Massive
resort
split
into
3
distinct
sub
hotels
with
Segara
being
the
newest,
Ayana
the
OG,
and
Rimba
technically
meant
to
be
most
kid
friendly.
The
resortās
location
is
quite
far
from
most
things
being
south
of
the
airport,
with
Seminyak
about
40
min
by
car,
Canggu
about
1.5h
by
car.
Segara
has
very
modern
decor
-
think
Japanese
meets
Balinese.
Beds
are
comfy,
water
pressure
decent.
Overall
feels
semi-luxury
but
I
wouldnāt
put
it
in
the
same
category
as
Intercontinental
for
example
(which
is
the
same
price
range).
Service
is
very
warm,
but
sometimes
too
āpresentā.
With
resorts
sometimes
you
almost
want
service
to
be
omnipresent
rather
than
in
front
of
you.
Also
staff
could
be
better
trained
to
actually
be
helpful
for
any
problems
that
need
solving
(quite
a
common
SE
Asia
resort
problem
eg
in
Danang,
Hua
Hin,
Phuket,
etc).
Rimbaās
facilities
looked
great,
adults
and
kids
pool
separate.
Breakfast
views
excellent
were
to
die
for.
Food
quality
seems
to
be
better
than
the
other
2
options
too.
Ayana
is
the
OG,
which
means
a
bit
more
dated.
Breakfast
was
quite
mediocre
there.
Looked
like
many
people
having
fun
in
the
infinity
pools.
The
shops
were
a
nice
touch
-
felt
like
I
was
almost
in
European
boutiques.
Not
cheap
though.
Rock
Bar
was
the
biggest
failure
in
my
opinion.
Very
hyped
up,
lots
of
people
lining
up
to
take
photos
and
to
visit.
Reservations
are
a
must.
Prices
are
sky
high
(my
negroni
pictured
was
about
US$19
including
tax),
a
Coca
Cola
would
set
you
back
US$11.
Quality
of
the
drink
was
rather
mediocre
(if
you
want
to
charge
NYC
Manhattan
price
for
cocktails,
at
least
have
a
proper,
cold
large
ice
cube
rather
than
one
from
a
mould
with
a
hole).
Cup
was
barely
at
the
halfway
mark
which
just
doesnāt
feel
right
(you
can
use
a
smaller
cup
if
so).
I
would
recommend
a
singular
visit,
or
just
take
some
photos
and
move
on.
Nothing
like
the
ātop
Asia
barā
as
advertised.
Overall
Ayana
is
a
beautiful
resort
for
those
looking
at
a
all-in-one
place
experience.
Plenty
of
restaurants,
facilities,
etc,
which
will
keep
you
busy
for
at
least
3-4
days.
Expect
very
high
international
prices,
however.
A
regular/mediocre
meal
would
set
you
back
about
US$50-80/person.
Which
is
quite
untypical
for
Bali
(even
at
high
end
restaurants
on
the
rest
of
the
island).
The
charm
of
the
resort
does
grow
on
you
though.
Itās
quiet
and
tucked
away
from
the
bustle
of
Seminyak.
