Villa Gils

8/10

We had an awesome time just relaxing and hanging out at the villa. The staff were very accommodating and cooked us amazing food. Wayan helped us with everything from day trips to organizing massages at the villa and getting a fishing boat for the day. The only negative was a loud gekko who had moved in under the ceiling between the two poolside bedrooms so he kept waking us up during nights. Once he’s gone I can definitely recommend Villa Gils for a relaxing and beautiful stay!

Really nice villa. Comfy and clean rooms. Lovely big pool and grass area. Quiet location. The staff were absolutely lovely and super helpful. The food was OK - they catered our vegetarian diet fine. Not particularly exciting options and a bit bland but it was OK. Nearest beach is a short drive away. Or a 15 min walk. Overall a really nice place and would recommend it.

Highly recommended villa. We had three generations together for our biannual catch up and really enjoyed our time. The rooms, grounds and villas are kept very well. The food is great, we ate at the villa more than eating out as it was much better! (also easier with kids than going to restaurant) The staff are very friendly and happily go out of their way to be as helpful as possible. Always someone on site, our out of timezoned request for 5am coffee was no problem!

My husband and I spend 2 weeks in this beautiful well kept Villa Gils and always was perfect for us. The staff and the manager of the villa are very friendly and helpful.The pool was very clean and big enough for a soccer team ;-)). We are happy to find this wonderful place and recommend this villa to our friends and family. I hope we can return sometimes.

We spent four delicious days at villa Gils. This villa is perfect for all of ages, bedrooms on the ground floor for grand parents et two big bedrooms for children and parents on the first floor. Staff was amazing, always there 24/24, discret but there when we need. Wayan, the villa manager was always smiling, with a lot of good advices for adults and children. Garden and swimming pool are really good maintain

What to say? This is just THE most wonderful of villas and Wayan and the team are amazing. So comfortable, a very private and beautiful site, immaculately maintained, the team cannot do enough for you and their food is simply delicious, in fact we struggled to leave the villa we loved it so. Ideal for 2 families travelling together as two distinct living areas although worth noting that one of these is not interconnecting. Our children are older so we didn't mind but some might. The surrounding area of Candidasa is charming and unspoilt with a very good choice of local restaurants a short taxi ride away. Most restaurants offer a free taxi service so it was never an issue being tucked away! White Sands Beach (only 10 mins taxi away) is something else with massive dramatic waves one day and calm as a mill pond the next and we easily enjoyed trips to Ubud on one day and Tirta Gangga and Tenganan another. It definitely feels relaxed and slow paced in Eastern Bali so don't come if you want the nightlife! We just loved loved it and couldn't recommend it more highly!

the villa was really good and the staff very attentive. We would love to find in this standing villa a machine to do un good Expresso coffee.

We recently spent our third holiday at Villa Gils, and again loved every minute. The villa itself is very comfortable and spotlessly clean, with a fantastic ambience and an excellent swimming pool. Our friends, on their first visit to Candidasa, loved it - loved being able to walk through the local village and feel like they were actually a part of it! The reason this villa is so good though, is the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for any of them, and I must make special mention of Wayan, the manager. This human dynamo is a manager "par excellence", an amazing source of information, ideas, and contacts. All you need do is get to Bali, Wayan will take care of the rest. You can rest assured that your holiday is in good hands. Villa Gils is a little way south of the centre of Candidasa, but there are good restaurants and warungs within a few minutes' walk, and many of Candidasa's better restaurants will happily send a car for you, and bring you home again, gratis. Wayan will book this for you. We spent Nyepi Day (the day of silence, when everyone must stay at home) reading, swimming, and generally relaxing, with our needs attended to by two staff who spent the entire 24 hours "on duty" - a big thank you to Karmi and Kadek - making sure we were well fed and comfortable. Villa Gils is our favourite place to stay in Bali when travelling with friends - 3 couples sharing the cost makes it very affordable. A wonderful experience is guaranteed!

The staff at the villa were most helpful and friendly. Always had a smile on their faces. Being in Candidasa, the distance to town was expected. The villa is very well kept and clean! Would definitely recommend this for anyway looking to get away from the crowds. The staff recommended this quaint seafront restaurant that is part of a resort adjacent to us, a 5 minute walk from the villa for our first dinner in Bali. The in-house chef was also very good. We had all our breakfasts and some lunch/dinners cooked by them too. When we tried to cook our own lunch once, they were very patient and assisted as we stumbled around the kitchen. :)

We just came back from 5 nights stay at Villa Gils. We enjoyed our stay very much. The villa is very clean, spacious, safe and comfortable. The location is not in the centre of Candidasa, but since we had a car, this was not a problem. The Villa is not by the beach but it has a big swimming pool which was adequate for us. Wayan and her team - Karmi, Nobu, Kadek and the night guard, had done superb job to make sure our stay comfortable. They are very warm and sincere. We could see from their expressions and gestures that they happily served us. We will definitely come back for our next diving trip in East Bali.

We had the opportunity to stay at Villa Gils a year ago for a week and loved every second of our trip! The staff is amazing. Very friendly and quick to help us with anything we could think of. The Villa itself is open and airy and very comfortable. If you are looking for a vacation destination in Bali (or Candidasa), this is the place!
