Family Nest Resort & Villas

My 16month old, my husband and I had the most amazing stay! I couldn’t recommend enough. My nanny would take my daughter to all the play activities! The villa was BEAUTIFUL. It made our bali trip effortless and always something for my daughter and nanny to do.

Nothing it was amazing

Lots of nice family touches - lower sinks, nice pool and play area as well as play

The lack of a bar for adults is a real miss. Nowhere to get a glass of wine or a cocktail at the resort of even within walking distance

The design and facilities are great! We stayed in the one bedroom unit and it was such a good functional space, comfy furniture, beautiful with all the windows but still private with the high wall fence. Cool play areas for kids and very well manicured gardens to make the place look nice. The pool and play area next door were also great, for all ages of kids. Although lots of families, our villa was pretty sound proof and didn’t hear much noise. Handy the feee shuttle can take you to the more busy spots down towards Padang Padang.

There isn’t much else within walking distance, so for convenience we often ate at the conjoined restaurant and it wasn’t the best (not the worst) but was quite expensive.

The villa was very aesthetically pleasing. It was well equipped especially having a washing machine, clothes airer and multiple bathrooms. We were kindly upgraded from a 2 bed villa to a 3 bed which we were very grateful for. Staff were nice.

We have been to Bali 20+ times and this was our third trip with kids. We have never been sick in Bali however both kids became incredibly unwell within 24 hours of arriving at family nest. The property ran out of towels and our 2 year old had vomited 30+ times and were given some wet floor mats for him. Whether the sickness was from the pool or the food from Sando or ants pants we are unsure. We were at family nest for 6 days and kids and my husband were sick for 5 of them. Considering the property is marketed for families with young children it’s surprising how many unsafe elements there are. The first is no pool fences in the villas. There isn’t even a lock or latch up high on the doors to keep children from entering the pool area. The sunken lounge is actually quite dangerous, solid concrete which becomes slippery with the rug and moveable couch cushions. The large communal pool area had so many areas where children could seriously injure themselves (or worse). The treehouse playground is the most dangerous playground we have ever seen. High, unsafe areas that drop straight onto concrete/rock. The three bed villa worked well for us as we brought a grandparent. However if you needed the third bedroom for children it wouldn’t work as the only entrance to the third bedroom is via the outdoor pool area. The bedding was dirty/stained and the towels were also stained and lots had holes. Some of the pillows couldn’t even be described as pillows. Essentially bundles of fluff shoved in oversized pillowcases. The villa pool was murky by day 2. The kids club is very expensive even with the “discount” received for staying at family nest. Overall there is a lot to be improved on.
