Headline evidence
Freshest strong quotes first — same picker as the best-of cardBreakfast and dinner included, very high quality and innovative plant based set
Ingredients they used for cooking were sourced locally, and mostly plant-based.
The hotel features a prominently plant-based dining program, with menus ranging from 70–75% plant-based and sourced from local ingredients and the resort's own garden. Guests consistently praised the culinary quality and creativity, with the kitchen reportedly going out of its way to accommodate vegan requests at multi-course dinners. Positive sentiment dominates across Booking, Google, Agoda, and TripAdvisor, though two Google reviews flagged that the plant-based focus and protein-to-plant ratios should be more clearly communicated upfront to avoid mismatched expectations.

The resort's Open Kitchen serves an incredible plant-based and locally sourced menu, with flavors inspired by traditional Balinese cuisine.
The hotel has a clear vision around ethics and culture which runs through all aspects of the hotel including the menu which is 70% plant based and locally sourced.
The only thing that should be communicated is the dinner menu before booking as 70% is plant based and 30% protein which could be improved on.
from the breakfast menu, to the five course tasting menu at dinner (which the team went out of their way to make vegan) the food was an incredibly positive surprise.
Though 70% of the menu was plant based, once we have a bit more bread especially during dinner, the portions were perfect.
