Travel Note

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 cost to you is Rp 30.000, – per passport. 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.

Babysitters

Whilst our staffs are not trained babysitters, they are extremely child-friendly and one of the girls is normally available to baby-sit. Please notify the Manager in advance should you need a babysitter. You will be charged a small overtime fee for late-night babysitting.

Massage Service

TV and DVD Movies & Series

The villa is installed with cable TV which carries all the major international cable channels. Reception is available only in the TV area. DVD Movies & Series is providing in wide range of choice. We maintain a supply in the villas and would be grateful if the stock remains in place!

Voltage and Electricity

Bali runs on a 220 volt system. You should note that the grid is subject to power weakness during peak times (6pm to 10pm) and some types of electrical equipment may not run at the reduced voltage level experienced during this time. We are one of the very few private villa compounds to have full back-up generator capacity; this can be switched on only with a total power failure from the grid. It takes around 4 – 5 minutes for the generator to kick in. Be sure to unplug sensitive electrical equipment when not in use and you should be aware that the grid is prone to power surges, as is the villa compound when the generator is used. You will find voltage surge protection boxes throughout the villas and we urge you to use these for sensitive electrical equipment.

Insect & Precautions

Mosquito coils are provided at the Villa for your convenience and are lit every early evening in the outside living areas. These coils should help very much to keep the majority of the pests away. Your room will be sprayed before bedtime or when you leave the villa. We recommend you close your bedroom and bathroom doors before leaving to prevent insect’s entering. A can of insect spray is provided in each room.

There is a shallow area around the Jacuzzi but one end of the pool has a 1.5 – 2.0 meter depth. “Please note that usage of the pool is entirely at your own risk and there is no lifeguard on duty”. The house staff on duty may be unable to swim! At night the pool lights and filter are switched off at 22.00, or by your request.

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. The Manager controls a safety deposit box and we urge you to leave valuables with us for safekeeping.
