Villa La Sirena

Pleasantly surprised by this little hideaway located a few minutes from Kuta beach. Once you step inside it feels like a mix between island locale and modern furnishings. It is very open and we were worried about the openness, especially with the rain, but we stayed dry and it felt fresh. No need for windows or doors. Everything was as the pictures appeared, enhanced by the friendly staff, especially Agung and Gusman. Agung met our every need and we looked forward to her delicious breakfasts every morning. Can't say enough about how helpful she was in every way. From taxis to tours to addressing needs within the house (laundry/bedrooms). Gusman, her assistant, was very friendly and a pleasure to be around. Would definitely come back just to have them take care of us.

3 of my friends and I reached quite late - about 1am due to late night flight, the moment we stepped in was a major jaw-dropping moment. As the staff handing out refreshing towel and watermelon juice (yes, that's how they welcome you!), we tried to process all the information explained (let's just say after the staff left we didn't mind putting on some Queen B (beyonce, if you're wondering) music, blasting from the home theater and skinny dip into the pool at 2 freaking am (because it was that awesome). Woke up to the smell of toast - Agung and Guzman - can't even begin to fathom the awesomeness. All in all, it was a short weekend trip but sure was a blast; wouldn't stay in any other place if we ever come back to Bali. And we sure will!
