“Loved this Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

I'll start with our HUGE deluxe villa, wow everything you could want. A large private pool and nice grassy area. The bed and bedding top notch. The out door shower was unbelievable and overall privacy, perfect. The included breakfast was terrific. The included lunch or dinner or massage all worth the delux upgrade. The beach area was really nice, a... More

“Simply perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2013

Couldn't have been happier with our Deluxe Single Pavilion. The room, pool, day bed, service and everything was exactly what we wanted. There is nothing like taking a swim in your private pool then walking straight up the stairs into your gorgeous bathroom to take a shower or a soak in the huge bath. We only ventured out of the...

“Too Pricey for that value”

The invitation to review the Bale by our editor was just at our last minute. We made a reservation and yet after 2 weeks we haven’t got any response about the reservation until we call the day before and they emailed us the form to fill up.

Spent six nights at The Bale over Easter on a stress relieving break from our hectic life in Hong Kong. Perfect in every respect. The property itself is beautiful and an oasis of calm and serenity. We used the main pool and restaurant more than the typical guest and virtually had the place to ourselves. The Spa is very good... More

“A James Bond moment.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

The best way to describe this place would be to ask you to recall the Ocean Club (Bahamas) which features in the James Bond film "Casino Royale", starring Daniel Craig. Now, imagine a place that is even nicer and more luxurious, and a fraction of the cost. This is the Bale. My new wife and I were lucky enough to... More
