Cons — AYANA Resort Bali

• The resort is expensive by Bali standards, especially for food, drinks, spa, and premium experiences.
• The beach is scenic and private-access, but it is below a cliff and less convenient than a traditional walk-out beach resort.
• The estate can feel very large and spread out, requiring shuttles or trams between facilities.
• Some travelers may feel isolated because restaurants, shops, and cafés outside the resort are not easily walkable.
• Dining count and pool count are estate-wide, so guests should understand which facilities are closest to their specific hotel and room category.

Cons — Club Med Bali

• Rooms can feel dated for the price
• Main restaurant enhancement works create temporary disruption
• Kids clubs temporarily unavailable July 2026 to May 2027
• Spa, excursions, and some premium beverages cost extra
• Large lively resort atmosphere is not ideal for quiet luxury seekers
