8. Common Complaints
While reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some minor points of criticism or considerations for potential guests include:
- Beach Club Vibe: The COMO Beach Club, while pleasant, is often described as very family-oriented and can be busy with children. Guests looking for a more intense party atmosphere might prefer other beach clubs in the area.
- Modern Architecture: The hotel's modern, sophisticated architecture may not appeal to all travelers seeking a traditional Balinese aesthetic.
- Balcony Views: In some residences, there's a possibility of looking into another guest's balcony, though this is generally not considered a significant issue.
- Beach for Swimming: While great for surfing, Echo Beach itself is not always ideal for swimming, with guests often preferring the hotel's pools.
