We wanted a few days in the rice paddies of Bali before traveling onward to a different island and chose Sideman.
After a long taxi ride from the airport we arrived at this hotel late at night and were immediately shown to our room by very courteous staff.
The room was very nice with a large netted bed and very large deck. The netting was for effect as there were not mosquitoes or indeed any insects, as some on this site have said there were. Having the room a story in the air probably helped with that.
The rice paddies started just outside the room and continued about as far as we could see in the bowl shaped hillside. As pretty location as there could be. the grounds were just a lovely. Flowering shrubs
We had included breakfast each morning which was ok but getting used to the Bali coffee was a chore.
There are restaurants outside the hotel on the quiet lane way the hotel sits on so we ate at those. Good staffing but as they say, nobody ever accused the Indonesians of knowing how to cook. On the plus side you'll lose weight.
If you want a better experience than the usual Bali experience then go here and stay at this hotel, you'll enjoy it.More
