"Pros: We were greeted on arrival by Pak who was stellar throughout our stay. The property was beautifully presented, a real oasis in Padanbai. Cons: The location is not ideal if you're planning to go in and out of Padangbai. Be prepared to need transport." ~Ben

"Pros: Everything! We were greeted by staff who presented welcome drinks and showed us around and how everything works. The staff was lovely as was the house and the accommodations. We really enjoyed everything about our stay, especially that we were close to the white beach (20 min walk) where we spent a whole day. The black beach is meters away. It makes for a lovely walk in the sand, but you cannot swim there. The host helped coordinate transportation for us from the port, which was such a nice touch, because when you get off the boat, you are swarmed with people trying to get your attention and business, and it can be overwhelming. The villa is stunning and well appointed. Cons: Nothing, except we did not have a view of the ocean from the house at all as advertised. The upside is, the “sea” view is what drew us to the listing and I may have missed it if it didn’t have that in the title. This wasn’t a problem for us at all - and it is part of the charm, but to get from upstairs to downstairs you do have to walk outside." ~Mandy
