Gending Kedis Luxury Villas & Spa Estate

Fabulous little gem in Jimbaran! Absolutely loved our stay and the staff were super nice and accommodating with late check in and late checkout. They will also help with luggage if you need. The bedrooms are huge we stayed in Tjinglar room (we saw the other two bedroom villas but this was the best one for views although it’s a few stairs to deal with). We (two couples) stayed for two weeks and loved it. The beds all have mosquito nets but important not to let them in the rooms if you can help it (although the service staff do come to give rooms a quick bug spray every night). You’ll get to see (and maybe hear!) some really cute Tokay geckos. View is incredible the forest right next to villas everything was green (travelled in mid December so early-ish rainy season). Some days were rainy but we got quite a few sun days and just cloudy days without rain and weather was not hot just warm and a bit humid. The whole place is tucked down a lane away from traffic and noise so it’s really quiet (except for the geckos outside but they aren’t so bad). You do need to get a Grab / Taxi to go places but it’s cheap and not very far from restaurants and the beach market areas. Grab can deliver food from most places so that plus the Villa restaurant for breakfast there’s really no reason to leave the place. They even handle the laundry service for us (for a fee) and the rooms were turned in / cleaned every day. One minor issue with the pool was fixed same/next day. Restaurant is very nice. Recommend the hotel put stairs in the pool as it can be tricky to get out if you’re like us and not super fit haha. Tips: - mosquito repellent is a must! Look for Soffell brand it’s good one and sold in most convenience stores - it’s nice to tip service workers they are usually on lower salaries so it is appreciated - ask for villas at the top level if you aren’t ok with stairs. The lower villas have better views but there are a few outdoor stairs to contend with. Was fine for us we loved a little extra workout but we are in our 30s. - breakfast is amazing try the Bubur Ayam - don’t swim at Jimbaran beaches it’s full of trash - Melasti Beach (30min taxi away) was stunning and clean and White Rock Beach Club is a must there

Great hotel, nice staff. Will be glad to come back here.

Okay..staffs are trying their best. The villa are getting old and since it is considered as generous space in villa, maintaining it a challenge to them I reckoned. One night all villas were totally out of water (shower/tap/toilet etc), it was a tough night to go through
