What the reviews tell us

Restaurant meals are consistently reported as expensive for Bali, with documented lunch costs around €40 per person and pricing significantly higher than comparable outside restaurants

Beach bar operations impose mandatory minimum purchases (~€130) for lounger use despite guest status, with drinks priced three times above external venues and perceived as lower quality

Mini-bar practice involves charging for most items beyond complimentary still water, characterized as 'nickel-and-diming'

Specific beverage pricing example: draught beer charged at £5.50 for small size with poor quality assessment

Limited positive sentiment: one reviewer noted restaurant quality justifies pricing, and another found drink prices reasonable for hotel standard, though both lack supporting detail

The Laguna's food and beverage costs are consistently reported as high across multiple reviewer nationalities and touchpoints. Restaurant meals are cited as expensive for Bali specifically, with documented lunch prices around €40 per person and restaurant pricing significantly above outside dining options. Beach bar experiences show particular friction: mandatory minimum purchases of approximately €130 for loungers despite guest status, drinks priced three times higher than off-property venues with notably lower quality, and poor-quality draught beer at £5.50. Mini-bar practices employ aggressive charging on most items except complimentary still water. Only two positive sentiments emerge: one reviewer found restaurant quality justified pricing, and another considered drink prices reasonable for the hotel standard. However, these positive assessments lack specificity and are substantially outweighed by detailed, consistent complaints across recent reviews from multiple countries including Belgium, Germany, China, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
