It is amazing to see how development in Bali has progressed since I first went there in 1976.
Regardless of the rapid expansion in the number of hotels & villas, the friendly welcoming attitude towards us of the Balinese people has not changed at all.
However, by a long way, the most pleasant stays have been at The Dusun Family Villas in Seminyak.
It is so rare for a review of a holiday destination to exceed the reality of the experience, but this is not the case with The Dusun where we have stayed twice in the recent few months. It has by far exceeded all our expectations & sets a high bar for others to try to follow.
The location is ideal being a very short distance to excellent shopping, wonderful restaurants & the beach.
Not only are the facilities of such a high standard, but the attitude of all the staff was exemplary & this is a feature worthy of mention.
It is certainly easy to find less expensive accommodation, but if one is looking for value for money & wishes the best Bali has to offer, this is it. It certainly beats staying in a quality hotel any day!
We felt as though we were visiting friends who could not do enough for us & no request was ever beyond their immediate capability.
Having a driver available at all times was a bonus & if they were all busy, The Dusun provided at their own cost, a reliable taxi service.
Without doubt we will be back there again when next we return to Bali as nowhere else could we feel as comfortable or as welcome.
Congratulations & well done to all of you.
