The staff at the villa really made our stay. We Barunaa, Madi x2, Maura and Moli. They were attentive and welcoming. They kept out of sight. Moli took us everywhere and gave good recommendations. I didn't meet Hery but he attended to all of our requests.
During our stay there was heavy rainfall. This affected the drainage system, and the bottom bedrooms and bathrooms smelt of sewage. The bathrooms in a while we're disappointing. They are in need of a refurb. The tiles were water stained, had mold and they smelt of damp. Some of the bathrooms had big holes in the roof, which let foliage, and potentially animals in.
The rooms were a nice size and had simple amenities, such as a wardrobe, bedside table and mirror. The beds were comfortable but they needed updating as the base of the bed were stained.
The pool was beautiful we swam every day. The daybed above the filter and pumps was nice, but smelt of sewage.
The driveway to the villa needs to be concreted over as in the downpour constantly wading through mud and god knows what.
The kitchen and staff quarters need to be refurbished. The kitchen is tiny there is no good area for the staff to sit. The walkway to the kitchen is an uncovered alley muddy, wet and dinghy.
The location was in walking distance to the town, where you can get food, alcohol and souvenirs. Everywhere else is accessible.
It's a 30 min walk to Seminyak beach, which is doable on a milder day.
For the price of the villa, I expected more. It needs refining for it to be outstanding. It wouldn't take much investment to get it to that standard.
For comparison we stayed in Ubud for a couple of days, the cost of the ubud villa was half price per day and the finish and experience was exceptional.
Don't get me wrong. We enjoyed our stay but the comfort experience was disappointing.
