What the reviews tell us
Water costs approximately €5 plus VAT per bottle due to remote location with no nearby alternatives; all beverages and food outside breakfast charged at European price levels
Dinner pricing is high without corresponding exceptional quality; hotel appears to exploit remote location where guests have no alternative dining options
Restaurant prices significantly higher compared to other Indonesian hotels and standard Bali rates
Service delivery does not justify premium pricing; slow service reported despite high meal costs
Ancillary costs follow same premium pattern: hotel-arranged taxis charged at elevated tourist rates due to location
Guest reviews consistently identify significant food and beverage pricing concerns at Neano Escape. The hotel's remote location in Bali creates a captive market where guests have no viable dining alternatives, and the property appears to exploit this through premium pricing. Specific examples include a bottle of water priced at approximately 85,000 IDR (~€5 plus VAT), and dinner described as expensive without offering exceptional quality. Multiple reviewers from different countries report that all meals and beverages outside of breakfast are charged at European price levels rather than reflecting local Indonesian market rates. Beyond food, the pattern extends to ancillary services, with hotel-arranged transportation also marked up at tourist rates. Service speed does not align with the premium pricing structure, with at least one reviewer noting slow service despite elevated costs. The consensus across reviews is that the remote location allows the hotel to maintain prices disconnected from both local market standards and service quality delivered.
