In case you’re curious which one we have picked three times already and love to come back every time again, let me show you our best find.
Every time we check in at the Hilton Garden Inn Bali it feels a little bit like coming home. Friendly faces, smiling staff that even remembers us and puts effort in every detail to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Their breakfast buffet is amazing and we really enjoy their authentic local cuisine (and I have to admit, the kids enjoy their great pizza as well).
This resort like little gem is just minutes away from the airport, strategically located to get anywhere quickly. For us it’s the perfect spot to rest and relax, not just after a long flight.
