Testimonials and Reviews
“An island of comfort within a jungle. Modern spacious flat, kitchen with everything you need, balcony with a stunning view, small grocery store right outside. It is not near the beach, but you can get to the ocean in 10 minutes – tuk-tuk is always nearby. Or spent extra 5 and go to local Wijaya (aka Turtle) beach, where you can swim among the turtles and feed them. Don’t leave any open food on the table or in the drawers though – army of ants will come and try to take your bread away. 10/10, will come again.”

Loved that they had everything including a washing machine with drying facilities. Though you are not in the beach front we could see the sea from the windows. The benefit of staying on the 9th floor with a nice breeze and the spectacular . The security staff was very friendly and nice.
