Bali Family Paradise: Stunning Loft, 5 Min to 66 Beach!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the glorious chaos that is the Bali Family Paradise: Stunning Loft, 5 Min to 66 Beach! And let me tell you, after spending a week there, I've got more opinions than a politician on election day. This isn’t your polished, PR-approved review. This is the REAL DEAL.

First Impressions: Arrival and the "Almost Perfect" Loft
Okay, so the first thing that hits you isn't the salt air, it's the Balinese heat. Whew! But the airport transfer? Smooth as silk. They were waiting, smiling, and whisked us away to our "Stunning Loft." And it was stunning. Think high ceilings, modern minimalist vibes, and enough space for a whole army of kids (or a very enthusiastic yoga instructor).
Accessibility – The Good, the Not-So-Good, and the "Almost There"
Now, here's where things get interesting. The website says "facilities for disabled guests." Which, technically, is true. There’s an elevator, which is a massive win in my book because let’s be honest, lugging suitcases up stairs after a 20-hour flight is a special kind of hell I'd like to avoid. The lobby and some of the common areas are accessible.
Rambling on Accessibility … But…the accessibility journey is a bit… uneven. The loft itself, while beautiful, might present challenges for someone with significant mobility issues. The bathroom, while lovely with its walk-in shower, isn't perfectly designed for accessibility, and the spaces can get a little crowded. I saw a few small steps.
Cleanliness and Safety – A Sigh of Relief (Mostly)
One of the biggest selling points to me was the emphasis on cleanliness. And they weren't kidding! COVID-19? Yeah, they're all over it. Hand sanitizer everywhere, staff masked up (and friendly, too!), and the rooms? Spotless. They even had anti-viral cleaning products. The daily disinfection of common areas was reassuring, and honestly, with kids? I welcomed it!
The Swimming Pool – Paradise Found (with a View!)
Oh. My. God. The pool. Seriously, the pool. It’s an outdoor beauty, and let me tell you, the kids went absolutely bonkers over it. Okay, I did too. Surrounded by lush greenery, it’s the perfect place to just chill and soak up the Bali sun. I remember one morning I was lounging there, listening to my kids' joyful squeals and just feeling such happiness.
Things to Do (or not do) - Relaxation vs. Adventure
The beauty of Bali Family Paradise is its location. 66 Beach? Five minutes away, max! It’s a surfer's paradise, but also a great place to just hang out, watch people, and build sandcastles.
- Ways to Relax: Okay, so the Spa is a must! The classic Balinese massage basically turned me into a puddle of bliss. I swear, I nearly fell asleep on the massage table, I was so relaxed!
- Spa/Sauna: Yes, yes, and yes! Loved it.
- Fitness Center/Gym: The gym isn't enormous, but hey, it's enough to stop from feeling too guilty after the delicious breakfasts.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Food Glorious Food (with Some Hiccups)
- Restaurants: There aren't a ton on-site, but the main restaurant has a good menu—and the Asian-inspired breakfast was glorious (more on that later). The food itself was pretty decent, but I did have to ask for a small extra of something to be added once.
- Breakfast (Buffet/Asian): Okay, the breakfast buffet? A highlight. The selection was vast, from fresh fruit to pastries to the most amazing Asian dishes. I went through about ten tiny pancakes, it was that good.
- Room Service (24-Hour): This came in very handy at 3 AM when a certain little person declared they were suddenly starving.
- Poolside Bar: Essential. Essential to your sanity.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter
- Wi-Fi: Free Wi-Fi in the rooms? Hallelujah! And it actually worked!
- Daily Housekeeping: The little things, like clean towels and a tidy room after the chaos of a family.
- Laundry Service: Thank you, sweet baby Jesus, for laundry service. Bali is humid, and kids are messy. Without laundry, I’d have run out of clothes in two days.
- Airport Transfer: Still a win!
For the Kids – Paradise for the Littles (and their parents)
- Babysitting Service: Yes! Gave us a few precious hours of alone time.
- Kids Facilities: This is definitely a family-friendly place. The pool, the beach, the overall laid-back vibe… kids are welcome (and loved!).
- Kids Meal: Yes, there are kids’ meals.
Getting Around – Smooth Sailing
- Airport Transfer: Spot on and convenient.
- Car Park (free of charge): This is great if you are renting a car. Free parking? Yes please!
Stuff That Could Be Better
- The coffee in the restaurant could use an upgrade. I'm a coffee snob, though, so take that with a grain of salt.
- While the service was generally attentive, there were a few times when something wasn't right: a wrong order or slightly sluggish response times.

Decatur's BEST Hotel? Fairfield Inn & Suites Review!Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is… well, it's my Bali bender, and yours now too. We're talking a week in that dreamy Family Loft, five minutes from 66 Beach. Expect less polished, more… Bali. Let's dive in, shall we?
Bali Bonanza: A Family Loft Fiesta (Prepare for Chaos!)
Day 1: Arrival & Beach Bumming (with a side of jet lag) - Expect the Unexpected
- Morning (Bali Time, which is basically… whenever): Land, land, land! Hopefully, the customs line isn't a hellscape. Pray to Ganesh you don't have to explain your entire life story to the immigration officer. Arrive at the Family Loft - hopefully, it truly is a five-minute walk to that 66 Beach, which is what I've been told so many times, I'm starting to think I'll walk for hours. Immediate emotional reaction? Relief! And a desperate need for a shower.
- Afternoon: Okay, unpacking. (Or "stuffing your luggage under the bed and hoping for the best" - my usual strategy). First impressions of the Loft are a bit underwhelming. It's… spacious, yes. But let's just say "charming" and "slightly worn" are dancing a tango. I’m not sure about the cleanliness but fingers crossed! The kids are bouncing off the walls – literally, I swear they're attempting to climb the curtains. Decide to embrace the chaos. Beach, beach, beach! A quick pep talk: "No expectations." The first wave hits. Beautiful! The kids had a blast, and the waves were much bigger than I expected.
- Evening: Dinner! First Bali meal. We're too tired for anything fancy so, we wander around that 66 Beach, hoping for a hidden gem. We stumble upon a warung (cafe/restaurant) with fairy lights and a local band playing – the vibe is pretty magical, honestly. Ordered way too much food. The kids declared the Nasi Goreng "the best thing ever!" (famous last words, probably). Jet lag hits hard. Sleep? We'll see. I probably didn't sleep all night.
Day 2: Exploring the Surrounds & Scooter Shenanigans (Oh God.)
- Morning: Okay, so the jet lag is real. I'm running on fumes and the kids are already demanding ice cream. We rent scooters. I'm on the back with my youngest, trying not to scream, my husband is driving with our eldest, who is excited. I'm praying to everything holy that we don't crash into anything. It's terrifying, exhilarating, and a total baptism by fire.
- Afternoon: After a few hours of heart-stopping adventures, we're tired, and want to go somewhere else. That place is Tanah Lot temple. The temple itself is stunning clinging to that giant rock, but the crowds… oh, the crowds. I had to fight my way to a good photo spot. (Did I win? Maybe.) The kids got bored immediately. Bought some overpriced trinkets. (I blame the sheer beauty of the place). At least we got some good Instagram shots.
- Evening: We got home, exhausted. We decide to order food from a near-by restaurant. The food was cold, and the kids hated it. We talked for hours.
Day 3: Surf's Up (or rather, Me Trying to Surf While Looking Like a Complete Idiot)
- Morning: Attempting to surf. Okay, maybe "attempting" is generous. I signed up for a lesson. The instructor, bless his heart, was incredibly patient. I spent most of the time either face-planting into the ocean or flailing around like a beached whale. The kids, meanwhile, were already pros, effortlessly gliding across the waves. Humiliation, thy name is surfing!
- Afternoon: Beach time. More beach time. Less surfing. Finally, some actual relaxation. Got to people-watch. Met a few couples, talked for hours.
- Evening: Dinner at a slightly more upscale restaurant (still barefoot – Bali, am I right?). The food was divine. Had a few too many Bintangs (Balinese beer). Saw fireworks on the beach, what a way to end the day!
Day 4: Ubud Day Trip (Spiritual Awakening… or Tourist Overload?)
- Morning: The driver came to take us to Ubud. Another emotional reaction - excited! We drove for a couple of hours to see the rice terraces of Tegallalang – breathtaking! The sheer beauty of the place nearly brought me to tears. We did the Swing. It was amazing.
- Afternoon: Ubud Market. Chaos. Beautiful chaos. The sheer number of vendors, the colors, the smells… overwhelming! Got hustled into buying a few things I definitely didn't need. (But they were pretty, okay?). It started raining. Got soaked. The kids were whining. Embrace the mess!
- Evening: Back at the Loft. The kids wanted to watch movies. I wanted sleep. Settled on a compromise (aka, I lost). Ended up having a pizza night.
Day 5: Spa Day (Finally! I needed this!)
- Morning: Spa day! We are all going to be pampered. The most amazing foot massage of my life. The kids had their first massage. It was hilarious to watch them.
- Afternoon: Lounged by the pool, read a book, and did absolutely nothing. The world needed me to be at peace.
- Evening: Dinner at a restaurant, and bought some souvenirs!
Day 6: Beach Day & Sunset Drinks (Rinse and Repeat… and I'm Okay with That!)
- Morning: More beach. More sun. More sand. The kids built a sandcastle that was epic. (For five entire minutes, until the tide claimed it). I did some exploring and found myself relaxing. Finally, the serenity I'd been craving.
- Afternoon: Packing!
- Evening: Watching the sunset with drinks.
Day 7: Farewell Bali (Until Next Time!)
- Morning: Last breakfast at that amazing cafe. Maybe tears, maybe not.
- Afternoon: Departure. Leaving with a mess of sand, a lighter wallet, and a heart full of memories. It was amazing.
- Evening: Well, now I'm back home- feeling a bit lost.
Final Thoughts:
This isn't a perfect itinerary. It's messy. It's got ups and downs. It's honest. And that, my friends, is the real Bali experience. Come prepared to laugh, to cry (maybe), to get lost, to get sunburned, and to fall completely, utterly in love with this magical island. And don't forget to embrace the chaos. It's part of the fun!
