My family and I stayed all inclusive for a week at Hotel Lisa Mari and really enjoyed it. We arrived around midnight and although this wasn't a set meal time, we were greeted by a staff member with the option of sandwiches, fruit and drinks, which we really appreciated. As a family of 4 we had two twin rooms which were basic (as expected, we didn't pay for luxury!) but cleaned every day, including bleaching of the floors and emptying of the bins. There was air conditioning included and one of the twins rooms was situated on the top floor and had a beautiful sea view from the balcony which was a treat to wake up to in the morning. The shower was not completely ideal as water tended to splash out past the shower curtain and dampen the floor, but I have to say that the floor tended to dry quickly and the cleaners would clear the water if the floor was wet when they came to the room. The beds weren't the most comfortable. The inclusive meals were varied, lots of salad at every meal but the main dishes were always different, and some were particularly delicious, but nonetheless all very edible and lots to choose from. There were no proper desserts served, even after dinner, although there was always an abundance of fruit (lots of juicy melon). At meal times there were often lots of cats in the area which was not a problem for us as cat lovers, but they would not disturb you if you simply ignored them. The all inclusive drinks were standard but still a nice range, the Lisa Mari cocktail was good. The pool was immaculate and a lovely place to relax and we never had trouble getting a sunbed. We felt welcomed by the pool. Soft music was also played by the pool which was a nice touch yet equally inoffensive if you're not interested by it as it was not played loudly. There was also free wifi by the pool and some other areas such as the lobby, but unfortunately not in the rooms. The staff were very helpful and friendly, especially Georgiana and Liza who was always very warm and accommodating. The location of the hotel was ideal; a few local shops to pick up the essentials/souvenirs and 2 gorgeous beaches within a 5 minute walk in both directions. It is a quiet place, however if you wished to continue into the night there are plenty of lovely local tavernas; Another recommendation would be the Golden Sun taverna which offered a beach view too. There was nice food and they hosted a special Greek night on the Friday which was great fun - traditional dancing, music and audience participation! There was also a travel excursions shop a 1 minute walk from the hotel if you wish to venture out of Bali, our trip to Chania/Elafonisi was not only stunning (would recommend!!!) but easily booked and they also picked us up right outside the hotel. One slight problem we faced was that we realised neither room had hot water the first day, so we informed the staff at the front desk and they were very efficient at fixing the issue - we had hot water for the rest of the tr
