  Good Value Bali Villa

  31 Mar 2024

  The entrance to the villas is just along the Batu Belig road, so it is easy to find. There is also a small parking area in front of the lobby so that your transport(bike or car) could drive in to pick you up, instead of you having to wait along the main road under the sun.The staff are all very friendly and polite. If you do not mind providing your mobile no and use whatsapp, you can communicate with the receptionist via WA instead of calling them thru the landline.The villa is spacious. Bedroom has a king sized bed(i think), 2 bedside tables, a study table, a vanity table with mirror and a closet for clothes. The bathroom has a bathtub and an open shower area. Going out of the bedroom is the private pool. It is clean, except for the leaves falling into the pool. It is not a big pool but it is already one of the bigger ones in a 1-bedroom villa. You can have 3 complete strokes before reaching the other end. Lastly it is the living room and kitchen area. There is a sofa set and a TV, a kitchen with nearly all kitchenware. A microwave oven and a fridge are available. It has one of the most complete set of kitchenware as compared to other villas which I have stayed in.The bed was comfortable with good pillows. Wifi was stable and there were sufficient TV channels.There are many shops along Batu Belig, especially convenience shops. To get around, you can easily get a Grab or Gojek transport.One of the cons in this villas is the mosquitoes and ants. The villa is clean, but as there are plants all around the villa and it is a tropical country, there are mosquitoes. I am one who "attracts" mosquitoes and I do hate them. The villa will provide 2 mosquito coils per day but i bought my own box as i need 3-4 coils to be lit throughout the whole day. I would recommend the villa to provide cleaner mosquito coil containers though and maybe leaving a whole box of coils in each villa. As for the ants, I guess the best is to put some ant killer baits to at least reduce the no of ants. I was lucky that the ants were only roaming the kitchen and living room areas and not in the bedroom.Another thing is more of a design issue. The bedroom and the living room cum kitchen are 2 separate structures and one has to walk out of bedroom, walk on a short pathway and to the living/kitchen area. There is a small area(~2m) where there is no shelter and when it rains, one will get wet. Might be good to have continuous shelter.Overall, I had a very good stay in Awan Villa and would definitely recommend it.

  Disappointing Experience at The Awan Villas, Bali

  02 Dec 2023

  Our stay at The Awan Villas in Bali was unfortunately far from satisfactory. Initially checked into Room 4, we encountered an overwhelming mosquito problem, which seemed to originate from a breeding ground behind the shower. This issue was exacerbated by an outdoor shower area that was so unclean it was unusable. As someone familiar with dealing with mosquitoes in Asia, this was beyond anything I've encountered.The request to move to the duplex unit with an enclosed upstairs bathroom due to our 1-year-old daughter's safety concerns did little to improve our experience. The property's facilities were visibly aged, with peeling laminate, worn-out furniture, and generally run-down amenities. Despite the staff's efforts to address our concerns, the rooms remained subpar.Moreover, the location wasn't as close to the beach as advertised, contradicting the purported proximity. The recurring issues extended beyond the rooms: power outages, malfunctioning backup generators, doors that didn't seal properly, and difficulty in locking them. The hairdryer's limited power outlet usability and the constant power trips added frustration to our stay. The pool in both villas was unkempt, strewn with debris, far from the expected standard of cleanliness.While the breakfast was passable, it failed to meet expectations for a property rated at 4.5 stars. The preoccupation with inventory and warnings about payment for any broken items upon check-in created an unwelcoming atmosphere. The inventory check during checkout felt uncomfortably intrusive, akin to being treated as potential criminals.Despite the decent Wi-Fi, which was a small consolation, the overall experience was far removed from the advertised quality. Regrettably, I cannot recommend The Awan Villas, rating it far lower than its advertised 4.5 stars. A generous evaluation might grant it 2 stars, but my experience warrants only a 1-star rating. It's the first time leaving Bali relieved to return to a comfortable home environment—a stark contrast to the discomfort experienced at The Awan Villas.

  Amazing place with a private pool

  29 Jul 2023

  Amazing place with a private pool. The property was a bit old but well maintained. The bathroom was also very spacious. The pool was amazing. Ideal place for couples, family and friends. The staff was very efficient and friendly. They even arranged a floating breakfast for us on request. We were able to rent a bike at a very low price from them. The location of the property is also very good. Situated on the main road. Easily accessible.

  Love the ambience!

  12 Jul 2021

  My best friend who celebrated his birthday in Bali, booked one two-bed rooms villa for us. The place is cozy and we love the ambience so much. Only spent one night stay here and overall was great. I remembered taking a nap on the sun-lounger and it is so relaxing. I and my friends enjoyed listening to the music, having massage in the room and enjoyed swimming in the pool. We also have a very good sleep during the night. All the facilities are well equipped, kitchen set with dining table and I loved the open space around the shower area. We planned to extend the stay for another one more night, apparently the villas were fully booked so we need to moving out, luckily have booked other villa still around in Batu Belig areas. Location is superb, because there is Indomaret available right at the front of Awan Villas and easy access to nearby Warung or Cafe. The staff also friendly. Need to maintain the cleanliness in the kitchen area. Some cupboard or drawer seem never open in ages and smell bit dusty. Hopefully everyone will be always stay safe and healthy. Matur Sukseme Awan Villas..

  “Luxury” living

  01 Oct 2019

  As my headline mention “luxury”, I will start by saying this was a fantastic stay for us. “Luxury” because this is not a luxury hotel. But to have your own villa, big enough for our family of 4, with your own pool and plenty of space to sit and move around at, is luxury! Breakfast that you order the day before come to your room, and staff is very nice and speak excellent English. We found ourself not wanting to leave the villa, which might be less smart if you want to experience Bali, but on the last day we had an all day trip to Ubud, so we’re covered. Rooms are all big enough with double beds. All rooms have bathrooms and an extra you find in the living room area. WiFi worked fine, especially if you are used to Chinese WiFi as we are. Away from all disco and nightclubs, which is good for some not for others. For us it was great as we were here to relax. It will take you 20 minutes to walk down to the ocean. We would like to recommend anyone that thinks about coming to this area of Bali to check this hotel out, it is well worth trying as the prices are reasonable and the service and staff are great. I would stay for longer if I could:) I add some pictures that I took from the exterior.
