Makali Temple Village

A beautiful villa, loved the pool and bottom level area. A really nice place to relax, nice surrounds, pretty entrance with the plants and walkway. Hosts were really nice people!

The only criticism I could give is the tiles upstairs needing an update, tiles looked quite dirty/old. A hanger for towels in the bathroom also.

Excellent design of the villa, and well maintained too. Superb

I did not include breakfast

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Makali. It took us a while to feel “at home” in the villa for a couple of reasons; however, once we got used to these things and felt comfortable after the first 48 hours. Pros: 1. Great pool (although we were told it was freshwater but it stung our eyes so not sure that’s true) 2. Great large rooms and comfy beds 3. Fantastic couch 4. Great massage service at reasonable pric Cons: 1. The showers have large windows with plants outside however there are gaps which means anyone standing outside the villa can see into the shower / the neighbouring villas shower can see into ours. 2. The reason I stayed at the villa was to cook for my toddler. The hot plates took forced to boil water and there was no cookware which was appropriate to cook anything except one or two eggs. The sink leaks when filled with water. Limited number of bowls and plates etc. 3. The fridge does not cool beyond 13 degrees for most of the day (food safety is 0-5 degrees) so I had to put my daughters food in the reception fridge and felt embarrassed everytime I had to ask for an item from it as there was always random people hanging around who I weren’t sure if they were staff. 4. People can walk beside our villa and see into the pool. This made me uncomfortable as men would pass by the walkway to attend religious ceremonies in the jungle near us (quite loud at times). 5. The villa is in a random street with poor sign posting and taxis find it hard to get the right driveway.

Brilliant ammenities. The staff are excellent. Any request was happily done and very efficiently and timely.

Great staff, location and comfort

Air conditioning could work better

The villa was amazing, the design and small touches were super luxe. The staff at the property were incredibly friendly and welcoming and ensured we were well looked after the whole stay. There were lots of lovely extra touches like complimentary health shots in the fridge each morning and the filtered water tap which made the stay extra comfortable.

There is almost nothing negative about our stay at Makali, however one thing to improve would be the strength of the aircon in the villa, the floor to ceiling windows and sunlight throughout the day meant the villa did get quite hot and we had to keep the curtains closed in order to allow the aircon to cool down the room, an additional or stronger aircon could help to improve the temperature.

Villa was much more beautiful and flawless than I expected. I had an amazing time there. I will definitely turn back. The only disadvantage if you come by bike - the road isn’t fine.
