        <p itemprop="description">I heard about Bali from friends and finally decided to take the long trip from the USA. And Villa Delapan made the whole trip worthwhile. arriving at the airport after 20 hrs I was pretty disoriented, but I was whisked away by the driver (Putu) they sent who was friendly, charming and most helpful. He filled me in on many details of the island and got me to the beautiful Villa Delapan most pleasantly and safely. Upon arrival I was greeted by Ari with welcome juice drinks decorated island style. I would come to know him as most helpful, friendly and a terrific source of information in this new, very exotic environment. He cooked a great breakfast each day (he's a terrific cook all around in case you care to have authentic dinners), and advised on my day's activities. Also I met Made who would help take care of all my needs here as well and always greeted me with a generous smile and warm welcome each day. Throughout the stay all these people filled me in on the culture and enhanced the experience of Villa Delapan! 

The Villa itself is beautiful, well appointed with with objects reflecting island lifestyle and the arts which are so important for enhancing the feeling of the perfect vacation. The private pool is pristine and tended regularly. The rooms are furnished beautifully and and sleep many comfortably. This is a great spot for anything from a couples retreat, to a vacation with friends to a great family get-away. Mattresses are comfy and pillows fluffy and perfect. The place is clean with all the things I needed (towels, soap, shampoo, etc.) and far more than I expected. Bathrooms are spacious with great water pressure and there's ample air conditioning if needed. I was usually quite fine with the warm ocean breezes.

Special to me was the koi pond with what may be an award winning level of fish. I looked forward to having them greet me each morning and looked forward to feeding them each day.

The beach is a 10 minute walk down a country road past small stores, restaurants and rice fields. It's only a few minutes by motor bike (which they will arrange for you) but I prefer to experience the sounds and the smells as I walk. The nearby beach is dramatic with great waves for swimming and surfing, and you can rent lounges from the locals for a dollar or two. For a more bustling scene one can ride over to Finn's beach club which can be great fun for the kids, and if you want a different experience on some days.

There's also a beach club nearby (Las Brisas) and all levels of food stalls and restaurants. Ari and Putu arranged many types of activities for me to explore the island - seeing the temples, monkeys, local dances, ceremonies and so on. And when coming back after each excursion I was always delighted with returning here.

I've been to many tropical retreats around the world and can say that this Villa is my favorite so far. It's combination of beauty, comfort, peacefulness, convenience to the beach, being comfortably away from the big crowds, and offering great service service and friendliness make it exceptional. I will be back for sure.
I highly recommend staying here. Except for when I want it for myself!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We loved this VIlla and the location. We walked to the beech every day and the horse back Stable was only 2 minutes away so the kids could ride or pet the horses daily. the Master bedroom below was amazing. we have stayed at many 5 star resorts and the master bedroom was the same. the TV room was isolated so it made a great get away room for me to work or the kids to relax and watch movies. the Pool was great..... best of all the service and the STAFF was outstanding. they cooked daily for us, cleaned and made our stay very easy. when we needed a car, they arranged it, they arranged tours, messages and every thing we needed - better service than a HOTEL.... we felt at home but with Luxury.....</p>

        <p itemprop="description">I feel that villa Delayan is a nice place but it has some issues. The master bedroom downstairs is like a cave and has poor ventilation which means it smells mouldy and it is dark and uninviting. The ensuite has stones on the ground which makes impossible to be really cleaned up after guests staying, if you look close you will see hair, cotton buds and other items amongst the stones. The kitchen has no window and I felt terrible for the staff that has to work there with no ventilation and in enourmous heat. The living room couches are very uncomfortable and not really suitable for relaxing with confort. The staff is wonderful, both Made and Ari are great guys and super kind and professional. But I don't understand why we need security guard at night and that made me a bit uneasy as I have stayed in many other locations in Bali and never felt there was a threat. They also have an issue with the fish pools around the living area that often overflows. So as many other villas in Bali a bit of better maintenance is needed.</p>
