Villa Damai Manis

9/10

A sea of tranquillity to return to after the hustle and bustle of bartering on the Bali streets. The whole Villa is deluxe; it really has been set up like a home away from home, with beauty and pieces to discover everywhere you turn. Showering outdoors staring at the sky or lounging in the bath under the stars. Plunging into the pool after returning hot and tired from wandering the streets of Seminyak is to die for. Something you might not consider is how much sun a courtyard gets, both the pool to warm it as well as the sun lounges - this gets the perfect amount, morning and afternoon sun. The beds are delicious and being able to put the aircon on is a treat. Whilst it is a stand alone villa you do head down an extremely long driveway of other villas by cheek and jowl, to be expected I suppose in Seminyak. But they are nice villas and we didn't have any noise issues with neighbours. If you're happy to walk, that's good because trying to get a taxi out of the street the villa is on can take longer than it does to walk. Not that there's a lack of taxis, you'll be beeped every second. It's just that there's only 2 ways out and everyone is using them. We made the mistake one Friday night of trying to get to Legian, 8km took 1.5 hours. Other than that we found the villa to be a great location to head towards Seminyak main shopping streets, Kerobokan and over to Legian and Kuta. Wayan and Putu were lovely hosts, ensuring our rooms were beautifully made up, mosquito coils lit twice a day all around the villa so sitting outdoors is bug free. The included breakfasts are croissants, toast and fruit. You can pay more to have them cook. On the topic of food, the best we found on the Villa road was Warung Kultur a short walk away. $3.50AUD for 4 banana fritters were my fav. Would we go back again - absolutely, if we could afford it. We went for my mum's 70th and there was only the 2 of us for 10 days with my husband only able to come for half that time. With 3 couples it would be more affordable. I certainly returned feeling refreshed and have a photo of the pool and villa courtyard as my computer wallpaper to remind of my time lazing by the pool in Bali. Villa Bali were also extremely responsive to all enquiries and I'd book through them again without hesitation. One last point the internet at the Villa is included and high speed fibre optic, made it a breeze researching where we wanted to go and keeping in touch with home. If you're looking for an amazing getaway in Bali, I'd certainly recommend Villa Damai Manis.

Villa Damai Manis was a really good stay. It was our first time there and the place really did look like the images that were advertised. The rooms were comfortable. The living area was our favourite section to just relax and spend time together (I came with a family of 5 adults i.e my husband and 3 daughters). The pool was a nice size for a cooling dip. Also loved the fact that the spa services were at the villa. You can book an appointment and they will come over. Wayan and Putu were very good and hands on. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We had breakfast at the villa everyday. Location wise is very accessible. Only 15min walk to Seminyak Square but didn't really feel it as we were exploring all the shops along the roads that lead to Seminyak Square. Would definitively recommend others to stay here. Good for families and friends who want to be together and have their very own private pool.

Overall we were very satisfied. The staff were great & very attentive. We enjoyed every minute of our stay here. The areas for improvements will be on the following : - water pressure was a little low - the air conditions can be upgraded for better horse power based on the sizes of the rooms Thank you & we look forward to come back again !

We loved the location! The villa was set in a beautiful private setting, but close enough to walk to Seminyak Square for shopping and restaurants. Or catch a short cab ride to restaurants and other shopping areas easily. The staff were absolutely fantastic and we felt thoroughly spoilt. We would love to go back again.

Villa Manis was fantastic. The pool is amazing and the garden gets lots of sun. Their is heaps of space to spread out and read a book or browse on the iPad as the wifi is very good by bali standards. The bedrooms are fantastic and it would have no problem sleeping 3 couples or more as the daybeds and couches mean there is no getting in each others way. Each room has a safe and a private toilet/shower with hot water. The bedrooms have AC & Fan also. Rica & Wayan were lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. The location is perfect with a short walk to the middle of Seminyak. Cabbies have a little trouble finding the place so be sure to print off the map before arriving and take down the address. Will be back as soon as possible!
