous 14th century Indonesian military leader who apparently conducted his own version of the Red Wedding on the King of Sunda. It’s made of a single malt whisky, fennel seed, Campari, and, I think, dried fig-infused red vermouth. Strong and powerfully-flavoured. On our last night, we ate at the Akasa, seated at the best table in the restaurant (the left-hand corner of the terrace) to watch the sunset. A warning about that table, however - while sun was setting, almost everyone in the place also wanted a photo of themselves from that spot, and for 15 minutes or so, we were surrounded by a crowd of couples with iPhones! Wonderful food, but be prepared for a fairly expensive bill. The whole place runs on a butler service through WhatsApp. You order room service, housekeeping, buggy pickups, etc, through WhatsApp. It works pretty well. The Pandemic and the fact it’s a new resort mean there are not yet many trained staff - the Spa in particular seemed not yet fully up to speed in its operation. All up, an interesting experience I would heartily recommend - by next season I’m sure the staff training will be fully settled in.
