Merusaka Nusa Dua
Things to know
before you go
Merusaka Nusa Dua should be classified as optional all-inclusive because the official site sells a specific all-inclusive package while other rates also exist.
It is a strong Bali beach-and-pool resort with unusually clear official all-inclusive package language.
Confirm current beverage brands, spa benefits and eligible restaurant list before marking complete.
Things guests wish they had known
Book the all-inclusive package or rate plan explicitly; standard stays can be breakfast-only or other board bases.
The resort is strong for pools, beach and rooms, but not a classic kids-club all-inclusive.

Three pools plus children's pool
Large room, suite and villa inventory
Good MICE and wedding infrastructure
Other considerations from our research
