DENPASAR, Bali <\/strong>\u2014 In Bali\u2019s booming property market, promises are easy to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luxury apartments. Boutique restaurants. High-return investments tied to the island\u2019s tourism surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But behind some of those glossy developments, a different story is beginning to surface: unpaid vendors, halted construction, and foreign investors left questioning where their money went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the center of the allegations is Tavolo Group, a company reportedly operated by two American brothers of Bosnian origin, Edo and Ado Dozofik. Multiple local vendors and a project consultant allege the group raised significant funds for projects in Canggu and Kerobokan, while leaving behind unresolved payments and unfinished work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One furniture vendor said he completed work worth nearly Rp1 billion for apartment showroom units, receiving only partial payment before the project stalled for almost a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was no funds,\u201d the vendor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another source described what he called a recurring pattern: older obligations left unpaid while new contractors were brought into ongoing projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t finish paying the old vendors,\u201d the source said. \u201cThey just leave them behind and move to new contractors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Tavolo<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A consultant involved in the Kerobokan project described a similar experience, alleging that work often proceeded through verbal instructions rather than formal written agreements, creating uncertainty once payments stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tavolo Group denied all allegations, stating that all professional relationships had been conducted \u201cwell and transparently\u201d and that payments followed contractual agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No supporting documentation was publicly provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the disputed sums are relatively modest by global investment standards, the case highlights a growing vulnerability inside Bali\u2019s fast-moving property economy: projects marketed internationally, but operating within blurred lines of informal trust, weak oversight, and limited legal certainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many foreign investors, Bali still sells the image of opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for vendors waiting to be paid, and investors still waiting for returns, the island\u2019s property boom increasingly comes with a harder question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is actually watching where the money goes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
