WOW!!! That's the best word I can come up with to describe how my husband and I feel about our ENTIRE stay at Kayumanis in Nusa Dua. From the beginning (I started planning for our honeymoon back in January 2005) the staff at Kayumanis were beyond gracious, hospitable and accomodating, they were downright some of the nicest people I have ever met. Yola, who was the first person I dealt with when planning for our trip to Kayumanis was beyond accomodating of our financial needs and offered us options that were realistic but still nice. She was prompt in responding to each and every email I sent, especially after the bombings in fall of 2005. My husband and I stayed in the honeymoon suite for 6 nights/7days at the end of December 2005. The weather was slightly cloudy but it was welcome considering the heat without the clouds. The staff from the moment we arrived made sure we had everything we wanted. We ate massive lobsters for dinner, saw a temple dance, went to Ubud, Jimbaran, and Kuta. A guide from the hotel was with us at all times. We are fairly outgoing people so we had a great time with the staff and felt like we were with friends than with strangers. The grounds are quiet and peaceful and remote, just what we wanted after a hectic wedding. We were not impressed with Kuta, in fact we actually found it to be a tourist trap. The breakfast in the mornings is beyond impressive. We ate brkfst every morning in the villa and were able to order as many items from the menu as we wanted for the same price and it was delicious. We took advantage of the romantic and barbecue dinners served for two in your villa and they were both well worth the extra charge. One day we had a craving to go rent a movie and even that was arranged and the hotel took care of it for us. We were slightly weary that all the extra services we seemed to be getting were going to add up to a pretty penny on our final bill. Low and behold, we were charged properly and according to the basic services provided. The Balinese (or perhaps the staff at Nusa Dua) are incredibly honest, caring, thoughtful, generous people. My husband and I were literally in heaven for 7 days and had no desire to return to the real world. There is so much that I am still leaving out and even more that I can not express properly. If you want an incredible experience at a price that won't break the bank Kayumanis will not disappoint, not in the slightest!
