VOUK Hotel & Suites

All good

The experience could’ve been better. On the one hand the staff is very friendly. However, there was a bit of confusion upon arrival because there was no vehicle to pick me up and I was unable to reach anyone at the hotel by email or phone. So I took a taxi. Checking in was easy but after a long day, I just wanted to rest without interruption so I put the do not disturb sign on. However, while I was in the shower a housekeeper came in anyway. While standing naked in the shower, I had to explain to him that he needed to come back to service the room. Again, he was real nice but I was shocked that it happened. Like a number of resorts in Nusa Dua, this is probably best for those traveling with family or small groups. A bit far from the action, but that’s what I was looking for this time around.

This is the 4th time I've stayed at this resort. It had changed ownership/been rebranded twice since. Unfortunately it's now targeted directly to the chinese. We were the only non Chinese there. We were literally pushed around in the buffet, had them banging on our door at all hours (kept getting the wrong room) and had them screaming in the pool beside our room until late at night. The resort is beautiful but little things were annoying like very very slow service around the pool (given buzzer to push but no one came twice), waterfall into pool so loud you have to yell to the person beside you, no paper menus/conpendiuim in room (everything on tablets which didn't work properly), tv remote really hard to use (couldn't turn tv off as button didn't work), aircon wouldn't adjust so cold all the time. Buffet only designed for asian cuisine (had to ask the chef for a piece of bacon. Such a shame as the resort itself is beautiful and the staff are very friendly but just not as good as it used to be. Definately wouldn't bother unless you're chinese.

The rooms are great and spacious. It was also clean and have good amenities. Hotels has great pool and cool view. The only downside is the slow service and hotel management. Breakfast and room service were slow. Lots of food tray left empty and it took time to get it refiled even though we were there at 8 AM and breakfast is served till 10AM and there were tour group stayed in the hotel. Charges 100k for extra room key, the management is not helpful and didnt show themself when there was an issue with check in. Things were not communicated well between the sales team and the Front office, and rather let the FO deal with problem. Overall the stay was so so but not going to reccomend it for a group trip and will not stay at this hotel again next time.
