We wanted somewhere to chill for a few days before joining others at a Nusa Dua resort - which would be go go go. This was a perfect option for us.
The villa was spacious - over 3,000 sq ft - over 2 floors with a lovely garden and our own private pool. Very luxurious. The kitchen was well equipped, stove, utensils, fridge, microwave. Only thing it lacked was washer/dryer facilities. There were TVs in 2 of the 3 bedrooms all with cable. Wifi was strong and constant. Breakfast was truly average, but that's ok. No big deal.
We had a private masseuse come to the villa - very very nice. It was awesome having a massage with the ocean sounds right outside. So so relaxing.
We booked car transport from the airport through Bali Diamond and our driver was AWESOME. His name was Madi and we used him for all our trips over the 3 days we stayed. We did a short trip to Ubud for white water rafting and he was great showing us sights on the way. A good guy.
The villas are a little out of the way, but right on the very unique black sand beach. The waves are perfect for surfers but not patrolled so kids need to be careful. It's quite undiscovered and no real swimmers on the beach. About 100m north is the Komune - a large modern hotel/resort which has a good restaurant and a very cool surfer vibe.
Bali Diamond Villas is a "diamond in the rough" -- comfortable and great for a group.
