This resort stands in the Kawasan Wisata Nusa Dua ITDC tourist area, about 15 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport, and holds a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 2,952 reviews. It is laid out as four villages in contemporary Balinese style, so you can choose the part of the property that suits your stay. A private white sand beachfront, free WiFi and free parking keep the practical side simple, and the Bali Collection shopping centre is steps away.

The resort has 636 rooms, suites and villas. Rooms look onto the garden or the ocean, with one king bed or two twin beds, and Club Access options bring entry to the Grand Club Lounge, which has pond and garden views. Suites range from Deluxe and Executive to Grand Executive, Ambassador and Presidential, all with Club Access. Families can choose themed connecting rooms in Mermaid or Pirate designs, while the beachfront villas offer one, two or three bedrooms, with private pools in the two and three bedroom categories.

Oceania Kids Club is open from 9am to 6pm every day, with cultural activities and nature exploration for children, and Camp Hyatt adds a further programme for younger travellers. Adults can play squash at the Bay Club or join a yoga class, and the private beach has cabanas you can reserve for a day by the sea. Evenings bring live entertainment at Veranda Lounge & Bar, karaoke and games at Lila Cita Sports Bar, and Balinese cultural performances at Pasar Senggol.

Five pools give you a choice of mood. The Main Pool is lagoon style and surrounded by tropical gardens, the River Pool has two waterslides and is open from 9am to 6pm, and the Balinese Feature Pool, the exclusive Grand Club Pool and the adults only Bay Club Pool, for ages 16 and over, add variety. Kriya Spa is open from 9am to 9pm, with the last 60 minute appointment at 8pm. The Bay Club Fitness Center is open around the clock, with cardio equipment, squash courts, a yoga studio, sauna, steam room, plunge pools and classes.

Dining takes in five restaurants and four bars. Salsa Verde serves Italian dishes with Mediterranean views and chef demonstrations, Nampu offers Japanese teppanyaki, and Watercourt serves Indonesian cuisine in a Balinese style dining room. Garden Café has an international buffet with live cooking stations, while Pasar Senggol recreates a night market on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings. Salsa Bar is for sunset cocktails, Veranda Lounge & Bar has live entertainment, and Lila Cita Sports Bar adds karaoke and games. In room dining is available around the clock.

The Bali Collection shopping centre is steps away. Further afield, Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is 19.77 miles away, Pura Tirta Empul is 27.45 miles and Gitgit Waterfall is 42.34 miles, so a day out is worth planning. For weddings and celebrations, the resort has 24 venues across tropical gardens and the beachfront, and a 1,202 sqm Grand Ballroom handles larger gatherings.
