Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Incredible a la carte plus buffet breakfast that ruins other hotels for you
- Private plunge pools in most suites (even if they are compact)
- Staff that guests actually remember by name (shoutout to the 'number 1' service)
Snel Overzicht: A peaceful brick-and-stone oasis that nails the basics, provided you don't mind battling a few mosquitoes and a stuffy mezzanine.
Beoordeeld door @oh.my.adventures: I stayed in Villa 37 with my family and the split-level layout was a lifesaver. Parents get a king bed downstairs, kids get twins upstairs—total peace! We loved hopping between our private plunge pool and the stunning main pool. A perfect Seminyak oasis.

Reality check
The 'private pool' is often just a plunge pool for dipping, not swimming, and the mezzanine layout is polarizing.
- You prioritize a killer breakfast over a massive swimming pool
- You want to be walking distance to Potato Head and Eat Street but sleep in silence
- You appreciate industrial-chic design over traditional Balinese thatch
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent daily service, though they sometimes miss dust on the high mezzanine ledges.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean, but open-air designs mean you might find a stray gecko or ant.
- Maintenance: Some reports of peeling paint on exterior walls and finicky water pressure in showers.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, though pool towels can run out by mid-afternoon.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh garden smells, but the mezzanine rooms can smell 'stuffy' or musty if not aired out.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is the private pool actually swimmable?
Barely. It's a plunge pool. Great for a cocktail and a dip, but you won't be doing laps.
Is it noisy at night?
Mostly no. It's set back enough from the main drag to avoid club bass, but you might hear roosters or neighbors in the hallway.
How far is the beach?
Petitenget Beach is a 5-10 minute walk. It's close, but the heat makes it feel longer.
Do they have a gym?
Yes, but it's tiny. Think a few cardio machines and dumbbells, not a full fitness center.
Is the area safe to walk at night?
Yes, generally. The alley is dark, so use your phone light, but it's a busy tourist area.
Can I get a floating breakfast?
Yes, they offer this in the private pool suites for an extra fee.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'public' pool gets very little sun in the late afternoon; go early if you want a tan.
- ✨
Ask for a room away from the reception area to minimize foot traffic noise.
- ✨
The hotel offers a free shuttle to Seminyak Square—use it to skip the sweaty walk.
