Decoded resort profile

RIMBA by AYANA Bali

resortJimbaran, South Bali

The decoded verdict

Decoded from 231 reviews across five sources: RIMBA by AYANA Bali earns a broadly positive reception, with guests from Australia to Japan consistently describing stays as luxurious and memorable — one seasoned Bali traveler ranks it among the best properties in the region. The pools are the resort's most celebrated feature, praised for their variety (13+ distinct areas), visual appeal, and immaculate upkeep, while breakfast draws consistent applause for its Indonesian dishes, quality coffee, and beautiful dining setting. The clearest recurring complaint is soundproofing: multiple recent guests independently reported thin walls and audible noise from adjacent rooms and corridors, a notable gap for a five-star property. Return intent is mixed, with at least one guest explicitly declining to revisit, so those sensitive to room noise may want to request higher floors or quieter wings.
