Bali Villas

Kanishka provided us with the ideal holiday in Bali! It is centrally located in Seminyak. Just walk out the door and there are all the shops, restaurants and facilities. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean. Our room came with a private pool. The staff are friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Kanishka!

Tucked away in a quaint village far from the maddening crowds in Canggu et al, this is a retreat to recharge and get away from it all. The property is architecturally interesting and the room is unusually vertical, designed as a treehouse, with a bathtub and open air relaxing area at the top. The infinity pool is surprisingly deep, and there is a natural cascading waterfall right in front of it. Absolutely hidden gem of a place.

Have a great stay here. The hotel is clean, the staffs are friendly; but as Bali is habitats island, so still will have some insects and leaves in the room sometimes. It’s acceptable. Very convenient location. It’s not as crowded as Canggu beach area but not too far from there. Grab only took around 5-10 mins to those spots.

We have recently returned from a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable 10 night vacation at Vivara Private Pool Villas & Spa Retreat in Jimbaran, Bali. Our aim was to get away from our busy life and take a complete break. The resort comprises 48 beautiful, private, self-contained pool villas, most of which are one or two-bedroom. Each villa is like your own home-away-from home, with pool decking and lounges, an alfresco kitchen bungalow (with a daily replenishment of non-alcoholic drinks in the mini bar), outdoor rain shower and bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with lounge area. It is clear that the resort aims to make every guest’s experience as comfortable as possible. As we were so comfortable in our villa, we were determined not to become complete ‘holiday recluses’ and, despite room service being the option for many of the guests, we always walked to the poolside restaurant for breakfast each morning, afternoon tea every second day, before feasting on a fabulous evening dining experience on alternate evenings. Needless to say, we did not leave Vivara hungry! The resort is like a small community, and staff are more than happy to transport you to and from your villa using golf buggies, or you can take advantage of the communal bikes and scooters and ride around the resort pathways. Additionally, a complimentary shuttle service to and from Jimbaran Beach is available, and times are customised to guests, creating a very personalised and welcome service. Being a spa retreat, we indulged in five deep tissue massages each, and they were a highlight of our stay. The private bungalows are built in a traditional Balinese style, are quiet and calming, and the masseuses provided a comfortable, relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Thank you, so much. The heart of the resort, though, is the staff. They were all, without exception, incredibly friendly, helpful, and always keen to converse and learn about their guests, or share their insights into Bali. We cannot recommend the Vivara staff highly enough. Thank you, Keke, and all your staff, for making our stay so enjoyable. We loved being immersed in the Balinese style of the resort, and Vivara did not disappoint as the ideal place for us to unwind and relax. We have no hesitation in recommending Vivara to any visitors searching for the same experience.

Amazing experience, place is unique and magnificent, stuff are very kind especially Priska. Food is food and prove reasonable. One more doubt , if you are a person who don’t like the noise and nature sound , it’s a place in the middle of the jungle so you need to think twice . The privet pool is good but I think the resort need to cover it more because some places are clear and the neighbors can easily sneak. Overall, great experience

Stayed at Sanur Art Villa several time at different room type. The place is secluded and definitely need google maps to find it. :-) Studio room, similar to regular hotel room with backdoor to swimming pool. The room downtairs is better then the upper floor. 1 of the room was having problem with the leaking plumbing, so there was a pond of water in the bathroom. I called the maintenance and still didnt solve the problem. This is the upper room. 1 bed room Villa with private pool is nice. Secluded and has its own gate. Dining and living room are at the lower floor and 2nd floor is all the room. It was clean, with kitchen area and dining room enough for family of 4. The Bedroom and bathroom upstairs was also good and clean, nice clothes hanger in the spacious bathroom. I like this room better than the studio. 2 bed room villa is the similar condition with the 1 bedroom. Great for family stay. Overall, it was a good experience, and avoid the studio room on 2nd floor if you can. Price wise is worth it for regular stay. They also have monthly rate during pandemic. I would recommend traveler who wants privacy and nice relaxing time at private pool.

Awesome resort in the center of Ubud. We can enjoy beautiful scenery of campuhan hill, and swim in infinity pool. The ambience is so calm and relaxing. In the morning we can walk to campuhan hill or just sit and relaxe in the resort. I love the room, large and has a luxury Bali style house... perfect for couple and family. The breakfast is nice, and the best is spagetty 💕👍

As I reached the villa at about 2pm but did not notify the counter staff about my earlier arrival, I had to patiently wait till 3pm for my booked villa to be made available. So, I walked to the nearby cofffee shop to kill time whilst waiting for the 3pm check-in time. The nearest coffee shop was located at less than 1km away from the villa. Generally, eatery places were made accessible on foot after about 5 - 8 minutes of normal-pace walking. On first glance, the villa's interior design looked great for couples to chill and have fun. Built-in facilities were quite complete with a NetFlix subscription, a bathtub situated right in the middle of the villa, and a private pool. However, most of the additional services in the villa required extra payment (either by cash or by credit card - the latter payment method is preferred by the staff). For example, I wished to have a floating breakfast on the next morning, but I had to pay about 750k+ to rent the basket (the final amount was nearly 900k due to the usual taxes). This particular matter was somehow not explicitly mentioned in the Trip.com website as I booked the breakfast set almost a month ago. Inflatable floats and wines were also charged with reasonable prices. Pool water in the private villa did not seem totally clean, as there was some dirt particles clearly floating on the water surface. As the pool was not fully shielded from above, so it was understandable to observe a few fallen leaves. The surrounding sitting place (with cushions) however, did not seem conducive for prolonged sitting due to the rather filthy appearance. On the next morning, I had to make a gentle reminder call for my breakfast sets to be delivered to the doorstep. I made a call after 10 minutes have passed the originally agreed time. Nevertheless, the pre-ordered food and drink for 2 person were nice. In summary, my short stay (for 1 night only) was considered a good one, but there was certainly room for improvement especially with regards to the pool water quality and the pricing menu shown on the Trip.com webpage.

The location is good, you can only get the corner room which is next to the night club so at night the sound can really be heard all the way to the room. The staff is also friendly, only one thing after checking out was a problem with the motorbike rental because previously the motorbike had been left at the receptionist, and the owner had not yet taken it, it seemed like someone was using it, who knows who, when the motorbike was taken, the helmet was damaged and the petrol was reduced by 2 bar. So I have to be responsible even though everything was still safe before the keys were left with the motorbike. I was a bit disappointed because the owner thought it was my fault.

Here's a revised version of your review: --- **Great Stay, but Checkout Drama** Our stay at this 4-bedroom villa in Canggu was fantastic! It was perfect for our family of two adults, two kids, and a baby. The villa offered plenty of space, a beautiful private pool, and all the amenities we needed. It’s well-located near cafes, restaurants, and shops, yet still quiet and peaceful. However, the drama started at checkout. They accused us of taking a pool towel and even opened our suitcase in front of our children to check, but found nothing. After insisting they check the CCTV footage, it turned out nothing was missing. It seems the housekeeping may have miscounted the towels, but they refused to acknowledge that. I’d advise anyone staying at a villa to ask for a checklist after housekeeping to avoid these kinds of issues—especially when dealing with children in front of them.
