Bali's BEST Double Six Beach Villa: 2BR Paradise Awaits!
Bali's BEST Double Six Beach Villa: 2BR Paradise Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Bali's BEST Double Six Beach Villa: 2BR Paradise Awaits! And let me tell you, this review isn't going to be some sterile, robotic recitation of features. We're going FULL-BLOWN HUMAN HERE. Prepare for some opinions, some rambling, and maybe a few tears of joy (or frustration, who knows!).
Let's start with the basics, shall we?
Accessibility: Does it work for everyone?
Okay, look, I'm not going to lie. Accessibility is crucial, and this is where we gotta get real. They say they have "Facilities for disabled guests," which is good, but specifics on how accessible it is… less clear. Elevators are mentioned, which is a huge plus. But, and this is a big BUT, I’d still call them and quiz them thoroughly if accessibility is a priority for you. Don't just take their word for it. Demand specifics. Level access? Ramps? Grab bars in the bathrooms? Ask. Ask. Ask.
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: NO specific call out, so proceed with caution. Again, CALL and confirm.
Wheelchair accessible: See above. Don't assume ANYTHING. Confirm.
The Digital Delights (Internet Access, Wi-Fi and such)
Alright, let's get to what really matters in this digital age: staying connected.
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! Finally! No more scrambling for signal, or having to pay extra for some patchy connection.
- Internet access, Internet [LAN], Internet services, Wi-Fi in public areas: Sounds like they've got you covered. Good.
- Wi-Fi for special events: Excellent! This is a big stress reliever.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax, and Basically Just Live a Little
This is where this villa should shine… and from the looks of it, it kind of does.
- Body scrub, Body wrap: Oh, HELL YES. Sign me up. The tension is already melting away just thinking about it.
- Fitness center, Gym/fitness: Gotta work off all those delicious cocktails SOMEHOW, right?
- Foot bath: Luxury. Pure, unadulterated luxury.
- Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom: Okay, stop it. I'm already booking. This is the definition of relaxation. You can basically live in the spa.
- Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]: Essential. You're in Bali! You must have a pool. Hopefully, the view from the pool is as spectacular as they claim!
Okay, I need to talk about this pool with a view. I mean, come on. This is Bali. It better have a freaking incredible view. Picture this: you, floating in the crystal-clear water, cocktail in hand, watching the sunset paint the sky with fiery hues. Absolute bliss. If the view isn't amazing, I'm going to be seriously disappointed. Because come on, you're paying for the experience, not just a hole in the ground with water.
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Let's Be Real, This is 2024
This is where things get serious. Cleanliness is no longer a luxury; it's an expectation.
- Anti-viral cleaning products, Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification: Okay. That's a lot of reassuring words. They sound like they take hygiene seriously.
- Individually-wrapped food options: Excellent. Less food sharing, less risk.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter: Good. But are they enforcing it? This is the key question.
- Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays: Okay, they are definitely ticking the boxes here. Hopefully, they actually follow through.
- Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items: Again, good. But observe when you get there. Are they actually doing it?
- Shared stationery removed: Smart.
- Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment: Great.
- Room Sanitization Opt-Out…? Okay, you can OPT OUT of room sanitization. I respect that - But a bit confused. Makes sense, but also… why wouldn't you want it?
- Doctor/nurse on call: Very important. Peace of mind is priceless.
- Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service: These are convenient, right until they're not (ever spilled eggs on the best white shirt you own?)… still an excellent feature.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Because You're on Vacation!
This is where my stomach starts rumbling.
- A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant: Okay, that's an impressive list! Seriously, they've got everything. From your morning coffee to midnight snacks.
I NEED to know if they really pull off that poolside bar though. I'm picturing myself, lounging by the pool, a fruity cocktail in hand, and the sun beating down. That's the dream. If the cocktails are crap or the service is slow, though, I'm going to be in a bad mood. We're talking tantrum bad mood.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Extras That Make a Big Difference
This is where we get into the nitty-gritty that can make or break your stay.
- Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center: Okay, a pretty comprehensive list. Makes it easy to get work done, if you're that kind of person. (I'm trying to escape work, personally.)
- Contactless check-in/out: YES. Saves time, saves hassle. Big thumbs up.
- Daily housekeeping: Essential. A clean room is a happy room.
- Food delivery: Genius. Because sometimes you just want to stay in your luxurious villa and eat pizza.
- Concierge: A good concierge can be your best friend. They can sort out everything from tours to restaurant reservations.
- Smoking area: Important for smokers
For the Kids: Family Fun (or at least, a break from 'em)
- Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal: If you're traveling with the little ones, this is fantastic! A babysitter is your sanity saviour. Kids meals are always a win!

- CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private], Couple's room, Exterior corridor, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Hotel chain, Non-smoking rooms, Pets allowed unavailable*: These are important, especially in a new location
- Front desk [24-hour]: Very important. If something goes wrong (and it always does!), you need someone there.
- Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms: That's another very important aspect to consider.
"Rooms" for the win
Okay, let's break down what's actually in those rooms – and if they are actually worth it.
- **Additional toilet, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly curated travel brochure. This is Bali, baby – messy, beautiful, and about to redefine your definition of "relaxing." We're aiming for a two-bedroom villa near Double Six Beach, 'cause who needs a hotel room when you can have your own little slice of paradise? Oh, and I'm probably gonna ramble. A lot. Deal with it.
Bali Bliss (and Blunders): A Messy Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and Immediate Regret (Just Kidding… Mostly)
- Morning (Around 6:00 AM - Let's be honest, thanks to jet lag, it'll be WAY earlier): LAND. Ugh, airports. I hate them, but I love where they take me. Quick customs dance – hoping I don't accidentally bring back a kilo of something questionable. After a long flight and a taxi ride, We'll arrive at our villa (hopefully looking better than it did on the website). Immediate reaction? The pool… drools. The bedrooms? Spacious. The aircon? Thank GOD.
- Mid-morning (Whenever the jet lag allows): Unpack (or, let's be real, haphazardly shove clothes into drawers). Stroll around the villa, maybe a little too excited. I mean, look at this place! Okay, deep breaths. Realize I haven't eaten since the pre-flight snack.
- Lunch (Whenever I stop staring at the pool): Find some warung a local eatery. Nasi goreng and a Bintang, because when in Rome… or, you know, Bali. The food is incredible, but I'll probably spill some on myself. It's bound to happen.
- Afternoon (Post-Nasi Goreng Coma): Double Six Beach. Oh, the beach! This is what we came for! Sunscreen application attempt (it always feels like an Olympic sport). A leisurely stroll along the sand, taking it all in. I will probably get sand in places that are biologically questionable. Oh, and I'll absolutely get ripped off by a beach vendor. Every. Single. Time. But hey, they are trying to make a living.
- Evening (Sunset, Cocktails Required): Witness the glorious sunset. This is why you travel, right? That perfect moment where the sky explodes with colour, and all your worries melt away. (Until you realize you've forgotten your wallet in the villa. Sigh.) Order cocktails at a beach bar. I'll probably spend way too much than I should.
Day 2: Culture Shock (in a Good Way) and Surfboard Humiliation
- Morning (Wake up to the sounds of Bali – probably a rooster and some distant motorbikes): I'm going to attempt yoga at the villa. I will probably fall over. A lot. Feel bad about not being "zen".
- Breakfast (Villa-Made, Attempt Number One): Make my own breakfast. Probably burn the toast. Swear I'm going to be so much better at this by the end of the trip.
- Late morning: Uluwatu Temple & Kecak Dance I will be respectful, of course, but the view from Uluwatu is breathtaking. And then the Kecak dance, the energy is intoxicating, even if I'm secretly hoping someone trips and falls into a ravine.
- Afternoon (Surf's Up (For Total Failure)): Head to surf lessons near Double Six. Okay, confession time: I am not a surfer. I'm more of a "sit on the beach and judge" kind of person. But, hey, "when in Rome"… right? Expect me to spend most of the time getting pummeled by waves and somehow swallowed by the ocean.
- Evening (Post-Surf Trauma): Dinner at a local restaurant. I'm feeling brave, so I'm going to be ordering something with shrimp. Maybe I'll finally learn to surf… or just accept my destiny as a beach bum with a slightly sunburned nose.
Day 3: The Spiritual Me (Maybe? Probably Not)
- Morning: Coffee, then exploring around the villa.
- Late morning: Visit a local market somewhere. Maybe I get lost.
- Afternoon: I'm going to attempt visiting a temple somewhere. I'm a bit skeptical. It's a moment to reflect (or Instagram, or whatever).
- Evening: I'm going to eat more delicious food, probably go back somewhere in my area.
Day 4: Luxury, Lovely Ladies, and Last-Minute Panic
- Morning: Spa Day. I need it. Deep tissue massage, facial, the works.
- Late Morning: I will go shopping for souvenirs.
- Afternoon: Lunch somewhere.
- Evening: Pack. Yep, the dreaded moment.
Day 5: Airport, Goodbye Bali, See You Soon (Hopefully)
- Morning: Airport. Sad face. Stare at the ocean one last time. Promise to come back.
- Lunch: Plane food (ugh).
- Afternoon: Back to reality.
Important Considerations (and Rantings):
- Mosquitoes: They bite. Bring repellent. Seriously. They are relentless.
- Traffic: Bali traffic is a beast. Be prepared for delays. Embrace the chaos.
- Bargaining: Bargain. But be respectful.
- Sunscreen: Reapply. Constantly. I'm not kidding.
- Learn a few basic Indonesian phrases: "Terima kasih" (thank you) and "permisi" (excuse me) go a long way.
- Embrace the Unexpected: Things will go wrong. Flights will be delayed. You will spill something on yourself. That's part of the adventure. Laugh it off. And maybe stock up on travel insurance. Just in case.
Okay, that's my semi-coherent, likely inaccurate, and definitely overly-enthusiastic Bali plan. It's a guideline, a suggestion, a starting point. Feel free to throw it all away. Just remember to relax, embrace the chaos, and have a damn good time. See ya there! (Maybe… if I don't get lost first.)
Unbelievable Malacca Homestay: NurQaseh D'Savoy Awaits!
Bali's BEST Double Six Beach Villa: 2BR Paradise Awaits! - (Ask Me Anything... Seriously)
Is this place *really* as good as the pictures? Because, let's be real, Instagram lies.
Okay, okay, you're right to be skeptical. *I* was skeptical. I mean, the photos? Perfection. White sand, turquoise water, infinity pool... it was practically begging to be Photoshopped. But, and this is a HUGE but, IT’S EVEN BETTER. Seriously. No offense to whoever’s editing those pics, but the real deal? The colors are *vibrant*. The air smells of salt and frangipani. The pool? Feels like it has actual *magic* properties. I spent, I kid you not, three straight hours floating in that thing on my first day. My skin was pruney, but my soul? Refreshed. The only "photoshop" I think might happen, is the urge to add a filter to the reality to keep looking at it!
What's the actual layout like? Two bedrooms, yeah? Spill the deets on the space.
Alright, geometry time! It's two bedrooms, yes. And here’s the thing, they're not these cramped little afterthoughts. One is HUGE, with a massive bed that practically swallows you whole. I accidentally slept through a sunrise, so that gives it a testament of my sleep. The other is a bit cozier, but still plenty spacious. Both have crazy-good bathrooms (think rainfall showers, the whole shebang). The living area is open-plan, which is genius. It flows seamlessly into the kitchen and the outdoor area, which, spoiler alert, includes the infinity pool. The villa is designed in this “indoor-outdoor” style, which makes it feel huge and lets you feel the sun on your face while you have your morning coffee. The only downside… you might want to actually get out and *do* things. It makes it hard to leave!
Food, glorious food! How’s the kitchen situation? Can I cook? (Or, more importantly, can I *get* food?!)
Okay, the kitchen: fully equipped. I’m talking all the things! But let’s be honest, I only used it for making toast. I am no Michelin star Chef, and I’m on *holiday*. Luckily, there are a million amazing restaurants nearby. Seriously, you walk out the door and BAM! Deliciousness. There's everything from super-fancy fine dining to incredible, authentic warungs (local restaurants) that are *dirt cheap* and unbelievably good. However, if you really feel like cooking, there’s a supermarket nearby, and you *can* get a chef to the villa prepared to cook. I did think about it, but I decided that the convenience of eating out was more compelling. It's your call, though. The fridge can be filled with all of your favorite drinks, and for a small extra charge, you can arrange for the villa to be stocked before your arrival for that ultimate first-day relaxation.
Beach access? How close is it? Is it a good beach? Spill the tea!
Oh. My. God. The beach. Double Six Beach itself is *right there*. Like, you walk out of the villa, through the garden, and you're *on* the sand. It's not a secret, hidden cove type of deal, it's busy with people, and it's vibrant. The waves are great for surfing, but there are calmer areas for swimming and sunbathing. It's the kind of beach where you can stroll along collecting seashells and bumping into beach bars, or just collapse on a sun lounger with a cocktail and a good book. It's bliss. Actually, I spent so many hours on that beach, I'm pretty sure I developed a slight tan-line perma-grin. Be prepared for a bit of salesmanship, but hey, it’s part of the charm. And the sunsets? Forget about it. Prepare to be completely, utterly, utterly Instagram-obsessed.
Service & Staff? Are they helicoptering over you? Or is it more... private?
The staff were amazing! Super friendly and helpful, but not at all intrusive. They're there to make your life easier, for sure. Daily housekeeping, which is a *godsend* because, let's be real, I'm terrible at keeping a place tidy when I'm on vacation. They were happy to help with everything – arranging transport, booking tours, giving recommendations. The security was reassuring. It’s a good balance of feeling taken care of without feeling *watched*. I remember once I locked myself out on the terrace (don’t ask!), and within minutes, someone was there to let me back in. Lifesavers, honestly. I will also mention that I'm awkward and hate bothering people, if they are too eager it makes me twitch. Not here. Discreet and lovely is the best description!
Okay, hit me with the downsides. What's the *catch*? Nothing’s perfect, right?
Alright, here's the honest truth. NOTHING IS PERFECT. First, it's near a popular area! So, expect some noise especially in the evenings – you can hear music from the beach clubs and sometimes traffic noise. Not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of if you’re an early riser or particularly sensitive to noise. You’ll probably want to wear earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. And the price is...well, it's an investment. You're paying for luxury, and it's worth it, in my (very biased) opinion. Also, the Wi-Fi wasn’t always *lightning fast*. I mean, it was fine for streaming and basic stuff, but if you're a serious workaholic, maybe have a backup plan. Oh! And the location is excellent, but there can be traffic getting around. So, factor that in when planning your days. But honestly, these are tiny niggles. TINY.
Would you go back? Like, right now? Seriously considering booking...
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'd go back *in a heartbeat*. In fact, I'm already trying to figure out how soon I can possibly return. It's genuinely a slice of paradise. It’s one of those places that stays with you long after you’ve left. The feeling of waking up to that view, the sound of the waves, the taste of the food… it’s all just… perfect. Do it. Book it. You won't regret it. Book it NOW. Seriously. Before *I* book it again and beat you to it.
Okay, real talk: Things you WISH you'd known *before* you went??
Okay, deep breath. First, pack *more* sunscreen. Seriously. And reapply it religiously because I got *burned*. Second, bring a universal adapter for your electronics. Third, the mosquito situation during the evenings can be slightlyNomad Hotel Search
