Positive points: This is a very special place. I had visited Balian in 2014 for its perfect left hand break. This visit was to reset mentally. Balian Prana allowed us to do just this. Mr Dwi and his small team were welcoming, there when needed and absent when not required. We felt that for 2 lovely days, this place was ours. There was another family in the other presidential villa across and back from us, although we never really felt they were there. nWe ordered in from local restaurants, which was fine as there is no typical kitchen /room service other than for breakfast, but this was just fine. It added to the non-hotel, secluded feel which is what we were looking for. nOur dinners ordered in were enjoyed on the balcony of the main house in which the attentive staff assisted us with setting up. All this while allowing our minds to run free as light danced off the swimming pool and ocean beyond from beautiful sunsets.
Negative points: Leaving.
Positive points: Spacious, quiet, peaceful, easy access to beach
Negative points: Not too many restaurants around the area
Positive points: I love the place we're staying, the gorgeous view, and the great services. The interior design is also stunning as well as the garden. It was such a perfect place for us to stay during NYE.
Negative points: It's not their fault, but there aren't a lot of Western restaurants nearby. Which makes it hard for food options.
Positive points: Very charming house with stunning ocean view.
Negative points: Cleanliness, breakfast and facilities could’ve been better.
Positive points: The location is quite remote and it’s exactly what we wanted. The property is beautiful, spacious and tastefully decorated, the room is the epitome of low-key luxury. The infinity pool was a wonderful treat where you can swim to the sounds of waves and birds.
Negative points: Everything was wonderful.
Positive points: The location next to a beautiful, not touristy beach. Not quite black sand, but close enough for an incredible sunset. Staff didn't speak much if any (depending on the person) English but tried their best to help and we always managed with Google translate. Facilities like the kitchen are great for longer stays. The infinity pool is absolutely epic. The rooms are huge. I don't usually leave reviews unless they are 9 or 10 or absolutely horrible but this place was a mixed bag, so I made my first exception.
Negative points: Keep in mind this is more like a house rental than a hotel. There is no food on site (or nearby) and the place has a feeling like someone who invested a lot of money in a private home but then decided s/he needed some income, and hasn't been there for a while. There was mold all over the mirror in the bathroom and on the window shades in our room. My mother-in-laws room was worst - it had a moldy, musty smell, probably from not being used or having the AC on enough. The beds are very firm, which was fine for me but not for everyone. Some weird inconsistencies - the colorful large towels provided in the bathroom are beautiful and unique, possibly made by hand, but there are no small towels or bath mats, so we had to put these beautiful towels on the floor! The outdoor shower hadn't been cleaned in a long time and was impossible to use for safety reasons, too slippery. The pool has no umbrellas or towels left out (though you can take towels from your room). There was no blanket, only a sheet, so I had to use a towel (my husband likes to sleep with the room cold). The breakfast was really poor quality - my husband's omelette was overcooked and my boiled eggs were watery, not cooked for 6 minutes as requested. Overall poor quality and in quantity, like a step down from a Days Inn breakfast from my childhood.
Positive points: one of the best I've ever stayed at marvelous villa with incredible views, huge gorgeous garden with pool, excellent and very welcoming service by Dwi and his crew
Positive points: friendly staff, excellent breakfast, stunning views
