Mai Mesaree Villa

We rented a 2 bedroom villa to spend Christmas with our kids. The place is very peaceful with a nice garden and a private pool. Villa and pool was cleaned everyday and we had breakfast served every morning. The couple who manages the place is very friendly and very helpful. They advised us for best place to change money and to rent a motorcycle. Only drawback was the WiFi : only available in the lobby - not in the villa. The place is a bit isolated and one needs a motorcycle or taxi to go shopping or to restaurants.

I stayed here for 3 nights as part of my honeymoon trip around Bali. I was a little hesitant at first as this is a little outside of Sanur and the street is not very touristy however the compound and villas within are lovely! The Staff are very friendly and helpful. The villas are about a 5 minute taxi journey into Sanur (the hotel will book these for you). For the price we paid, I was very happy with the Villa. It was very large & spacious with an 'inside/outside' layout, a kitchen area with a kettle and fridge, a living room and separate bedroom. There was a lovely pool and outside shower. The breakfast included was lovely (we opted for nasi Goreng every day). There are noises of local dogs, chickens & roosters, Geckos etc but this is to be expected as this compound is in a normal residential area. A few slight tweaks would make this place perfect- our room could do with a lick of paint and the bathroom upgrading (the sink was broken, and the flusher kept breaking on the toilet), and the sun lounger by the pool was also broken. If you want budget privacy, your own pool away from the crowds stay here :)

Distance from Ngurah Rai to the villa about 30 minutes drive. We took a cab that cost about IDR250,000. Villa was great as the compound and the surrounding was spacious. Unfortunately the television signal was bad. 2nd day early in the morning, the Villa manager offered to change room and we agreed. The staff is friendly, cheerful and helpful. Night time when we are not on plan to go elsewhere, the staff lend a hand to buy dinner as the kitchen closed for that day. Sanur Beach only 5 minutes drive from the villa. Overall this villa is suitable for the people who need privacy and recommended.
