Karen & Ron made us feel so welcome and took very very good care of us. The Bali Cottage is as lovely as the pictures suggest. We loved the indoor-outdoor living. Sweet neighborhood and literally a block away from fantastic snorkeling and a beautiful grassy beach-side park, Manini Beach, never crowded and tended lovingly by some of the neighborhood women. We spent most of our time there, snorkeling, sunning, reading and watching the waves crash on the 'a'a. We ate fresh fish every night from the local market up the hill; this is farm country, so fresh fruits, nuts, vegetables and, of course, coffee available everywhere. The Balinese 4-poster bed was dreamy. We were there mostly to rest and that is just what we did.
