Hi Elissa, Sent via email May 2013
We Loved Anantara, obliging Happy smiling staff, go out of their way to help, food great, pool well appointed over looking the beach, great views from our suite, bathroom & dressing room very large, well designed, we could sit up in bed see the waves rolling on to the beach.
Anantara close to shopping in Seminyak, we travelled with My Bali to Ayana 2 years ago loved this Resort also so we made a day trip to Ayana we enjoyed.
The service from My Bali Holidays is flawless everything runs like clock work effortless certainly made our holiday, on returning home whilst waiting in the business lounge, we run into a old friend George & his wife, they had also travelled with My Bali to Ayana their 1st time to Bali they also loved every minute and spoke how great the transfers & Hotel Resorts were.
The weather was perfect beautiful hot sunny days, thank you Elissa for organizing everything, I give you 11 out of 10! Is that allowed?
We have told many friends how great our Holiday with My Bali is, everything done for you, No Worries.
Kind Regards

Good afternoon, Sent via email May 2012
Sadly, today we head back to Perth after a fantastic holiday at the Ayana Resort in Jimbaran. From the initial bookings via Gil at the My Bali Queensland office things have flowed smoothly. The staff from My Bali arranged a quick transfer through customs and immigration on arrival and we arrived at the resort in quick time. Ayu, would you please pass this on to the Queensland My Bali team?
Wow what a lovely resort!
We spent our first 6 days in a club room. Everything we needed was on hand and the team at the club lounge were wonderful. We then upgraded to a villa which added a fantastic flavor to our last 4 days at the resort. Ten wonderful days in all and we cannot but recommend the resort to anyone wishing to have a great relaxing Bali resort holiday. We did venture out of the resort on a few occasions but just for some shopping before returning to our quiet home away from home.
We experienced some wonderful service from the Ayana resort team and we want to mention a few. Please note, there were so many that we will do an injustice to some by leaving out their names. These are some that especially touched us with their care and service.
We start with the team at the club lounge and at the concierge desk. We think in particular of Janus, Gy Adi, Wayan, Tangkas, and the lovely Sari and Puspa. All of them and their club team made our stay at Ayana a very special one.
We also would like to thank our butlers whilst at the villa, especially Widastra, who arranged some wonderful special moments for us. The flower arranged love hearts in the bedroom were a special touch that will be long remembered. The team at the Kisik restaurant are special and is was great to be remembered by them days later whilst wandering around the resort.
Special memories too we will have from the team at Dava. They spoilt us for our last 4 days and wrote us a nice farewell card which was a lovely touch. Dharma at the martini bar brightened up our evenings with some of his unique humour and delightful cocktails.
We would have no hesitation in recommending the Ayana to our family and friends and hope to be back soon,
With our Warmest regards and thanks

Wow - What a holiday.
Firstly, the airport service provided by My Bali is fantastic - someone to meet you almost as soon as you get off the aircraft; no confusion about what, when and where to pay; no waiting in immigration queues... I'm pretty sure we were in our hotel before some people were out of the airport! The return was just as good - private car from the hotel, someone took us straight to the front of the queue for checkin, straight through immigration and into the departure lounge... I cannot imagine that this would be allowed to happen in Australia, but it sure made it easy in Bali!
Secondly Ayana Resort:
I have stayed in quite a few hotels in my time, but none compare to the facilities, grounds, service and friendliness of staff at Ayana. We arrived on Wednesday and spent a few hours next to the pool. By Thursday, most of the staff were addressing us by name - they had taken a photo of us when we checked in and placed it in the staff area so people could learn who we were!!! Aside from breakfast, we didn't eat at any of the restaurants more than once in our seven nights, except the cliff side seafood restaurant, because that was just too good. Each restaurant served its own style of food, and not one of the was below excellent.
Our son had his Birthday there and the staff helped us organise a surprise cake which was ready for us on our return from a day out. A number of staff came and sang Happy Birthday to him by the pool, which he loved. Then when we returned to our room, we had a second surprise Birthday Cake with a card signed by about 20 staff!!
Many thanks to yourself in helping recommend and organise our holiday - I can't imagine not using My Bali for our next trip back to Ayana.
Kind regards,

Just letting you know what an amazing trip we had to Bali last month & it was all thanks to you! Everything went according to plan, the My Bali contacts were very helpful and assisted us with booking tours from the My Bali voucher book. The wedding we attended was just beautiful with the sun setting as the couple said their vows. Now as for the Ayana Resort, what an absolutely fabulous place. The staff couldn't do enough for us, the food was out of this world as we chose a different restaurant in the resort to dine in each night. Now since we loved it so much we would like to go back next June. Can you see if we could get the same deal at Ayana: 7 nights in an ocean view room (could be up to 10), flights, $1000.00AUD/room, breakfast etc, etc? I really appreciate you doing this for us, you truly are the travel agent extraordinaire!!

We wish to thank you for the wonderful holiday we experienced at the Conrad Bali.
The arrangements and Concierge Service were amazing. We have never been so well looked after in all of our previous travels.
The weather was perfect, a balmy 27 to 28 degrees each day with a delightful sea breeze and our room overlooking the lagoon always had a perfect view, from the fun of people enjoying the pleasure trips on the lagoon to the many weddings occurring in the beautiful grounds, to the children enjoying the delightful pools.
The Resort was in pristine condition, the staff all with beaming smiles and being of the utmost assistance.
The accommodation was extremely comfortable with a pleasant window seat overlooking the sea and a balcony looking down onto the grounds and pool area.
There was even free Wi-Fi in the Reception and Pool Area with charged internet in the rooms.
We enjoyed the meals, the breakfast buffet being extensive and entertainment at dinner time.
Thank you for your attention to detail, this holiday ticked all the boxes. With many happy memories,
The Honourable

Hi Fiona, Sent via email July 2011
I haven't had a chance to write to you since our return from Bali last week (hit the ground running) but now want to take a few minutes to thank you and the whole MyBali team. We travel a lot and have never booked a package such as this one as I like to do my own research and reservations but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Everything was wonderful (and a bargain to boot!) The Garuda flights were definitely "full service" (even have inscreen videos now), the arrival and departure assistance and lounge were very welcome and the properties (and extras) were great. The Ayana Resort & Spa is truly beautiful and we were lucky to have a couple of days there. The Semara Resort & Spa was a pleasant hotel - not sure I would call it a resort- with huge well-appointed rooms and a great spa. The staff were very kind and tried their best to assist where necessary (though there were a few incidents of miscommunication). Teething problems like wi- fi problems were dealt with as soon as possible. The opening special that we were fortunate to participate in meant that we ate, drank and indulged at no extra cost. The location is excellent when dining out / shopping. All in all we had a wonderful relaxing holiday and have recommended your company to anyone willing to listen.
Thank you again

Hi Hayley, Sent via email July 2011
We thought the Semara Resort & Spa was fantastic. The rooms are a great size and the rooms upstairs (where we were) have a really good sized balcony with a daybed and table and 2 chairs. The pool is long enough to do laps in (which people were doing in the morning, they even put in lane markers) and the lounges and covered day beds at the end of the pool are really big and comfortable. I think the spa is probably the best I have been to in a hotel - amazing! I did the yoga class one morning and it was excellent, as was the gym (nothing like brand new equipment). I thought the breakfast was excellent and the staff are all delightful. The resort is in a great position for all the great Seminyak restaurants and shopping. The only drawback for me is that I would prefer to be on the beach but that is just a personal preference. Thank you again, we had a great holiday and would definitely book through the holiday centre again and recommend you to friends.

Hi Hayley, Sent via email July 2011
Enjoyed the trip, thank you very much. All transfers went smoothly. Semara Resort & Spa was very nice, room, food and ambience perfect. Used the My Bali tour day to do the cultural tour, monkey park etc. Highly recommend " The Bridges Restaurant". Also did the Uluwatu tour. We got on really well with Kardek our driver to the point where we requested him for our second drive. He was very pleased when we insisted that we pay for and that he join us at both restaurants. Loved the walk along the beach from Semara to Discovery Mall. Unfortunately we only had two cloudless sunsets but we managed to catch both with dinners on the beach. Shopped, haggled, ate, drank and even caught the last quarter demolition of Carlton by the West Coast Eagles's, even sweeter as we were sitting next to die hard Melbournite Carlton supporters. So in summary a great (but too short) holiday and made even better by the planning of My Bali. Thanks again for following up Hayley and I am sure that we will contact you for our next o/s trip. If My Bali has an electronic mail out please add my address to the list.

Hi Kerri sent on June 18, 2010
Just a quick note to say Thank You for your work & effort in arranging our trip, it was much appreciated. Everything went perfectly & Ayu - the Balinese My Bali representative was lovely. The MY Bali package inclusions especially the assistance at the airport were great.
In terms of feedback on the Ayana Resort and Spa , we thought it was simply the best hotel that we have stayed at (and we are selective, having travelled at least once or twice every year for the last 20 years). For us, location, ambiance, sophistication without pretentiousness, the beauty of/ immaculate grounds, villa - large, beautiful tasteful décor, light; the pools, kids club, restaurants & bars were superb. For us looking to relax and re charge the batteries it was absolutely wonderful. Its own little arcadia. In addition the staff were incredible, genuinely friendly but not intrusive , helpful, smart, well trained, knew their jobs, great attention to detail, could speak English fluently (we don't expect this and are not so western centric to think this should be the case but it is wonderful when you get it) and just made our trip effortless and a delight. I can only add that we loved it so much, we extended our trip for an additional two days & we have never done this before.
Many thanks,

Just a short note to thank you and all the My Bali staff for our recent stay at Ayana Resort & Spa.
Unexpectedly, we were upgraded to a villa for our first 10 days thanks to your Bali Rep Ayu, which was fantastic.
The Ayana provides service second to none and over 30 years of holidaying in Bali we feel it is the best Bali has to offer.
The express arrival and departure service is brilliant and takes away the worst aspects of a Bali holiday.

Hi sent in March 2011
I apologise for the delay in sending you this e-mail. My family and I travelled to the Ayana resort in January for 9 nights with My Bali....it was fantastic!
The service, facilities, experience, luxury and inclusions were beyond our expectations. Often when there are inclusions the way that they are described is certainly not what you get. This was not the case at Ayana with My Bali. The escort through customs and immigration was smooth and quick, transport was on time, clean, courteous and spoke good English.
In regards to the discount vouchers, my previous experience is that those things are a farce....not with My Bali, they are genuine and truly represent real cost savings. The booking process to organise these things was also very smooth, we had one contact in Bali and she booked everything. On no occasion was there a hitch, everything ran like clockwork.
The bonus of the Premier Lounge prior to departure was fantastic - we even took the opportunity to have one last foot massage.
We are now My Bali converts. We raved about it so much when we got home that one of our friends booked to go to Ayana straight away, and lucky for them, they are there right now.
Your company should be commended. Every part of the holiday was superb and represented fantastic value for money.
Congratulations to the Holiday Centre Team.

We are back from our trip to Bali and I just wanted to let you know that it was fantastic. It was our 12th trip to Bali and easily our best to date.
Everything went smoothly and the Westin Resort was just amazing. Obviously beautiful but the level of service we received pushed it to another level. Extremely efficient and friendly at all times. We upgraded to the "Beach Club" and it was worth every cent and more. We cannot recommend the Westin Resort highly enough. We have told some of our friends about it and one family is going to make a booking in the next couple of weeks and another family is seriously considering it.
We actually liked it so much we are considering going back for my "milestone" birthday end of July, early August. Can you please advise if there are any similar packages for that time? Thank you for organising our holiday for us. It was the first time I had booked a holiday package over the internet so I was a little nervous about how it would all work but it turned out great. If you can let me know about availabilty in July/August I would appreciate it.

We wish to pass on our gratitude for arranging an extraordinary holiday to Bali.
The Westin Resort was absolutely amazing, even with renovations going on, and the service was great.
The island has so much to see and do but the time was so short to fit all the things we wanted to do in 10 days but we had some fantastic tours with a local driver.
Thank you for the last minute arrangement of the airport transfers, it went off without a hitch. It gave us some worries from the previous night to departure but the Westin Resort were more than willing to provide the service at no charge to us after sighting our itinerary. Can you please keep us informed of any future specials for the Westin around the same time next year? If they are still available, we would not hesitate to return again. A big thank you once again to The Holiday Centre and yourself!

Wow!!!!
Janine and I returned last Saturday from Ayana Resort and the best and most relaxing holiday I have ever had - and that's saying something after 22 years working for an airline!
The Resort and facilities were first class and we will definitely be contacting you to book there again!
Airport arrival procedures were 'ordinary' and there were some people arriving on other airlines that had been waiting in queues for some hours and were quite 'upset' when the 'VIP escort service' tried to move us up the line a bit - some other people (on our flight) were using a similar VIP service and there was a bit of a verbal 'altercation' from those already in line - resulting in us queuing up as per 'normal' - this should perhaps be looked at? Similarly, on arrival at the airport for our departure there was no-one around to help (was there supposed to be?)
The transfers to and from the Ayana were fantastic and on time (with very welcome air conditioning).
Apart from the 'airport stuff' which, to some extent, is outside anyone's control as it's Government run, I can only again remark on the spectacular Ayana Resort.
An Ocean View Villa was definitely the place to be - the personal butler service (great for booking restaurants) and private plunge pool / courtyard was sensational. Janine particularly liked the outdoor shower - I think she would have one installed at home if there was room (and privacy!).
Thank you for your assistance and recommendation of the Ayana Resort - we can know completely understand why you love this property too.
Please feel free to keep us informed when similar (or the same) 'special offer' for Ayana is available - the $1000 credit was great - we actually had a bit left at the end!
It's tough trying to get back into work again...

This is to confirm that I have received and read the paperwork for our Bali holiday and everything is "Ship shape and Bristol fashion" which is an old and self explanatory naval term.
I mention this because the bulk of my dealings with travel agencies have usually been beset with mistakes, confusion and sometimes sudden and unannounced "Extras"
I would therefore like to commend you on your swift responses, and doing what you said you would, promptly and in a most friendly manner. Thank you for your efficiency.

Hi Fiona sent in 2010
I thought you might appreciate some feedback from a recent customer of your 'My Bali' holidays.
Wow! You guys really know how to do it. I have never had a holiday before where everything was so smoothly taken care of - from the time we arrived in Denpasar to the time we left again 21-days later. The meet-and-greet, immigration expediting, ground transfers, VIP lounge on departure, etc all worked like a charm.
With regard to the hotels, we were just as pleased. Our first stay was ten nights at Laguna (Nusa Dua) and this is a great facility. Perhaps the only constructive criticism would be the limited choice of eating venues and the overall cost of meals. We found we quickly consumed our allowance and would have preferred more a la carte (versus buffet) options. The staff were excellent and the facilities (especially the pools) were superb.
Then there was Ayana. What an experience! I have travelled extensively and would have to say it was the best holiday I have ever had. The level of service was unparalleled and every member of staff was so attentive it was amazing. We could not fault the venue or the staff - on the contrary we have nothing but praise.
We will be booking again for an Ayana holiday next year, so keep us in mind when you have some good deals on offer. We even know which villa we want next time!
Thanks again for organising our best-ever holiday!

Hi Natalie sent in 2010
Just thought I would drop you a quick line to let you know how the trip went.
What can I say other than it was Amazing!!!!
Thankyou first of all to you for sorting it all out and to all your staff in Bali - we were greeted and whisked through the airport and to our hotel with smiles and it was all very well organised. The resort - was everything I'd hoped for, read about and much much more. It really is wonderful. Heaven on Earth!!! Our room was beautiful with lovely views over the gardens and the ocean.
Every single thing about the Resort was 5 star and then some... the staff were all attentive, polite, happy and cheerful. Everywhere was spotless, and breathtakingly beautiful. We weren't supposed to check in until 3pm but our room was ready at 11am.
We paid for breakfast the first day but when I realised we wouldn't be able to have breakfast on the last day as we were being picked up at 6am they quite happily deducted the first breakfast off our bill. They also knocked 20% off the food and drinks bought in the restaurants and the Rock Bar off the bill for paying with American Express (I had read that on Trip Advisor and thought I'd ask when we were checking out). We were very lucky with the weather - it rained only a couple of times - when we were either getting ready for dinner or before we got up one morning.
We used 3 of the vouchers from the book - 2 for the 3 hour treatments and one for the car and driver. The treatments were heavenly - so we went back and had another!!! The pick up to return home was on time and the departure lounge at Denpasar was a lovely way to end our break. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!!
We look forward to our next trip - please keep us informed of any deals or specials you might have.
Kindest Regards

"Little piece of paradise" AYANA Resort and Spa
Perth, Australia Jun 7, 2010 | Trip type: Couples Booked with My Bali, very last minute , like 5 days prior. They offered a package including VIP transfers (great local staff meet you at arrivals and whisk you through immigration to your smart clean car and on to resort, same at return including food and drink in VIP lounge) and $1000.00 food and beverage credits for use at any of the resort bars and restaurants ( I thought this a bit suspect at first, but it is what it is, a genuine $1000.00 credit). From the minute we arrived the staff were exceptionally friendly, well trained and helpful. The rooms were very smart and clean with comfortable beds (ours was a four poster) LCD tv, Bose bedside iPod station and stylish furnishings. The balcony view was drop dead gorgeous looking over tropical gardens to a sweeping seascape. The several pools were spotless, with plenty of loungers and sunshades. Food at all venues was very good, breakfast (included with our package) was a hot and cold buffet with European and Asian fair, plenty of good coffee, the Dava restaurant was very special and delicious. My only negative comment was our anniversary meal at the Japanese restaurant Honzen, very disappointing, overpriced, average quality (have had much better at a fraction of the cost in Melbourne) and almost zero ambience. That aside, it is a most beautiful resort, we definitely will go back.
