I'm almost loathe to write this because I only want my best friends to know about this place! Our five days here (we depart this evening) have been the most relaxing of our lives. Our Imperial Villa is enormous and elegantly appointed; we have barely left our compound! What sets Ametis apart, beyond the physical beauty, is the service. Our butler Wika and his colleagues must be clairvoyent, the service is so warm and personal. For example, he noted from our first breakfast which fruits we liked, so all subsequent fruit plates were only the preferred ones. Our package came with a candlelight dinner and movie night on a big screen. We had a blast, and the evening made us feel like kids at a slumber party! The spa services were also superb. Both of us induged in three long massages, and our muscles feel like butter. We had almost all our meals at our villa, made by the on-site restaurant Billy Ho. The food was delicious, particularly the Indonesian dishes. Eating in the villa was tranquil. Canggu restaurants are, by contrast, noisy and lively. Internet was excellent, robust enough for streaming and video calls. I should add that we have visited Bali many times, and used to always stay at Amankila. We like Ametis better, and it is a far better value. Some things to know about Ametis: Canggu is busy, filled with young tattooed surfers, shops, and traffic. It is not tranquil, though the view of the Indian Ocean on the beach is lovely. A few of the villas are close to the road and one can hear traffic and the bass from the music at bars. We quickly got used to that. If you want views of mountains or rice paddies, you need to go on an excursion. A few tiny quibbles: pool noodles would be lovely (the resort has a few "floaties" or decorative inner tubes but not for every villa); the bed rests on a massive stone platform and it can be a bit of a chore to get in and out. That is about it. This place is magical. Can't wait to return.
