    It’s not a negative but just something to consider if you have young children in the group - the rooms are all separate, children have to walk outside if they wake in the night. Also there are deep fish ponds off the living area. The staff were great and helped organise a pool fence to stop our toddler falling in the ponds, was very helpful.

    Great pool area, very relaxing, lots of space

    Airport transfer arranged by owner of villa was perfect, decent safe car and driver . The view of villa was spectaculair. Inhouse massage was cheap and best of Bali trip. Morning Coffee served by staff on the terrace was wonderfull. We loved our stay, special thanks to Kadek and her team.

    The breakfast offered was very basic and anything else was an add on to the marketing expenditure. Cost of marketing for food and drink was billed on departure. It was not a supermarket or store invoice with 20% added but a hand written list of groceries some of which we queried with an hour taken as we adjusted the amount claimed.

    This Villa exceeded our expectations. The staff couldnt do enough for us and were amazing. They organised our boat tour, restaurant delivery, motorbikes, in house massage, cooked us breakfast, made our mojitios. They made our holiday! The pictures didnt do it justice. Highly recommend! We will be back!

    The location was incredible. The property was fully staffed. The 6 children had plenty of space to play and we could still keep an eye on them. The beds were SO comfortable and amazing pillows! The turtles in the fish pond were gorgeous and the children loved feeding the fish! The staff cooked us a fantastic suckling pig and other meals that we paid for.

    Jacuzzi was not working and one of the room's doors cannot be locked. We could live with it, nonetheless. Will be good if they can be repaired soon.

    A good place for extended family to stay together. The villa is beautiful and clean, and staff are friendly and helpful. There is also security officer at night unlike other villas that we have read in the news with break-ins. This gave us more assurance.

    From the moment i booked this villa i was surprised by the welcoming messages from the owners and the manager. The villa is amazing just like in the pictures if not better. It's so spacious and comfortable. The facilities are great. The pool is amazing. Very clean and comfortable. Love the bed nets around all the beds. The beds all comfortable and each room has bathroom with full standing bath. The villa.has everything you could want. Most of all I was surprised by the management as this villa has full staff including a security guard that monitors the premises from the time the staff leave until they come back in the morning. I truly never felt more safer anywhere than here. And the staff was so wonderful and accommodating. They were there when you needed them and out of the way when you didn't. The manager was wonderful and tried to fulfil all our requests. The cooked for us, they also made a special birthday BBQ for my daughter and decorations. We had a wonderful time here and will definitely come back. I highly recommend this place as its special and you will be truly looked after here. Thanks again to the owners Joroen and Ida, and manager Agustini and all the staff.

    No complaints.

    The Villa is in a great location especially if you want to go snorkelling but also if you want to do a day trip to any location on the east side of the island. The rooms themselves are well furnished and each have the luxury of private ensuite bathroom. Overall great spot for a family holiday.

    Fantastic villa by the sea. We stayed only 3 days and the only thing that could be improved is breakfast, they are exactly calculated as you want, eg an extra pancake may be a problem. For longer stays, it is worth asking for shopping.

    This was an unexpected, amazing place to stay! Every one was very attentive, helpful and professional. The location was very good as well. It was very easy to walk to restaurants and shopping. We were picked up by drivers for tours and diving. Have already recommended this villa to our friends.

    Spectacular seafront Villa with amazing staff

    The villa is not brand new and no longer pristine, due to the high humidity, there’s small signs of wood decay on the floor boards and cupboards, and mould on the grout between tiles, but nothing major that detracts from the overall experience of staying here.

    Spectacular oceanfront location. There are 3 ocean front villas, separately owned, two of which are managed by same personnel. Dian, the manager is lovely and super helpful, we pre arranged beverages and food ahead of our arrival. (They charge cost plus 30% service, the latter includes the preparation and serving of the food and beverages.) We had a large bundle of laundry done for about IDR 122k Ultra comfortable beds. Super friendly staff - consisting of a team of 8 including 2 security staff, garden / pool caretaker, 2 villa valets and a cook. Highlights: early morning coffee by the pool overlooking the ocean, lying by the pool being offered beer / water, steak barbecue by the pool on our last night. Highly recommend.

    Luxury oceanfront villa in Candidasa

    There are only a few small things that could possibly warrant complaint (but these are minor against the overall stay): - the pillows were way too soft and uncomfortable for my personal preference - the spa didn’t work - the bathroom has open walls at the ceiling that face into the courtyard and I was really uncomfortable going about my daily business with the staff within hearing range. This might not be an issue for everyone but it did cause me a good deal of anxiety!

    Villa Kaniksa is the most spectacular luxury Villa set on the ocean with direct access to the sea. The villa has four king beds all with ensuites, a kitchen pod and a big central open dining & living hut. The decor is contemporary island style with solid wood furniture carved with Balinese motifs, wicker lounge setting with comfortable cushions for relaxing to read a book under cover or watch TV (Netflix is available but we didn’t use it). The bedrooms are lovely and well appointed. As there was only the two of us we only used the master bedroom which is spacious, has heavy duty air conditioning, a large walk-in wardrobe, big bathroom with spa. The bed is a four-poster with enclosed sheer nets and was super comfortable. With the breezy bed nets we felt like we were sleeping in a medieval romance movie! The gardens are incredible: the grass is lush and soft, the surrounding plants a tropical delight, and the abundance of wildlife was beautiful (chorus of birds, geckos, dragonfly & hermit crabs). My first evening, I had a massage next to the pool, at dusk with the birds chirping and the waves lapping. It was truely heaven on earth! The staff are so accommodating and friendly. They are helpful but never intrusive. They go about their work at intervals and when needed, otherwise they give you privacy. The food that was cooked by the chef (Su the talented resort-trained chef) is delicious and of the highest quality. The menu has many options and it’s easy to plan the day before for the meals the following day (we did go out for two lunches and a dinner and then had the rest of our meals at the Villa over our five days). Chicken BBQ, crumbed chicken, salads and Nasi Goreng was exceptionally good for dinner, club sandwiches by the pool for lunch & breakfasts of tropical fruit, eggs or pancakes with fresh watermelon juice & coffee eaten from the long dining table overlooking the garden, pool and out to the ocean.
