Overall, our stay was good. Food at the hotel was good quality, but not as great as some of the other places in Bali for the same money. Rooms were clean on the surface, but could use a deep clean and a bit of a renovation in some spots since they are showing signs of wear and tear.

The.reason to stay here was for the balcony view of the animals. My kids were super excited to feed the animal from the balcony. Overall room was clean, but do expect critters during your stay. As this is an outdoor resort, they will be bugs, lizard that might make their way into your room.w However, you can always call the hotel staff to remove the lizards.
