Escape to Paradise: Besso Villa, Your Bali Dream Awaits

Escape to Paradise: Besso Villa - My Bali Dream (Almost!)

Okay, so, Besso Villa. Bali. Dreamy, right? That’s what the brochure promised. And, you know, mostly delivered. Let’s dive in. I'm gonna be brutally honest here; expect some ramblings, okay? This isn't a robotic review, it's my experience.

Accessibility: The Good, The Bad, and the Staircase That Nearly Broke Me.

Alright, let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way. Accessibility. The website claimed it was good. Wheelchair accessible? Hmm. Well, there was an elevator, which was great, and they have facilities for disabled guests. Check. But, and this is a big but, the paths leading to the villas weren’t exactly smooth sailing. Some were a bit… hilly. And let me tell you, trying to maneuver a wheelchair, or even just elderly knees, up some of those inclines in the Bali heat… whew! It's not flat, that's for sure! They have a ramp at the entrance, but honestly, I saw more steps than I anticipated. Definitely call ahead and confirm the specifics if accessibility is a major concern.

Other stuff in the accessibility section: Airport transfer – convenient but a bit pricey. Car park [free of charge] and valet parking are a bonus, especially with the Bali traffic craziness.

Internet: Wi-Fi Paradise, or Lag-tastic Inferno?

Okay, so the Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! was a massive selling point. And for the most part, it lived up to the hype. In my villa, the Internet access – wireless was solid enough to stream some movies. But there were moments where the Wi-Fi in the Wi-Fi in public areas was glacial. You know, that dreaded buffering circle of doom. Frustrating when you’re trying to upload that Insta-worthy sunset pic. And what happened when I tried to use the Internet [LAN]? Let's just say, I spent more time troubleshooting than actually working. But hey, Internet services are offered, so points for trying, right?

Cleanliness and Safety: Germaphobe Heaven (Mostly)

Listen, I'm not a hardcore germaphobe, but after the year we've had, seeing anti-viral cleaning products and stuff like daily disinfection in common areas gave me a good feeling. They actually do a good job in Room sanitization between stays, and rooms sanitized between stays. The Staff trained in safety protocol seemed genuinely committed. Also, they had hand sanitizers everywhere and were super diligent about masks. I honestly felt pretty safe, considering the circumstances. I did appreciate the safe dining setup and the fact they had individually-wrapped food options.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: From Gourmet to… Slightly Underwhelming

Okay, the food. This is where things got a little… mixed. They offer a huge amount of food options. I mean, they have it all! I went for the Asian breakfast. I mean, it's Bali, right? It was… okay. Not the best I've had, and not the worst. I'd recommend trying other options like the Breakfast [buffet]. They also have a poolside bar, restaurants and restaurants.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Days (and a Sauna That Nearly Cooked Me)

Okay, the spa. The spa was worth it! It was pretty epic, to be honest. I went the whole Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom. It was an experience. I love a good Body scrub and Body wrap, and they had them. The massage was divine, and the foot bath was just what I needed after a long day of exploring. I spent a good amount of time relaxing near the swimming pool [outdoor].

Swimming pool, Pool with view. The pool was great, and the view really was something, it was nice to see. The Fitness center, Gym/fitness? Yeah, I saw it. I didn't use it. On vacation, come on!

Services & Conveniences: The Little Things Make a Difference

Okay, let’s talk about the perks. Air conditioning in public area? Essential. Concierge? Super helpful, especially for booking tours and dealing with the occasional lost luggage drama. Daily housekeeping kept the place sparkling. Laundry service – a godsend. Room service [24-hour] – perfect for midnight snack cravings. The gift/souvenir shop was convenient, but a tad overpriced. Cash withdrawal was handy.

For the Kids: Family Bliss or Meltdown Central?

I am not a parent, so I'm speaking purely from observation. Family/child friendly is what the brochure promised. They had Babysitting service, Kids facilities and Kids meal. If this is what you're looking for, you're in luck!

Rooms: My Villa, My Castle (Almost)

My non-smoking villa was lovely. Air conditioning was top-notch (essential!). The blackout curtains were perfect for sleeping in after a late night. The complimentary tea was a nice touch. Free bottled water was always appreciated, especially in the heat. The private bathroom was clean and the shower had great water pressure. Wake-up service worked perfectly when I needed it. The seating area, sofa, and extra long bed made it feel luxurious. And I was a big fan of the desk, I was able to get some work done (some). I'm not a massive fan of the carpeting. The whole place does have a distinct "hotel" smell to it, but hey.

Getting Around: Navigating Paradise's Roads

Taxi service: readily available, but always negotiate the price! Car park [on-site] was great. Bicycle parking was a nice touch – great for exploring the local area. If you like getting around by car, you're in luck!

The Verdict: Besso Villa - Should You Go?

Okay, so. Besso Villa? It's not perfect. But it's pretty damn good. The pros – the spa, the service, the general vibe – definitely outweigh the cons. And hey, even the imperfections were part of the adventure! If you want a luxurious Bali escape, with a few quirks, then ABSOLUTELY. Book it.

Besso Villa by Betterplace Bali Indonesia

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is ME, in Besso Villa, and trust me, things are already spiraling gloriously. Here we go, a chaotic chronicle of potential bliss (and utter disaster) in the heart of Bali.

Besso Villa Blues & Bliss: A Week of Questionable Choices & Delicious Decisions (and Possibly Spilled Cocktails)

Day 1: Arrival & The Illusion of Control (aka, I Think I Packed Too Many Bikinis)

Morning (7:00 AM -ish): Woke up in my actual bed (thank god for not missing my alarm!), and this is important because who doesn't have those moments. Airplane! Flight was fine, but I spent the whole time wondering if I'd remembered to turn off my straightener. (Spoiler Alert: I probably didn’t. But hey, FIRE! Less stress, more adventure, am I right?) The flight had a crying baby, but I didn't mind.
Mid-Morning (11:00 AM): Landed in Denpasar, sweating like a pig in a sauna. Bali hits you like a warm, fragrant (and humid) hug. Immigration was a breeze (thank you, angels of travel!).
Afternoon (1:00 PM): The Besso Villa driver (bless him, he’s a saint) whisked me away to the promised land. The drive was… intense. Motorbikes! Narrow streets! Piles of fruit I desperately wanted to try! I think I closed my eyes at least three times. (Okay, maybe more.) The villa itself? Gorgeous. Like, Instagram-worthy gorgeous. Actually, I’m already taking pictures. (Guilty!)
Afternoon (2:30 PM - 4:00 PM): Unpack. Or attempt to. I brought approximately 700 bikinis. It’s a serious problem, people. Also, I'm pretty sure my suitcase exploded and birthed a rogue collection of socks under the bed.
Late Afternoon (4:00 PM - 6:00PM): Explore the villa, discover the pool (YES!), and promptly fall in love. The pool is the size of a small ocean. I'm considering moving in. Also, first cocktail of the trip: a mango mojito. It’s delicious, a little too much ice, but it’s still delicious and I've decided to ignore some of the imperfections.
Evening (7:00 PM - Late): Went to eat a nasi goreng for dinner, and the service was super slow, I'm thinking I'll just eat the food and try to rest a bit.

Day 2: Ubud’s Embrace (and My Stomach’s Rebellion)

Morning (8:00 AM -ish): The dreaded Jet Lag. Woke up at 3 AM and stared at the ceiling, contemplating the meaning of life and the existential dread of a bad hair day. Decided to embrace it and go for an early morning swim. It’s now become a ritual.
Morning (9:30 AM): Breakfast. Banana pancakes with the best mango. That's the only part that made me happy.
Morning (10:00 AM): Visit the Ubud Monkey Forest. These monkeys! They're cheeky, brazen, and possibly plotting world domination. Lost my sunglasses immediately and had no choice but to buy new ones.
Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch. Tried a warung; a small, local restaurant. Ordered something that was supposed to be delicious. It wasn't. My stomach is now staging a revolt. Note to self: Stick to the familiar. (Or maybe just eat more mangoes.)
Afternoon (3:00 PM): Yoga class. Me and yoga? It's questionable. But hey, at least I tried. Survived, but I may or may not have resembled a beached whale at certain points.
Evening (6:00 PM): Dinner at a restaurant with a rice paddy view. Romantic, right? Then the mosquitos arrived and I forgot all about the rice paddies.
Evening (8:00 PM): Attempting meditation. Failed miserably. My mind is currently a swirling vortex of thought: "Did I remember to put sunscreen on my nose? What’s the WiFi password? Is it too early for another cocktail?"

Day 3: The Temple of Tears & Terrifying Transportation

Morning (8:00 AM -ish): Woke up feeling slightly less like a zombie. Success!
Morning (9:00 AM): Visited Tanah Lot Temple. Stunning. Absolutely breathtaking. (But crowded. So. Many. Tourists.) Took a million pictures.
Mid-Morning (11:00 AM): Attempted a surfing lesson. I am now convinced I have, the dexterity of a newborn giraffe. Fell. A lot. Swallowed some seawater. Worth it, though!
Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch at a beachside warung. The food was amazing! I ate everything. Possibly too much. The waves made it all so refreshing!
Afternoon (3:00 PM): Got a traditional Balinese massage. Pure. Bliss. Almost fell asleep.
Late Afternoon (4:00 PM): Attempted to hire a driver to get me to the villa. That became one hell of a harrowing experience of motorbikes and honking horns.
Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at the villa. I've decided I'm going to order more food and more cocktails.
Evening (9:00 PM): Early night. Sun, surf, and questionable driving skills are exhausting. Plus, I think I might be developing a mild sunstroke. Send. Help. (And maybe a gigantic hat.)

Day 4: Rice Paddies & Regrets (and Maybe a Little Bit of Bliss)

Morning (9:00 AM -ish): Woke up feeling okay. I'd like to think.
Morning (10:00 AM): Visited the Tegalalang Rice Terraces. The most beautiful scenery I've ever seen! It's not as crowded as Tanah Lot, but it's still crowded, but I didn't care.
Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch. Ordered a smoothie at a cafe with a view of the rice terraces. The flavor was great, but the coffee was not.
Afternoon (3:00 PM): Went to the villa. Got a massage. I am now convinced I am the princess of bliss.
Evening (6:00 PM): Decided to take a bath. Not a good idea. I'm starting to wonder if I forgot to put the drain plug on.
Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at the villa. More food, more cocktails.
Evening (8:00 PM): The villa has a bar. Now I know. I'm buying more alcohol.
Evening (9:00 PM): Early night. The princess has fallen asleep.

Day 5: The Great Shopping Debacle (and a Near-Death Experience with a Coconut)

Morning (8:00 AM -ish): Woke up with a slight hangover. Oops.
Morning (10:00 AM): Decided to go shopping. Kuta Market. A sensory overload. Bargaining is a must. I got conned on a scarf. (I swear it was beautiful, though.)
Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch. Found a little place that seemed safe. The food was passable.
Afternoon (3:00 PM): The beach. Sun, sand, and the sheer joy of doing absolutely nothing. Almost got taken out by a rogue wave.
Late Afternoon (4:00 PM): Tried to drink a coconut. It was a total disaster. The coconut nearly took my eye out.
Evening (7:00 PM): Indulge in a dinner at a restaurant.
Evening (9:00 PM): Went back to the villa.

Day 6: Farewell… For Now (and Packing Panic)

Morning (8:00 AM -ish): Okay, time to face the music. Packing. This is where the chaos truly begins. How did I accumulate so much stuff?
Morning (10:00 AM): One last swim in the pool. Savoring every moment. This is the hardest part.
Afternoon (1:00 PM): Final meal. One last mango smoothie.

Escape to Paradise: Besso Villa - Spill the (Kopi) Beans! Your Bali Dream, Messy & Real

Okay, spill it. Is Besso Villa REALLY paradise, or just Instagram-filtered hype?

Alright, fine, I'll be honest. Paradise? Nah, not *quite*. More like… **a really, REALLY good time, with moments that felt genuinely heavenly.** Let's just say the Instagrammers haven't fully lied – but they've definitely cherry-picked. Picture this: you’re standing at the infinity pool, that gorgeous view of the jungle sprawling before you. And then… a rogue geckos decides your ear is a fantastic landing spot. True story. Almost leaped into the pool with a *very* un-paradise scream. Still, for the most part, it was pretty darn spectacular.

The Villa Itself – What's the Vibe? Fancy-pants, or chill-out haven?

Definitely chill-out haven, with a healthy dose of 'ooh-la-la'. It's got that classic Balinese look – think lots of wood, flowing fabrics, and open-air spaces. But it’s also got those little touches that make you go, "Whoa, fancy!". Like that giant four-poster bed that made me feel like royalty (even if I spent most of the time sprawled across it reading a trashy novel). There's a *lot* of space. We were a group of six, and we never once felt like we were tripping over each other. Which is saying something, considering my sister's habit of leaving her shoes *everywhere*.

The Infamous Infinity Pool – Does it live up to the hype?

Oh. My. God. The pool. The *pool* is possibly the reason my therapist is getting a new car. It's stunning. Absolutely, breathtakingly, jaw-droppingly, "I'm never leaving this spot" gorgeous. You could literally spend a week just floating there, sipping Bintang, and staring at the jungle. (And I nearly *did*).The view is ridiculous. I actually spent a good hour one morning just watching the monkeys swing in the trees. Seriously, it's an experience. But, here’s the reality check… you *will* have to share it with other guests. And sometimes, that means, having to share a breathtaking sunrise with a very loud Instagram influencer. Sigh.

What about the Staff? Are they constantly hovering, or do they let you breathe?

The staff are AMAZING. Seriously, the best. They're there when you need them, offering up delicious breakfast, arranging transport, and generally making sure you’re living your best life. But they’re also masters of the art of invisibility. They clean your rooms when you’re out, magically refill your Bintang when you're running low, and they *always* have a smile. They managed to tolerate our late nights, early mornings, and general chaotic energy with grace. I'm pretty sure they could also have helped us murder someone - I mean, I am just saying that in jest, but I feel like they'd be capable of anything with that level of service. The head chef made this amazing nasi goreng that I still dream about. Seriously, I need the recipe.

Food, glorious food! What's the culinary scene like at Besso Villa?

Oh, the food! Absolutely fantastic. Breakfast is included, and it's a feast – fresh fruit, eggs any way you like, pancakes… the works. You can also order lunch and dinner, and the chef is a wizard. Seriously. The fresh seafood was unbelievable, and they catered to all our dietary requirements (even my fussy sister, who only eats beige food). One night, we had a proper Indonesian feast, with every dish bursting with flavor. I may have eaten myself into a happy food coma that night. The only minor issue? You might want to budget a little extra for food – but trust me, it's worth every penny.

Location, Location, Location – Is it easy to get around and explore Bali?

Besso Villa is tucked away, which is part of the charm. It's peaceful, quiet… you feel like you're in your own little world. But this of course means you need transport to get anywhere. The Villa can arrange drivers, which is super convenient (and cheaper than getting taxis all the time). We ventured out to Ubud (highly recommend the Monkey Forest, even if those monkeys are sassy little thieves!), the beaches, and even went on a day trip to a rice terrace. Just be prepared for potential traffic – Bali traffic is a beast. It took us three hours to get back to the airport, even though it looked close in the map. So, plan accordingly!

Any unexpected challenges or downsides we should know about?

Okay, let's get real. First, the mosquitos. They are hungry. Pack *all* the bug spray you own. Second, the Wi-Fi isn't super strong. Which, honestly, was kinda nice. Forced digital detox, anyone? Thirdly, and this is a personal thing, I'm not sure I fully appreciated how much heat I can take. The Bali heat can be a lot. Drink water. Always drink water. And finally, be prepared to never want to leave. Seriously, the hardest part of the trip was leaving.

Okay, is it worth the money? The Big Question...

Look, it's not cheap. It's a splurge. But… YES. Absolutely, unequivocally, yes. If you're looking for a special trip, a place to truly relax and recharge, or if you just want to feel like a movie star for a few days, then book it. The memories? Priceless. Getting to decompress in a beautiful space like Besso Villa and just *be*? Worth every single rupiah (and then some!). Just go. Just do it. You won't regret it. But seriously, pack the bug spray.

Anything else we need to know before we book?

Oh, one more thing! Pack an open mind, a sense of adventure, and a good book. And prepare to be completely and utterly charmed by Bali. It's more than just a beautiful villa; it's the people, the culture, the whole vibe of the island. Go, enjoy it, and… maybe bring back some of that Nasi Goreng forMy Hotel Reviewst
