The Bali house was amazing and location was perfect. The pool, beach and wildlife were amazing. It was very relaxing. Fernando greeted us and was wonderful. Brian kept the pool and property in perfect shape and found us a sloth on the property. I must say Maria was fantastic!! She is kind and has a good heart and is the best Chef and Kiara is a sous chef master! Maria set up every excursion and dinner reservation, we did not even need to think. Thank you.

Fantastic beautiful 5 bedroom house just a two minute walk thru the director Manual Antonio Beach (outside park). Chef Maria and her family are amazing. Fantastic layout for families or large groups.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Bali House! The house is amazing and beautiful!! Tons of space for our group of 10. Loved all of the wildlife you can see from the house and right around it. It was an incredible vacation and we would definitely stay there again. Maria is awesome!! And Fernando and all of the staff were so kind and helpful. And John was super responsive and helpful too! It felt like our own private oasis in the jungle but it was just a short walk down the path to the beach. Best of both worlds!

We visited in June 2018. The house, pool and setting are beautiful— it is an uplifting experience to stay here. We had a family of 10; 6 adults and 4 children ages 8-11. Maria Z. was our concierge and we emailed many times before the the trip to set up activities. She spoke perfect English, made restaurant reservations for us, called taxi, etc. It was a great help to have her make a list in advance to have Fernando (her father) stock the house with basic groceries. He put it on a tab, and gave us the receipt (no markup). He is the maintenance fellow easily available by phone. His wife did the cooking with Maria doing the setup, serving and cleanup. The helper was Andrea, a younger person who cleaned the kitchen, washed clothes, and made us 3 kinds of fresh fruit each morning.We chose to eat at the Bali House on alternate nights. The cost of each meal was about $28 per person. (Maria decided not charge for our granddaughter, saying she did not eat enough) I paid her cash USD each time just to keep up with it. For us, eating in was about the same as the cost of eating out and was so easy. Her hors d’oeurves were fantastic. We often had lunch the next day from leftovers. The pool was perfect. Many monkey visits to the mango tree on the deck. The beach about 150 yards down a gentle slope on a concrete walkway with bamboo railings, through what is essentially your own little private jungle. Unlock the loungers held by a chain, and unlock the gate (code for both). Easy. Beach was essentially our own—just a few people walk by, and some on horseback. Walk down the beach toward the national park a half mile and there are bars and restaurants, and you arrange the parasailing directly from the beach. There were no “beach toys” at the house as there were in some reviews. We rented a surfboard and boogie boards from a place on the beach and kept them just inside the gate.From the back of the house (the side away from the ocean), it is a very steep walk up a concrete driveway, maybe 200 yards up to the main road. We like to walk, but the main road is narrow with very little room for walkers, but you do get used to it.Taxi fare was usually about $15 US plus tip. The drivers were very accommodating, and would take us to the grocery, wait on us, then bring us back.Tipping was at the end, suggested $10 per room per day, so $50 per day. Internet was good, faster than I expected. The entire experience was a joy. We couldn't be happier at our choice.
