Tucked into the far hillside of Nusa Dua, the first thing you notice is the green. Then the view. I loved that the hotel is surrounded by beautiful plants, overflowing with colour. The plant tunnel that welcomed us when we got into the hotel gate definitely caught my eyes, and then the lobby! My goodness, the lobby was incredible! Fresh air blowing in from the sea, and the sheer size of it.
Terselip di lereng bukit Nusa Dua yang jauh, hal pertama yang kamu perhatikan adalah hijaunya. Kemudian pemandangan. Saya suka bahwa hotel ini dikelilingi oleh tanaman yang indah, penuh dengan warna. Terowongan tanaman yang menyambut kami ketika kami masuk ke gerbang hotel pasti menarik perhatian saya, dan kemudian lobi! Ya ampun, lobinya luar biasa! Udara segar bertiup dari laut, dan ukurannya yang raksasa.
We arrived at this hotel way too early: it was around 11 AM. We thought we could just drop off our belongings at the concierge while looking around the hotel, for the sake of killing time. We secretly hoped that they could allow us to do an early check-in, but I honestly didn’t put much hope into it. I understood that their check-in time is still a couple of hours later. It turns out our room was ready even before mid-day!
Kami tiba di hotel ini terlalu dini: sekitar jam 11 pagi. Kami pikir kami bisa menitipkan barang-barang kami di concierge sambil melihat-lihat hotel, demi menghabiskan waktu. Kami diam-diam berharap mereka dapat mengizinkan kami melakukan check-in lebih awal, tetapi sejujurnya saya tidak terlalu berharap. Saya mengerti bahwa waktu check-in mereka masih beberapa jam kemudian. Ternyata kamar kami sudah siap bahkan sebelum tengah hari!
But before that, we visited Koral restaurant for 15 minutes. We took some pictures, then we went back up to the lobby, enquiring about our room’s availability. Turns out they said they actually just sent me a message, but it was not delivered. I checked my phone and finally received their message. I guess it was because we were in the basement (Koral restaurant), and we couldn’t get a signal. It was around 11:25AM, the earliest time I’ve ever checked-in at a hotel. We only had to wait for less than 20 minutes in the end, although the receptionist informed us to wait around 45 minutes until our room was finished being cleaned. How lucky we were!
Tapi sebelum itu, kami mengunjungi restoran Koral selama 15 menit. Kami mengambil beberapa foto, lalu kami kembali ke lobi, menanyakan ketersediaan kamar kami. Ternyata mereka bilang sebenarnya mereka baru saja mengirimi saya pesan, tapi tidak diterima. Saya memeriksa ponsel saya dan akhirnya menerima pesan mereka. Saya kira itu karena kami berada di ruang bawah tanah (restoran Koral), dan kami tidak bisa mendapatkan sinyal. Saat itu sekitar pukul 11:25, waktu paling awal saya check-in di hotel. Kami hanya harus menunggu kurang dari 20 menit pada akhirnya, meskipun resepsionis memberi tahu kami untuk menunggu sekitar 45 menit sampai kamar kami selesai dibersihkan. Betapa beruntungnya kami!

(+) We absolutely loved everything about this hotel!
(-) A waiter came and gave us 2 complimentary drinks when we were at the beach, he offered 1 more extra drink for Izzy, then I said “yes, please! He then realized that he just made a mistake by offering me, he changed his mind, he apologized that he only could give 2 glasses and took back the third one that he initially offered. We were fine. That was just weird. LOL. The other thing, Pala restaurant was crowded in the morning, which is maybe why they suggested we could also eat at Reef Beach Club the next day. Nobody really tried to social distance, but that is more of a complaint about the people than the hotel.
(+) Kami benar-benar menyukai segala sesuatu tentang hotel ini!
(-) Seorang pelayan datang dan memberi kami 2 minuman gratis ketika kami berada di pantai, dia menawarkan 1 minuman tambahan untuk Izzy, lalu saya berkata “ya, tolong! Dia kemudian menyadari bahwa dia baru saja melakukan kesalahan dengan menawarkan saya, dia berubah pikiran, dia meminta maaf bahwa dia hanya bisa memberikan 2 gelas dan mengambil kembali gelas ketiga yang awalnya dia tawarkan. Kami baik-baik saja. Hanya saja hal itu aneh. Hahaha. Hal lainnya, restoran Pala ramai di pagi hari, itulah sebabnya mereka menyarankan agar kami juga makan di Reef Beach Club keesokan harinya. Tidak ada yang benar-benar mencoba menjaga jarak sosial, tetapi itu lebih merupakan keluhan tentang orang-orangnya daripada hotel.
We enjoyed the in-room dining for lunch. They were so yum!

It was a very pleasant stay; we definitely enjoyed our first 3 days in Bali at The Apurva Kempinski. Our breakfasts with Pala Restaurant and Reef Beach Club were excellent. We also really enjoyed our dinner at their other restaurants, Koral (Fine dining) and Izakaya by OKU (Japanese restaurant). We wish we could have stayed longer, however we already had our other reservation with another hotel in Seminyak. We hope to come back soon and stay a little bit longer. :)
Menginap yang sangat menyenangkan; kami benar-benar menikmati 3 hari pertama kami di Bali di The Apurva Kempinski. Sarapan kami dengan Pala Restaurant dan Reef Beach Club sangat mantab. Kami juga sangat menikmati makan malam kami di restoran mereka yang lain, Koral (Fine dining) dan Izakaya by OKU (restoran Jepang). Kami berharap kami bisa tinggal lebih lama, namun kami sudah memiliki reservasi kami yang lain dengan hotel lain di Seminyak. Kami berharap segera kembali dan tinggal sedikit lebih lama. :)
