Villa La Sirena 4 by Nagisa Bali

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Sirena. Booked through Air BnB. Discounted price for 2 nights in between other peoples bookings, although there was a cleaning and service charge on top. Booking process was wholly online and I was surprised that the villa manager wanted to charge extra “cleaning charge” for my partner to stay too ( I mistakenly did not state 2 people in booking process). However I disputed this and we were not charged extra. Upstairs there there is a balcony area and adjoining 2 bedrooms with king beds, televisions, excellent A/C and personal ensuites. We got to choose which bedroom we wanted, and they locked off the other. One ensuite has a bath tub and shower, the other has big double shower. We chose the double shower, with rain shower head and regular shower head. Double basins too. Downstairs area consisted of open plan kitchen, dining, lounge area and semi divided tv room, overlooking the triangle shaped pool and deck. Off of this area there is another open bathroom with outdoor shower. The pool area was lovely with beautiful plants around the pool deck, and another outdoor shower hidden next to the pool. Pool floor and walls were textured with rough sandstone, so care must be taken not to scratch your feet. Pool lights also added to the ambience. The Villa manager arranged our transport at an extra cost, from the airport. We had trouble finding our driver ( he was apparently stuck in a traffic jam), but we eventually found him and commenced our drive to the villa. The van did smell like cigarettes though. We ordered our breakfast cooked each morning at (US $7 day each)and this was prepared by the lovely Agung and Gusman. The breakfast was amazing. Cleanliness and service was fantastic. Our only concerns-although minimal, were *some uneven pool decking. *private pool area had houses overlooking it -although mostly hidden by tall bamboo foliage. *Old (?) construction site over the fence needs demolishing, its an eyesore *Driver was not at airport in time (as stated above), and car smelt bad. * Security staff were asked to specifically order a Blue Bird taxi for us one evening, and a non-Blue Bird - “no meter” taxi arrived and overcharged us for a small trip at night time. * floating stair case with no hand or side railing could pose a danger.
