8.8/10 Excellent! (162 reviews)
Great little hideaway. It's in a busy holiday park, but the Villa Bali where we stayed was great. Note, it's a spiral staircase to the upper floor. If you have mobility issues, this might not be the best fit. We didn't want to lug our suitcases up there, so they stayed on the ground floor. Not the best for manuvering, but it worked. The staff was great and the park was quiet after 10pm. Convient to the Marina 20 minute walk. You have to cross a busy road to get to the water, buts doable. Would stay here again.
