Aqua Nusa - Boutique Lembongan Villas

Don’t be taken in by the view or the king receptionist. The place is filthy, behind a tattoo parlor, and there are 150 stairs to get anywhere. As soon as I walked into reception, I wondered if I had the right place. Four hours later, management still hadn’t called. They only had the poor receptionist asking me to stay. This is meant to be a 5 star property, and they charge like it is. It was supposed to be the highlight of my trip. Now I’m stranded on a hill with three bags and no way to get off by myself.

I’ve stayed here twice now and love it. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the view is impeccable, and the pool looks out over it. The mini bar is probably the best stocked I’ve ever seen. Staff are friendly and accommodating. It’s a short walk down to the main beach, cafes and restaurants. There’s a staircase as you’d expect, but it’s not too hard and you get used to it. I’ll be back again.

Those hours looking over the view were a highlight, and the bedroom was wonderfully dark and quiet. Villa Asri was the most amazing place to stay. The staff were always just a message away and so helpful, and there were drinks in the fridge you could buy. The views are incredible. It’s up on Jungbutbatu hill, so you do have a few steps down to reach the bottom, as you’d expect. We’ll definitely stay here again next time we visit Lembongan. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.

The location was nice and the room was beautiful. The staff were great, especially when they helped us find excursion options and shared other local information. We had a wonderful time.
