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 · Maxx Royal Kemer Resort

• High price point.
• Some premium bottles or private services may still be excluded.
• Family-friendly energy may not suit travelers seeking a strictly adults-only setting.
