        <p itemprop="description">This villa is new and has an absolutely stunning view to the indian ocean. Seeing the sunset from the pool was the best.

The villa manager is Bambang, he is polite and helpful. And the breakfast was good.

We had a bit problem with the airconditioner, but the staff resolved them quickly.

The only problem was that the floor needed some mopping i guess. In some of the areas we found them to be bit sticky.

The location is 30 min away from every action. However, if you want to be in a peace, this is the place you've got to be staying at.

The pool was well maintained and clean. And it was good for swimming.</p>

We're really pleased that the villa ticked all the plus boxes for  service, comfort - and for access to all the Bukit beaches and shopping in Kuta. Bambang and the team will be most happy that their work has been highly praised. Our apologies that there was a problem with one of the a/c units while you stayed and I hope the rapid maintenance carried out was satisfactory. Chinzorig, our thanks again for choosing Villa Amaine - we wish you well and hope to see you again.</span>

        <p itemprop="description">Wow! This place is amazing and we will definitely be returning.

From our initial online enquiry, Tom and Rene have delivered exceptional customer service. When our original plans unexpectedly changed, they went out of their way to find a suitable alternative and were very accommodating, even when their policy did not require them to be.

They arranged our initial airport transfer to the villa and we continued to use their recommended driver Juli, throughout the rest of our stay in Bali, even after we left the villa.

When we first arrived at the villa it was breathtaking. The cold drinks presented on arrival were well received and much needed after our flight as we adjusted to the humidity in Bali.

Bambang (on-site manager) and his two female staff were there for our four day stay. Both girls although extremely professional, also quickly earned the trust of our three young kids (ages 6, 3 and 1) and were happy to spend time playing with our kids whenever we felt like taking abit of time out. We even felt comfortable with them babysitting whilst we went out one night to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. We can not thank the wonderful staff here enough, it was a highlight of our trip to Bali.

Breakfast provided included eggs, omlettes, bacon, toast, cereal, pancakes, fresh fruit, juice etc, there was always plenty and the kids would snack on the leftovers throughout the morning. Cold filtered water was provided at the villa which is great, when you shouldn't drink the tap water.

We were provided with a set of keys to let us back into the villa when we set out on day trips which I found very convenient. One thing I would recommend when staying at the villa is to make sure the a/c is always switched on. It would take a long time to cool down the rooms as the ceilings are quite high and the rooms very spacious and its nice to cool down quickly after a hot day out.

We chose the upstairs bedroom for the beautiful views. The spa in our bedroom was lovely to relax in after a long, hot day exploring what Bali had to offer. Even the complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body soap were lovely on your skin and hair, not like a lot of the stuff you get in chain hotels. 

We put our children in the other upstairs bedroom. The floorboards in one section of this room were warped and a trip hazard after a water pipe burst. This would have annoyed us, but the kids did not mind and there were other bedrooms available for use, we just all wanted to stay upstairs. And, Bambang did advise us the carpenter was repairing this once we checked out so I don't see this being an issue for future guests. 

On our last night Bambang and the girls created a range of beautiful Thai dishes for our dinner. We were extremely disappointed that we did not try their cooking earlier as we would have simply eaten at the villa for every meal. It was delicious, one of the best meals we ate in Bali.

The rooms were cleaned every day and fresh towels provided on request which was great. Our laundry was sent away and collected each day and was super cheap. The wifi always worked well.

I am not sure if I have mentioned everything I wanted to but overall, we had such a fantastic time at Villa Amanie and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a private and fully relaxing holiday. I hope Bambang and the girls will still be there the next time we come to visit with our friends next time!!!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">The villa is so grand, great and gorgeous.. exactly like what you see in the pictures shown. Clean, tidy and spacious. The facilities are complete. So quite. The scenery from the pool is just beautiful. It is located at the top of a hill and far from busy streets. Only took us 10 minutes to GWK and nearby beaches by car. Do buy snacks and stuffs before you arrive, no mini market or restaurant is reachable by walking. 

What can be improved are just the so-so wifi and no electricity stabilizer (because the mcb dropped a few times due to the unstable electricity from the government in the area).

Not forget to mention, the assistants, Pak Ngurah and Bu Sri are very kind and helpful.

It was a wonderful trip for us and it is highly recommended.</p>

            <span>Hi Edward
How very good of you to leave such a great review for Villa Amanie. I will be sure to pass on your praise to Ngurah and Sri - they will be more than pleased to know their work and attentiveness has been so well appreciated. 
We will keep on trying to improve the connection to the internet and have contacted all suppliers with the hope of installing fiber optic internet at a near future date.
We will do what we can with the government to improve the power stability -although this one might take us a bit more time than the internet though ;-)
Please do feel welcome to return anytime. Best Regards</span>

        <p itemprop="description">I traveled with 6 of my friends for our after-graduation trip and were pleasantly surprised when we reached the villa, making our trip absolutely memorable and it was so hard to leave. This villa is as beautiful as the pictures, or maybe even better. I do recommend that you get a driver when staying at this villa as it is quite a drive away from the city but definitely worth it. It is not too far off but anyway, we always loved staying in the villa. The daily breakfast made by the cook is absolutely delicious and she is so understanding and warm, asking us if we were full. The rooms are very spacious and cleaned everyday, just like a hotel. The Jacuzzis in the 2 master bedrooms made it so hard to resist as we would soak after a long day at the beach. 

I could say so much more about how amazing this villa is but you have the experience it for yourself. The space is beautifully decorated and it is also the perfect amount of space. Also great for taking pictures and making your friends jealous. 

The only downside is that we were not able to open the villa gates whenever we wanted, only the housekeeper could. Thus, when we came back quite late at night, we would have to wait a while for the gates to be open.  

But other than that, definitely a villa you want to stay at, absolutely worth it.</p>

            <span>Hi Marissa

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a great review for Villa Amanie. We can only love the fact that we could make you feel like celebrities on your Bali vacation - please come back for more star treatment!

We keep the gate locked at night and entry is gained by using the buzzer so that Ngurah [the Villa Amanie manager] can open the door for guests. Apologies if this is a little slower than you wished Marissa. We do try to make sure that the villa remains secure for your stay and so we feel it better to have Ngurah [who sleeps on the lower ground floor] monitor entry to the villa. Our apologies for any inconvenience Marissa - we did once issue keys to guests, but often they were lost and so we switched to a buzzer service instead.

Given your comment we will monitor this with other guests.

Thank you again for your stay with us, and your lovely words about Villa Amanie and we do hope to welcome you again in the future to one of our villas</span>
