We enjoyed the room, the food and the people both working there and visiting.
Pros:

The room was large, comfortable and had a flexible power strip making it easy to charge all our devices! We also had a large deck and could see the surf in the ocean at a distance. The food was very good and so was the staff. One of our best stays! (We added two days to our stay). We walked to the ocean, to Secret Beach and along the ocean (after walking down a street in town.)

Cons:

NOthing

Pros:

Очень дружелюбный персонал.
Вилла чистая, чистый бассейн, территория. Вай фай работает.
Обалденный ресторан, еда вкусная как дома. Мы жили на верхнем этаже с видом не океан! Океан чисто сëрферский, черный пляж, волна. Есть бухта. До берега 10 минут ходьбы, если прогулочным шагом. Тихое, спокойное место для медитаций, йоги и сëрфа. Рекомендую всем кто хочет тишины и прекрасных видов. Так-же на вилле есть небольшой сад и два досторхана.

Sehr nette Gastgeber, aber das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Pros:

Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, die sich um alles kümmern. Ich habe ein Upgrade ins Familienzimmer mit Meerblick erhalten, was ich sehr geschätzt habe. Das Zimmer war sauber, jedoch ist das Hotel&die Zimmer insgesamt etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das Essen im Restaurant ist lecker. Der Pool war sauber und einladend zum Schwimmen, allerdings waren die Liegestuhlüberzüge fleckig.

Cons:

Ein Teil des Hauses wird aktuell umgebaut, davon hat man zum Glück nichts gehört.
Leider gab es im Zimmer, vor allem im Bad, viele Ameisen. Auch das Sofa auf dem Balkon war voller Ameisen und hatte einige Flecken. Die Bettanzüge wirkten ebenfalls schon älter.

Un petit coin de paradis authentique à ne pas manquer !
Pros:

On va être honnête, si vous lisez ce commentaire, ne cherchez pas ailleurs, c’est le meilleur endroit de Balian !

Le personnel était INCROYABLEMENT gentil
Toujours disponible pour toutes les demandes (repas, activités, scooter, taxi)

Le restaurant est incroyable et délicieux

La piscine est parfaite !

Nous tenons à remercier chaleureusement toute l’équipe, mais spécialement à Bagus pour sa gentillesse et son sourire qui nous ont donné une immense joie de vivre dans ce cadre idyllique.

Cons:

Une connexion wifi correcte mais pas excellente (mais ce n’est pas grave ! Déconnexion !)

Perfect relaxing stay
Pros:

The garden room was very comfortable and private.
The food at the restaurant was excellent.
All of the staff were professional and helpful.
Location was great - 2 min walk from excellent yoga at "Nick Yoga", and short walk to massage spa Bella Spa. Secret Bay Spa was also great, 10 min walk.

Cons:

The pool was on the small side but still good to cool off.
