We stayed at this resort prior to going to a conference in Singapore, first off the staff are most accommodating and will take care of everything for your visit. They set up the airport transfers, when we got to the airport our driver was there waiting for us holding a sign, for our departure, we had to leave at 5 am to go to the airport and they put together two boxed breakfasts for us.
Everyone in the resort staff is very friendly and accommodating. They took time to learn our names and greeted us everywhere.
While there we scheduled through the resort "The Romantic Dinner" on the beach which was absolutely fabulous. The meal and ambiance were lovely and we would certainly recommend it.
We also scheduled the Cooking Class where we left in the morning with the Chief, Wyan, who took us to one of the largest markets where he introduced us to many things that we "must try", we tried many treats and fruits that we had never seen before. After the market we went back to the resort Restaurant, the Garpu, where we (with the Chief) cooked up our lovely lunch. There was so much food that they boxed it up and kept it for us to come back to have for another meal at the restaurant. When we did the prepped it just as beautifully as when it was originally cooked.
Another fun activity was snorkeling in the Blue Lagoon, which we also scheduled through the resort. The area we went too was clear, blue and full of tropical fish.
The resort in general is beautiful and very well maintained, the grounds crew were constantly manicuring the flower beds and trees, I saw them painting, scrubbing sidewalks and ponds on a daily basis. On top of that they were all very friendly.
I cannot forget to mention the spa, the staff was great and we had a spa treatment everyday that we were there, I even had a fabulous 90 minute massage on the beach. The prices were very, very reasonable.
The resort accommodates kids fine, we were there as a couple and only saw a very few children, which made it very nice and relaxing. Even though the resort is a ways away from all of the touristy attractions, we had a very fulfilling visit and got a good taste of Bali at this resort and through the activities that they had to offer.
