Despite staying in world-class resorts and luxurious hotels, some guests might still have their qualms about using the pool facilities. From the all-age crowd and hectic scenes to the long trip from and to your room (wet walk, yikes!), it’s no wonder that some guests just pass on the thought of pool activities.

If you agree with this, then the concept of “Direct Pool Access” must sound like a dream come true.

The room is brightly lit and leads straight to the sunny paradise with endless pool features so you can splash away and have fun simply relaxing and chilling out together on your long awaited Bali holiday.
