Peninsula Bay Resort

What can I say? One of the most stunning venues in Bali. Very quiet and has a real country feel about it. There is definitely enough swimming pools to meet your needs and the rooms are spacious and well set out a great holiday place. Looking forward to returning again in 2025.

Please see previous review - similar experience. They stop you in the street, offer some scratch tickets, prizes, etc. No clarity in the offer and they keep saying that they get bonuses if you accept and that is how they can support their families, etc. Not clear what you can get in the end, they mentioned a voucher but I refused. Bottom line, you waste vacation time - looks like they desperately need tourists.

On street sales person with a bogus promotion stopped me on the street wanted me to go into a cab as a lucky winner. DO NOT TELL THEM ANYTHING AND LEAVE. They are very compelling and have a stck of glossy brochures - its a mess and dont get involved

Read all the other reviews about their scam to get you to buy timeshare with them to get the idea of the lengths they will go to get you in. We fell for the street guy’s act that we were helping them earn money. We never believed the prize story. So lucky for us the sellers had gone home for the day. They asked us to come back next morning they would send a driver. We said no we can arrange that ourselves as we suspected a scam and didn’t want to go back. Next morning they sent a driver anyway, we asked the front desk to send them away. So no shame at all blatant scammers who won’t let go. Beware these guys there is no prize and they just want your money.

First stay here after becoming members last August. Our 1 bedroom apartment is spacious and well equipped with great views over the bay. Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is great and restaurant for lunch and dinner are good. Organised evening events are well done. A shuttle goes between the resort and Peninsula beach hotel. Lovely pools 4 altogether set in delightful gardens.

Peninsula Bay Resort BEWARE: TIMESHARE SALES PITCH The Peninsula Bay Resort have persistence and sometimes aggressive sales people who parade up and down Jalan Pratama street on motorcycles selling time shares for the Bay Resort. They initially approach you while you are walking down the street and offer free raffle tickets. Their initial conversation is that they are not selling anything and there is no sales involved. Unsurprisingly you will always “win” and they become extremely excited for you, jumping around and shaking your hands multiple times, and inform you they need to take you to the resort to claim your prize and free lunch will be provided . If you decline, they humbly say that they will get 50 dollars if you go and that this means a lot to their family and that Covid has been hard times for them. They are very persistent in trying to get you to the resort. If you refuse further they push hard on the 50 dollar prize for them. I chose not to go and said goodbye. I know they are just doing their job, which is OK. But they are misrepresenting and not explaining the real facts. See other reviews of people who have gone to the resort to claim their “prize”. It is not good. It is such a shame because Balinese people are lovely, friendly and nice. The Peninsula Bay Resort salespeople are letting Bali down. Some notes; - [ ] The salespeople are constantly approaching tourists, mainly Aussies and Brits. I even had one approach me and during the conversation he said that is boss came from my city - [ ] They don’t appear to operate after lunchtime - [ ] Their sales skill and initial engagement is slick. Maybe they should consider working in other sales industries other than timeshare - [ ] They always ask which hotel you are staying in, I guess so that they don’ pitch to Peninsula guests - [ ] It’s a numbers game, so you are always being approach and this gets frustrating when you are walking down the street. This on street sales pitch is an exception and not really representative of the nice Balinese people. Shame that the Peninsular Bay Resort are using these sales people and their 1980s sales techniques. Spoils the Bali vibe.
