We were very excited to stay at the Alila Studios Resort as we have heard of great things about the resort. Unfortunately our first night was horrific, it was a Friday night arriving from Melbourne. We went straight to our rooms which was on the 2nd level overlooking the bar/night club bar. The music was BLARING straight into the rooms, I made a complaint and the staff member said it'll stop at 12;30am, it didn't stop til 3;00am. Next morning we requested to be moved to the opposite side of the hotel, thank goodness you could not hear the bounding blaring music. Please be aware of this if you stay here, music is played every night, so make sure you stay on opposite side of night club.
The Alila Studios are rooms only, in order to use facilities you need to catch a buggy to main resort, it was very easy and buggies came every 2-3 min. The pool area which overlooks the beach is relaxing and comfortable, sometimes there was not enough sunbeds which was a problem. Eventually once one was found, you were given two bottles of water/cold flannel. There are three pools to choice from. Afternoon tea is served from 4:00 til 5:00 everyday and it's complimentary. Well equipment gym, with yoga and other classes on offer. There is a section were bean bags are aligned overlooking the beach, very popular to view the sunset. Cookies were a treat, which were delivered every evening to your room. Alila beauty products were replenished every day, shampoo, conditioner, body milk, shower gel.
