Pool at Double Six Luxury Hotel
The pool is largely praised for its beauty and atmosphere, though Australian reviewers in particular express concerns about size and design flaws compared to regional standards.
No significant temporal decline detected. Most reviews cluster in June 2026, with consistent positive sentiment throughout. The two most recent negative critiques (claim 83000, 82979, 82986 from June 8, 2026, and claim 100139 from January 2026) appear sporadic rather than part of a worsening trend.
What the reviews tell us
Pool is consistently praised for beauty, views, and atmosphere—described as 'beautiful,' 'amazing,' 'fabulous,' and featuring 'excellent atmosphere' with 'attentive staff' by many reviewers.
Size and design are mixed: some praise it as 'large' and 'well laid out,' but Australian reviewers specifically note it is 'quite small' and 'not great by Bali standards.'
Pool area features lounges consistently available and a chilled, relaxing environment that guests report using daily.
Structural concern reported: one reviewer noted 'big ridges in the pool' that make swimming difficult, a specific functional issue not mentioned elsewhere.
One reviewer felt the pool area lacked ambience and 'resort feel,' and another recent review suggests the pool and adjoining bar area need aesthetic improvement.
Double Six's pool experience is predominantly positive, with the majority of reviewers citing its beauty, excellent atmosphere, and attentive staff as standout features. Many reviewers specifically commend the ocean views and the well-designed layout of the pool area. The facility offers a large pool with readily available lounges, and the overall ambience is described as relaxing and chilled. However, a meaningful minority of critics—predominantly from Australia—identify notable limitations: the pool area falls short of expectations by regional standards, some find it comparatively small, and at least one reviewer reported structural issues (ridges in the pool floor) that impede swimming. One recent complaint also mentions the pool and adjoining bar area could benefit from aesthetic improvements. The contradictions appear partly tied to reviewer geography and expectations relative to the Bali luxury resort market.
Australian Reviewers Report Size and Quality Shortcomings
A geographic split is evident: Australian reviewers (particularly those from Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane, and one from Adelaide) frequently cite the pool's beauty and atmosphere positively (claims 84318, 96897, 97691, 64008, 71333, 73089, 77737), but the same cohort explicitly raises concerns about regional standards and scale. Most notably, two Australian reviewers from the same review (June 8, 2026) state the pool is 'not great by Bali standards' (82979), could be 'much nicer' (83000), and has structural issues with ridges (82986). Another Australian reviewer found it 'quite small' (70143). In contrast, non-Australian reviewers and those without specified location tend to offer unqualified praise. This suggests Australian guests—likely experienced with Bali resorts—hold the pool to a higher competitive standard than other international guests, and some perceive genuine functional or aesthetic gaps relative to alternatives in the region.
