Nice location, as in, a lot is pretty close. Nice and helpful staff. Amazing pool. Pretty clean.

Might have a bit noisy neighbors. But we texted the staff and they went to talk to them to turn down their music. So it was fine.

We found the proximity to great restaurants, shopping and bars was amazing. The staff were a standout. All of them were so friendly, helpful, engaging and always happy to see us. We stayed in a three bedroom villa where the open plan living area and connection to the pool was amazing. The pool kept us cool during the day and at night the air conditioned bedrooms made sure we were very comfortable when we wanted to sleep. We also enjoyed a great selection from the menu for breakfast every morning in our villa. Overall we loved our time at The Layer and will definitely return.

All staff are very friendly and approachable. The service is fast when we require towels or room service etc the staff are exceptional. The rooms were spacious clean and gives a modern feel. The cleaners are really fast and prompt. Pool is amazing to cool down in after a long day of activities. Garden kept tidy and serviced daily. Love how there are hardly no mosquitos as it’s sprayed each evening. We also had a family BBQ in our villa and the food was fresh and delicious, the set up was fabulous. Perfect location, tidy and clean. Well established villa that catered to our family needs. Highly recommend and will definitely be back in future.

There is nothing to fault about this property. 10/10. It would be nice if there was a gym on the property, but it’s no biggie as there is a gym around the corner.

We have stayed at The Layar a number of times. The lush green gardens and the spacious rooms and sunny pools keep bringing us back Having a restaurant on site provides convenience and food choice and quality is good so you can maximise your enjoyment time in your Villa The rooms are clean and serviced twice daily by friendly staff who are in and out in no time so there is minimal intrusion The property is set back from the road so peace and quiet is guaranteed This is a high quality experience and close to all of the famous Seminyak restaurants

Nothing A perfect experience and we’re hard to please

We loved being in the private villa. We were fortunate to be upgraded to a 2 bedroom villa and it was enormous! It would have easily accommodated 2 couples with heaps of space for privacy. The pool was massive and the surrounding area was a beautiful lush well kept garden. The lounge area was comfy and homey feeling, the mezzanine was also comfy with the same style of couch as the lounge area. We loved having the open air bathroom. The weather in Bali was hot and humid but the airconditioning in the bedroom was amazing. Our bed was also enormous! The staff were great, very attentive to anything we needed. They really look after the guests and we were made to feel very welcome. It was great to have a restaurant on site that we could choose to eat in at or have food brought to the villa through room service with lots of options. Breakfast was included with our booking and it was a la carte which could be taken in room or in the restaurant. The villa was great location wise, it was about a 10 minute walk to the main street in Seminyak where there were restaurants galore, shops and bars.

Nothing

We have stayed at The Layar previously and always enjoy it. On this occasion we did note that the property is not being maintained as well as it could be. Boards in the decks were rotting, timber roof tiles were not being replaced amongst a variety of smaller, other things. Not enough problems however, not to consider revisiting as we love this property.

The maintenance level in particular, greater attention could be given to this.

Welcoming and friendly staff, very responsive to any communication. The grounds are lovely, villas feel spacious and beautiful clean pools in both villas we stayed in. Enjoyed an in-Villa massage which was fantastic and highly recommend. Despite a few tired aspects, still one of the nicest villas we’ve stayed in - 4 bedroom and 3 bedroom. 5-7min walk to eat street and pop out at Ginger Moon restaurant.

Whilst not an issue for me, there are alot of small stairs in various angles within the villa that may catch elderly or kids by surprise.

- Staff were great and helpful and instantly attended calls/messages and any special requests - Location was great and close to many shops & malls and can easily get a taxi to the parking area. - The place was quiet and far from the roads. - The kids enjoyed the pool during warm days.

- Dine-In options could be improved as at some point we got bored of the same breakfast option during our stay - Furniture were old and will need replacement/maintenance for better experience. - The wooden floor at the pool area were unstable at some part and some are old and will need to be replaced/sanded to avoid injuries. - Pool didn't have heater system and we weren't able to swim during cold days. - Sliding door at the room at a gap which could allow lizards/insects to get in (maybe readjusting the doors will be required) - Too many mosquitos (but this is normal there) even though the turn-down service team were spraying the place on daily basis.

The villa was well maintained and featured many great amenities with luxurious design. The staff incredibly were friendly and helpful. Breakfast options were also great and prepared fresh every morning. Location in Seminyak was quiet yet close enough to main entertainment hot spots.

Open air design made us sitting targets for mosquitos. The staff sprayed every day and the AC in the bedrooms all helped.

I decided to spend my last day in Bali in The Layar to relax with my girlfriend before flying back to Italy; I wish I’d done it for the last three days!! I’ve been in private villas before in Bali but a villa in a 5 stars resort is next level. As soon as you arrive in the tree covered driveway, you’re caught buy a sense of calmness. Despite being in the centre of Seminyak you hardly hear any noise. The advantages of a private villas (your own pool and garden above all) are much more enjoyable with 5 star hotel service: pick up the phone for a fantastic in villa massage, order room service and a good glass of wine. The villa itself is amazing, the pool is so large that could be still good for a two-bedroom villa. Morning yoga on the pool deck with birds chirping and sun filtering through the vegetation didn’t made me miss much my favourite shala in Ubud. We were planning to leave just for sunset and dinner… we ended up staying in the villa till dark and dining at the Italian restaurant within the resort; as Italian and vegan I can highly recommend it. We’ll be back!
