Date of Stay: 05/02/12 Review Submitted: 05/16/12

The Honeymoon Villa in Candidasa is a great place for spending your honeymoon or just for a getaway! We spent our honeymoon here and had an amazing time. The villa has many beautiful Balinese accents! In addition, it is very clean and cozy! Furthermore, it has amenities that a traveler is happy to have...a kitchen, cell phone, access to wifi, and electrical adapters. The staff is extremely courteous and helpful! The villa was cleaned daily and fresh, beautiful little flower arrangements were placed on the dining table and master bathroom. We really enjoyed our stay and hope that one day we can return!

Stayed with my husband and it was amazing. Jennifer was so sweet and Budi and Pleo will take care of you in any way possible. Don't hesitate to feel comfortable at the Villa to do nothing or have Budi drive you for adventures in other areas...made my honeymoon memorable.

Honeymoon Villa

The Honeymoon villa looks just as the picture portrays it......... but better! Staff was charming and attentive. Only have praise for both of them. Jennifer, the owner was thoughtful, attentive and accessible, (even though she lived in Germany!) Villa walking distance to the center of Candidasa. Limited choice of restaurants in the village for tourists who are looking for cleanliness and gastrointestinal security from bacteria. Given that, we still managed to gain weight.! Candidasa is removed from major towns..everywhere we went seemed to take at least an hour.....except for "White Sandy Beach" (nicest beach nearby) which took 1/2 hr over a very rough road. Would recommend this Villa for someone who just wants to rest, stay at the pool and have not much else on their agenda except to "chill out"

We have been back from our 2 week trip to Bali where we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary, for over one week now. I just wanted to drop you a short email & tell you how delighted we were with our brief, but memorable stay at your beautiful villa. Of all of our accommodation, we liked our stay at your villa in Candidassa the most. Your villa was so well designed, immaculately stylish & beautifully cleaned. We also loved the privacy of the outdoor area & pool. To top off a wonderful stay, we also found your staff to be polite, helpful & yet wonderully unobtrusive. Honestly, I wish we had known & would have booked for 2 weeks instead of 2 days……….we were so sad to leave. Candidassa was a real gem; we loved that we could walk each evening to fabulous restaurants, where we enjoyed great service & food, & had a wonderful day snorkelling on Blue Lagoon, which Buddie organised for us. Would we return (the true test), in a heartbeat & I can honestly say this only about your accommodation on our whole trip, as everything at your villa was just perfect. Thankyou for your hospitality, although absent, the thoughtful ‘extras’ that you leave in the villas are much appreciated. We especially noticed this as the previous villa that we stayed in, although nice, the owners either charged for everything or left no provisions at all, not even soap & the staff were ever present! We also enjoyed listening to Sean’s CD & have become fans! On Buddies insistence we took a CD upon our departure & when we play it, it brings back fond memories of our lovely time at your villa. Again, thankyou so much & hopefully we can return soon & for a longer stay. Kind regards J & D Coffs Harbour

This will be a sweet treat for your next vacation. I don’t normally write reviews but I seriously struggled to find fault with this Villa. The Villa was extremely clean and well maintained with all new appliances and upgrades. What you see is what you get and you will be very pleased at how lovely everything is decorated and put together. The Villa comes fully equipped with a nice kitchen that includes everything you need to prepare meals, two lovely bathrooms and a large walk-in closet. There were even paperback books available for beach reading! We made use of the snorkels for beach trips and enjoyed being picked up, by a boat, for our reef snorkelling trip, 30 meters from our front door. We never used the air conditioning, but always kept the sliding doors open to let the breezes in. The ceiling fans made it more than comfortable. The massages at the Villa were fantastic and strong, they made every night’s sleep a blissful event. The mattress was so comfortable, my husband had to take a peek at the label so we can buy the same one when it's time. The Villa was conveniently located close to shops, beaches and restaurants. Romantic dinners were held every night for a pittance. The owner was very helpful and always responded quickly to answer questions and provide suggestions for daily tourist activities. The information provided at the time of booking, helped us make plans for what we wanted to do, even before arriving. The Villa's great location made driving around that much easier. I recommend the Hot Springs and White Sands Beach for tour trips; the volcano, Bali Safari Park and Water Temple are also a great adventure. Next time we have decided we will go Scuba Diving as we are told there are several sea wrecks worth seeing The staff are what make this Villa truly special. Budi and Pleo ensure 5 star standards are met. The Villa is immaculately clean and the free water provided was a refreshing touch. We spent alot of time with Budi, he made our various trips so interesting, his knowledge of traditional ways made our trip to Bali truly magical. We aim to come back to the Villa as Budi and Pleo make your stay 5 star from morning to night. We have been recommending this place to all our friends. Many Thanks for your great service from the booking process to the end of our stay. We will be back: Great Value for Money.

Dream Honeymoon Villa

Date of Stay: 06/01/11 Review Submitted: 09/22/11

My wife and I made this the initial destination for our honeymoon in Southeast Asia. It was exactly as advertised and reviewed on their website. It was pure bliss, restful and very enjoyable. Budi and Playo were exceptionally gracious hosts, even accommodating our desire for a different breakfast than the norm. Budi took us wherever we wanted to go, including a nearby city, the rice fields, artisan community, White Sand Beach and his native village. The restaurants were so inviting, as they provided free taxi service there and back, although all were within a reasonable walking distance. We especially liked Rendevous for lunch on the water. The gracious infinity pool at the edge of the ocean is about a 30 second walk from the private villa, give the best of both worlds. At the risk of this secret gem becoming more popular, we have been telling everyone about the Honeymoon Villa. It truly is like a dream. Thank you for providing such a wonderful to start our honeymoon vacation!

My wife & I stayed in the Honeymoon Villa in May 2011. We had an excellent time, the arrangements all went very smoothly. Budi & Playo looked after us very well. The accommodation really is 5 star, very relaxing. The local restaurants are also excellent, particularly La Rouge, Vincents & the Water Garden You don't have to be 55+ to enjoy relaxing in nice surroundings. Budi will show you the sights which appeal to you or leave you to relax.

Thanks for making our stay so wonderful, the villa was so beautiful and relaxing, great pool, very clean gorgeous bathrooms and the boys were great, they provided what ever we asked for when ever we called. Will be back to stay again Candi Dasa is the place to stay away from all the traffic and mayhem of Kuta and has everything you need with many attractions near by. Fantastic food to eat in Vincents and near by places. Thanks to Budi and Playo for making it a memorable holiday you guys are invaluable. Again many thanks from Mick and Sam

My wife and I had a fabulous honeymoon here at Candi Dasa! The property is lush. Very clean and stylishly decorated. Spacious and practically designed with an outside shower area if you are just coming out of the pool. Great TV and DVD set up if you want to chill and stay in and a very helpful guy at hand called Budi who will take you on day trips if you wish. Budi's knowledge of the local area is great. He is very chilled and advises with no agenda other than for you to have a good time. Internet connection was great too. We were unable to have the appartment for two of the nights but the owner sorted out an alternative for us on the same site which went way above and beyond. Very easy to contact and make arrangements and very friendly. We would both recommend this property without hesitation. It was exactly what we expected.

Great stay in Bali

Guest: AN (Houston, TX)
Date of Stay: 01/04/11 Review Submitted: 01/19/11

We checked in at this lovely location on January 4th, around 7 30 pm. My initial reaction was - This villa is gorgeous but the surroundings are way too isolated. The first night we didn't see anybody around and I was initially spooked out a bit. But the next morning went we went for breakfast to the cafe we saw many people and that kind of lessened my anxiety. The view from the cafe in the day time is surely the USP of the entire Bali Santi property. While eating breakfast the view from the cafe is pure bliss. The villa is awesome and every smallest detail is planned. The owner Jennifer has also kept different brands of sunscreen in case you forget to get yours. The outdoor bathroom is great. Although I would recommend one look up to make sure no one is removing coconuts from trees before you get down to your basics. The lighting in the villa is very subtle and romantic. Just what you need on a break like this. The USP of the villa is the private pool with sunbeds. With a depth of about 4.5 feet you don't have to worry about not knowing how to swim either. On the whole, I would give the villa a 9.8/10. You must try Vincents restaurant in Candi dasa. We went there about 3 times during our week stay. Budi and Playo are very helpful, Budi especially. Budi took us around and told us the local history about many of the places. Kintamani volcano and its surroundings are absolutely breath taking. Although we were not very impressed by the buffet lunch we got served at the restaurant near the volcano. One location I would really recommend to people is Dreamland beach near Nusa Dua. You will really get to see the bluest of the blue waters there. Absolutely fantastic. A big thanks to Jennifer for coordinating everything and for Budi to making our trip a memorable one. Cheers AN and KG

Christmas at the Honeymoon Villa

Guest: David and Jane (London England)
Date of Stay: 12/09/10 Review Submitted: 12/28/10

My wife and I stayed at the villa for 3 weeks spanning the Christmas period as a chill out stop in our round the world trip of a life time. The pictures of the villa only just do it justice. Everything is supplied and is impeccably maintained by Bhudi and Playo who looked after our every need with a smile. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Playo's scrambled eggs and bacon are the best! Whilst enjoying the five star accommodation we have also enjoyed this beautiful unspoilt part of Bali where the local fascinating and colorful culture continues to be such a strong influence on the everyday lives of the local people who, we have to say are delightful in every way. We both feel we have been privileged to have enjoyed such an insight into their life style. Be sure to visit Tenganan, Ubud, the While Sand Beach and Kintamani to see the volcano and enjoy lunch at the restaurant recommended by Bhudi. We would endorse the other reviewers opinions on the local eating establishments - a good choice and good prices - enjoy!

Having just returned home after 5 nights in Bali Honeymoon Villa, I would strongly recommend it as a honeymoon destination,, or just a place to relax for that special holiday. The best feature was the space and privacy in the villa. The staff were excellent, villa was spotless and everything as new. Location was prefect - few minutes walk to a large variety of restaurants and shops.

Honeymoon Villa, Candidasa

Date of Stay: 08/15/10 Review Submitted: 08/27/10

Just completed two weeks in the villa, and it was fantastic. The pictures above make the villa look nice, but they don't do it justice, it is amazing. Budi and Playo are very attentive and will meet all your needs, Budi also has fantastic knowledge of the island and is a great tour guide. Candidasa is a lovely village, very relaxed but also has everything you need and some fantastic resteraunts (We found Toke and Joglo the best). There are also several souveniour shops selling lots of little handicrafts for reasonable prices. The local 'White Sand Beach' is also amazing, crystal clear waters and we swam out to a lovely coral area complete with thousands of fish. Budi's village is also a great visit, has some amazing woven fabrics. Another visit which was only around one hour drive was the safari park, where we rode elephants and saw lots of amazing animals, a very nice day out. A massive thanks to Jerry, Budi and Playo, we hope to visit again. Jamie and Gemma.

Date of Stay: 07/31/10 Review Submitted: 08/13/10

Absolutely everything about this property is wonderful! When we arrived it was even better than the pictures - a completely enclosed, tropical garden, totally private, blue lights through the pool, water running from a fountain, low level lights around the garden and Playo, waiting for us with a welcome drink. Budi had already picked us up from the airport, made us feel really welcome and then tolerated us falling asleep in the back of the car following our 28 hour journey to get here - which was totally worth it! The villa has everything you could possibly want in terms of home comforts - and then more. Budi and Playo keep it spotlessly clean, and are always available to help with anything. Budi suggested various places to visit, and then arranged the car and was our driver whenever we wanted - but also made the trips really enjoyable as he explained about his culture, the island and so on - it was like being shown around by a friend. The owner wrote to us ftequently before we left, not pushing, just to make sure that everything we wanted or hoped for would be on hand, and also wrote while we were at the villa to double check everything was fine. We went diving while we were here - and can recommend the Shangrila Dive Center - really friendly, very professional and a great dive guide in Wayan. Candidasa is well positioned for seeing interesting places, it is a small village/town, with a number of good restaurants (Toke, Vincents, Le 48, Water Garden just a few of them) However, if you want the high life - late night drinking, clubs, lots of people, then it's not for you - most places are closing up by 10.30pm. If you want to drink in your own villa (spirits/wine) then you need to bring some with you - you can buy spirits but not in many places and they have huge import duty on them. The villa itself is just on the outskirts of Candidasa - which we liked - we enjoyed the walk in and out of the center, and if we didn't feel like walking, there are taxis everytwhere, which are really cheap, with helpful drivers. You can probably tell, we loved it here, and could keep on going, talking about it - nothing to fault!

Date of Stay: 07/18/10 Review Submitted: 07/25/10

My fiancée and I thought we would get in a little before our honeymoon and try the accommodation at HoneyMoon Villa Bali. We chose the premises because it had been recommended to us by a friend who had stayed here. We were met at the airport by Budi, who was our tour guide for the week. Budi and Playo are young local Balinese men, who where courteous, professional and made our time at the villa special. They ensured we had everything we needed and organized our trips around the island. Both men are from local villages. The villa is outstanding. It is an oasis which provides seclusion and privacy in gorgeous and immaculate settings. It is just a short walk to the ocean and a short walk to dozens of excellent local restaurants and shops. The pictures on the website don’t do the villa justice. It is incredible. We had an outstanding 8 day trip and cannot wait to come back to the villa again. Thank you to Jerry, Budi and Playo for the best vacation we have had. Sean & Jenn

The villa proved to be just like the photos and the other reviews - excellent. We had a lovely, comfortable stay and such attention to detail; especially enjoyed the outside shower! Budi took us on some great trips and was extremely helpful and discreet. Some very good restaurants within walking distance although some dodgy pavements, typical of Bali! We moved on to 2 other centres but the east has a charm of its own and well worth experiencing. A great spot for a holiday and to be recommended.

As first timers to Bali we could not experience better introduction than via our stay in Honeymoon Villa in Candi Dasa. We are so happy we decided to throw away the initial plans to stay in holiday resorts or boutique hotels as your seamless holiday concept is much better. The villa is extremely comfortable thanks to new furniture and equipment, with ideal design for a couple and very nicely decorated - so important if you are on holiday. What makes real difference is Budi and Playo - what a fantastic and nice people! Both of them always positive and willing to help to make our stay truly wonderful. We have spent a lot time with Budi on tours and enjoyed it very much. We appreciated his local knowledge and willingness to show us as much as possible - having a personal driver makes a lot difference to your holiday. Jerry, Budi and Playo, thank you very much to all 3 of you, this was really an amazing experience and we will more than happy to come again in the future! Ondrej and Monika

You are lucky you have found very good people working for you ;-). Yesterday we also got the possibility to meet Budis family, very friendly people; we had some "Babi Guling" there. Also with the Candi Bakery we are very lucky, we enjoyed a very good German "sauerkraut", "Leberkäse" and the "Bretzel". After not having German food for some month this was a happening for us.
