What the reviews tell us
Meal pricing significantly exceeds comparable five-star Bali resorts and typical local dining, with costs described as resort-level luxury prices that accumulate quickly
Beverages are the most expensive category, with cocktails at $20 AUD, soft drinks at $6 AUD, and one reviewer calling drink prices the highest they've seen anywhere in Bali
One Japanese reviewer reported some non-buffet restaurants offered more reasonable pricing than expected, suggesting minor pricing variation by venue
Multiple vague complaints about 'extremely high' and 'somewhat expensive' restaurant pricing, though lacking specific detail or comparison points
AYANA Resort Bali's food and beverage pricing is a clear point of concern across multiple recent reviews from diverse international guests. The hotel charges luxury-level prices that reviewers explicitly compare unfavorably to other five-star properties in Bali and to typical local dining costs. Meal costs are described as resort-level premium pricing and notably higher than competing Seminyak resorts. Beverage pricing is particularly flagged as problematic, with cocktails priced at approximately $20 AUD and soft drinks at $6 AUD—rates one reviewer characterized as "the most expensive of any place I've ever seen in Bali." While one Japanese reviewer noted that some non-buffet restaurants had more reasonable pricing than anticipated, this modest positive observation is heavily outweighed by consistent complaints that overall food and drink costs accumulate rapidly and represent poor value relative to the local market and peer resorts. The evidence suggests guests should budget significantly for dining, or plan to eat outside the resort to manage costs.
General high pricing vs. some reasonable non-buffet options
Four claims establish that overall F&B pricing is extremely high and excessive. However, claim 2837 (from a Japanese reviewer in June 2026) notes that some non-buffet restaurants had more reasonable pricing than expected. This suggests possible venue-specific variation within the resort, but does not materially challenge the dominant pattern that AYANA's pricing is expensive relative to market expectations.
The evidence
Representative quotes from 9 supporting reviewsThe food and drink was super expensive compared to other five star hotels in Bali
the cost of meals was definitely resort-level, luxury prices and considerably more expensive than a typical Bali meal, and even the food prices at the second resort we stayed at in Seminyak
ビュッフェ以外は思ったより高くないなぁというレストランもあった気がします
