Agung View Villa, Nusa Penida

the view, the room, the service by the host

the road is a bumpy and dark at night

excellent outlook from all rooms, nice plunge pool. staff were very helpful and communicated well.

Access by vehicle to property is quite long but manageable because once there you can walk to main port area in a few minutes.

Nice place, close to town. Good food and friendly people.

Bit difficult to get to by road, walk from town easy though.

The view

Hard access with lots of stairs

- The view is beautiful. - The pool was nice to sit in but not really big enough for a proper swim. - The staff are friendly.

- The Road is really bad. Struggled to find a taxi that would take us because ‘the road is broken’. Managed to eventually find one but had to pay a lot of money. When we explained this to the owner, he just laughed. - Access is available by the beach but it is quite a hike. Dangerous at night with lots of animals. The owner could provide head torches as you need both hands free to walk safely. - Room wasn’t cleaned at all during our stay. - No hot water at all. We were told that if we ran it for 10 minutes, hot water would come. We ran it for half an hour and nothing but cold water. - Breakfast was an extortionate price. Never seen individual itemised costs for breakfast before. - The owner offered to take us in his boat to the ferry port to get the fast boat back to Bali. Mentioned 3 times that we would have to pay 100k. Seems very cheeky seeing as there is not other option! You cannot use the beach access with big bags (and no chance at all if your bags have wheels). Also expensive when the fast boat back to Bali is 175k! - Sitting outside the room is nice but the smell of sewage is constant and horrible. It doesn’t ever seem to go away. - As well as no hot water, the shower leaks all over the bathroom. You have to mop it up after as the tiles will take hours to dry. - Air conditioning is basically useless. The remote control never worked and there’s no way to change the settings. - The sound of the mosque obviously can’t be helped but it is very very loud. We have stayed in previous places where they provided earplugs free of charge which was a nice touch. - The laundry service was the most expensive we have ever come across in South East Asia (30k/kg). Our clothes were also given back to us still damp. There’s a laundry just up the road for half the price. Might not be a problem for most people but if you’re travelling around, laundry costs quickly add up. - WiFi only worked when sitting outside and sometimes not at all.

It was a short interesting walk to the harbour and Main Street. We had some great snorkeling straight off their jetty. The highlight for me was a swim with an octopus and watching several lion fish dance. This happened within a 100 metres of their jetty and in degraded reef areas . Plenty of black clown fish about as well. We stayed in the apartment and it was great to have a big fridge and cooktop. Thanks Komang and team for being great hosts.

I have to admit that the loudness of the local mosques “call to prayer” starting at 4 am got a little tiresome by the 3rd day. Wouldn’t have minded it so much if it was live and not a recording. Hot water was not working.
