Villa Voyage

Villa Voyage is located at Sandy Bay (if I recall correctly) which has a great view of the Devil's Tears on the left of the bay. Crashing waves offer a dramatic view daily. We were advised not to go swimming out in the bay but a few of us still decided to check it out on one of the days when the tide and waves were ok for swimming/snorkelling/freediving. I wouldn't recommend swimming there unless you're a strong swimmer (we didn't see anyone else swimming out there during our stay), but I thoroughly enjoyed our 30 minutes out in the bay with a little overhang on the right of the bay which you can swim under (not too much of an issue for surfers or freedivers). Do wear booties or water shoes as the entry points there are rocky. Sunsets on the beach right in front of the villa were brilliant. We were there in December which is supposed to be the rainy season, but apart from the one day which was mostly rained out, the showers were intermittent - we could have been really lucky. Being cautious about having bad weather for whole trip, we took the first opportunity after a short rain to walk to the Devil's Tears. There are rock pools there, with a few blowholes about, and these are probably the best sights you'll have, and shouldn't miss, on Lembongan. There are 5 rooms with 4 of them in the main villa (the rooms on the 2nd floor had the best views and are the most spacious ones with balconies, whilst the master bedroom had a huge bathroom area and bathtub) with the last standalone room near the entrance to the villa. The villa's amenities were good and there were 2 bluetooth portable speakers UE Boom and Bose Soundlink (music is crucial for us) which we were able to bring around everywhere in the villa. The staff were also spot on with the cleaning, quick with the provision of beach/pool towels when they saw us ready to jump into the pool (saltwater - I imagine it must be difficult to have the amount of fresh water transported there and most if not all of the pools in Lembongan are probably saltwater pools), and always ready to make your stay there as comfortable as possible. There are also floats for kids and adults alike to properly lounge in the pool. The inhouse chef makes good Indonesian cuisine - we're fussy with our food as with most Singaporeans but we enjoyed the Indonesian food on offer. Just next to the villa is a beach club which we ordered take out for one of our dinners during our stay, and they serve decent western food - pizzas and the like. Special mention has to go to Made, the manager of the villa, who was everpresent without ever being intrusive. Every detail was taken care of for all of us - we've stayed in many villas in bali previously but Made was absolutely first class and definitely impressed us with his care for the guests, and for me at least, was the best manager I've encountered to-date. I didn't given a 5-star rating for our stay for two reasons: (1) it stormed overnight on our first night, and water leaked from the roof into the two 2nd floor rooms. I informed Made of this the next morning, since the water actually leaked onto one of the beds and a couple of us obviously didn't sleep well. This was probably a one-off as it was a proper storm that night, and we didn't have any issues the rest of our stay. I do think however that the waterproofing for the roofs should be improved. (2) there were a few electrical sockets which jut out from the floor in the living room area - to me this are design flaws, as it could cause guests to trip on them. One of these floor sockets was also not properly installed/protected and caused a mild shock to one of our friends who accidentally touched it. This is a safety issue which I believe definitely has to be rectified, but knowing Made, he will or has probably already taken steps to sort this out with the villa owners. All in all, we definitely enjoyed our stay here and if we do return to Lembongan in a big enough group as we did this time, we would definitely stay here again.

Very kind staff and great service! Always available and ready to help with anything. Nice view! Love the ambience of the living room too. Thankyou villa voyage we're all so happy :)
