Food & drink prices at RIMBA by AYANA Bali
Food and beverage pricing is perceived as moderately high with mixed views; breakfast and specialty items draw consistent criticism for being overpriced, while some reviewers find value reasonable for a resort setting.
Recent reviews (April–June 2026) concentrate complaints about breakfast, beverages, and general meal pricing. An older review from October 2024 provided notably positive commentary on pool-food pricing with specific details. The more recent cluster trend leans slightly negative on pricing perception, though mixed commentary persists throughout the timeframe. No clear temporal improvement or deterioration is evident, but recent reviewers appear more price-conscious.
What the reviews tell us
Breakfast and floating breakfast options are commonly criticized as overpriced, with prices around 500,000 rupees per person cited as expensive (claims 130804, 116753, 126903)
Beverages (juices, sodas, drinks) are consistently described as pricey across multiple recent reviews, though one Australian reviewer found drinks reasonably priced (claims 115175, 123265, 117426)
General restaurant meal pricing is moderately high but viewed by some reviewers as understandable or acceptable for a resort context (claims 119415, 131504, 123271)
Pool-side food service offers transparent, reasonable pricing—pizza ~$20 AUD, kids meals $10 AUD, drinks $8–10 AUD—representing good value for a hotel venue (claim 137199)
Hotel guests receive discounts at restaurants and spa services, providing cost relief on dining and wellness spending (claim 120352)
RIMBA by AYANA Bali's food and beverage pricing elicits a genuinely mixed response from guests. A core group of reviewers—particularly from Asia-Pacific regions—explicitly criticize breakfast costs and floating breakfast options as overpriced, with one reviewer citing 500,000 rupees per person as expensive. Juices, sodas, and drinks are consistently flagged as pricey across multiple recent reviews. However, counterbalancing this, other guests report food as reasonably priced or note that while prices lean high, they are understandable for a luxury resort. One detailed 2024 review from Adelaide found pool-side food service offerings (pizza ~$20 AUD, kids meals $10 AUD, drinks $8–10 AUD) to represent very reasonable value for a hotel setting. The hotel does offer guest discounts at restaurants and spa services, which moderates the overall cost burden. The evidence suggests pricing is genuinely above casual market rates but falls within acceptable luxury resort expectations for some, while others find specific items—especially breakfast add-ons and beverages—hard to justify.
Value perception varies sharply across reviewer groups
Multiple Asian and international reviewers (Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Canada) characterize food and beverage costs as overpriced or expensive, with specific criticism of breakfast add-ons. Conversely, Australian reviewers are split: some find food reasonably or excellently priced with good value, while others call drinks expensive. One detailed 2024 review from Adelaide praised pool-side meal pricing as very reasonable for hotel standards. The contradiction likely reflects different baseline expectations: reviewers comparing to local Bali dining find resort prices steep, while those valuing convenience and luxury standards find the pricing acceptable. No contradiction in absolute pricing claims, but stark differences in whether prices represent fair value.
