Review of Nikko Benoa Beach in Tanjung Benoa, Bali.

The main lagoon-shaped pool at Nikko faces the beach and features lots of natural shade, sun loungers, a swim-up bar, and a separate shallow area for kids.

Nikko Benoa Beach – Family-friendly, with a traditional design and terrific location.

This truly appealing resort features staff dressed in Balinese clothes, corridors lined with traditional sculptures, and rooms and gardens more tastefully designed than other resorts. The spacious Deluxe Rooms feature a modern Balinese décor, spa baths, and small patios/balconies. Only the pricier Ocean View Suites offer any glimpses of the sea. The beachside lagoon-shaped pool with swim-up bar is enticing and the young ones would relish the colorful kids club. About halfway along the peninsula, the Nikko is surrounded by shops and cafés, and is adjacent to a major water sports center. This does, however, affect the tranquility of the resort beach, though a section of the sea is cordoned off for swimming.
