“I've never before written a bad review, but this place proved to be 'exceptional'.”

On entry, it looks idyllic ... don't trust the pictures you see online. If you value your life and wellbeing (and that's not hyperbole), those 'bungalows' are two stories and the stairs between floors are, frankly, dangerous. Upstairs, a bedroom only (I discount the 'balcony' because it is not fit for purpose unless you want to stand on it to look down on the pool). Downstairs, a room with a couch and TV (mine didn't work, I only tried turning it on to see if it did work, I don't go on holiday to watch TV). The little bar fridge worked fine and I have no complaints about the air conditioning. The bathroom/toilet was also downstairs. Unfortunately, mine smelled a little 'swampy'. Mainly because the shower leaked just enough to ensure the floor was never fully dry, which given the toilet bowl was almost sitting under the shower-head meant that using said toilet in the prescribed manner could lead to wet undergarments unless you were prepared to adapt. And of course, the drain didn't... drain. Smelly. So the rooms were not the best (though I can't actually say I've stayed in worse). Cleanliness, not high on the cleaning staff's agenda. Perfunctory at best. However, aside from the narrow, mountainous staircase, I could have foregone writing this review had it not been for the night staff. The young lady during the day was lovely and helpful (as long as you asked). At change of shift, however, nepotism was on full display because surely no business owner would employ such a lazy, do-nothing youth that wasn't related to them. Closely! And as a hotel guest, a paying customer, you certainly don't want to be sharing the only (meagre) outdoor area with his friends, lounging around and sleeping on the only bench seating available. Personally, I don't expect the night staff to be lounging around with their friends in empty rooms watching TV until the early hours of the morning. And while I can't prove it (I wish I could), I'm 99.9% confident the same employee used my bathroom when we went to dinner - on 2 occasions. He was confronted after the 2nd occasion and it didn't recur. I started taking pictures of the empty bowl before we left for dinner after that. Seriously! Would you like a bottle of water (complimentary in every Balinese hotel/villa/resort I have ever stayed in)? Not from this guy, he expected you to pay. Ask the young lady in the morning for better, quicker results. Breakfast... take it or leave it, I left it. I tried each of three options once and decided after that to walk across the road and get 'breakfast'. Some will probably find it adequate, few would rate it anything above 'good'. I know businesses open and close all the time, but since last year, two 'night clubs' have opened up, side-by-side, directly across the road. They start up around 10 pm, but really ramp up by 12. From then till 2:30-3:30 am if you love the sound of competing bass and drums thumping into your consciousness in preference to sleep, this is the place for you. When we're on holiday, we basically sleep in the rooms - they don't have to be five stars. The place looks great on the website, but it's deceiving. If you're a young backpacker type that wants a 2-night stop-over, you'll probably survive and think I'm talking rubbish (unless you wander over to one of the night clubs, come back drunk and then have to navigate those stairs a couple of times during the night!!). If you're looking for a 'comfortable' place to spend 7/10/14 days or more, take my advice and quickly look elsewhere. This was the first time I haven't heeded my own advice and checked the reviews before booking. If I had, I wouldn't have booked. - I'm not the only one that's had a similar experience.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Easy and quick check-in. We asked for an extra day and it was no problem, and the price was very fair and below the price on hotels.com. All in all, a wonderful experience on a lovely island.

“Great experience”
Our stay was great. We enjoyed every bit of it. The staff is really kind and nice. Breakfast was good and freshly prepared. We really enjoyed the trips they offer at the reception for a good price. The pool was also clean. We would highly recommend it! ☺️☺️
