Excellent guest service, charm and real friendliness are the primary benefits of five-star properties in Bali, which contribute to their regular inclusion within the lists of the perfect hotels on the planet, in accordance with Forbes travel guide Chief Executive Officer Gerard J. Inzerillo.
“We have some amazing hotels on our list in Bali, with the Four Seasons and The Villas at Ayana Resort Bali leading the way. “Across Bali, all the hotels on our list deliver a very high level of guest service, charm and genuine friendliness – we see this quite clearly in our numerous visits and assessments of the area,” Inzerillo told The Jakarta Post by email.
Forbes travel guide, which claims to be the one independent global rating of luxury hotels, restaurants and spas, recently celebrated its sixtieth anniversary and in February unveiled its latest list of world star rating winners.
Five- and four-star hotel winners in Indonesia include Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay, The Villas at Ayana Resort Bali, Ayana Resort and Spa, Bali, Conrad Bali and Amandari.
Currently, there are 1,609 properties rated by the Forbes Travel Guide in 50 countries. To determine the rankings, Forbes Travel Guide’s rankings department examines each destination and identifies potential hotel, restaurant and spa candidates.
A team of anonymous inspectors then conduct a brief visit before assessing the property in accordance with the organization’s set of 900 objective standards.
Inzerillo added that Bali as a destination well caters to family travel needs, which is a growing trend in luxury hospitality.
“Accommodation that caters for multi-generational guests who can stay together in a villa – perhaps with private amenities such as a swimming pool or access to a private chef, yet with all the comforts of a main hotel or resort – is a growing demand. Bali is particularly good at meeting this need by offering an aspect privacy/exclusivity that many luxury travelers expect.”
An avid traveler himself, Inzerillo said guests should expect greater than just great amenities when selecting to remain at a luxury property.
“While a great property should be high on a guest’s list of priorities in the luxury market, it is crucial to know that you will receive a consistently high level of personalized service that walks the fine line between being too attentive and too discreet,” he said.
“Hotels whose staff strives to assist each guest in a way that intuitively serves each unique situation or preference will truly deliver a well-rounded, luxurious experience. At Forbes Travel Guide, we like to say that when a guest has to think, luxury stops.”
