We were pleasantly surprised that the hotel had been upgraded better breakfast area more pools.
Room was overlooking the pool very nice. They didn’t have any draws in the room to put clothes, lots of hanging space.
Bathroom door opened inward making it inconveniencet to use the hand basin. But we managed, found the pillows were giving me a stiff neck but the spa vouchers of 2x30 min back and neck massage were greatly appreciated and the masseuse was excellent.
Our 1st breakfast was a bit disappointing as the baymerines (?) were cold so the hot food was cold but that was the first day and after that all hot food was hot!
Breakfast choices were great the egg Stn did a great job it didn’t take long to get your eggs.we enjoyed the free meals.
20% off any food bought at the hotel was very handy and we enjoyed the specials
The king prawns were especially great and the 3 beers with chicken wings were also a favourite.
All staff were genuinely friendly.
The Solia is in an excellent location in Legian.
Not our favourite side of the island but this deal made it worth a visit.
Manish from Kindle travel was very helpful with the booking everything went like clockwork.he help book us on our preferred airline AA unfortunately they were very late flights but for the price that was to be expected!.
Our departure flight from Perth, my husband and I were unable to sit together but staff on the flight allowed us to upgrade to the front of the plane for a very minimal charge. The flight home we managed to get 3 seats between us which was a bonus and a fluke!
Over all we had a great time from start to finish.
I can recommend Kindle travel as very competent in the travel arrangements.
And this deal was very good for the price and everything you get included.
I hope they do a deal in Sanur in the future.
