Bali Baliku Beach Front Luxury Private Pool Villas

Was very disappointed in our stay. Location is very noisy, road noise, packs of dogs barking all night and general street noise were not a great start. We picked this place to ensure we were close to Jimbaran Beach to eat the seafood at one of the restaurants on the beach. Totally disappointed with the food at the beach and also the service. The “wait” staff were more interested in getting in more punters than serving the guests they already had sitting and waiting to order. So I wouldn’t recommend staying here for easy access to the beach restaurants which I rate as below average, being kind. Bali Baliku private pool villa is ok at best. Very tired rooms, very basic amenities and as I said before very noisy. Rooms were clean. The pool is okay, just need to watch the broken tiles to not scratch yourself. The pools are built in black stone, so pool stays at a bath temperature, ok if you want to spend a lot of time in the pool but not too refreshing. Lastly, the food. Terrible in a word. We stayed for 4 nights and gave breakfast a try twice. First we had a mie goreng and Nasi goreng. They were both bland, funny tasting and no chicken to be seen. We didn’t finish them. Tried the banana pancake and it was a dried up 1/2 waffle that was cut in half. Not the nicest. We looked at fruit but the flies seemed to be enjoying it so we decided not to interrupt them. Second morning breakfast was no better. Milk was foul in my tea and bread was beyond stale. I had bacon and eggs, couldn’t eat the “bacon” and the sides of potato and greens looked inedible so pretty much left it all except the scrambled eggs which were ok. As I was still hungry, looked at the pastry selection and it hadn’t moved from the day before and were stale and hard to the touch. Even the bread when toasted was still ordinary. My wife challenged the waitress about how stale things were but she said it was bought this morning, doubtful in our minds. We opened a butter for our toast and it was rancid and mouldy. We left restaurant as soon as we saw that butter. So breakfast day 3 and 4 was outside hotel as we didn’t want to go through that again. Towels we had were also stale smelling and not changed. All in all would not recommend to stay here especially at the price they are charging.

Just what we wanted. Total privacy. The villa is very generously sized and the private pool is a decent size and not over looked by anyone. It is a wonderful facility that we used every day at the end of a hard day sunbathing on the beach or when returning from a day out travelling the island. The location is fantastic being just 100 yards from Muaya beach and it’s great sunsets and restaurants. The staff could not do enough for us and the food was adequate although we only ever had breakfast. The place could do with a revamp here and there but on the whole and at the price it is exceptional value for money especially when compared to similar offerings from competitor venues.

This is my second stay at Bali Baliku, it was so good the first time that I returned for a 3 week stay. So private here, lovely spacious villa with garden and plunge pool, my own sanctuary. Staff are amazing and will do anything to make your stay a delight. They offer great massages and a basic but convenient restaurant with room service. From their reception it's a 30 metre walk to the beach of Jimbaran with an array of little restaurants to eat at, my favourite was Beekini Bar. Our reviews note it is 'looking tired' well it was not built yesterday, but it is certainly not shabby and represents great value for the price. The bathrooms are gorgeous and the interior of villa has a modern Balinese style (yes your're in Bali), the grounds are meticulously kept. Guess what? It's that good trip 3 is planned for 2020.
