Grand Hyatt Bali Review – 5 star family friendly beach resort

With its beautiful white sandy beach, multiple resort pools, bars, restaurants, spa and kids clubs this deluxe family-friendly Bali resort offers amazing value for money

We’ve just arrived back from our first ever trip to Bali and it really feels like we hit the Bali holiday resort jackpot straight away! We just spent 3 nights hosted at the 5-Star Grand Hyatt Bali, and we all had such a wonderful time!

The Grand Hyatt Bali is a gorgeous luxury vacation resort located on the East Coast of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula in Nusa Dua. The resort is nestled within exotic tropical gardens, fronting a beautiful white sandy beach – this truly is a Bali paradise!

Family resort accommodation in Bali

There is luxury accommodation to suit everyone at the Grand Hyatt Bali, with a range of rooms, villas and suites – 636 rooms, to be exact! Centrally located deluxe facilities abound, including swimming pools, bars and restaurants – plus kids’ clubs and a shopping arcade! In fact, this resort is so well serviced that you could spend your entire Bali family holiday here without even stepping foot outside of the resort!

Getting around the resort is easy

Even though the resort is spread out over several acres, most features are either centrally located or within easy walking distance along paved paths. In addition, there are resort shuttles which circulate regularly, both around the resort and even over to the nearby Bali Collection shopping mall. Plus, you’re always only steps away from that gorgeous beach!

Arriving at the Grand Hyatt Bali

With the Bali Airport just 15 minutes away, you can get right down to the business of relaxation and fun soon after you land! It felt like in no time at all we had been whisked Grand Hyatt Bali driver and we left the rush of the bustling Denpasar city streets behind us and entered the security gates of peaceful Nusa Dua.

From the moment we drove through the gates and down the tree-lined drive of the Grand Hyatt Bali resort our 5-star holiday experience began in earnest! Hotel attendants met us at the car, spiriting away our bags and gently ushering us down the elegant walkway. Two traditionally dressed Balinese girls gracefully greeted us along the way – already we felt the excitement and enchantment of an exotic, luxurious Bali holiday!

A seamless check in experience followed, where we were seated and welcomed with cool drinks, hand cloths and warm smiles.

What is a Grand Hyatt Bali suite like?

We were escorted to our room and were thrilled to find that the Grand Hyatt Bali had arranged a Grand Executive Suite King for us!

The Grand Executive Suite was luxury personified. A decadent 141 square meters of climate-controlled deluxe accommodation. Our one-bedroom suite consisted of a generously sized open-plan foyer, lounge and dining area. The decadent bedroom and ensuite opened off the lounge, plus an additional toilet was situated off the foyer. A large private balcony ran the length of the entire suite and was also accessible from the bedroom.

The balcony had an outdoor setting and featured beautiful views. It looked out over tropical gardens to the twinkling blue Indian Ocean. A lovely spot for a coffee in the morning.

The lounge featured comfortable lounges and a huge flat screen TV. It was a great place to kick back and relax after an exciting day of fun.

In addition to a dining setting the dining area had a desk, well-stocked mini bar fridge, tea and coffee amenities and coffee machine.

The bedroom featured a four poster-style King-sized bed romantically draped – it felt like waking up in a movie with the sea breeze drifting in from the balcony. There was a dressing room/walk in robe with a safe, iron, robes and slippers.

The bedroom led into the huge bathroom with separate shower and step-up marble bath. The bath had – wait for it – its own TV with a remote control! So that you could relax in the bath and watch TV of course!

Our suite was a one bedroom with an extra bed added to the lounge area, however if you needed more space for more children or family, interconnecting twin or standard rooms are available to add to bookings.

Choose an all-inclusive Bali Holiday

One of the great things about the Grand Hyatt Bali is you can make your vacation as inclusive as you want, with options to purchase all-inclusive meal and drink packages.

We had the all-inclusive package red bracelets and enjoyed wonderful restaurants for breakfast lunch and dinner, and could enjoy relaxing by the pools knowing we could grab a drink and even a range of beers, wines and cocktails at the various bars.

A Bali Foodie Paradise

There are mouth-watering restaurants in abundance at the Grand Hyatt Bali and enough delicious cuisine to satisfy any budding Bali Foodie!

In each restaurant the service was impeccable. We were always asked if we had any allergies first, guided through the menu choices and food was served promptly.

We dined at the four main Grand Hyatt Bali restaurants during our three-night stay…

Salsa Verde Restaurant

This pool-side Italian Restaurant was a real winner with its delicious pizza and pasta choices. This Grand Hyatt Bali restaurant has a great airy Mediterranean theme with al fresco dining available too.

The location and outdoor dining option made this particular restaurant a winner for lunch, because you could choose to eat outside so that you barely needed to leave the pool!

My girls' particular favourite at the Salsa Verde was the Spaghetti Bolognese.

Our teppanyaki dishes were not only absolutely delicious, but also highly entertaining! We couldn’t believe the incredible skills of the resident chefs – it was lots of fun! The Lobster was my stand-out favourite – it was just unforgettable!

We were lucky enough to have breakfast, lunch and dinner at the beautiful Grand Hyatt Bali Watercourt open air restaurant.

On our second night we had been out all day visiting the Bali tourist sites, so we were very happy to have dinner at this gorgeous Indonesian and grill restaurant.

The beautiful pool and fountains setting is such a special dining experience, and the food is just incredible too. Particular dish standouts were the steaks and the Tuna Tartare – absolutely delectable!

Passar Senggol Theatre Restaurant

On our last night we loved dining at Passar Senggol, a Balinese Night Market experience with a spectacular open-air stage Balinese cultural theatre performance show.

We loved trying all the different new Indonesian foods at the “stalls” – there’s even a dessert area! This is a fantastic way to try lots of new Balinese food – and it’s all so delicious!

I’m sure that many parents were appreciative that the Passar Senggol restaurant also offered Western options – including chicken nuggets and other kid-friendly foods for those fussy eaters!

Whilst I loved all the new Balinese dishes here, I discovered that my new food-favourite is sweet Balinese pancakes!

Following one of the amazing shows diners were invited to come up onto the stage with the cast members for a fantastic photo opportunity – I think every table jumped at the opportunity! At the end of the night all the children were invited up onto the stage to learn some new cultural dancing!

Passar Senggol had so many wonderful dishes to try!

We loved exploring all of the Grand Hyatt Bali restaurants for not only dinner but lunch and breakfast too. We finally ate at the beautiful Garden Cafe on the last morning of our Bali getaway.

The Garden Cafe had a special Balinese breakfast selection area and also offered a wide range of Western breakfast choices.

A satisfying breakfast looking out at the wonderful view was such a peaceful – and tasty – way to start the day!

Breakfast at the Grand Hyatt Bali

At all of the Grand Hyatt Bali restaurants for breakfast there were dedicated Balinese and/or Asian breakfast food areas as well as plenty of Western breakfast choices for both adults and kids.

In addition to sausages, beans and scrambled eggs, you could always find toast and spreads, including strawberry jam and Vegemite. Yoghur, fresh fruit, toast and pastries plus cereal were all readily available. Various milks were available too.

At each restaurant there were freshly made options such as chef-ordered pancakes and egg chefs. Every morning, at each restaurant I just couldn’t resist the yummy Eggs Benedict!

There are several swimming pools – the Main Pool, the River pool and the Balinese Feature Pool.

There are so many pools and water features at the Grand Hyatt Bali that we completely missed another two pools altogether and didn’t even know it! I think that’s a first for us!

We had such fun flying down the main water slide on inflatable tubes and there’s even toddler pools and a gentle water slide for little kids too.

The Grand Hyatt Bali pools are open daily from 8am to 7pm, and the water slide to 6pm.

The Un-Crowded Bali Resort

Even though we visited the Grand Hyatt Bali during a peak period, it didn’t ever feel crowded. I loved that we could find available pool lounges when we wanted them, or pop to the bar to get a drink without having to wait in a queue. Service was always prompt and friendly. It really surprised me to learn that they during our time there they were close to full capacity – as it really didn’t feel that way!

Kids clubs for all ages

Normally it would be difficult to align the term 5-star with family-friendly but the Grand Hyatt Bali has nailed the combination!

The Grand Hyatt Bali has some great options to keep the youngest members of the family right up to the hard-to-please teens totally entertained!

There are three separate age-targeted Kids Clubs.

The toddler, kids and teens Kids Clubs are open all day and have both free and paid options available.

Nearby shopping

The Grand Hyatt Bali has the best of both shopping worlds with their in-resort shopping mall with several shops including boutiques and a surf brands shop. We bought some great souvenirs from the hotel gift store too!

There’s a corner store open every day for life’s little essentials, including snacks! Plus there’s even some fun market stalls selling local souvenirs and crafts each evening.

The Bali Collection shopping mall

Just across the road from the Grand Hyatt is the Bali Collection, a fantastic one level shopping mall with a Starbucks, huge souvenir stores, brand outlets and much more. It’s easy to spend a couple of hours drifting from store to store!
