Security

The villas have 24 hour security. The guards, called Satpam in Indonesian, will help you in any way they can. Be warned they speak only a little English! Should you wish to call out for them, use the expression “Bli” which is also the Balinese expression for getting the attention
We do of course have every confidence in the reliability of our house staff. Nevertheless, we would ask you not to leave valuables lying around as temptation. Each room is equiped with it’s own safe and we urge you to leave valuables in it for safekeeping.
At nighttime, we would advise you to keep your bedroom door locked with the key in the lock, as an extra precaution.

Registration of Foreigners

The law in Indonesia requires registration for all foreigners within 24 hours of arrival. Our Staff will request your passports on arrival to complete this formality. The passport will be returned to you straight after the registration within the same day. We understand that you may not feel comfortable handling over your passport but by the law we are required to follow these procedures. Please rest assured that your precious documents will be looked after and returned after a short time. This procedure is for your own safety and should anything happen requiring an insurance claim you need to have the corresponding registration card that we will collect on your behalf.

Shopping

Shopping is great fun in Bali and you should in most cases bargain. As in any tourist destination however, there are sharks aplenty so be careful on quality and price!
Internet

Telephone

To dial local numbers from the landline, dial the number straight without the “0361? prefix. To dial local numbers from a mobile, you will need to dial 0361 in front of the number. Our experience has been that most guests prefer to use their own mobile phones for international calls. The IDD prefix from Indonesia is 001.
