Le M\u00e9ridien Bali Jimbaran<\/a><\/strong> is an ideal hotel for families and couples. The setting is impressive, with a saltwater lagoon as the centerpiece and meticulously tended gardens.<\/p>\n

Located less than 30 minutes from the airport, it’s the perfect place to start or end your stay on the island of Bali<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=”0″ images=”388521,388533″ img_size=”large” onclick=”” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Le M\u00e9ridien Bali Jimbaran – Booking” el_id=”le_m_ridien_bali_jimbaran_-_booking”][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

Bali<\/a> (and Southeast Asia<\/a> in general) is a great place to indulge in luxury at a fraction of the price. Quality standards are high, staff are attentive and rates are low.<\/p>\n

For example, the Aqua Studio Suite at this hotel is available from IDR 2,800,000<\/span> (approx. CAD 230). A real bargain for a room with direct access to the pool!<\/p>\n

However, it is not possible to book this suite with points. I had paid for my first night in cash, then used 60,000 points against two nights in a regular room.<\/p>\n

At check-in, thanks to my Gold status and due to the hotel’s low occupancy, my reservation was changed at no charge so that I could stay all three nights in the Aqua Studio suite.<\/p>\n

Le M\u00e9ridien Bali is located in Jimbaran, a region on the southern tip of the island of Bali. The Jimbaran area is very close to Denpasar airport, about 20 minutes by cab or Grab (Southeast Asia’s equivalent of Uber). For this reason, I recommend Jimbaran to start or end your stay in Bali.<\/p>\n

I spent the first three nights of my trip in this hotel, which was perfect for resting after the long flights from Montreal.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n[vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

There are also a few beaches in the area, including Pantai Muaya very close to the hotel. Apart from the beaches, there aren’t many interesting activities or visits in Jimbaran. I recommend spending a few nights at the hotel to enjoy the pool, then heading to Uluwatu, Canggu or Ubud to continue your vacation.<\/p>\n

Around the hotel, you’ll find two ATMs that don’t charge fees for foreign cards. I was able to withdraw Indonesian rupiahs with my Wise card<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are also a few charcoal-grilled seafood restaurants overlooking the beach. It’s a great place to watch the sunset.<\/p>\n

A concierge greets you at the bottom of the property. After verifying that you have a reservation, a member of staff will take you by carriage to the lobby. A bellman will then take your luggage to your room.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”388535″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=””][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

Check-in takes place at one of the two tables at reception. A friendly member of staff will take care of the formalities and give you an access card. A deposit can be left to cover expenses during your stay.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”388443″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=””][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

Since I would be arriving early in Bali after an overnight flight, I contacted the hotel the day before via the Marriott Bonvoy app’s online chat. Fortunately, early check-in was possible and I was able to get to the hotel by 10am.<\/p>\n

While waiting for my suite to be ready, the hotel gave me access to a hospitality room to freshen up. This service was much appreciated after a long plane journey of over 24 hours! I had the opportunity to take a shower and a nap while waiting for my suite to be ready at 3pm.<\/p>\n

A charming welcome gift was waiting for me at the room. The turquoise box included an assortment of Balinese sweets and cookies, as well as a small note.<\/p>\n

The Aqua Studio suite is superb, spacious and bright. It has a king-size bed and superior comfort mattresses and bedding for a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n

On request, the hotel provided an extra bed for my friend who was accompanying me.<\/p>\n

The swimming pool is the hotel’s most impressive feature. Shaped like a lagoon, it runs the length of the property, from the rooms to the restaurant. At the far end, there’s an in-water bar serving beers, cocktails and juices. You can enjoy a pleasant swim or relax on the comfortable loungers surrounding the pool.<\/p>\n
