Mandala Desa — Hotel in Pulau Bali

Absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, the hosting family and their incredibly friendly staff made us feel like part of their own with unparalleled warmth and hospitality. The villa itself is stunning, nestled in a picturesque setting that relaxes the mind and delights the senses. Every room was impeccably clean, beautifully furnished, and offered all the comforts of home along with some luxurious extras.

The staff was attentive, efficient, and always smiling, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast each morning was a highlight, featuring a great variety of options to suit all tastes, from local specialties to international favorites. The coffee was particularly excellent, a perfect start to the day!

The family and staff were also on hand with helpful tips about the local area and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Their recommendations for dining and activities were spot on. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect retreat. Highly recommend for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a slice...

This Resort has been my favourite week in 2 year fulltime travel. And that means a lot. The villa we had was beyond perfect. The staff was always happy, helpful and smiling. The garden... wow. It's a giant garden with a lovely pool, many flowers, lovebirds, wild butterflies, lots of beautiful dragonflies over the ponds filled with big goldfish. Many cute little huts with pillows near the pool to sit and relax. In the back of the resort garden there are horses and another cute hut with swings. Our children loved it! Oh and also, the owners have a sweet pet dog and in the garden there is a closet with many books and board games. The resort overlooks a beautiful rice field, i enjoyed watching the big, white birds over the field and hearing cricket sounds. Also lots of little, lovely geckos everywhere. Very nearby is the Bali Zoo and also the Bird Park and the Reptile Park. We've visited the Reptile park and it was lovely. But when you book here you won't need to leave, we loved staying at the resort the most. Feels like home...

We stayed at Mandala Desa because it's close to Bali Zoo, and the stay was overall enjoyable. The hotel is kind of in the middle of some rice fields, so it was quiet, which is great! We stayed on the second floor, which also has an amazing view of the rice fields. The room is simple and spacious, and the staffs are very friendly as well.

However, we did came across a giant cockroach and had trouble turning on the mosquito light during our stay, which made it hard to get rid of an annoying mosquito one night, but I guess that's normal when you live in a farm land, I just wish the doors can have better sealing to prevent bugs from coming in.

Also, hot water is very limited. We pretty much only had cold water half way through our showers, which is not a huge problem per se, because it was summer time. We basically would have had to change our showering habit of letting the water run at all time, if we really didn't want cold showers.

Even with the few negatives I had, I still highly recommend this place. Those are just...
