Medplaya Hotel Bali

Really enjoyed our stay at the Bali, just the one real moan and that was the swimming pool situation however before that.. Check in We had early flight so arrived before our room was ready,  but we were given bands (as AI) so could get drinks/food and put our cases in the check out room.  When we could check in it was super quick (as only us) and staff were excellent (as they all were throughout our holiday). As you will have read from others, half way up cardiac hill,  not a problem for us but certainly if you have mobility issues I would think twice. Room We got room 2807 which was top floor overlooking the 3 pools with a sea view.  Nicely refurbed with grey interior and really clean.  Throughout the maids did a great job.  One thing was a bit of a concern are the patio doors, when you are outside if you pull them shut in error you are locked out.  Bet a few people have done this in their time.  Very secure but wonder if there is a solution to stop this from happening? Food I was there with my daughter and wife who can be picky eaters.  Breakfast was a good selection of what you would expect with hot & cold to choose from.  I loved the Black Pudding & Spicy Sausages and Wife and Daughter always found something to eat, this was same at dinner and tea time.  Pigs Trotters was a bit odd and even I never touched that but plenty of choice although a lot is fish related,  which again I loved.  Overall choice wasn’t huge but certainly is enough and ultimately its 3star not a 4/5 star RUI.  But it was always hot and staff really do work hard.   Snack bar – Although when I saw this I was disappointed with choice/selection it really did hit the spot for us.  Daughter loved baguettes with cheese & Ham,  We all loved the Crisps (we tended to get these at night for us to have with drinks whilst entertainment was on) and I loved the Olives with an afternoon beer.  So yes initially doesn’t look much but think it is spot on.  Drinks The San Miguel was great and daughter loved the chocolate milk.  Entertainment We never saw them all but what we did it was fine.  Enjoyed the quizzes and bingo.  The movie night was really good but for us it doesn’t really matter as play games whilst it is on. Again entertainment staff do work really hard and it was really good watching the mini disco (I remember them happy days). Swimming Pools Right this was the only disappointment for us.  When we had booked the Bali we saw some older reviews saying you cant take doughnuts/floats etc in the pool and doesn’t open till late. Its very bizarre and I have never seen this anywhere in the world…..  but the pool opened at 11am to 19:00.  I thought the late opening would be an issue but as we got up late and then had breakfast it wasn’t that bad,  daughter is now 13 whilst few years back and younger I suspect they would be complaining.  But also the pools have a fence around that the lifeguards remove just before 11 and then put up 18:30ish…   its very odd.

Hotel generally ok you get what you pay for, cleaners really friendly and clean to a superb standard , restaurant staff friendly especially the lovely lady with the glasses upfront, who greets you as you come in , food ok I’d say breakfast is the best of the 3 we ate out a few nights although we were all inclusive just to break up the week . entertainment staff really good , only 2 critical points I have is it is really a hotel designed for familys and couples , yet we had 2 groups of British lads that come to Spain for stag party’s at time could get a little annoying and rowdy when they are in a group can be a little intimidating, when you have children . Second criticism, bar staff could be a little more friendly especially the tall guy with the bald head I was enquiring about a drink I was going to purshase as some spirits are not included in all inclusive package and that’s fair enough , I have the particular drink at home never opened it as never knew what to drink it with , so I asked the guy serving me and he was rude saying no no , one of the female bartenders who was nice , after explaining said it’s usually drank with coke and I don’t like spirits with coke so didn’t bother overall nice holiday

AMAZING. Food is divine and staff are so friendly 😁 such good prices for rooms we went for the sea view and it is beautiful air con works like a charm as well. Highly recommend staying here, it's the perfect family holiday destination due to it's location and atmosphere!

i love your hotel it is so good i want to go there every day. when i was there there was such things like air hokey the pool the games i love your hotel so much.the food was so good i had such a good time i realy hope i can come again it was so fun i could go there every day

Good location despite the hill (not as bad as people have been saying it is) restaurant staff were amazing. Staff at reception were rude and didn’t make you feel welcome at all. Lifts are slow which isn’t ideal with young children in pushchairs. Room was tiny. Not enough room for suitcases and pram even when folded down. But for what you’re paying it’s what you’d expect

Very scruffy and dirty. Food is like. Pool is freezing. 90% of sunbeds are broken and saggy and are the cheap ones that don't fold. Rooms are a mission to walk to. You pay for what you get. Corridors covered in dirt and the carpets in Corridors have nasty stains all the way down. Have to pay for towels

Absolutely fantastic hotel, much bigger than I thought it would be, staff are very friendly and helpful we noticed our TV remote control wasn’t working it was only batteries but we went to reception and made them aware!by the time we had a quick coffee in the lounge then went back to our room it was all sorted. The hotel is being cleaned daily the rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels issued daily te food was good for all inclusive could always find something, there is quite a lot to do outside also there is the town at the bottom of the street which is a quite steep hill so wouldn’t recognise if you have mobility problems, cross the road at the bottom of the hill and there is a few entrances which gets you to the beach walk along the beach for approximately 10-15 minutes nice stroll and the marina is there with more shops and restaurants it’s absolutely beautiful we went as a family of 3 the price of drinks wether be alcoholic or not walking around was really reasonably priced I was shocked at some of the prices expected it to cost a lot more we will definitely return in the near future 5⭐️ for us thank you
