Bali Dynasty Resort Receives Renewed Five-Star Hotel Rating

Bali Dynasty Resort has officially had its Five-Star Hotel rating renewed after a recent Indonesian certification process and audit took place on 19th & 20th June 2019. This detailed evaluation was conducted by Sucofindo, a government-appointed independent business certification board.

Following a thorough examination, the result from the two-day audit showed that Bali Dynasty Resort has successfully exceeded the standard qualifications for a five-star brand, which ranges from the quality of product, services and managerial procedures.

Upon receiving the certificate, General Manager of Bali Dynasty Resort, Mr. Didit Indra stated, “This document re-affirms our promise to be the premier resort for families, leisure and MICE in the heart of South Kuta Bali.

This is the second time that Bali Dynasty Resort has received this prestigious accreditation, which is valid for three years, since June 2016. Such certification not only contributes to the resort’s positive image, it is also an assurance for guests that they will enjoy a great holiday experience.

The certification is a part of a legal regulation by the current Indonesian Ministry of Tourism, which states that all hotels operating in the country must be audited by an independent business certification board.

Given its popularity as family-friendly destination with a high percentage of repeat guests, Bali Dynasty Resort is committed to updating and improving its products, services, and facilities. Each year, the resort makes significant improvements to ensure enhanced holiday experiences while still offering the same great value for money.

Notable upgrades include the opening of the brand-new Sunset Bar, gym and meeting rooms in 2018, the launch of our street-front Gracie Kelly’s Irish Pub in March 2019 and the recent opening of a Premier Lounge that caters to late departing guests. In addition, a 109m lagoon pool and 16 re-designed family rooms with direct pool access will be ready to accommodate guests by mid July 2019. To date, almost every part of the resort has been refreshed and renewed making it the perfect home away from home for international travellers.

Charity Update

Solemen is a registered not for profit Bali Charity that is committed to helping disabled and disadvantaged people on the island. Bali Dynasty Resort has worked closely with SoleMen for many years. 

When the charity first started back in 2016, they were taking care of around 500 people. Today that number is almost 2000, with Bali Dynasty Resort, and supportive guests greatly contributing funds for life-saving operations, equipment for the disabled, and medical care access.

Solemen’s new Bali Dynasy Recovery Centre, generously sponsored by Bali Dynasty Resort, is set to open in July 2019. It is strategically located on the ground floor of the new Solemen Centre in Kuta.

Therefore, we are urgently seeking funds to furnish bedrooms, the kitchen, lounge, and bathrooms. Multiple beds, lounge chairs, kids’ equipment, crockery, cutlery, baby bottles, kitchen cooking items, rice storage, linen, TV, dining furniture and medical suppliers are all needed.

This will be a care facility with a home environment providing support and resources to keep families together before, during, and after medical treatment. It will be a large space with extra bedrooms to accommodate everyone Solemen are caring for.

Solemen’s Outreach Programs benefit the poor, the disadvantaged, the ‘diffabled’, the homeless and the marginalised in Bali. The charity’s goal is to alleviate the misery of extreme poverty by bringing hope and sustainable solutions to those who remain hidden from public view and hence are separated from easy access to medical treatment. Solemen actively reaches people who fall through the cracks and are not helped by the existing network of charitable organisations and government programs.

Every $1 helps in getting this sanctuary ready for those desperately in need.

You can be a part of this exciting project by participating in our Quiz Nights at Gracie Kelly’s, contributing to our Dollar/night program, or giving a straight donation to our charity boxes during your stay or via GoFundMe (https://www.gofundme.com/f/solemen-recovery-centre). We thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

 

Bali Events

Ubud Village Jazz Festival 2019

Ubud Village Jazz Festival is a music festival situated in the artistic surroundings of Ubud Bali, Indonesia.

Since 2010 Yuri Mahatma, a musician, a composer and a music teacher, and a founder of Underground Jazz Movement together with Anom Darsana, the director and owner of ANTIDA Music Productions, had worked together for some routine projects of jazz concerts, each time with different theme.

In the early of 2012 they conceived the idea of a community concert. With the involvement and support of majority of artist communities, the concept of hosting a community concert in this unique village was born.

After six successful years, the Ubud Village Jazz Festival (UVJF) returns again this year carrying the theme “Freedom of Expression”, welcoming many legendary figures from the Indonesian archipelago and abroad, who will come to perform and share their most recent arrangements with the public at Arma Museum Garden. The 7th Ubud Village Jazz Festival will be held on 16-17 August 2019. For tickets and more information, please visit https://ubudvillagejazzfestival.com/about-uvjf.

 

Cultural Events

Galungan

Galungan is an important religious holiday for followers of the Hindu faith that enlivens the whole island of Bali. It marks the beginning of a 10-day festival that essentially celebrates the universal victory of good against evil. The Balinese also believe that Galungan is when the gods and the spirits of deceased ancestors come down to earth to pay a visit.

This year, Galungan falls on 24th July 2019 in accordance to an ancient calendar system that consists of 210 days. Advance preparations involve making elaborate offerings and the ritual slaughter of pigs for a customary feast. Tall bamboo shrines decorated with coconut palm fronds are also erected in the streets and add colour to the occasion.

Galungan Day itself will see Balinese Hindus head home to their ancestral villages to pray in family and community temples. It is a time of togetherness when extended families reunite, enjoy traditional food and connect over shared religious values. A series of ceremonial rituals will be carried out over the follow days and the festivities draw to a close on Kuningan Day. Special offerings will be prepared to honour defied ancestors and symbolically bid farewell as their spirits ascend back to heaven.

Guest Feedback

Actually I choose this hotel because it has the kids club & close to the beach. I was so surprised with the kids club, kids pool & kids activities there. My children were so happy & satisfied. The room is big and it has a sofa bed, it's really for the family with 2 kids. The beach is clean & just for the hotel guest. We'll definitely will go back to the hotel if we visit Bali again.
