Mendoyo rentals with pool

Staff very friendly

A group of seven adults spent a week at Villa Banyan. The property was fantastic for a big group. Lots of different spaces to relax as a group, couple, or individually. The staff were fabulous and made my birthday week exceptional. Dea invited us to her village temple to celebrate the full moon ceremony where we were warmly welcomed, the trip to Menjangan Island to snorkel was a highlight. Could not recommend more highly.

We have been to Bali dozens of times and always stayed in the traditional tourist areas of Seminyak, Canggu, so though we would give the Northern Beached region a go. WELL, what an extremely amazing choice this was, as the Villa Yudhistira experience was AMAZING. The villa, villa location, villa setting and most of all the local villa staff made this 10 day break one of our best ever. The villa itself is nestled on the beachfront in the Brongbong Village area, not far from Seririt (15 mins by car), Lovina (30 mins) and Singaraja (45 mins). The villa staff are what made the stay exceptional (and we travel a lot) - Budi coordinates any chosen activities and the staff, doing so with a very easy going, approachable manner (very good English). The villa staff had three ladies (Surya, Ewik & Kadek) who cooked all our meals as required, using local ingredients. They were all super friendly, understood our requests and cooked some great local dishes. Not to mention they also quietly kept the villa looking immaculate. There is also Kormang the gardener who daily maintains the pool and spacious garden area. This villa stay would certainly rank up there as the best we have had in Bali, across decades of travel there. We loved it so much this time that on the last day, we rebooked Villa Yudhistira for two weeks in October 2024. This is more than a villa stay - it can be described as a villa stay with local "family", genuinely ensuring that the guests have the optimal Bali experience.

This place, is the place of dreams. The villa and pool is bigger in real life than in the pictures. The staff are beyond wonderful and try to make your time truly special. The place is right on the beach! The sunsets every evening over the beach are amazing. So far, my favourite stay in bali. My recommendation, take a walk, get to know the locals, try to learn their language, the balinese are truly beautiful, genuine and trustworthy people.

Not only this villa is amazing but so are the staff!! Desi and Cissy thank you for taking care of us , you guys are the best!!!! From the cuisine you prepared , keeping our rooms clean and organized , and keeping up with 7 crazy guests🤣. We like to commend Ketut too for always keeping in touch tending to our requests and Kedak our tour guide.
