Being smaller than a lot of the resorts in the area, it has a really nice and friendly atmosphere. Clean, beautiful and the staff are great. I’ve seen one or two reviews which talk about the food so thought I would put my thoughts across: The breakfast buffet is extensive with some changes each day.

Being smaller than a lot of the resorts in the area, it has a really nice and friendly atmosphere. Clean, beautiful and the staff are great. I’ve seen one or two reviews which talk about the food so thought I would put my thoughts across: The breakfast buffet is extensive with some changes each day. Both air-conditioned and shaded areas to choose from. The lunch buffet changes each day and has a good salad selection with a range of different noodle/rice dishes and pizza. Fresh fruit is always available and cake options change daily. The restaurant’s 24 hour menu includes local dishes as well as burgers/hotdogs/pizza etc. The evening themed buffet and entertainment was different every night and always had a good variety of choices. Sitting outside (with an under-cover option) worked really well. The Mediterranean restaurant (which you are asked to book for was also nice although the menu was a little smaller. And ice cream and waffles are available throughout the day. There wasn’t the feeling that we were always eating the same thing (although we were only there for a week) even though my son had a hot dog at least once a day because he thought it was so good. There were a couple of meal items and drinks that weren’t available to us on the ‘basic’ all-inclusive package but we didn’t feel that we missed out on anything so we didn’t upgrade. There was even a little laundry and supermarket just outside the entrance so I paid about £6 to have all our washing done before we left (absolute winner!) Lastly - the staff are lovely. It was a wonderful and restful holiday. They noticed that it was my son’s birthday whilst we were there and they decorated his room and made him a cake which was an unexpected and lovely touch. We had a week in Ubud first so we had a busy time there out and about so the Sol was about relaxing. I highly recommend a day trip to Nusa Penida in between chilling. The kids loved the paddle boards and kayaking that was included and the jet skis (which cost extra). Would absolutely go back. Read less

Great family holiday destination

We had a lovely week at the Sol Melia. The family room is absolutely huge, with a massive upstairs bedroom where our teenagers slept, a large deck, and three toilets.

We had a lovely week at the Sol Melia. The family room is absolutely huge, with a massive upstairs bedroom where our teenagers slept, a large deck, and three toilets. The pool is not as large as some resorts but very quiet. The buffet dinners with entertainment were really good. The best thing about this resort is the staff - professional and very friendly. (Special mention to Annie and Dewa in The Kitchen restaurant). The Italian restaurant was excellent and staff there also lovely. Our son is learning Bahasa, and they were so keen to speak with him and help him. The mini-bar was pretty sparce for all-inclusive, and the a la carte restaurant was slow, although the food was good. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here. Read less

Amazing holiday that will be hard to beat

We had a really enjoyable and very relaxing 2 weeks at Sol by Melia. We had some trepidation before we went, having read some negative comments on the Facebook page. We were so pleasantly surprised to find that we needn't have worried. Yes, maybe it is a little tired and some of the regulars have noticed it's gradual demise. However for our first visit to Bali we could not fault this hotel. We had a Junior Suite on the ground floor that looked onto a beautiful garden. The room was spacious and clean and the bed very comfortable. The pool was lovely and we spent many an hour in it, chatting to people and enjoying the drinks from the pool bar. The beach was nice enough, the tide goes out a long way making it very shallow but when it does come in the water was pleasant to swim in. It's a shame that, at times, there is a fair bit of plastic/rubbish in the sea but that's not the hotel's fault. We preferred to sit on the beach and then take the very short walk to the pool. The sunbeds by the pool were quite busy but we never had a problem finding one on the beach. The food was great, very tasty and a decent selection. We did find that the food was often quite cold but after mentioning this to the chef the problem was resolved the following day. The egg station at breakfast gets busy and could do with another person cooking but the omelettes were delicious. The staff at this hotel were superb. Extremely friendly and always willing to help. They could not do enough to make sure you had everything you wanted. We travel a lot and this was one of the most relaxing and comfortable hotels we've stayed in for a 2 week all-inclusive holiday. We didn't once get that "groundhog day, ready to go home now" feeling. If it wasn't for the long flight from the UK we would definitely go back but we have now ticked Bali off our list and are so happy that we chose Sol by Melia. Read less

Bali bliss

Had a fantastic stay, lovely comfortable room straight on to the garden. The staff were all friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. The food was great and lots of choice.
