Bali Diamond Estates and Villas

This place is beautiful. We loved the views and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back but only issue was cook made our and all other villas breakfast from our villa. So when we wanted a late breakfast so kids could sleep in, cook still came early to make breakfast for other people in other villas, at one point, she had made 7 other people's breakfast. Luckily they got to sleep in and no noise whilst we were all woken up early. However, I would still come back but make clear with reception that either no breakfast for our villa so we didn't get woken up early OR we stay in the villa the cook doesn't cooks everyone's breakfast from.

We stayed in the large 5-bed villa #3 and was 7 of us, 2 coupes and 3 teenage boys. We had heaps of space and the property was total luxury with 5 beds with ensuite and massage room. The pool and surround gardens were massive with rear gate opening onto the beach. The service was excellent with grounds staff and housekeeping constantly maintaining everything. Breakfast was good but menu was small and staff werent able to slightly vary. Not their fault, I suspect thats what they were instructed. For variety we ate at nearby warung on beach. Hotel Komune is nearby but food is ordinary. For dinner we ate at Warong Legong which was fantastic and also its neighbour Warung Karung which offered great food at ridiculously cheap prices. We went to Keramas for surfing but if you didnt surf its hard to see why you would stay here as the beach is black sand and often rubbish on the shoreline. You wouldnt swim in the oecan here at all. An amazing property for visiting surfers or surfing families.

We found this gem on the internet, we were not disappointed. We stayed in beach front villa number 8 with 3 bedrooms, we chose "our" bedroom (master bedroom upstairs with beach view), the other bedrooms stayed locked (although we had the keys). The villas are spacious, every villa with a different layout and furniture, all with a large private pool built from dark lava stones (hence the really warm pool water), set in a well maintained garden. The balcony upstairs overlooks the sea and the beautiful sunrises, which you can also admire from your own (closed) garden which ends where the beach begins. The place is absolutely quiet, not much to do except surfing (swimming not really recommended because of the big waves) and taking walks on the beach - we loved it. "Our" villa could do with some renovation although everything you need (and more) is present. The kitchen isn't really equipped for home cooking or washing up, the upstairs could do with an extra fan at the ceiling or a curtain to keep out the heat - the whole house relies on the airco from downstairs, although each bedroom also has their own airco. There were 2 large fridges and freezers, and a bottle-machine providing complimentary hot & cold water. We loved sleeping with open window to hear the waves (and the thunder and sometimes heavy rains). The bedroom was a fair size with a good bed, the bathroom had warm water every day and a good shower and free amenities, the free WiFi, especially according to Balinese standards, was excellent. Each bedroom has a TV as does the living room but who watches TV on holiday when you can sit outside and enjoy the warm evening and nights? Our house had its own gekko, awesome sound! Breakfast was good and included in the price and was brought to the villa on the time requested. There could however be some more choice for breakfast without eggs. We had dinner delivered a couple of times, everything was good, from pizza to hamburgers to Indonesian food, at reasonable prices. The staff was plenty and very friendly and helpful, although some have a little trouble speaking English (not a problem though). There are a couple warungs in the neighbourhood where you can buy drinks and food and day-to-day necessities. The beach is cleaned every morning, Anything you need, the staff will arrange for you. If you are looking for a really quiet spot with a superb view, this is the place to be!
