Food & drink prices at Novotel Bali Benoa
Food and beverage pricing is a major concern, with multiple reviewers citing high costs relative to quality and local market rates. One recent reviewer found pricing reasonable, but overall sentiment leans negative.
Recent reviews (June 2026 and July 2026) include both the most negative assessment (low quality for high prices, June 28) and the sole positive assessment (reasonable pricing and menu variety, July 15), indicating contradictory guest experiences in the same timeframe with no clear improvement or decline trend.
What the reviews tell us
Multiple reviewers describe hotel food pricing as expensive, particularly relative to local Bali dining standards, undermining perceived value.
Food and drink packages are criticized for overly restrictive menu choices, making them poor value even at face price.
Quality-to-price ratio is described as poor, with one reviewer noting the restaurant delivers low quality despite high prices.
One recent Australian reviewer found the menu variety and drinks list reasonably priced, offering a contrasting perspective to the broader negative pattern.
Breakfast inclusion status and detailed drink/minibar costs are not addressed in available review data.
The Novotel Bali Benoa's food and beverage offerings receive mixed but predominantly negative assessments centered on value and pricing. Most reviewers characterize the hotel's food and drinks as expensive relative to what would be expected in Bali, where dining costs are typically lower. Multiple claims emphasize poor value proposition, with one reviewer noting that the restaurant delivers low quality despite high prices. Additionally, the hotel's bundled food and drink packages have drawn criticism for restricting menu choice, making them unattractive to guests seeking flexibility. A single positive assessment from an Australian reviewer counterbalances these concerns by noting the menu variety and pricing are "not too expensive," but this stands as an outlier against the broader pattern. Breakfast inclusion status is not explicitly addressed in available claims, leaving that aspect of the need unresolved.
Price reasonableness splits between reviewers; no consensus
One Australian reviewer (claim 103399, July 2026) explicitly states the menu and drinks list are 'not too expensive,' while three other reviewers describe pricing as 'pricey' or 'expensive' relative to Bali standards or value received. The Australian reviewer appears to evaluate pricing against a different baseline (possibly Australian restaurant standards), whereas other reviewers contextualize costs within Bali's broader market. The same Australian reviewer also criticizes food/drink package restrictions, suggesting price perception varies by offering type and individual travel context.
