My wife and I stayed 5 nights in a 1BR villa for a short, first honeymoon. If you don't read any farther, know that we have stayed at a lot of great hotels all over the world and our time at Alami was easily one of our best experiences. In terms of value for money, it may honestly be the best place we have ever stayed. Pictures cannot do justice to the amazing view and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. If you are looking for unbeatable peace, tranquility, natural beauty, romance, and seclusion, this is absolutely the place for you! We will first mention the only bad things we could possibly say just to make clear this is an unbiased review. First, the water pressure was not great. It was good enough to get the job done, but still a bit weak. This is probably not the resort's fault, it's just the price of being sooo far removed from the city and its infrastructure. As you'll see, the positives more than made up for this small issue. Second, if you are looking for nightlife, shopping or any of the hustle and bustle of city life, this is not the place for you. It's about a 2 hour drive from the airport and a 30 minute drive from any type of businesses and restaurants. But if you want to escape the pollution, congestion, noise and other nuisances of city life and retreat to a stunning oasis of calm and serenity, like we wanted, this is the perfect place to stay! Finally, the dining menu was limited. Don't expect a huge variety of dishes to choose from. This is a small, boutique hotel located far from any suppliers. They cannot reasonably keep a huge amount of ingredients on hand to make a long list of different dishes. That said, like every fine restaurant, the menu was short but every dish they did make, they made to perfection. Seriously, we ate almost every meal at the resort and were so impressed by each and every one. We even asked to meet the chef on our last night so we could thank him in person and tell him what an amazing job he is doing. Attention to small details, creative flavor combinations, excellent use of local ingredients and superb presentation made each dish a special treat. Since we are on to positives, we cannot thank the staff enough for working so hard to make our stay incredible, from start to finish. They were always available and so quick to accommodate our every want and need. We decided spur of the moment we wanted to make a day trip to Nusa Penida and they planned out everything for us, making sure the only thing we had to do was enjoy ourselves. The front office was always available via WhatsApp and every staff member was so happy, friendly, helpful, and polite, we have to assume the resort is under good management. We booked the honeymoon package and they overwhelmed us with flowers, candles and other surprises to really make it memorable. We would highly recommend this package for other honeymooners. The villa and location were fabulous, but the impeccable service really brought our stay to
Excellent
