We stayed in Ananda River Front Lower Pool Villa.
Villa is clean, nicely furnished. The bathroom is amazing. The private pool is not big enough to swim. It’s more for relaxing or for kids play.
Breakfast is good. Nice western and Asian variety.
Dine in menu doesn’t offer a lot of options but all the meals we ordered were very good, tasty and filling.
The major drawback for us were two issues. I specifically reserved the “lower” villa because I have knee problems and I thought the lower one will be more accessible for me. To my disappointment, the only way to access the villa is through 90 steps stairway. Yes I counted them. The stairway is not covered, its outdoor so when it rains, and this happens a lot, the stairway is completely wet. I asked them to send us a buggy to take us upstairs to the restaurant area because it was raining heavily. They said the buggy can’t go down to the lower villa because “it is too slippery”. Yes I know it’s too slippery that’s why I need the buggy. Had I known in advance about this issue I would’ve never picked this villa. I believe they should state clearly in the description that it’s only accessible through the outdoor 90 steps stairway, even during the rain.
The other issue for us was when we try to order grab ride, gojek, or klock. There are people staying right outside the hotel forbidden the cars from picking up passengers because they want us to hire them instead. We had to use the hotel cars which is 4 times grab price.
