Spa Village Resort Tembok, Bali

We enjoyed a relaxing few days at the Spa Village. After a long car journey, we really appreciated the foot scrub and shoulder massage on arrival. Although on the smaller side, the Spa Village has plenty to offer. We loved the massages that were included each day, and the therapists were brilliant at working around our sunburn and providing aloe vera to help us out. You would expect the massages at a Spa hotel to be good but somehow they exceeded our expectations as they were so relaxing and professional! Each day there were several activities to get involved in, and we particularly enjoyed the yoga, the tai chi, and the stargazing in the pool. As we were on our honeymoon, we were also offered a blessing by the local priest which was a really special experience right on the seafront. The hotel did also suggest day trips/activities further afield, but as we’d already done some of these before coming to the Spa Village, we stayed on site for the days we were there. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and well kept. The room was clean and spacious, and we loved the little notes from housekeeping each morning and evening. We enjoyed the food and there was a good variety on the menu across the days we were there. The only feedback we would have for the hotel is to try and ensure more people get involved with the brilliant activities on offer as sometimes we had completely private activities. If you are visiting the hotel make sure you make the very most of the fantastic itinerary on offer. We would definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a relaxing stay.

The best experience we have ever had! We came to spa village for our honeymoon we were literally treated like royalty. All staff knew our name from the moment you arrived they are all so helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. Singapore airlines unfortunately lost all our luggage for our first 4 days at the resort and the staff provided us with traditional clothes they have on site and sandals so we could enjoy the stay. They rang the airline for us multiple times each day till our luggage arrived. We had a 50 minute treatment daily which was so lovely, the therapists were so kind and friendly. After each massage you get a small warm cleansing drink much I really liked. The Balinese massage was our favourite! The resort has one restaurant which changes its menu daily. The lunch and the breakfast menu stayed the same but the evening was always different. You even get surprise courses each day too. Only small bites but always so tasty! The menu for dinner is small and all traditional Balinese food so very authentic. My husband has a nut allergy and this was a little bit of an issue, not all serving staff could speak the best English/ understand exactly what you meant. The majority did! There was a few times that we were served nuts within dishes after telling the serving staff daily he was allergic. A few members of the serving staff spoke amazing English and understood that nuts were a no no but the lady taking your order who speaks great English isn’t the person serving you the food . So there must be some crossed wires there. He doesn’t have a severe nut allergy but I would be very careful if you do! I had to try all his dishes first and check if there was any nuts in them. It was mainly an issue if there wasn’t a physical nut on the plate as in if the dessert was pistachio flavoured or peanut sauce. But if there was an obvious nut like in granola they understood that that couldn’t be served. We stayed in the pool villa so had a private pool, we never actually used the main pool because of this. Everyone at the resort tended to spend their days by the main pool but as the resort only has 30 rooms it was never too busy. The main pool has a stargazing experience each night where you can get on a float and look up at the stars, we really enjoyed this, it was so beautiful. The resort is so quiet! It’s mainly couples there so never noisy. The only noise we ever heard was the hotel next door which are really loud at night, we could easily sleep through it but this hotel isn’t exactly close to spa resort so they must have their music really loud for us to hear it. It’s mainly the thudding of the beats than the words of the songs we could hear. The spa resort provides you with an itinerary of your stay that you can stick to or change. It really helped us plan our stay. A lot of people don’t tend to go out and do the experiences but we did. We went out of the sunset cruise which is just on the beach in front of the resort this was so beautiful

Excellent resort which is extremely peaceful, being located in a quiet part of Bali and which has a small number of rooms keeping the guest count small. Also, kids are not allowed so that adds to the peace. The pool area was nice and chairs/cabanas were always available. The beach is rocky but definitely swimmable. The food was delicious though a bit small in portions. Rooms were perfectly comfortable. Lots of helpful staff and the included spa treatments added to the experience. There are a few excursions the hotel can arrange which was convenient. Only reason I can't give 5 stars is the long and grueling drive to and from the airport! It is 3-4 hours of traffic, bumps, road-sickness etc, so just be prepared for that. But maybe that's the only way you can get peace on Bali!
