I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ramada Encore in Seminyak, Bali, and I must say it was a delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, the hotel's good service was evident. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. They made me feel welcome and ensured my stay was comfortable. One of the highlights of my stay was the great restaurant (Garden Mahadewi) at Ramada Encore. The food was simply outstanding, with a wide variety of delicious dishes to choose from for breakfast or the daily unique lunch offerings and of course dinner, I found myself thoroughly enjoying every meal. Lastly, I can't forget to mention the Friday night BBQ at the restaurant. It was an absolute delight. The aroma of sizzling grilled meats and the lively atmosphere created a memorable dining experience. The food was mouthwatering, and the live entertainment added an extra touch of enjoyment to the evening. The pool at Ramada Encore was another standout feature. It is huge and fantastic, offering a serene and relaxing atmosphere with multiple pool loungers scattered all around the pool. Whether I wanted to take a refreshing dip or simply lounge by the poolside, it provided the perfect escape from the Bali heat during the day and a spectacular star gazing experience at night. The pool area was well-maintained with a fabulous garden and tranquil spaces. Overall, my stay at Ramada Encore in Seminyak, Bali was truly enjoyable. The great restaurant with its delicious food, the excellent service provided by the staff, the fantastic pool, and the delightful Friday night BBQ made it a memorable experience. While the inability to use online transport services was a minor inconvenience, it did not overshadow the overall positive experience I had. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bali.

One downside of staying at Ramada Encore was the inability to use online transport companies such as Grab. While the hotel provided alternative transportation options, it would have been more convenient to have access to these popular ride-hailing services especially when one does not have cash on hand. Local taxis however are great for day trips but sadly more expensive on the short hops into town and surroundings. Sadly there is the issue of cockroaches as well. Quite evident that my room was not the only one affected here.

Staff were incredibly friendly, buffet breakfast was great, huge swimming pool with big kids pool too

Rooms could do with some more maintenance and unfortunately we had noisy neighbour after noisy neighbour (not the hotels fault) The Taxi service they use at the front of the hotel is run by the ‘Local Taxi’ and is 5 x the price of getting Grab or GoJek. we had a private driver booked for a tour one day and the Local Taxi staff stopped our car and extorted money off us. I wish the hotel didn’t use this service! :(

Lovely and very helpful staff, miss Yuni in particular. She was my first contact at the reception desk. Even during the night hours, technical problems are solved. Great breakfast buffer facilities, lots of different food available. Swimming pool was clean and in good shape. Hotel is located strategically, nearby Canggu, Seminyak and Kuta area.

Unfortunately our room had issues with the AC turning itself off during the night (breaker circuit was active). After the staff showed me where the breaker was, this was only temporary resolved. After the second night, we were given a different Deluxe room with poolside view, which did not had any technical problems with regards to the AC.

Excellent hotel, beautiful swimming pool, large rooms and the one I stayed in had direct pool access. Amazing breakfast with extensive choices. Very good lunch & evening menus, tasty food and drink, all reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and keen to help, arrange taxis, trips etc... Nothing is too much trouble. They don't allow external taxi companies (Grab, Uber etc...) on site but you can haggle prices with the in-house drivers. Can leave luggage in secure area if checking in early or leaving late, at zero cost.

Shame the pool closed at 9pm. A little too far from town & beaches if walking.

1. Pool access from the room is awesome 2. Spacious family room with 3 bedrooms 3. Very hepful & polite front desk staffs 4. Good wifi speed 5. Clean room

1. the room has an odd smell. doesn't bother us as much 2. location is a bit far from the main road. So, you need taxi to go out. 3. the hotel doesn't allow taxi online (Grab & Gojek) to pick up guest in the area and the unofficial taxi operating on behalf of the hotel cost triple the normal rate. 4. the combination of point 2 & 3 makes it hard to go around.

Disappointed with the size of the room. on the website I didn't see an option for balcony room so our room view was not great. Children's play area was also disappointing very minimal even for toddlers. The pool could maybe have done with some float items. Breakfast was unreal, the selection of condiments, hot and cold foods were amazing. All their menus were awesome. loved our dining experience and the staff are so welcoming and friendly.

swimming pool is amazing specially for kids

The location is really far away from everything and the hotel taxis are extremely expensive and they don’t allowed outside taxis, supposedly they allow moto taxis from outside which is convenient, but when I took one, as soon as we ride off the premises. The hotel taxis drivers surrounded the bike and started threatening my driver with me on the back of bike…. they were ready to get violent and they would have kicked us off the bike if we tried to escape them! when I went back to hotel and told the staff, they tried to be kind about it but there was a laugh in there face, like saying (well you should have just taken our taxi and they said they would pass the message to manager, which I doubt they ever did)

Buffet breakfast every morning was amazing - no complaints there. Pool also amazing and nice and cold especially with the heat in Bali, the perfect place to land after shopping and travelling around the city. Room - Space was small, the bed and pillows were so uncomfortable. I had requested a double bed but got 2 single beds and it was very uncomfortable. Pillows were too soft.

We didn't like the fact we had to go to a pickup point to order a Gojek every time we needed transport, it was annoying to have to catch a ride to the pickup point which was just 2 mins away. Apparently we were told Ramada is one of 2 hotels that don't allow Gojek to go to the hotel to pick up tourists. This was annoying. But you allow Gojek to drop off customers to the lobby - this needs to change as it is unfair for the customers to have to do this.

The stuff was polite and supportive. The pool was nice the room very comfortableand and good size & view was grate if you reserve room with balcony views in pool.

Everything insides hotel was very expensive the restaurant, water, laundry, drinking...etc. waymore than other hotels we visited in bali (7 hotels)and from outside markets. E.g. 6 1. Water outside is 4 RB but inside the hotel is 12RB. 2. Message service outside 100. Inside the hotel 495. 3. Beer outside 20Rb. Inside the hotel 70. ☹☹☹☹

The hotel was fantastic and the rooms were very good.

The hotel does not allow you to book taxis from apps and this information is not mentioned by the reception desk. We were late for the airport and the hotel security forced us to get out of our taxi like a bunch of goons and forced us to get their taxi which was double the cost of a normal taxi. Very unprofessional and made us feel very scared. We loved our stay but the checkout experience was horrible.
