Escape to Paradise: Lovina Oasis Hotel, Bali Awaits!
Lovina Oasis Hotel: Paradise Found (Maybe, But Definitely Pretty Good) - A Review That's Actually Useful
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into the Lovina Oasis Hotel in Bali. Forget those sterile, perfectly-polished reviews that sound like they were written by robots. This is the real deal, warts and all. I'm talking honest opinions, messy observations, and a healthy dose of "did I even pack enough sunscreen?"
First Impressions (and Getting There - the Accessibility Reality Check)
Driving to Lovina from the airport? Ugh, the traffic. Prepare for a journey, even with the airport transfer the hotel offers. (That’s service, by the way, a definite win).
Now, accessibility. This is where things get a little… complicated. Wheelchair access isn't perfect. While the website says they have "facilities for disabled guests," I’d recommend contacting the hotel directly ahead of your trip. Get specific answers about ramp access, elevator availability (yes, there is one!), and bathroom modifications. Don't just assume. This isn’t a deal-breaker, but for anyone with mobility issues, meticulous planning is key. The hotel's location is relatively flat, which is a bonus.
The Rooms: A Sanctuary (Mostly)
Okay, the rooms. Let’s be real, this is where you’re gonna spend a good chunk of your time. My room? Pretty darned nice. Clean, spacious, and with a comfy bed. Air conditioning? Absolutely. Essential. That Bali humidity is no joke. Free Wi-Fi in the rooms? YES! And it actually works! Praise be! Internet access (LAN) is available if you require extra speed, too. The internet stuff is solid, which is a HUGE win for me, because I need to stay connected!
They've thought of extras. Bathrobes and Slippers are nice touches. The mini-bar is there, ready to tempt you with sugary drinks. Blackout curtains? Thank heaven! Seriously, sleep is precious on vacation, and these do the trick. The In-room safe box is standard fare for security. They have a window that opens – a small thing, but I love fresh air. My room had a private bathroom with a separate shower/bathtub. Double win!
There's also a Coffee/tea maker. Hallelujah! That first cup of coffee on the balcony, watching the sun rise over the ocean… pure bliss. (Except the time I spilled half of it. Imperfections, people, imperfections.)
Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind (Mostly)
Bali is gorgeous, but you do want your hotel to be clean, right? Lovina Oasis seems to take this seriously. They have Daily housekeeping, of course. More importantly I noticed visible Anti-viral cleaning products being used, and they do Daily disinfection in common areas. They have Hand sanitizer stations around, there's a Front desk [24-hour]. Rooms are sanitized between stays, and they offer a Room sanitization opt-out available if you’re feeling extra cautious. You can also avail of Professional-grade sanitizing services. There are Smoke alarms and a Fire extinguisher. They have CCTV in common areas, and CCTV outside property. It all adds up to a feeling of relative safety.
I wasn't overly concerned with the hygiene certification, or the individually wrapped food options, but the fact that the staff are Staff trained in safety protocol makes you feel a lot better.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure (and the Relaxing)
Okay, food time! The hotel has multiple restaurants. And a Poolside bar is essential. The Breakfast [buffet] is good. I'm a sucker for an Asian breakfast, myself. You can get the usual Western breakfast options too, and the food is generally good. I really appreciated the Coffee/tea in restaurant – essential for an early start.
The Restaurants have A la carte in restaurant options, of course. There’s Asian cuisine in restaurant, and also International cuisine in restaurant. I saw some Vegetarian restaurant options, and there's a Snack bar if you’re feeling peckish. There’s even Desserts in restaurant. Everything is pretty standard - food is available 24/7, with a 24-hour Room service.
The bottle of water is a welcome gift. Make sure you take advantage of the happy hour for some cheap drinks!
Getting Around: Easy Peasy (Most of the Time)
Airport transfer? Check! And free car park, plus a car park on-site? Double check! You can arrange for a Taxi service, or go for Valet parking if you’re feeling fancy. They even have Bicycle parking. Getting around is pretty straightforward, which is a big tick in my book.
Things To Do (and How to Chill): Bliss or Blah?
Alright, here's where Lovina Oasis shines. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Spectacular. Seriously, the pool with view is stunning. Picture it: you, a cocktail, that Bali sun… pure Instagram gold. And talking of Instagram, the hotel knows what's up, of course they have Wi-Fi in public areas.
They have a Spa. I indulged in a massage. Oh. My. Goodness. Pure, unadulterated bliss. They also have a Body scrub and Body wrap. I heard the Sauna, Spa/sauna, and Steamroom are pretty amazing, although I didn’t get to try them myself.
There's a Fitness center if you're feeling energetic (I wasn't, but it’s there!). Gym/fitness? Yup! They clearly cater to a variety of relaxation levels.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference
The hotel offers a ton of services. They have a Concierge, Currency exchange, and Dry cleaning. Essential! Daily housekeeping is a given! They even have a Gift/souvenir shop, and Ironing service. Seriously handy.
I loved the Luggage storage! The Doorman are friendly. Cash withdrawal is available at the hotel - super useful. Contactless check-in/out - a smart and safe option.
They have Facilities for disabled guests. I didn't spend much time at the convenience store, but I definitely appreciated the Elevator.
They are also well equipped to manage business, with Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Meeting/banquet facilities, and a Meeting stationery.
For the Kids: Family Friendly?
Okay, I'm a solo traveller, so I don’t have kids. But they seem to be Family/child friendly, from what I observed. They have Babysitting service, which is helpful.
The Quirks and Annoyances (Because Life Isn't Perfect):
Okay, here comes the real dirt. (Or maybe just the sand?)
- The occasional mosquito: Pack bug spray!
- Noise: Some rooms are closer to the pool or bar, so if you want total peace and quiet, specify a room away from those areas.
- Service inconsistencies: The staff are generally lovely, but sometimes things take a little longer than expected. Bali time, I guess!
The Emotional Verdict (And a Compelling Offer):
Look, Lovina Oasis isn't perfect. But it's a damn good choice. It's clean, comfortable, has stunning views, and offers a range of activities and relaxation options. The staff are friendly, and the location is good.
Here's the deal: This is paradise touched by reality. Lovina Oasis isn't a sterile, perfect resort. It's human. It’s lively. It's got its quirks. But it's also incredibly beautiful, relaxing, and offers a level of service that makes you feel pampered.
So, who should book this hotel?
- Couples looking for a romantic getaway: The pool, the spa, the sunsets… they’re all perfect.
- People who love to relax by a hotel pool: It’s incredible.
- Anyone who appreciates a good massage: Seriously. BOOK IT.
My Unvarnished Recommendation:
Go. Seriously. Go. Just be prepared for minor imperfections and embrace the Bali vibe. You'll have a wonderful time.

Lovina Oasis Hotel: My Bali Bungle - Week One (ish)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Luggage Debacle (aka, "Why I Pack So Much")
- 7:00 AM (ish) – Wake Up, Panic, Pack Last Minute: Okay, so I'm terrible at packing. I'm convinced I'm going to be stranded on a desert island, hence the three pairs of heels (one for emergencies, obviously). After a frenzied search of my entire apartment, I'm finally, finally, trying to zip up my suitcase.
- 10:00 AM – Airport Shenanigans & Flight, The Horror: Bali-bound! My flight was a marathon of movies, crying babies (no offense, little ones, but seriously?), and me desperately trying to avoid the in-flight meal. I suspect I should've eaten more before.
- 6:00 PM (ish) – Touch Down in Denpasar, Indonesia : I'm in Bali! The air practically hums with adventure, and I'm already sweating. I have to remind myself I am NOT in a desert. But, uh oh. The luggage carousel? Empty. My bag? MIA. My meticulously packed heels? Poof. I can't believe this is happening. My inner drama queen is screaming!
- 7:30 PM – Taxi to Lovina & First Impressions: Finally, after navigating the airport chaos (currency exchange! local SIM cards! touts! - you will learn very quickly!) I collapsed into a taxi for the two-hour journey north to Lovina. The drive was a blur of rice paddies, temples, and the unsettlingly hypnotic stare of the driver. But then… the coast! The waves! And finally, The Lovina Oasis Hotel. The hotel lobby is beautiful. All the colors of Bali. It is hot. I love it.
- 8:00 PM – Dinner & That First Bintang: Oh, Bintang, my new best friend. Squeezing a Bintang in my hand, I feel a sense of euphoria. Dinner was at the hotel restaurant. I ordered something local (because Bali!) - probably too spicy, but delicious. And, hey, no luggage? My hotel is still beautiful. This trip is going to be awesome.
Day 2: Dolphin Dreams and Sunburn Realities
- 5:00 AM – Wake Up (Against My Will): Dolphins! Apparently, getting up before the sun is a thing in Lovina. I grumble and drag myself out of bed. Sunscreen application is a MUST.
- 6:00 AM – Dolphin Watching Tour: I did it! I was on a traditional outrigger boat, bobbing on the waves. And the dolphins! Jumping, playing, just doing their thing. I teared up a little. It was magic. Truly. Then, the sun came up and the boat became a scorcher.
- 9:00 AM – Breakfast & Sunburn Assessment: Breakfast was a buffet of deliciousness, but I looked like a cooked lobster. My skin is screaming. I'm definitely going to be sleeping on the beach again on Day 3.
- 10:00 AM – Beach Time (and, Uh, More Sun?): I thought, "I'm in Bali! I must embrace the sun!" I may have overdone it. I blame the sunscreen.
- 1:00 PM – Hotel Pool - The Escape: A glorious, blessed escape from the scorching sun. The pool is everything I want. My skin is thanking me.
- 3:00 PM – Spa Time (Finally!): A Balinese massage. The best. The absolute best. Every ache and sunburn was soothed away.
- 7:00 PM – Dinner with a View: Watched the sunset (so dramatic!). Dinner at a beachfront warung (local eatery). Ate way too much seafood. Regretting nothing.
- Day 2 Wrap Up: The sunburn is bad. The dolphins were amazing. I need more sunscreen. And maybe a hat.
Day 3: The Temples & Tastebuds Explosion
- Morning: The Batur Volcano! The first thing I have to do is get a good shot of the volcano. The thing is, I fell asleep and had a really beautiful dream.
- 10:00 AM – Tegalalang Rice Terrace: It's another hour or so to get to the Tegalalang Rice Terrace. The view there is incredible. I walked around on the path and took about 200 pictures. I stopped to order Bali coffee with some of the locals there… I had to say, the coffee was not for me.
- Afternoon: The Temple! I am headed to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. The monkeys are cute, but they're definitely not afraid to steal your sunglasses.
- Night: Dinner Again! I made a reservation to the hotel for dinner! But, I may need more food.
Day 4: The Fish Is Beautiful (and the Beach is Calling)
- Morning – Deep Dive into The Sea: The waters are calling my name! I'll be spending some time there!
- Afternoon – The Hotel Pool I am getting an amazing massage!.
- Night – Night is Calling
Day 5: The Waterfall
- Morning – Travel to the Waterfall: I booked a trip today!
- Afternoon – The Waterfall The waterfall is as beautiful as ever. I have to be careful.
- Night – The Hotel Dinner and Bintang again.
Day 6: The Last Day!
- Morning – Relax and eat Breakfast and pool time.
- Afternoon – Souvenirs + Last-Minute Panic Last minute shopping to buy more Bintangs!
Day 7: Goodbye Bali, Hello Reality (and my luggage, PLEASE?)
- Morning – Departure & Reflections: I head to the airport. This trip has definitely been my best!
Quirks, Imperfections, and General Ramblings (aka, My Brain Dump):
- Food: Bali is a culinary adventure. I’ve devoured everything from street food satay skewers (be careful where you get them!) to fancy restaurant meals. My stomach has been surprisingly resilient.
- Transport: Motorbikes are EVERYWHERE. I'm too scared to try one. So I’m relying on taxis and drivers, which is fine. But they like to honk a lot. It’s the Bali symphony!
- People: The Balinese people are incredibly kind and welcoming. Their smiles are infectious.
- Regrets: Maybe trying to do too much. Maybe not getting more sleep. Mostly, not buying that ridiculously overpriced sarong.
- What I Know Now: I need to be brave and get moving.
- What I'm Taking Home: A tan, a hundred photos, a heart full of memories, and hopefully, my luggage arrives!
- Rating: 10/10. Would Bali again. Especially after I get my luggage back.
And there you have it! My Lovina Oasis Hotel Bali adventure. It was messy, spontaneous, and a little bit crazy. But it was also beautiful, inspiring, and utterly unforgettable. Be prepared for anything, embrace the chaos, and don’t forget the sunscreen (trust me on that one).
