We spent 5 nights in a 2 bedroom villa. Wins: Monica on reception and all the night staff – super friendly and helpful and fast to respond to WhatsApp messages 24/7. Silence and privacy – apart from geckos, birds and the odd noisy neighbour it was super quiet, no road noise at all from our villa! Money changer right out the front, good coffee (I’m a snob) short walking distance in all directions, Minimart a short walk, air con super cold, sun loungers super comfy, big umbrella for shade, full kitchen facilities if needed, big fridge and freezer. Rooms were spacious and bright but had sufficient curtains/blinds to keep the sun out. For those who love TV they all work perfectly and can be connected to streaming services. Excellent WIFI. Laundry service 10/10. Non-wins: Lack of hooks or racks for hanging towels and bathers, there wasn’t a single one in the whole villa, not even bathrooms. All doors were very hard to lock, didn’t bother me but could be a concern for others, and the main entry doors were very flimsy. The pool was always full of bugs, leaves and flowers and the filter didn’t seem to function very well, again we weren’t that fussed but others might be. The garden beds around the pool could do with a tidy up. No packaged mineral water provided free as it is at all other accommodation I have experienced in Bali. No hand soap or hand towels provided for handwashing in bathrooms. Neither win or loss but worth sharing: The bathrooms are 100% inside, not outdoor like many in Bali. The street outside was very quiet, often the cafes, salons, shops were completely empty which was a real shame as we enjoyed them all at various stages! Taxi drivers struggled to find the villa so we always gave a pick up point at a pizza shop across the road.
