Daun Lebar Villas

Suitable for a honeymoon

NOT A 4-STAR HOTEL!!!LOCATION - The property is quite remote. I wouldn't recommend it if you want to stay close to the action.DECOR - While the rooms and open space were done up well, was not thought through. All the switches and plugs were hiding behind the beds. We had to move the beds to be able to access the plugs and switch on some lights.BASICs - it was missing simple basics like a hand towel, hand wash soap, mosquito repellent. When asked to provide hand towels and hand soap, they said they don't provide that. We were shocked to hear that. We kept demanding and they finally gave liquid soap in a shot glass and hand 2 hand towels full of stains. The bath towels were also not clean. For mosquito repellant, we were given a spray and expected us to use that with children in our rooms. Given the area is in the nature, there are many mosquitoes, one would expect them to provide mosquito repellent machines in room.FOOD – we just had lunch there and didn’t like anything that we ordered.TAXI / TOUR ACTIVITIES / AMENITIES - The don’t allow Grab on property and you can only book local taxis through the hotel which are obviously pricier that Grab taxi. We booked the property as they had amenities and expected them to help with booking tour activities as they are so outside of UBUD, there is no other tourist operator in the vicinity. But on arrival we were told some activities were unavailable and when asked to share details about the other tourist activities, their staff didn’t have any details and instead asked me to speak to local cab driver to share details.WIFI - NO WIFI in rooms. Only in the open area. Also, note they are so remote that the mobile data coverage in the area is really poor.HOSPITALITY - The property manager Mr Rai wasn’t all ears to our issues LISTEN and we had such a bad experience, that we checked out after 1st night, having booked for 3 nights.

First off, the staff here are absolutely amazing. They’re so welcoming and friendly, always up for a chat, and they have great recommendations for things to do in the area. I mean, they don’t have phones in the rooms, so you have to WhatsApp them if you need anything—but honestly, that didn’t bother us. They were super responsive, and we never had an issue with the service. In fact, talking to them was one of the highlights of our stay!Now, about the room. We stayed in Mawa, which was really cozy and perfect for a relaxing vacation. Just a heads-up: the bathroom door is transparent, so… let’s just say, you’re going to get pretty familiar with your partner’s showering and, well, bathroom habits! 😂 It’s kind of funny, but if you’re looking for a bit of privacy, you might need to send your partner out of the room for a few minutes when nature calls. Still, it wasn’t a dealbreaker for us, just something to keep in mind if you’re shy!The biggest downside? The location. This place is pretty far from any marts or warungs, so if you get the midnight munchies like we did, you might be out of luck. The villa’s restaurant is your only option, but their menu is quite limited, and the kitchen closes at 9:30 PM. That’s right—no late-night snacks unless you’re well-prepared or plan ahead! We tried ordering food through Grab and Gojek five times, and every single order got canceled. So, pro tip: if you’re staying here, grab some food before you head back for the evening!Also, don’t expect any pick-up service. They encourage supporting local drivers, which is great, but it means you’ll need to book your own transportation. I recommend using Klook or asking a friend for a private driver recommendation because the villa’s driver service is quite pricey. If you plan ahead, it’s no big deal, but it’s definitely something to be aware of.On the plus side, they do have a massage service on-site! We tried it twice, and while it was okay, it wasn’t anything to write home about. Just keep in mind that it’s a bit on the expensive side, and you’ll need to book in advance since they close at 9:30 PM, like everything else. I guess this place likes to wind down early!Overall, I’d say it was a nice stay. The villa is cozy, the staff are wonderful, and it’s a peaceful retreat if you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Just be prepared for the fact that it’s quite remote—so stock up on snacks, plan your meals, and get ready to embrace the transparent bathroom situation with a sense of humor! 😄Would I stay here again? Maybe, but I’d definitely bring some extra snacks and drinks next time to avoid those midnight hunger pangs!

The room is really nice and makes you feel lazy
