My family (2 adults and 2 teenagers) stayed here from 26 Jan - 31 Jan 2012. We loved the villa, the space, the luxury, the pool and of course the wonderful staff. We had a three bedroom villa in the Villas Estate which is next door to the Original Villas, where reception is located. We stayed in villa number 20 - a great location. We opted to have breakfast cooked in our villa each morning and were delighted. The breakfast was beautifully presented, enormous and very tasty. We rarely ate lunch as breakfast was so delicious and filling. The pool was the best - big, deep and the temperature was just right no matter time of the day or night you had a swim. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable - the only down side for me was that the bed was quite hard. I normally like a very firm bed, but the bed was hard more than firm. Not a deal breaker, but worth mentioning. Everything else was great - the staff, the security guards - all were extremely helpful. The service was outstanding - nothing was too much trouble and always with a smile. Great location - within walking distance or a cheap taxi ride of everything you need. We highly recommend The Villas.

Bedroom villas are located in different houses and have no common walls. Swimming pool is large enough and deep. (up to 2m). Kitchen with a full set of dishes. A large isolated territory. We stayed in a villa with three bedrooms, № 18 (highly recommend) on Jalan Kunti. This is important, because the villa "Sunset" are far from the hotel lobby and it's a different story. Villa number 18 is located far enough from the street, not to hear the noise and close enough to visit the restaurant, spa and Bali Deli supermarket. This is the best supermarket in Bali.
If this villa (with opposite Bali Deli) would have been overlooking the ocean, I would have never gone away (just kidding).

I just got back after spending 9 days at the Villas. The place is amazing and I loved every moment there. The breakfast in the mornings were mostly excellent (I strongly suggest anything from the Indonesian menu or the Japanese breaky). I stayed in a 1 bedroom villa and my friends were in a 2 bedroom one. Bother were excellent, however the 2 bedroom was much better (obviously with twice the space).

If you have the chance, go have breakfast in the restaurant. While it's not as awesome as ordering it in your villa and having a swim while they cook breakfast, the staff are very friendly and great to chat too. They were always happy to teach us the local lingo and point us in the direction of something interesting to see.

The one bedroom had an open air lounge room we barely used as it was a little too warm at times where as the 2 bedder had an enclosed one (and a third toilet).

The service levels was amazing (although to be frank it seemed to be standard in Bali). We didn't realise our door bell was broken (could only hear it in the bedroom). Came home one day and when the door bell rang it suddenly worked. One of the cleaners realised a light fitting was slightly broken and sent someone to repair it that day. My friends were listening to the stereo through their iphone. The cable wasn't working properly. One of the staff members went into Denpasar and bought a new one and returned 30 minutes later running in while still unwrapping it.

I'm going to be nit picky here and list the only negatives I found during my stay:

* The slippers. We has a pair of old slippers that had been clearly worn before. This wasn't the turn off, what was the turn off was you could clearly see the dead skin left by others. They needed to be laundered between guests or Rp10,000 spent on a new pair.

* There is no closet space. You basically will be living out of your suitcase. There's a small area to hang things but some reworking of the bedroom to include a closet would be a plus.

* The staff at times were overly friendly to the point of being uncomfortable. I stayed on the original site and in order to leave you needed to walk past reception. Every single staff member would say hello as you passed them. The reception staff would walk out of the reception when they saw you coming and great you. At times I felt like I was in the beginning of a horror movie.

* Lack of resupplies. We had milk in our fridge when we arrived. In the 9 days this was never replaced. It wasn't a big issue as the Deli across the road (which is amazing btw) had some. Also I had a tea and coffee box which was never restocked. My friends in the other villa never had a tea and coffee box for the entire stay. It's only a little thing but it's kind of strange considering the extent they went to on other things.

* I found the bed a little hard.

* The wifi is intermittent. I don't mean the internet (which was ordinary at best) but the wifi connection on all my devices would drop out on a regular basis. I stuck to my 3G connection (Telkomsel is pretty decent).

As you can see these are small issues.

Also a comment on the comments about the other properties. I didn't stay on the other properties but they were within a clear proximity of the original resort. One was next door and the other was literally 100 metres away. They were all on Kunti 1 and within 2 minutes walk of each other. None of this crap about being forced to walk through dodgy alleyways. Kunti 1 is like every other street in Bali, uneven awful footpaths where you need to walk single file.

This was as described on their website, was nice to have our breakfast cooked for us in our villa and our own private pool!
