I'm in the process of confirming our stay for 2-7 Jan in a 2-BR pool open-living villa. I've just been reading some of the reviews on Trip Advisor about Villa Coco and felt that I just had to send an email to say I hope that you don't get too disappointed by the negative reviews. Personally, I think the people that write the negative reviews are probably the kind of people that are just basically unhappy individuals and need to complain about most everything in their lives. We - my wife and two children - have stayed at Villa Coco a number of times over the years, always in a 2 BR garden villa. I can say without exception that we've just had a ball from the moment we walked into the villa, and we always hated to take that long 'last' walk down to the front desk to check out. You've got a jewel of a place, and much of the beauty is that it is what is considered as "5-star" today - which usually translates into colorless, sterile, humorless, textureless. In our minds, the Villa Coco is on par - as far as Balinese experience - with one of our other favorite places, Poppie's Cottages in Kuta. One of the biggest assets VC has - and it has many - is its staff - capable, friendly, warm, welcoming, helpful - genuine is the word. But it's hard to beat the feeling of walking into our own private world after a day of beaching, to not worry about tracking a bit of sand in with us, to shower in the open-air bathroom, and just relax listening to the sounds coming into the villa, but still being isolated from them. Don't let anyone discourage you - you've got a superb facility, stay the way you are, you're doing a great job!

Dear Villa Coco
Just a short note to express our thanks for a wonderful holiday staying at your Villa's. The rooms were lovely and our small children had a great time playing in the rooms and swimming in the gorgeous pool.as did us grown-ups! It certainly was a relief to come back to Villa Coco after our journeys around Bali, so relaxing and peaceful. Great Location as well- the wife, kids and I walked to the local beach every night for dinner in a different restaurant each time and they were all good! So much action and life down at the beach and what a sunset! I would thoroughly recommend your Villa's to anybody. I wish you luck and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

After reading varying reviews I was a little apprehensive about Villa Coco, however as soon as we arrived at midnight I new we had chosen the right place for us. Staff were very attentive, our one bedroom villa was great, it was big enough to have a game of cricket in the gardens (C5). It was very quiet, and close to everything. The lane way into the Villa was not an issue, (it is Bali), we often came back late at night and the lane was well lit. It is so nice being able to shop a few minutes away and be in the hussel and bussel of the streets and came back to a lovely quiet peacful villa. Although we didnt get the chance to have happy hour at the community pool, there was always a group of holiday makers having lots of fun. I think this is the uniqueness of these villas, as there is a place to meet other guests around the pool and bar, and then you have your own private little piece of paradise. Will definately stay again.

First of all to the negative reviews about Villa Coco. Get your heads out of your bums!!!!!!
This is a beautiful place to stay in Bali. Every place has it's little problems if you look hard enough or allow them to bother you. Silly complaints about too many ants in the outdoor tropical garden living areas make me shake my head !!!!! Think about where you are !!!!!!
Of course you'll have to share your experience with some sort of creatures in a place like Bali. It's part and parcel of the whole thing.
Now to how much we enjoyed our stay. We stayed in a 2 bedroom pool villa (C2).
The villa was very spacious and well appointed. The pool was beutiful and refreshing after a hot walk through the shopping district less than five minutes walk away. The bedrooms are vary spacious and modern with great outdoor bathrooms and showers.
We've stayed in Villa's in Bali before but none have serviced the rooms like you are in a hotel. Breakfast is served to you in your own Villa and the staff even come back later and clean everything up!!!!!!! then make your bed and change the bed linen every third day with chocy's on the pillow !!!!!!!!!! What more could you ask for ???? The staff are extremely pleasent and attentive, happy to help in any way they can. Even though you are only five minutes walk from the shopping district of Legian/Seminyak it is very quiet.
The only downside being the disco down on the beach that you might just hear early in the morning on the weekends. The slight hum of the air con drowns most of it out though. We will definately stay at Villa Coco again and I strongly recommend it !!!!!!

I have now been coming to Villa Coco for over fifteen years. I am making an effort to write this short note to make special mention of our stay over the years. Having been an owner/operator of hospitality venues for many years, I hope you appreciate when saying how wonderful your staff are. They are Villa Coco and the reason we return. I believe you are extremely fortunate to have such wonderful staff and hope you will pass on the essence of this note.

Just a quick note to thank you all at Villa Coco for a lovely holiday in Bali. We thoroughly enjoyed staying with you, we stayed in the 1 bedroom pool villa, it was gorgeous, such a wonderful, quiet haven to come home to after the business and hustle and bustle of the streets of Bali. We had our holiday to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and loved every minute there. The meals we stayed in for were great. Wayan and Arya and all the desk staff were so lovely, we miss them. Thanks again, we will be back one day.

Hi Maria and staff at Villa Coco,
Just thought I would drop you an email to let you know that we had a fantastic time in Bali. The staff at Villa Coco were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble.
The night of my birthday was great, especially with the entertainment that Claire organised, Ketut working the bar on his day off and the fabulous food from the kitchen.
Thank you to all the other staff that contributed during our stay. Hopefully we will be back again soon.
I will be telling all my friends to come and stay especially after seeing the renovated Villas.
Bless you all

I would just like to say a big thankyou to you and your staff at the Villa Coco. I did not know what to expect but when we arrived I was pleasantly surprised with
everything the Villas had to offer.
Our One bedroom Garden villa was perfect and next time I will try the one bedroom Pool. The villa had everything you could want and some.
Your staff were fantastic and nothing was ever too much trouble.
The Villa Coco is far enough away from the noise yet close if you want it to be.
Your helpful hints are perfect especially if you were a first timer to Bali.
Your last night suggestion for dinner restaurant was just perfect and what we wanted - traditional Balinese cooking at its best.
I will be recommending Villa Coco to everyone for that Bali holiday with a difference.
I have done the big resorts and this is to me a much better way to feel Bali and in all honesty at times i felt like we were the only ones there.
Thanks once again to everyone for making our last 4 days of Holiday fantastic and enjoyable
Kind regards

Just spent one week in Villa Coco and thoroughly enjoyed the time. It exceeded our expectations. It is like an oasis. We stayed in a garden villa and loved the authentic design and appointments. The bottom floor living area is open style and huge creating a very holiday feel and the upstairs bedroom is air conditioned, great bed and ensuite! The garden bathroom and shower is fantastic after being out walking, swimming, surfing, shopping or whatever. The staff were extremely helpful and busy making things as pleasant as possible. We ate breakfast every day in the villa and also a few dinners and the food was very good and service prompt. Can't say enough... thankyou Villa Coco.

Hi there! The Kernan Family here. Thank you so much for making the Villa Coco leg of our month in Bali so pleasurable and relaxing. We'd like to let you know in writing that your staff are absolutely wonderful! Our family has been to Bali, Lembongan, and Lombok many times before over the years and have stayed in many different styles of accommodation.
The 'Big Villa' is awesome! We need to make special mention of your staff, in particular: Ketut, at the main pool (an absolute 'gem', adored by our kids)
Adi...what a gorgeous, humble man. A joy to have look after our villa
Ayu...a beautiful girl, inside and out.whose hugs when we left for the airport made our kids cry!
Arya and Agus...both on the front desk. Perfect front -line people.
Every request of ours was performed with the utmost efficiency, with warmth and a smile.
Claire...Thank you for making sure we could get the NRL Grand Final in our big villa. One-sided result, but what a civilized way to do it!
Can't thank you enough for a truly relaxing holiday. Villa Coco is nicely situated far enough away (but close enough to) the 'madness of Kuta' and a million miles away from the 'frantic pace of life in Australia!!'
Thanks again, Villa Coco staff for being a huge part of our recent Bali holiday that was simply wonderful.

Hi Maria, Claire and all the staff,
Just a quick note to say a big Thank You for making our holiday great.
Loved you all and your sunny dispositions, it made everything else going on around us not so important.... Claire and Ketut thanks for helping with my 40th birthday, it is one I wont forget. Hope to be back very soon...
Kind Regards

We just spent 8 days in the four bedroom villa and this was the best value we have had on a holiday. The villa is so spacious and so private. There was building works happening but we could only hear it now and again and it did not bother us. This villa was truly fabulous and good value for the $$$$. We will be back again next year.
Dear Villa Coco Staff,
We would just like to thank all of you personally for making our stay so enjoyable. It has been the best place we have stayed on our trip to Bali. Thanks once again and we hope to see you in the future.

I would firstly like to thank-you all for the wonderful holiday we had with you all. You all did so much for us and went out of your way to make our holiday the great success it was. I will always remember my first overseas trip, with great fondness and grateful to you all for showing me how beautiful and special the Balinese people are.
Planning our holiday was such a special achievement in my life, and your kindness and thoughtfulness I will always remember.

We had a wonderful 10 days at Villa Coco. Your staff are exceptionally friendly. Breakfast was great. Service has been excellent. If we come back to Bali we will stay here and recommend it to ours friends.
John and Maryanne Hill, Melbourne, November 07
I have stayed at Villa Coco on several occasions and stay there because of its location. The staff are all nice and at all times helpful. Nearby are good restaurants, the beach, great nightclubs and lots and lots of good shops.
Michelle Bridges, Perth W.A, August 07
We had a great time staying at Villa Coco...it is close to the beach, nightlife, restaurants and good shopping. They have a variety of accomodation starting from grass hut style (budget) to a one and two bedroom pool villa. The 4 bedroom villa is very large and is excellent for friends and family holidays. I will stay there again and for the price it is good value and so close to everything. The staff are also fantastic. |
