The Bali ambiance is perfect at this hotel. Super calm and romantic. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The highlight was the view from our private balcony onsen. Food was great and plentiful with a lot of variety each night.

We booked with dinner and breakfast. Everything was yummy and presentation was amazing. The ambient of the hotel is nice, however it feels more Thai theme rather than Japanese. Also, the plastic fake plants by the onset tub in the room really doesn't fit with the beautiful cherry blossom on the mountains.
