Guest Review: I loved everything about the Alila, hence my continual return. There have been some changes to the Alila since my last visit, but they did not interfere with the excellent service and facilities. The food, drinks, deserts, Tea Time are all delicious. The Spa is one of my favorite activities when I stay at the Alila. The therapy staff are excellent, the atmosphere is so wonderfully inviting. All the staff that I encountered there are friendly and helpful. A few that always make my stay extra special are: Juni, Widi, and Sanuka (massage therapist, I think I am spelling her name wrong). Juni accommodated my stay when my flight was changed, and I was moved to another even more beautiful Villa. Widi checked on me every morning to make sure my breakfast was perfect and that I had my oat latte coffee just the way I liked it. I can go on and on about the wonderful service and care I received during my stay.
