Ok, first of all, I need to be clear that this review is for the Ahimsa at Jln Kunti and not the one by the beach. I accidentally booked this place without realising that it's not the one near the beach. No regrets, however. It was a truly satisfying stay and I simply love it!

When I first arrived at the villa, I was taken aback by how small the reception area was and the location as well. It was a small room located at the entrance, opposite the guard house. I was actually expecting a grand reception possibly overlooking a big pool or some sort. I soon realise that there was no need for this as the breakfast was cooked and served at your own villa with your own private pool! It was absolutely brilliant!

Some previous comments about noise was quite right. Even though we were in our own villa, we could still hear the sound of motorbikes but that didn't bother us too much. I love that they had a huge tv in the common area and tvs in each room as well. You could have your own privacy as well as enjoy time with friends and family in the common area.

The decor was nice and balinese with a modern touch. But I must say that the villas needed a little upgrading. I understand from the locals that the villas are 11 years old so there is quite a fair bit of wear and tear around the villa. Walls needed to be re-painted, even the paint on the door was coming off. The rain shower in our bathroom wasn't really like the rain as some of the holes were stuck. Drainage cleared fast enough so that was good.

Overall, a really good place to stay and the location is perfect. I would've given this place 5 stars if the other little things were taken care of. The staff were great!
