We've just returned from here and were totally disappointed
We were picked up by taxi from the airport which the hotel organized , which was great, charged 25 us $ for this , leaving to fly home , the taxi we booked only cost us 6$ ?????? First rip off
We were " greeted" by an old "miss world wannabe" who tried her best to smile but obviously didn't do it that often so it was a big struggle for her.
We were shown to our room, a downstairs villa ....... In fact this was a dark , damp room full of mozzies , a ramshackle camping stove with an old gas bottle was the cooker , the fridge was teeny and barely kept things cold
The bedroom was dark , a dirty , ripped mozzy net covered the bed and the air con was old and noisy and struggled to keep the room cool
The bathroom stunk of sewerage and the wall were covered in mould and peeling paint, the ceiling had obviously had a leak as was covered in water stains, we reported this and they were obviously aware of the problem, told us to keep the extractor fan on constantly, offered us another room which was just as bad as ours !!!!!
The pool was lovely when we first arrived but as the week went on it got dirtier , by our last day it was murky...We've just returned from here and were totally disappointed

The pool was lovely when we first arrived but as the week went on it got dirtier , by our last day it was murky and obviously not cleaned all week , like the sun beds, full of stains and dirt , we wouldn't use them .
The breakfasts were lovely and the kitchen staff very pleasant and helpful
Most of the other staff were nice and friendly but the main reception staff need to learn to be more friendly and not whisper to each other in baleniese .
The gardens are beautiful and very well kept but can't help thinking that this is the reason for the enormous amount of Mosquitos , maybe if they put more effort into the upkeep of the rooms instead of spending all the time pruning the gardens , they would have a better class of accommodation
The free wifi which is advertised is non existent unless you go and sit outside your room and get bitten to shreds by the mozzies.
I would NEVER return to the puri dewa and wouldn't recommend it to anyone :(More
