Villa Jerami & Spa - Seminyak (Bali)

Pros 1) Villa size at 200sqm was largest of all we stayed in at Bali - besides enclosed bedroom, you enjoyed a private pool and spacious standalone open living and dining areas with your own kitchen, hot and cold water dispenser, fridge etc. There was also an outdoor shower and bathtub 2) Good sized pool from 1.2m to 1.5m where you can jump in from your bedroom. 3) Polite and helpful staff

Cons 1) Property showing signs of age at four years old. Bathroom door loud and squeaky, always closed with a bang. Tub stained and did not look inviting. Basin tap bit loose. Running water slight saltish taste 2) Living dining area was open concept with only fan thus was very hot during day and had mosquitos at night. Didn't have turn down service or any burning of mosquito coils, insect sprays etc. Bathroom was open concept too, thus always worried about mosquitos at night

We needed a break to relax and destress and after 5 nights we were totally refreshed. Lazed around our private pool - could even watch the TV while in the pool! Breakfast in our villa was lovely - great fresh juice from the blender(papaya, watermelon, pineapple, melon or orange). Only white bread available but we bought a fabulous loaf from the Bali Deli next door which is fantastic to wander around and pick up tasty nibbles, good wines or beers etc. You could even purchase lunch or dinner supplies if you wanted to cook in your villa but with so many great restaurants nearby, why bother. Reception arranged for a scooter for us to hire - 60,000RP a day. Staff were exceptional.

Only white bread for breakfast. The holes in the large overhead shower were very tiny so took a longer time to rinse off shampoo.

Excellent stay for a relaxing experience. The staff are very courteous and helpful. Definitely will be back!
