Taman Ahimsa by Elite Havens

Taman ahimsa— means garden of peace, is a private palm fringed waterfront thatched roofed villa near Canggu with 7 bedrooms, where you could get a massage while dramatic waves break againt the cement wall separating you from the elements. Steep stone steps leads down to the sea, safe to explore during low tides. This was an almost perfect stay where I got to hang out with friends for six days, this place is ideal for multi generational families or parties. I was with friends and did our almost daily yoga, and really enjoyed the delicious homecooked meals when we were not eating out in town While the location is beautiful, below are a few points the villa can upgrade on 1. slow wifi and staff (not very proactive) 2. Two of my friends moved room because their aircon did not work (and the villa staff did try to fix it) 3. My first night here just before 6 am, the room’s landline phone rang — definitely wasn’t any of my friends. I subsequently unplugged the phone. 4. My last night here it rained so hard the thatched roof was leaking rain on my bed & kept me up since 3 am 5. I had a huge room that had a gorgeous outdoor bathroom, except my shower water had a super rusty smell.
