    The view, pool, restaurant, and shuttle service were very nice to have. The landscape and design of the rooms made me feel I was in Bali. The staff was great and greeted us in passing always.

    All the rooms have a beautiful view of the islands. The room is big and love the mix of ethnic and modern touch. Ellen from reception and Ariel who help drive us to the clinic are very genuinely polite and accomodating, same as the kitchen staff...
