Stayed for 2 nights with my husband in the beach wing, “Best Room”, first floor.
Cons:
1. Photos available on website are the one on ground floor, where bathtub is outside showing a romantic cadre but first floor room is very disappointing. It lack originality, no decor.
2. You can barely sit by the pool, its too windy.
3. It has its private beach reserved for the hotel only, it was very dirty, lots of algae you cannot even step in the water.
4. We wanted to do the water-sports, went to the reception to book same, they said to go to the boathouse, it was closed and when we enquire about it no one could give a proper reply of when it would be open. For the 3 days we were there the boathouse remained closed.
5. The food is average, nothing special and also lack variety, breakfast everyday you get the same thing, buffet you have very limited choices, a la carte menu for lunch and dinner is very similar, its like you are eating the same thing.
6. Iron your clothes before going, i asked the reception if they could bring it to my room, they said i have to come get it to the reception, which was very far from the beach wing.
7. Hotel infrastructure clearly needs renovation.
Pros:
1. Very friendly staff.
2. Rooms were cleaned, with basics provided, tea, coffee, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel.
3. Waiters were courteous and provided a good service.
4. Pools were cleaned.
5. I highly recommend their Balinese Spa, these ladies are truly gifted.
6. Beach wing is a very quiet place, good for relaxing.
Overall, i would rate my stay 5 out of 10. I won’t be visiting Ocean Villas again, but i shared my personal experience. Others might experience it differently.
