    <div class="mainReviewBody">
        <p itemprop="description">A group of three of my friends and I booked Villa Nilaya back in July for an August trip. As we had a last-minute change to our plans, we were having trouble finding a place that would accommodate us with such short notice. The villa was expensive, but it looked beautiful and we are running out of options. Still, we were extremely excited, as it looked gorgeous. We emailed the host Anna to ask about activities and food allergy accommodations, but did not hear back from her. We emailed again, but still received no reply. As the date got closer and Anna still ignored our emails, we reached out to Airbnb to let them know that the host was not responding. Immediately after we contacted Airbnb, Anna wrote back and said she was offended that we had reached out to Airbnb. We replied to her email with several follow up inquiries, but again recieved no response. We were about to depart, so we sent another email in hopes that she would respond. She never did.

The arrived at the Villa and were immediately blown away at its beauty. The place was huge, with beds and furniture in abundance. We figured it easily could accomodate 10, which confused us as to why there was a $46 extra charge for each additional  guest after the first three. The bathrooms were large and beautiful. The wait staff was extremely courteous, though rather reserved. We ate our first dinner at the villa, and the food was good. 

After the first dinner, we began to plan out what we wanted to do during the remainder of our stay. The Villa offered several packages, but they seemed extremely expensive for Bali. For example, a trip to Nusa Lembongan cost 1.8 million IDR. We did the same trip on her own for slightly under 570,000 IDR. We figured the Anna must be taking a large chunk out of the cost for herself, as there is no other way but the trip could be this expensive. Other trips had similar price discrepancies, so we decided against booking through the villa.

Overall, it just seems like we are being nickel-and-dimed. For example, when one of our guests was unable to join us, we ask for a refund at the extra $46 and were refused. Also, the food was good, but not outstanding. For the price that we paid, we could have gotten a three-course meal elsewhere. Again, we feel like the owner was taking a large chunk out for herself. When we wrote a review mentioning this later, Anna's response was that we clearly didn't have good taste buds, as a French couple had eaten there earlier this year and enjoyed it. Her implication was that Americans must not be able to recognize and enjoy good food.

Other small issues included the fact that the floor was dirty. The Wi-Fi was not very strong, which we needed to get work done. And finally, the entertainment center did not work. The remotes had no batteries. We bought batteries, but then found out that the TV was programmed in Indonesian. After messing around for a while, we figured it out, but then realize it most of the DVDs or missing or scratched. On the day that we were to leave, we mentioned that we are on the tight timetable. 5 minutes before we walked out the door, we were handed a bill that included all the extra food and drinks that we had eaten. This was mentioned beforehand, which was fine, but the fact that we only had fivr minutes to review it made us unhappy as there was a mistake in the math. By the time we had the mistake figured out and it given them the cash, we were a half hour late.

After we returned home, we left a moderate review on Airbnb. We mentioned the difficulties we had, but were generous with the praise and left an overall positive review. Anna immediately flagged the post for removal, and for some reason Airbnb agreed to do so. This left such a poor taste in your mouth, that I felt compelled to give it an even lower review on TripAdvisor. This is such a beautiful place, that it's a shame the owner couldn't treat the best better. The three of us have received only excellent review for my other Airbnb hosts Anna was the only one who took issue.

We would not recommend staying at Villa nilaya, unless you have money to spare and do not need to communicate with the host.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">My sister and I stayed here for 2 weeks in May/June and we were totally spoiled.
The villa is in a lovely quiet area just out of Candi Dasa which is one of my favourite places in Bali, lots of restaurants and shops but has retained the village feel I love about Bali. You will not have to worry about food as the meals are great at the villa abut very close by a 2 or 3 really lovely small warungs that I would highly recommend and they will come and pick you up.
The villa is extremely comfortable and the staff are great. The pool is amazing and shaded in the afternoons which was certainly appreciated.
If you are looking for relaxation but not too far to go for some night life then do yourself a favour and stay here. The owner Anna is just divine and happy to arrange things for you.
We loved it so much I have booked again & taking the family</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We were so pleased to arrive at this villa. The photos don't represent how spacious and beautiful the place is. It has so many different areas to relax in, different areas to eat, and an amazing  deck directly over the ocean. The staff are friendly and provide sensational food as well as being trained masseuses. 

This part of Bali is so nice as it is far from the usual tourist areas. Step out the door and see Balinese people going about their daily lives, chickens, pigs, cows wandering on the streets, but also restaurants and cafes within walking distance. 

We were really impressed and would definitely come again.</p>

From the minute you walk in and look through the house to the sea, its breath taking. The staff are attentive and unobtrusive, and the in house dinning is fantastic. 
The local village is lovely to walk around, you can enjoy a genuine Bali experience without that very 'touristy' feel that some other parts of the island can have.
The host Anna is easy to deal with and communication was fast and clear. This really is a wonderful place to have a complete break in tropical luxury - we will certainly be back.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">There is nothing else to say about this property other then amazing.

Anna was perfect to deal with from the beginning until the end and all the staff at the villa were delightful.

The food was delicious. The location is remotish but that is what you are going for, to be away form the hustle and bustle.

The villa its self is stunning, from the bathrooms to the outdoor areas and even the bedrooms.

A must is snorkelling just off the pier at the back of the villa - the fish and sea life back there was amazing. I didn't do it until the last day and regretted not doing it every day.

The sunsets from the back porch are beautiful. Everything was to die for!!!

Anna and the team thank you SO much. I know this review is late but its better late then never.

I hope i get to visit again next year.

The rooms are huge with even bigger bathrooms. The staff, especially Ketut are wonderful and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. The daily massage was a bonus!

We had a Balinese Banquet  cooked at the Villa one night and there was enough food to feed 10 more people. A real treat. 

Candidasa has some gorgeous restaurants that offer pickup and drop off as part of your booking. The area and local people are friendly and generous with their time - a massive difference to the locals in the more tourist areas. 

The snorkelling right out the front of the villa was some of the best I have seen in Bali and our boys even caught a few fish off the rock walls.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Villa Nilaya, on the east coast of Bali, is absolutely beautiful.  It would suit those who want a quiet and private holiday, with luxurious spoiling, but far from the maddening crowd.  If you want to walk out your door to shopping and restaurants, this isn't the place for you.  It's seclusion is one of its selling points.  The team who look after you can cook wonderful meals in house, or you can easily arrange transportation to the great local restaurants.  The pool is just blissful, with the infinity edge facing the ocean where you can watch the world go by - including the dolphins.  Plenty of space and areas to spread out.  The master bathroom is gorgeous, as are all the bathrooms.  The staff are friendly and will go out of their way to make your stay comfortable.  They keep the place beautifully clean and go about their work very discreetly.  I would highly recommend this villa if you need a quiet and tranquil place to forget the rest of the world exists.</p>
