We love Desamuda Village and come back every year. If you want a western, pristine hotel it may not be for you but that’s not what we come to Bali for. Yes there are areas that are a little run down but the deluxe pool villas we have always stayed in are just beautiful. Open air living rooms and bathrooms, well air conditioned bathrooms. Beautiful sun drenched pools to enjoy. We always indulge in the amazing spa services having staff perform massages in our villa by the pool. The grounds are immaculately kept and the staff and incredibly knowledgeable and kind. The location is excellent for walking to amazing cafes and restaurants, double six beach. It’s off the Main Street too so it’s beautiful and quiet yet right on the doorstep of so many great dining hotspots. Not as hectic as Canggu and not as scrappy as Kuta, this Seminyak location is within a half hour drive of both locations of you choose to visit. We go back every year because it’s peaceful, well located and the staff are excellent, going out of their way to help in any way possible. We will continue to return for these reason. Love it!
