Please understand that the tropics are always full of little creatures, and if this is likely to bother you you should consider a resort where they choose to spray their entire grounds to remove all the insects. Since we are also in a rural area, seasonal noises from the field from rice farming and local temples may carry across the fields. This is the paradox of visiting Bali - it’s a growing mix of modern and ancient which the Balinese themselves manage with a gentle and effortless smile. It’s really what makes this island special. Please note that our nightly price includes 2 guests (1 bedroom). Extra guests are charged at $30 per person per night. - Q: What time is the Check-in policy? -A: Please be informed that check-in time is at 14:00 by default. Arriving earlier?
