Hotel berhampiran Villa Madera, Bali

Had quite a nice stay at Manca villa in Canggu during our 5 nights stay in September 2023. Here are some positives and negatives from our experience. Positive: - Friendly young driven staffs - Quiet location off the main road - Super comfortable bed (firm side) and really really good sleep - Quite beautiful and good villa concept, excellent lighting inside bedroom - Good TV with all the major streaming services - Easy and walkable to get to the main streets Negative: - Staffs were attentive but at times, there would be no one at the reception - We noticed some wood dusts around the villa (possible termite droppings) - The shower area is not the cleanest. Yellow stains on shower walls and wonky floor tiles - The bathroom is semi outdoor so naturally, it's prone to ants and mosquitoes - Pool can be cleaner - In the kitchen area, the cutting board really need to be clean (had red stains all over) - Not enough cutlery provided, had to request for more - Towels with stains and smell of cigarette smoke (for 2 days the hotel ran out of hand towels and towels due to laundry delay, offered pool towels instead) - Main sliding doors are worn out and need to be serviced - Overall, need more attention to detail and up keeping :)

Великолепный Бал. Великолепный отель, который подчеркёт радость пребывания на острове. Отличное расположение, прекрасный вид, новый номерной фонд, замечательные завтраки (шведский стол + заказываешь европейскую и местную кухню, мы попробовали почти все блюда местной кухни из меню, это было очень вкусно), но самое главное это люди, работающие в отеле. Они готовы всегда помочь в любой мелочи, очень приветливые и добрые. Это повышает настроение на протяжении всего дня. Отмечал день рождения во время пребывания, меня очень мило поздравили. На крыше бассейн с инстаграмным видом. Работает до 10 вечера. До моря идти 5 минут. Вокруг полно ресторанчиков и магазинов. Вечереняя жизнь рядом, но отель построен так, что она не мешает.

The overall of the hotel and stay experience was really good and I kind of enjoy my stay. Check in was great staff, housekeeping to room service almost everyone in the resort were nice. However for beach bar I beg a difference. As an experience hotelier myself I could feel that there is a difference on how they treat foreigners who are white skin and yellow skin from Asia like myself. However I want to make it a point that not all yellow skin are from China, there are people with yellow skin from other parts of of the world example me from Singapore. As a hotelier myself , I feel that every guest is an important guest.

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.

My family and I have stayed here on a few occasions as well as other 5-star resorts, but we prefer Movenpick. The architecture is appealing from the outside to the inside. The rooms are large and well appointed with a large Bali bathtub, natural stone accents and color palette. Linens are luxurious, which include down comforters and oversized pillows. Service is superior to most Bali resorts. From the personal interaction with Maicel at the front desk to the servers in the restaurant & pool side bar….all creating a memorable & personal stay. Thank you Movenpick employees. We’ll see you in a few months for another great experience.

Saya mula-mula melihat tempat ini selepas disenaraikan dan menarik perhatian saya. Ia kelihatan agak tidak masuk akal kerana harga yang rendah untuk kualiti, dengan melihat foto. Saya menempah tempat lain untuk malam pertama saya juga di Jimbaran. Hari kedua saya tidak dapat menahan keinginan untuk menempah tempat ini, dan saya tidak sedikit pun menyesali keputusan saya. Lokasi sangat mudah didapati, berhampiran dengan jalan utama yang mempunyai kedai serbaneka. Yang jarang berlaku di kawasan ini, sebelum ini saya tinggal di Le Meridian dan tidak ada satu tempat di mana saya boleh mencari pengecas iPhone dalam jarak 7km. Pintu masuk berkelas dan bagus, penerimaan tetamu dengan penuh semangat membantu saya dengan bagasi dan daftar masuk. Selepas proses membawa saya ke vila saya. Ia adalah satu perjalanan yang bagus, terasa seperti saya berada dalam dongeng, kehijauan yang menyegarkan dan benar-benar membuatkan saya berasa seperti saya mengalami intipati Bali. ”***a tradisional Bali” katanya kepada saya. Vila saya curam menuruni bukit, yang semuanya adalah vila satu bilik. Pada mulanya saya tidak berpuas hati dengan lokasinya dan meminta unit yang lebih tinggi. Tetapi sebaik sahaja memasuki kediaman saya benar-benar terkedu. Ia melampaui dan di luar jangkaan saya, sungguh. Tempat itu bersih berkilauan dan pemandangan luar membuatkan saya tersenyum dari dalam ke luar. Bukan untuk menaikkan secara mendadak tempat itu tetapi saya merasakan mereka sangat murah kadar harian! Privasi adalah tanpa aduan, terutamanya untuk seseorang seperti saya yang penting. Anda berada di dalam hutan di rumah pokok yang mewah. Betapa lebih baiknya kehidupan. Kolam renang peribadi menyegarkan, air mengalir bebas; bersih dan jelas. Bilik tidur di tingkat bawah, masuk adalah katil kayu yang paling romantis dan malangnya saya bujang tetapi akan menjadi yang paling sesuai untuk pasangan. Bilik mandi adalah etnik dan halus. Luas dan direka dengan baik dengan tab mandi gergasi. Mandi dan tandas dipisahkan, *************. Malam saya mempunyai tidur yang terbaik dalam masa yang lama. Jika satu perkara yang saya perlu mengadu ialah wifi, yang bagi seseorang yang bekerja dalam talian boleh mengecewakan.

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.

As a female solo traveller my experience was brilliant. I stayed for 5 nights. When I arrived at night I was warmly welcomed and ushered to my villa. There were a jar of home made cookies and a welcome note by the staff which I thought added a special touch to my stay. In a nut shell, the staff, (I forget the name of their manager) were very professional and respectful. I couldn’t find one single flaw and I truly think I received a better treatment than what I paid for so thank you team. Cleanliness: The villa was squeaky clean, and was equipped with a very comfy bed, excellent lighting, fluffy pillows and duvet. Air conditioning was on point. There was turn down service which added value to the stay. Safety: I felt very safe. It was equipped with an internal safety lock and wooden bar. The pressure of water in the shower, bath and outside shower was perfect. Location: The location of the villa was a bit of a walk from the reception but there was a buggy service if one wanted. I preferred to walk and stroll in the resort. The resort was a Grab ride away from the town and near places but Keramas beach was on site. Pool: the pool was the highlight of the villa. It was spacious, clean and had privacy. Restaurant: there is Timur restaurant on site which has delicious food on offer. Most of the nights I stayed in and had my meal there. The breakfast was equally good with generous helpings. Cons: just be prepared that they’re maybe a gecko or two outside but that’s because you’re out in the nature and in a warm climate.

Bernie and I stayed at Akah Cottages for just under a week and were pleasantly surprised by the high level of hospitality and customer service provided by the owner and her staff. The rooms were beautifully maintained and demonstrated a love for the property itself. We had dinner one night at the restaurant and the home-cooked meals were authentic and delicious. After staying at supposed '5-star' accommodation back in Bali, these ritzy hotels didn't come close to Akah in terms of true attention to detail, care and customer service. Our host was lovely and we will definitely be coming back. Thanks for taking such good care of us! Olivia & Bernie
