Why should I book through you?
♥ It is very special for us to be able to offer you a PACKAGE that includes our personal growth and relationship healing work together with Balinese massage in such a nurturing and relaxing environment. If you book independently there is no guarantee that you will be situated near us and you will not have access to the full package of treatments, food, drink, etc and you could miss out on the work that happens simply from spending time with others. We also take care of transfers between the airport and the resort.
INTERNET AND MOBILE PHONE ACCESS
♥ Internet, satellite/wi-fi available in the restaurant and signal does reach some of the rooms and the jogglo. But satellite will come and go in the remote mountains. It is usually reliable of a morning and night. Yes, wi-fi is free for guests (when it's working).
♥ Mobile phones - You would need to organise sim cards in advance as you can't purchase them in our local village or anywhere close by. You can recharge sim cards in the local village once you have one. Because of our remote location XCELL works best.
♥ SIM cards are only $5 each so we can arrange some for you if you let us know in advance. It is much better to use a Bali sim card, even to sms back to Australia it's much cheaper than using an OZ sim card on roam.
