Villa Bali Asri

Awesome ambience...

A very warm welcome at arrival, with fruit juice, fruit, and lovely people. The bedroom was wonderfully cool due to the air conditioning having been left on for our arrival. The villa is very traditional, beautiful and everywhere was as spotless as possible considering the indoor/outdoor living.bed linen and towels were immaculate and smelled gorgeous. Breakfasts were wonderful, and we had the dine in villa experience one evening which was amazing! The staff could not do enough for us. Walk to beach 10 mins, same to Seminyak centre. Would recommend this place and hope to come back.

We travelled as a family of 2 adults and a 9 year old in July 2022. We have mixed feelings about this place. Lets start with the good. The staff are absolutely incredible and work really hard to keep this place clean and tidy. They always greet you with huge smile. Response time during the day is super fast. They come and make your breakfast in the villa too which is perfect. The private pool is incredible. Our son really enjoyed it. You have plenty of clean water to drink in your villa. Bonus. Comfy lounge area and great kitchen to make lunchtime sandwiches. Looks stunning too. Now to the downs. There are no staff after 7pm. So if your air con breaks down or you need drinking water like what happened to us, then you have to wait till the following morning. This sucks when travelling with a child and had I known this I would have booked elsewhere. It's also very noisy in the evenings. So if you're a light sleeper you'll struggle. You don't realise how close to the road this place is. We heard scooters all night, and fireworks every night (I'm assuming from neighbour hotels). We got bitten to death by mosquitoes even though it's not rainy season. I think because there's still water at the back as a water feature with fish in it. The fish are gorgeous. It's beautiful but still water is a no no as the toilet and washing areas are at the back as open-air facilities too. The staff go to great lengths twice a day putting down mosquito coils and spraying the area. It didn't help that our mosquito nets had holes in them too.... which they did replace immediately after we complained. We ran out of clean drinking water at 8pm one evening, called the front desk but only a security man was on duty and said we need to call in the morning. Our air con wasn't working either. So a warm room and no water. Not ideal with a 9 year old. We spoke management about all the issues. They got things fixed, but it was a rather uncomfortable stay for us. We were given complimentary massages for the inconvenience which was lovely of them. Now, the next bit we didn't know till we arrive and it's not the hotel's fault but good for parents to know. The road out of the villa is not well lit, poorly maintained, lots of trip hazards and still water. Very narrow roads with cars and scooters trying to get through. Not safe with buggies or kids. You need eyes at the back of your head ! Otherwise great location. Close to the main square for food, shopping and massages. Tip for you. Get the Blubird taxi app on your phone so you don’t get ripped off and can book cabs conveniently. Do not pay more that 300k rp for a single trip locally. That's the minimum charge if you go 2min down the road or further to Bintang supermarket. Hope this review helps.
