There are very big differences between the superior room, deluxe rooms and villas. Superior rooms are like a youth hostel with your own bathroom, or a very cheap airport hotel. They are very, very small, have no balcony, face the hot sun from midday onwards and very noisy. Paper thin walls. You can hear everyone walking in the corridor, the lift, people in next room etc. The view is of some kind of metal construction. I also had ants in my bed! I would NOT recommend staying in these.
The deluxe rooms are bigger, have a balcony, lovely views and quieter. But are still very dirty, grey and torn linen, cheap furniture like the stuff you get in the reject shop. No water pressure. I swapped to one after the 1st night, and it was much better, but I definitely wouldn't stay here again.
I had a look at the villas, and they looked amazing. Own pool, outdoor/indoor kitchen etc.
Pros of Resort:
- Comfortable bed
- Free bicycles were really fun to ride around in, best memories of riding through rice paddies at sunrise and sunset
- Pool was clean
- Free breakfast is basic, but ok
Cons:
- Long way from cafes, centre etc. 1hr walk, 25mins bicycle ride. Echo Beach is about 15 mins walk. I love walking, happy to walk 1 hr ,but keep in mind it's Bali and sweltering hot to move between hours 9-5
- Free shuttles to town barely run, if the driver is taking people to airport then it's not available, price of catching taxis to town and back adds up
Tip - Stay on Batu Bolong Rd!!
