Arriving in the late morning, the small thatched house in Bali style with an outdoor shower and beautiful furnishings was a charming surprise. The room was spacious, featuring a lovely sitting area in the front and an outdoor shower. The towel change and anti-insect incense during sunset/dinner time added a thoughtful touch to the experience. However, the dining options were limited to a simple breakfast selection.

I was thrilled with the stunning location of the hotel, right by Bali's serene blue waters and surrounded by attentive staff. The rooms, while lovely and clean, provided a traditional style experience with covered porches, though my daughter wished for the luxury of sleeping closer to the water. The dining experience left much to be desired with limited options, but the excellent service made up for it. It was an unforgettable immersion into the country.
