I ate here several times while staying at the Marriott. The food was always really good and the service is excellent. The staff are so nice and always friendly. I highly recommend the steak and chicken tacos. The veggies are really good too. Plus you can sit right in the pool and get great chill views. It's paradise even with kids splashing nothing came in the restaurant. It is really well designed and peaceful. Hope this helps.

I recently dined at Dapur Santai Pool Bar and Grill, and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere is vibrant and relaxing, perfect for enjoying a meal by the pool. The Nasi Goreng was absolutely outstanding—flavorful, aromatic, and packed with fresh ingredients. It’s a must-try for anyone who loves authentic Indonesian cuisine! And the steak? Simply divine! Cooked to perfection, it was tender and juicy, bursting with flavor. It paired beautifully with their selection of sauces. The service was exceptional, with staff who were attentive and friendly. Overall, I highly recommend Dapur Santai for anyone looking for delicious food in a gorgeous setting. Can't wait to return!

One of the best places to eat in Nusa Dua, great food, very clean kitchen and very nice staff. The place looks very good and the dishes even if a little more expensive than the restaurants around, are big and tasty. Would recommend it if you are staying around. (We came from Hyatt where the prices were double :)

We had a truly beautiful dinner at Marriott Nusa Dua Bali. The ambience was serene and relaxed, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. During our meal, one of our drinks accidentally tipped over — a little mishap that left us feeling quite guilty. But to our surprise and delight, Mr. Wira, the manager, came over with such warmth and understanding, and kindly replaced the drink without hesitation. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a reflection of impeccable service. From start to finish, we felt genuinely cared for. Moments like these turn a great dinner into a memorable one. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality — we truly enjoyed every moment.

First day checked in, flight delayed for more than two hours. Tired restless. Just wanna eat to fill up. Went to in house restaurant (DS) Went for seafood options, everything was just marvellous. The grilled fish to the barramundi, the prawn to the squid skewers. (All comes with choice of sauce pairing and sides of rice, whipped potato or French fries and one more can’t remember) Service from staff was also excellent. Came at right timing to check on us, our meals, clear plates, pour wine etc It was an enjoyable dinner even when our spirits were down and tired. Cheers to the front and kitchen team for delivering an amazing experience.

Limited main course menu. Expensive food/drinks. Nice ambiance surrounded by pool called lazy river. Friendly staff. Part of Marriott. Food portion is small so one dish is enough for one person

The food was amazing! I had a brief visit to Bali for the weekend and was staying at Marriot’s Nusa Dua Gardens. I was barely spending time at the hotel but there was one time when I had lunch with a friend at Dapur Santai. Lovely ambience and the food, especially Nasi Goreng, was amazing.
