There are a lot of things to consider when it comes to choosing just the right Benoa resort for your holiday needs, and chances are, each traveler has difference needs and preference and needs. There are also things you need to consider for when your travel plans need to be canceled – no one wants that, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. So where should you start? 

Benoa resort always consider the cost vs the perks 

As a guest you’re already paying a lot when booking something like an all-inclusive or luxury Benoa resort. But that doesn’t mean you should expect the cost will include everything. Doing your research and being aware of just what the cost entails will give you a peace of mind. 

Also consider the true perks of booking with luxury chain hotels as opposed to a locally-owned villa or rental homes. Rental apartments or villas in Bali can have access to a beach or a beautiful garden just as much as, if not better, than what a hotel room can offer. If it’s just a pool or access to the beach, rethinking your choice is a good move before booking a hotel. Pro-tip: consider facilities like kids program, day activities (picnic, surfing), toddler pool, and such when booking a luxury resort in Bali is on your mind.
