Bali Temple was just as it was described and pictured! We loved the feel of open windows and doors all day and all night long! The decor was just beautiful and soothing. A short trek over the lava fields takes you to the fury and beauty of crashing waves and opportunity to watch both the sunrise (east and to your left) and sunset (west and to your right). We loved the local feeling of the community. Rachel provided bath towels and beach towels, extra linens, and tons of local ideas and activities for our family. We would certainly recommend Bali Temple to anyone looking for a relaxing place to stay away from the hustle and bustle.

A couple of things to consider: We did have trouble finding a family-friendly beach to play and relax as the sandy beach nearby was clothing optional and the other beaches weren't very calm and were without sand. The bedroom has a wall that is open to part of the living space (where the daybeds were located). My husband and I had wanted a little more privacy, but were able to overlook it by putting up a small screen and telling our kiddo to pretend it was a wall--no entering or approaching from that side :)
