        <p itemprop="description">Awful location, 10 minute walk to Kerobokan prison and sitting between and across from overgrown lots. Construction site right next door afforded workers a clear view to the pool and their noisy work disrupted restful mornings and peaceful afternoons!  The owner Wirawan Supatra got them to begin at 8:30-9:00 instead of 7:30. Unfortunately Wirawan did not once inform us of this situation at all during the booking process. He offered and we accepted three tours to escape the noise and lack of privacy, however we incurred many unintended expenses, food, entrance fees etc. He refused any other form of compensation. The beautiful and huge pool turned a murky yellow/green ( bacteria alarm and possible E Coli contamination) color. Tablets were thrown into the water, no results because of a broken pump. Eventually ( 5 days later ) this got resolved and the pool was usable, two days prior to our departure. I could go on about huge roaches, less than hygienic looking tubs, dirty sofa but my main issue is the lack of transparency in the rentals conditions. Bali has a beautiful side and the people are very lovely. Kudos to Tantris staff, Anom, Komang and Ketut. They went above and beyond the call of duty to try and make our stay enjoyable despite the many issues. Pity, there is no way I could, with a clear conscience recommend this villa.</p>

    <div class="mainReviewBody">
        <p itemprop="description">First off: The villa is spacious, has AC in every bedroom, en-suite bathrooms, a nice size pool, the friendliest staff you could wish for (Anom, Komang, Ketut and Budi where absolute gems!), great beds, TV in every bedroom, is tastefully furnished and has WiFi throughout the house.
So far so good (WOULD have been 5 stars).

We booked a year in advanced and where really looking forward to going there. So we saved our money, bought tickets and were ready to "enjoy the max" out of Villa Tantri for 3 whole weeks!

We arrived late in the evening and were thrilled to be there: The house/mansion is not in the nicest (there is a jail in walking distance...) , cleanest part of town (insane traffic and thus pollution...) but the walls and the security (Budi) made us feel save.

Felt and looked like a Hollywood set. 

Great look but poorly built and not very well kept up either (although built in 2015 the villa looked as if it was at least 10 years old).
No insulated windows, practically open to all sorts of insects, like mosquitoes and roaches (yes, we had a few...), all the fixtures need de-chalking desperately and the upholstered furniture is in need of serious cleaning.
The single pane windows also don't help against the noise of airplanes flying over, which happens frequently.

Turned out that the only English channel on the TVs was National Geographic and only on the TV in the living area.

The next morning it was raining and when I opened the curtains I saw a construction site right next door. As in RIGHT NEXT DOOR - about  5 meters away from the window. And I thought to myself: "Oh, oh...".

The rude awakening came the next morning at 7:30 a.m. when we were woken up by hammers banging on I-beams and construction workers yelling at each other.
Not cute.
We contacted the owner (Wirawan) who said, he was just as surprised by the construction site as we were and he would talk to the workers to start later so we could get our vacation sleep-in. Anyway, he acted as if a construction site just popped up out of nowhere.
We were disappointed because the least he could have done is warn us and thus give us the choice of maybe finding another place.

So, he talked to them and they started making noise later (as of 8:30...) but continued as long as the sun was up.
Unfortunately it also encroached onto our privacy since the workers could see the pool and garden - and our women in bikinis - from the beams that are to be the rooftop. 
The owner had insured us that, although the next door neighbors are close, we would have privacy. Turned out NOT to be so private.
When we mentioned all this to Wirawan (owner) he offered us 3 tours with a driver so we could escape the construction site. He thought the tours to be compensation, we thought it to be a gesture of good will but definitely NOT compensation.

On the 14th day of our vacation I wanted to jump in the pool before breakfast but stopped dead in my tracks because the pool had become cloudy over night. I googled what a cloudy pool means and was shocked since it can be a real health hazard because of E-Coli in the water.
So, again, I contacted the owner who send a pool cleaner to add some chlorine tablets and clean the pool.
5 Days later (!) the pool was usable again, after exchanging the pool pump and adding chemicals the water was pristine again. Just in time for the next tenants since we were leaving two days later.
When asked for some compensation for having a big pool which was not usable - but having paid for it! - Wirawan wouldn't budge. We had to talk him into consoling us with a meal at a restaurant, which he first resisted but then agreed to. BUT with the stipulation of NO alcohol (expensive in Bali).
When asked for a refund for the construction next door and the 5 days of no pool he just said: "No refunds!" but offered us to stay in another villa in the north of Bali - FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS of our stay. Not only was 2 days of another Villa not making up for 21 days of construction noise but the villa he offered was 3,5 hours away from the airport which would have meant, getting up at about 6 to go to the airport, cutting the last day even shorter than it already had to be.
We declined since the compensation he offered was not, in any way or form COMPENSATION.

So, we took it up with FlipKey who offer a kind of insurance against stuff like we experienced. Unfortunately it didn't work at all since - you guessed it - Wirawan does not do refunds. FlipKeys "Peace-of-Mind-Insurance" did not help AT ALL.

Wirawans "compensations" cost him very little (I'd say about 5,000,000 IDR, ca. 300,- Euros) but the tours caused us more costs (eating oout, tips, admission fees etc.) and in a regular hotel we would have gotten back at least 35% of what we paid (that would have been around 1,600 Euros!!!).

To sum it up:
You want quiet, go somewhere else.
You want privacy, go somewhere else.
You want to be able to go shopping  without a car, go somewhere else.
You want beach, go somewhere else.
You want clean air, go somehwere else

I will NOT recommend this "Villa" to anybody.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">My friends and I had a blast staying at Villa Tantri. The rooms are very spacious and so are the bathrooms. Beds are comfortable and the housekeeping teams are all really nice! As they cleaned the villa every morning, they helped us to wash our dishes and gladly fulfilled our request to spray some insecticide aerosols in the bedroom (since there were some mosquitoes at night). The swimming pool is huge that it would be nice if we rented some floaties to play around with. Overall, it was an awesome stay and we would be more than happy to stay here again!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">I booked this villa for a group of 10 adults and 4 kids. The moment we stepped into  the villa we were in awe. Its so beautiful and huge. The pool is the largest of all of the 4 villas I have stayed in Bali.  We regret that we didnt stay here in the first place. 
The bedrooms were better than a 5 star hotel. The staff was so helpful and pleasant. Special mention for Anom. He went out of his way to help us with anything we needed and was always smiling no matter how many times we ask for his help. whenever I or my friends or family are visiting Bali we are staying here for sure. 
Best place to stay in Bali. Thanyou for making our stay memorable.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">What an AMAZING Villa!!
We stayed here in Oct 2015, 6 adults and 5 children and was perfect. The Villa itself was very spacious and aircon was in every bedroom, filtered water supplied daily, housekeeping daily and use of all amenities. The swimming pool was fantastic with a shallow end for the younger children. The friendly staff were very helpful and available 24/7.
The Villa is located between Seminyak and Kuta so transport is required to get around but well worth it to come back to your own 'Private Villa' everyday :)
The Villa Tantri is BETTER than the photos and we would highly recommend</p>
