The positive. The beautiful swimming pool which had an aesthetic appeal. The Balinese staff were lovely and helpful. The not so good. The location is 2km away from the beach and if you don't have a scooter and wish to rent one, you will be stuck in “paradise” and will thus have to rely on a driver which will have to be pre arranged. The WiFi connectivity is awful. I know it’s paradise but these days WiFi is a commodity rather than a luxury. We only had breakfast which was very basic. Dinner was available, but only up to 7pm, so if you don't have any transport to take you to the numerous great restaurants at the beach, you might go to bed hungry. My main concern was that Michael, the manager/owner, was condescending and patronizing from the moment we arrived and proceeded to remind us of the many rules that apply in this establishment. - there is an extensive list in the room in case you forget. After requesting a scooter, he proceeded to remind me of the many dangers and pitfalls associated with riding a scooter in Bali, which I am sure is necessary for many of his guests. I had advised him that I am a seasoned and licensed motorbike rider having ridden in Bali before and yet he still felt the need to proceed with his lecture. In short, if you are going to rent a scooter, do it privately rather than involving Michael as he will manipulate the situation including the rental period, cost of rental, and petrol price whilst making you feel like a child in the process.

This place is magical, we had a wonderful experience. Tony and his family were very helpful and accommodating. Yummi breakfast and inviting pool; the room was beautiful, and the open-air bathroom design was stunning. The only downside was the road in, it could do with being paved, and maybe heated water for the bathtub. That being said, we would stay again in a heartbeat, exceptional overall experience, terimah kasih Tony.
