Nice resto with Bali ambience, with the pool at the inside, if you bring your toddler / kids, please ensure you will always guard them when playing in pool area. I was come on around 3.30 PM after late lunch, so I just trying the Kintamani drink, very fresh, I like it. Last but not least, the toilet was clean enough. I will give 5 stars after I try the food and feels like it .
