This property is remote.
Beware the grounds if you arrive late at villa 1 as there are many small holes on the lawns, where you can twist an ankle.
Do not walk under the coconut trees because of falling coconuts. Of course.
The pool has had the area of tiling near the steps removed and the two tiles at the bottom are at an angle.
There is no ventilation in the bathroom and you cannot open any window. Blinds control not working of course.
Alcohol… Didn’t you bring any. More fool you. When we asked for white wine with our first dinner, we were told that they had none,
But they had red and rose. Rose excellent. So I ordered 3 bottles for the rest of our stay… one arrived.
The closest town has only Bintang. Oh course it is extra $25 AUD to get it. Everything is a struggle here for guests.
When you arrive at any villa you expect basic provisions, perhaps juice and milk. None here. No capsules for coffee machine. No ordinary coffee, just local coffee. No jug to boil water, and of course no containers to even make our own ice from boiled water. There is a water machine that puts out passable hot water but not hot enough for tea or coffee. I asked for a jug or kettle but got an old coffee maker instead. Now I boil water in a saucepan.
The daily disturbance by staff in your villa is amazing.
Staff walk in unannounced no bell, no knock, 2 to 5 boys will suddenly appear which in find a bit rude. We tried to lock the gate but they take no notice. This happens at any time of the day. No knock, no bell. We eventually had to tell management that that was a problem.
You get pressure here. Even before breakfast we are told we have to book a day before. In the middle of our breakfast we were expected to order lunch and dinner.
Snorkeling in front of villa is possible but beware there is always a strong current. Fortunately we are strong swimmers so no worry for us.
And so it goes.
The property is beautiful but centipedes in the bed and under the mattress was the last straw.
