Villa Rama is part of the Villa Bugis group. We were very pleased with the 3-bedroom pool villa. Each bedroom had its own ensuite with outdoor shower. Air conditioning in each bedroom, although one bedroom's air conditioning wasn't as effective as the other two. Breakfast was cooked and served to us each morning in the villa at a time convenient to us. The pool itself was sensational and 4 sun lounges that folded down flat and a market umbrella were ideal. (not all villas I looked at had sun lounges that would go flat to sunbake).

The security guard would call us a taxi whenever we wanted one and the villa driver, Kutut drove us to Ubud for the day, stopping at a silver shop and a village of many dalongs along the way. He also drove us to a village where the rice terraces were clearly viewed, and to the Monkey Forest as well.

The only things that could be improved upon considering Villa Rama is 4.5 star is the lounge cushions could be renewed and the roof of the mosquito nets on all beds were covered in dead insects. The villa is down a very narrow laneway which has a lot of pot holes, so most taxi drivers expected double the amount than what was on their meter due to the inconvenience. This didn't bother us too much, but Villa Rama would be perfect if it was better located.

We stayed at villa krisna throughout Christmas and new year. The accomodation is fabulous and the staff cannot do enough for you. It is well worth getting the staff to arrange a driver for the day. He will take you throughout Bali to various interesting locations for around £30 for the whole day.
One day our filter on the pool stopped working .....the supervisor came around to apologise personally and offered to prepare an evening meal for us to make up. One thing worthy of note is that the pool depth starts at 4ft 6in not ideal if you have small children
Worth visiting is water bom park in kuta if you have children or are a child at heart. Worth booking for dinner is ultimo
There is a trip in the Villa briefing which is an ATV tour - these bikes are not the best and the tour is extreme in fact scary in parts.....there are more tame ATV tours for sale in the street.

The accommodation was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. Great location. Morning breakfast was done at a time to suit us and we were also asked the previous day what we would like for breakfast the next day. The Villa was spacious and well equipped. Air con and power cut out periodically but staff soon sorted it for us. Pool was a nice size and great for cooling off.

We spent two weeks at Villa Kebun in September with our 2 young children (3 years and 1 year) and loved every minute of it. From the moment we walked through the doors into the courtyard, the service and facilities were exceptional - the cool drinks/towels, flowers, fruit, breakfast the first morning - they really had thought of everything!

There are three large self contained bedrooms complete with private bathrooms, TV's, good storage, safe and mosquito nets. We were here just as a family but you could easily have had two or three independent groups staying (with children) and not feel cramped. In the shared living space the kitchen/lounge/dining were very well set up for entertaining and were well equipped with all the essentials you need (including a great range of books, dvd's and kitchen supplied). There's a microwave for sterilising and heating for kids meals too. We thought the filtered water AND bottled water in the bathrooms was a great touch - in the end we were fortunate to not be affected by the water so weren't using the bottles for brushing our teeth but understand that other travellers haven't been so lucky so always good to be careful.

Our favourite part of the place was the pool and cabana....our idea of heaven! We spent many a day, lounging aruond and keeping ourselves cool and it kept our children well entertained. There is no fence around the pool but for parents with young children, there is the option to have a temporary fence installed (at a fee) which is good to have.

The staff were amazing. They service the villa everyday and were so wonderful to our children and friendly. We used them for babysitting a number of times of an evening and our kids loved them. They were also fantastic for providing recommendations on where to go for food, shopping and general directions.

The villa is located in the heart of Seminyak's shopping district but far enough away from the nightlife to be very quiet and peaceful. It's a short stroll to the beach and other amenities such as spas, grocery shopping, good restaurants etc. To be honost, it's difficult to find fault with the place!

Overall, we had an absolutely amazing family holiday and would strongly recommend it as a paradise destination for anyone looking to unwind. There's plenty to do for those who are active and alternatively, if you want to laze around and relax, you always have the option to stay in the villa 24/7.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience.
