10 out of 10 Paradise! The rooms were even more beautiful in person. Having a pool on the private terrace was such an indulgence. The staff went above and beyond for our comfort and happiness. After a long day of touring, we returned to a fant (excel air conditioning) oasis to choose a refreshing dip in the pool, a gentle open-air rain shower, or a leisurely soak in the carved stone tub. We had a massage on the outdoor bed.
Anusara staff shared their culture with us and were curious about ours as well. Miss Agung, Dewa, Wyan, Chyudi, and others made a tasty breakfast included in our rate. We feasted like kings, Indonesian or Western or Vegetarian. Don' miss the fresh blended juices!
The staff was so helpful and friendly. We completely trusted their recommendations, and they told us what to avoid and even recommended a great driver Agung. I liked that they had several full-day and half-day tours that they put together to hit all of the highlights: waterfalls, rice terraces, Sunrise Volcano Hike.
One of the best activities was a cooking class recommended by Dewa - Garlic Bali Cooking Class. We were picked up and brought to the market and taught to choose the freshest ingredients. Then, we returned to the compound for a spotlessly clean, bright, airy class. Everything was laid out to prepare, and we made many courses. The finale was the sharing of the meal we had prepared. Our teacher was very patient, and we learned to respect the skill of the Balinese in cooking.
