Almost perfect
Villa is located in a development called Coral Estates. It is a secure gated community. The view is absolutely beautiful looking out from the living room to the sea across the pool.
We all wish the kitchen & living room were air condition or the villa had screens. Bring plenty of a top rated mosquito and nat bug spray (will need for beaches to on some days).
All the bedrooms have individually controlled a/c. They are the quality oriental versions and not the noisy American type windows units.
Note the house electric current is 220 so bring your small converters (FYI there are few gigantic converters provided).
The appliances are European and absolutely are worse than the most advanced America appliances built around 1955 (yes, I did say 1955)! The cheapest, lousiest American made appliances would be so much better than the Miele and other brands installed.
For 9 bedrooms, the washer and dryer are tiny - great for a party of two IF you can get them to work.
All the frying pans should be thrown out and replaced along with the coffee makers.
A house with 9 bedrooms should have higher capacity coffee makers.
There are extra cots in the bedrooms but are uncomfortable unless one can put a twin mattress on top(from one of the twin beds).
Accessing the beach to swim from the villa is possible but I’d say not safe for children or older adults. There are many wonderful beaches on the island accessible with as little as a 15 to 35 minute drives.
There are several nice grocery shopping stores not far from the airport. Go to “Cost U Less” for great prices on bulk items. There are two other decent grocery stores within several miles of C U L. There are many small stores but they have limited selections.
We found several nice restaurants including Bali Indonesian & Thai (just off the main road driving toward town but before the round-about which one takes to the airport), the e-travern (they only accept cash), the Bahai (at Lugun).
OK so will We return? Most definitely but we really wish the owners would address the appliance issues. There are many top quality American appliances that could replace the European ones and hence raise this villa to a 10 star vacation home.
