"Our first trip to Bali was also a milestone anniversary, so choosing the right resort was important. After extensive research, we selected Paradisus by Meliá because of its recent renovation, beachfront location, dining options, and excellent reviews—and it exceeded every expectation.
Although we arrived before the traditional welcome, we were pleasantly surprised with an early check-in and an upgrade to a Junior Suite. The thoughtful anniversary touches, including a cake, personalized card, and staff recognizing our celebration throughout our stay, made us feel truly valued.
The dining was outstanding. Malva quickly became our favorite for its incredible breakfast and dinner buffets, while Kanna, Tokimeku, and Sante were all excellent. Our private anniversary dinner at Sante was unforgettable and one of the highlights of our trip.
The resort grounds are stunning, with lush gardens, koi ponds, and a beautiful beachfront. The pool was spacious and relaxing, and we loved biking along the beachfront path connecting neighboring resorts.
A few small improvements would make an already great resort even better: restocking pastries at the café throughout the day, expanding the pool menu, improving consistency with premium lounge chair policies, and adding a dedicated resort app.
Overall, Paradisus made our anniversary incredibly special. The hospitality, beautiful property, and exceptional food created memories we’ll cherish forever. We can’t wait to return!"
