Pura Balangan

The room was clean. The staff were super cooperative.

Our room was phenomenal — incredibly spacious with a huge, comfortable bed. The private pool was also a great size and was definitely the highlight of our stay. The villa is situated quite central to all walkable areas. The staff were consistently warm and welcoming, helping with our bags and providing local recommendations that turned out to be absolutely perfect. Breakfast was also very enjoyable and personally served to our room each morning, which added a lovely touch. The bathroom setup was very unique and beautifully aligned with the Bali island aesthetic. It was a large semi-outdoor space, which looked stunning and created a very tropical atmosphere. However, it didn’t work as well for us personally from a practical perspective, especially at night. Because the space was outdoors, there were quite a few mosquitoes, ants, and occasionally bats, which made using the bathroom in the evenings a little uncomfortable. On our final morning, we also found a large lizard in the toilet bowl. Of course, we completely understand that Bali is a tropical island and encounters with wildlife are to be expected. That said, we personally would have found the stay more comfortable if the bathroom and toilet area had been more enclosed indoors.
