Villa Citakara Sari

10/10

We stayed here for just over three weeks, with six kids aging from 7 to 13. These villas are in an excellent location with one of the last remaining beaches out the front for you to enjoy. Even though the villa is located out of town, a price of a taxi is on IDR 30,000 one way. The staff at the villa show true Balinese hospitality. Lovely people, smiley, helpful and very informative. The food available within the villa was some of the best that we had. You can order in from local Warungs, which although are cheaper, sometimes the food is cold by the time it arrives. The property is big enough for the children to play cricket, soccer, rugby, tag and hide and seek. One of the maintenance boys, entertained us all by climbing a coconut tree with just a rope and his hands and feet to trim the tree of dead leaves and coconuts. The children loved watching his skills and he gave them all fresh coconuts after he was done. The snorkelling out the front was amazing, lots of fish and living coral to see. This was a once in a life time stay, and we would definitely recommend as a destination for families or friends getting together

We stayed 6 nights in Citakara Sari. As we were 2 families, having the whole estate was perfect. One family sleeping in each of the houses yet comfortably sharing all the wonderful grounds and amenities. Children loved the space, the well kept lawn, playing football and were enormously active swimming in between some tennis on the course. As our kids are all over 7 and play well together and can swim, we parents were able to enjoy the beautiful views, massage in the relaxing spa in the main house (called in from a local spa) without the slightest of worry. My best holiday ever! Ayu and team were discreet yet always there if we needed any help. Smiling and friendly staff indeed! The place felt like home, so well thought of, so well appointed and beautiful. I hope we can come back one day! A hint for you who plan a trip to Bali: We stayed in a lux hotel in Seminyak after Citakara Sari, and regret that we were not able to stay in Citakara our whole stay.... Much much better!
