Kilili Baharini Resort & Spa

Kilili Baharini Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"This is my second stay at this hotel. The beachfront location is ideal, with plenty of seating and lounging area to take in the ocean view. Though not necessarily modern, the rooms have a classic elegance about them. The staff is friendly and helpful. The evening mosquito net service is a nice amenity."
