Dewantara
boutique
village
Resort...
i
don’t
even
know
where
to
start.
Out
of
our
three
week
vacation
on
Bali
this
was
actually
the
worst
place
we
have
gotten
to.
It
took
more
than
two
hours
to
get
here
from
Selemadeg.
And
when
we
arrived
we
were
disappointed
right
away.
There
is
nothing
out
here!
I
mean
we
were
actually
looking
for
nothing.
But
a
beautiful
way
of
nothing.
I
can’t
find
anything
about
this
place
that
is
beautiful.
When
we
arrived
we
were
greeted
by
a
not
so
friendly
Hotelmanager.
First
thing
he
told
us
was
that
breakfast
is
not
included
during
our
stay
and
we
have
to
pay
100k
pP.
We
tried
to
tell
him
that
it
says
in
the
airbnb-description
that
breakfast
is
included.
But
he
didn’t
want
to
understand.
So
we
got
back
with
airbnb
and
they
told
us
that
they
have
this
kind
of
breakfast
trouble
sometimes
and
that
they
will
refund
us
the
costs
for
the
breakfast.
Still,
I
think
100k
for
the
breakfast
is
way
too
much
for
what
we
got.
Ridiculous!
Then
we
were
escorted
to
our
room.
On
our
way
we
didn’t
see
other
guests
so
we
asked
If
we
are
the
only
people
here
at
the
moment.
We
were
told
that
they
were
fully
booked
until
yesterday
and
for
now
we
are
the
only
guests
they
have.
(We
stayed
for
four
nights
and
there
was
no
other
guest
during
our
stay!
Weird,
right?)Normally
I
would
have
been
really
happy
to
have
everything
to
myself
however
this
time
it
was
kind
of
creepy.
This
so-called
Hotelmanager
(=cook
=
barkeeper)
was
evvvvrywhere!
No
privacy
at
all!
Always
sneaking
up
on
you!
So
creepy!
When
we
entered
the
room
we
had
a
quick
tour
a
la
“here
is
your
room....
shower...
safe”.
We
didn’t
get
an
instruction
on
how
to
use
the
safe
so
we
had
to
call
the
manager
again
later
because
we
couldn’t
make
it
work.
After
a
quick
and
not
really
tasty
dinner
we
went
straight
to
bed
hoping
for
the
best
for
the
next
days.
However
the
pillows
were
as
soft
as
rocks
so
I
went
to
the
reception
and
asked
for
some
softer
pillows.
Luckily
they
had
some
other
ones
for
us!!
The
resort
itself
looks
just
like
on
the
pictures.
The
grass
is
cut
perfectly
-
why
shouldn’t
it
be?
-
There
is
nothing
else
to
do
for
the
staff
because
there
are
no
guests
that
need
their
attention.
There
is
a
ping
pong
and
a
billiard
table
which
is
nice.
The
pool
area
is
also
kind
of
nice
(as
long
as
the
manager
leaves
you
alone
and
is
not
watching
every
step
you
take).
But
the
water
is
not
clean.
It’s
kind
of
milky.
But
the
sadest
thing
is
that
there
is
always
a
really
bad
smell
at
the
pool.
We
couldn’t
tell
where
the
smell
came
from.
Maybe
another
(burning)
trash
pile
around
the
resort
or
so.
(Btw!
The
same
smell
that
wakes
you
up
in
the
early
morning)
Really
annoying
if
you
can’t
even
enjoy
the
pool
if
there
is
nothing
else
to
do
here.
The
beach
is
only
a
five
minute
walk
away.
The
sand
is
black
and
there
are
no
waves.
Would
be
perfect
for
swimming
but
there
was
a
lot
of
trash
lying
around.
We
also
found
a
dead
chicken
in
the
sand
and
some
kind
of
factory
only
a
couple
of
100
meters
away.
Lovina
is
the
next
bigger
“city”.
It
takes
about
30
minutes
to
get
there
with
the
scooter.
There
are
a
few
restaurants
down
there
and
some
souvenir
shops.
We
also
saw
some
kind
of
water
park
halfway
to
Lovina
which
might
be
interesting
for
families.
Still
nothing
worth
the
trip
to
the
north
of
Bali.
All
in
all
I
wouldn’t
recommend
the
Dewantara
boutique
village
Resort
neither
Lovina
nor
the
north
of
Bali
itself.
The
rest
of
Bali
has
so
much
more
to
offer
than
this
place.
I
just
can’t
understand
why
people
rated
this
place
with
five
stars?!?!?
I
wish
I
had
chosen
a
different
place
for
our
stay.
This
was
a
waste
of
time!
