Saba Villa

We have been visiting Saba Villas for over 10 years now. We have taken our children many times and have always had the absolute best time. The staff constantly amaze us. Thy are so friendly and professional and have watched our kids grow. We just spent a few days at Saba celebrating our 32nd wedding anniversary and had another incredible holiday. My wife and I just arrived and didn't leave for several days. We are taking our adult kids back later this year for a remembrance trip with their adult partners. The food is always great. Special BBQ nights and seafood feasts are always a treat or a Balinese night with local foods and dancing are to be remembered. The pool side massages are a must. We always feel safe and cared for at Saba. Can't recommend it high enough.

The villa is outrageously overpriced—you can find far better-maintained properties on Airbnb for a third of the cost. I mistakenly booked the wrong dates and location, and when I realized my error two weeks before the trip, I worked with ******* to try and get a refund. Despite our best efforts, the owner refused to budge and wouldn’t offer any flexibility whatsoever. After those tense email exchanges, we were left in the uncomfortable position of actually having to stay at this place—only to arrive and find that all his villas were sitting empty. We were literally his only guests, yet he still clung to our money like his life depended on it. The website promises perks like Finn’s VIP Beach Club access, but when we tried to use it, it didn’t work. When we asked the owner, he gave us a bunch of nonsense excuses instead of actually helping. And let’s talk about breakfast—while they advertise it, they nickel and dime you for every little thing, making it more of a hassle than a perk. It’s laughable, especially when food in Bali is cheap and everywhere. Charging for espresso is especially hilarious and is the perfect metaphor for Andy's business acuman. The “shuttle service” is another joke. It’s limited to a useless 2km radius, meaning you can’t even get to the main part of Canggu. This guy is clearly struggling to get guests and will squeeze every dollar out of you with his ridiculously overpriced villa. What a scam. I hope Andy enjoys the money he scammed out of us—because that’s all he’s got going for him.

Luxurious villas with great staff. The villas are large and have big pools. We stayed in Nakula Villa.
