        <p itemprop="description">We loved our stay at Echo Beach Duo. It's an ideal family + friends villa compound. It can hold 3-4 families comfortably (if renting out both front and back villas).

The staff were terrific - made breakfast for us each day and we had an on demand driver if we needed. The actual accomodation is immaculate and the pool is clean and well maintained. We had the option of getting a dedicated chef but decided we didn't need it with so many great eateries around.

The views we had at the time of staying were amazing. We could see directly to the beach and ocean from the top level of the villas. My only concern would be that there was a hotel being built next door when we stayed there (which it didn't affect our stay at all). I was told that the block directly besides us would be their car park or gardens area anyway so I'm hoping that's the case, as we are planning to go back there this year.

Location wise - you can't get better if you like Echo Beach. Personally, my family and I are sick of Seminyak - we only stay in Canggu or Echo Beach now. We've been coming for 10 years and prefer to stay away from the busy streets in the South.

The area of Echo Beach itself has everything you need. Great cafes and restaurants (more eclectic and hip than Seminyak), enough retail to spoil yourself and great bars like Old Mans and Deus Ex Machina. All of this is within walking distance from Echo Beach Duo.

If you have the luxury of being able to rustle up a few families, I'd definitely recommend renting out the whole compound.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">That was an amazing experience. I am used to spend holiday in Bali but this time was the best.
I took 6 bedrooms with my family and had a fantastic time.
The food at home was so good that we spend most of our diners at home.
The Service was excelent too. The staff was so nice, we felt extremly welcome.
The house and the spaciouse garden with 2 pools was simply a "Dream house"
2 mn walk from the beach, YES ! the location is just fantastic (even have a great sea view) and the kids start there first surfing lesson. 
For me, the staff organised my dives (I love diving).
This is worthy spending few minutes writing on Tripadvisor for this house, for this team. They diserve it !</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We had an amazing 8 nights here with 10 people, couples and singles. Wyan and crew made the stay very easy, drivers were waiting for us at the airport and dinner was arranged for us when we arrived (and Bintangs). We had breakfast at the Vila every morning and Wyan made sure every need was seen to, including arranging massages at the Vila and sourcing ciders! 

Thanks for a great stay, we would recommend to any group looking for a relaxed stay a little bit away from the hussle and bustle.</p>

The Manager & Staffs was very helpful. One thing what we didn't get was daily breakfast. Usually it's included in villa service. So we had to do the groceries and the villa staffs helped the preparation. Overall the rest of it is Very Good. The kids really love the large pool. The rooms all good. Really enjoyed our stay.</p>

The villa is also 5 mins by walking to the Echo beach or to the town center where we can find great cafes and quality bakery.

    <div class="mainReviewBody">
        <p itemprop="description">I have never written a review on tripadvisor however, my recent stay at Echo Beach Duo Bali made me write my first.  I am writing this review based on the 6 days we've stayed at the villa.  My group of friends and I travel to Bali yearly (for 5 years now) for our year end holiday with our kids.  This is by far the worst villa we've stayed in and it totally destroyed our Bali experience.  

We are a group of 4 families with young children.  We booked this villa few months ahead of our holiday and we had confirmed all arrangements including airport pick-up etc.  As we were on separate flights, the first group of our friends arrived at 9.30am.  No one from the villa picked them up as agreed.  My friend had to make several phone calls to reach someone and they had to last-minute arrange for a car to pick them to the villa.  The wait at the airport was 2 hours.

When the rest of the groups reached the villa at about 2pm, we were all hungry and had expected the chef to whip up our lunch but no, it didn't happen as chef didn't know what to cook.  Maybe we were pampered by ALL the other villas that we had stayed in; that chef will take the initiative to cook something.  So apparently not and we had to order take-out.  That's fine.

As we were settling in the room, I realized that I brought the wrong international adaptor so I asked one of the service staff if they have an international adaptor that I could borrow.  The answer was a straight "NO".  Well, thanks - at least you could have offered me a suggestion on where to buy or get it.  Thankfully one of the butlers Dewa stepped in and managed to find me three adaptors!  He's a gem!

Shortly after, I also asked for extra pool towels and the answer again was a "NO, we don't have.  Towels washing..."  I mean seriously?!  I looked at her and said "No towels in the whole villa??"  And her answer was again a "NO".  Wow.

My friend was trying to turn on the TV in his room and he wasn't able to get it switched on.  Was trying to figure it out and realised the remote control had no batteries!  Really??  It is supposed to be a functional villa where it should be guest-ready?!  No??

Next - ALL the in-room safes in the rooms weren't working?!  It was indeed very frustrating.  Maybe they expect us to keep our valuables under the pillow.

The in-house chef was indeed disappointing.  He was a poor cook and he was unable to even whip up a decent meal.  All the meat we had bought he had overcooked them.  Eventually we had to survive on take-outs and BBQ, which was also overcooked.  I questioned further only to find out that he was a temp chef hired at the last minute.

The fridge in the villa was not cold hence a lot of the food we bought were not properly stored.  

The pool pump broke down on the 3rd day of our stay.  We had to avoid the pool as water was not circulated.  It was only repaired the following day in the PM.

There were 3 black-outs in the main villa during our 6-day stay with no electricity and water.  The major one was at 11pm at night when the power and water was abruptly cut off and my friend was in the shower dripping with soap along with a crying toddler in the bedroom who was frightened by the black-out.  When we called for the security guard, no one had any idea how to turn on the power.  We waited for half an hour for the rectification.  In the end, Dewa the awesome butler had to ride from home to the villa just to turn on the power.  Seriously, couldn't the management have anticipated something like that and have a solution on stand-by??

I think the most classic 'event' we had at the villa was that the towels that were thrown on the floor for wash were REUSED!  I saw one of the staff recycling the towels from the floor and asked her why didn't she put it in the wash?!  She starred at me blankly.  I further quizzed her and asked if the towels were those from the room bathroom floor that she picked up and folded back onto the pool deck chairs and she said YES!  I again asked her if she had been doing it for days and she stared at me blankly again.  Double Wow.  I went to my room and check the bath towels - indeed they are recycled ones and never washed even though we had indicated our intention by leaving it on the floor.  And they never clean the bathroom.  The toilet bowl was dirty and remained dirty after their 'cleaning'.

The WIFI in the villa was bad.  Some of us had to subscribe to 3G with our local telcom. 

Lastly, we strongly believe that the management and the villa manager is to be responsible for all these hiccups.  Throughout our entire stay, the villa manager only showed up twice - once is to deliver a champagne from the owner as a form of apologies for the no-show pick-up at the airport and the second time was when I asked to speak to him on the 2nd day of our stay expressing our disappointment in the service standards.  Echo Beach Duo Villa staff are not trained at all.  Not in service and not in any form.  The best we can get out of the villa is probably the butler Dewa who has tried his best to undo what the villa had done to our holiday.  He is really a great staff for keeps.

I don't believe we have extremely high expectations - perhaps the previous villas we've stayed in had set such high standards that Echo Beach Duo Villa becomes incomparable.  Echo Beach Duo Villa had undoubtedly destroyed our Bali experience.</p>
