Bali's AV Villa Destino: 4BR Paradise Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into a review of Bali's AV Villa Destino: 4BR Paradise Awaits! – and trust me, after spending a WEEK there (don't judge, Bali brain takes time to settle in), I have thoughts. Buckets and buckets of them. Forget those sterile, corporate reviews. This is the REAL DEAL.
First things first: Accessibility, because, frankly, sometimes you need to know this stuff.
Look, I’m not in a wheelchair, but I have wrangled a suitcase the size of a small car up winding Balinese paths. So, my perspective is this: the villa’s not fully accessible. It’s not got a ramp to the pool (slight incline, doable but tricky with baggage). Elevators? Nope. But, and this is key, the ground floor is generally okay, and the staff are INCREDIBLY helpful. They'll practically carry you on their backs if you ask. They'll help you get to your room, especially if you have a disability. They're good blokes.
Overall Accessibility: Partially Accessible, but AMAZING staff.
- Points: 7/10. Solid for Bali, stellar for helpful staff.
The Internet Angle: Because, Let's Be Honest, We're All Addicted.
Okay, internet. This is Bali. You're not going to get super speed, and there are gaps. But… FREE WI-FI IN ALL ROOMS! Praise be! And yes, it's there. A dedicated internet, or Internet [LAN], is available. I brought my laptop of course. There is Internet services such as Wi-Fi in public areas. So, you can upload your Insta stories of the stunning sunset. You can occasionally watch Netflix without wanting to yeeting your laptop out of the window, so that is awesome. My god, I love the internet.
- Internet Score: 8/10 because the staff are probably secretly building an extra server for the guests.
Things to Do & Ways to RELAX (Oh. Em. Gee.)
Alright, this is where AV Villa Destino shines. The brochure promises “paradise,” and, well, they deliver.
The Pool with a View: Seriously. I spent half a day just… staring. The infinity pool sloshed into the jungle. The other half I spent in the pool.
Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: And the spa! Ah, the spa. The body wrap… I wasn't sure what to anticipate, but I was so pleased. It was truly relaxing.
Massage: The Balinese massage? Absolute heaven. The masseuse, Komang (I think!), had hands of pure, warm magic. I'm talking a good spa, not a great spa, this is a 9/10 spa. This is a place of pure bliss. I've gotten a massage in Bali where it was okay, but this was truly heavenly.
Fitness Center/Gym: Full disclosure, I didn’t use it. I figured climbing stairs to get to my room was enough cardio. But it was there, and it looked… modern. (And, yeah, I felt a pang of guilt every time I saw it, which is why I'm mentioning it).
Things-to-Do Rating: 9/10. The spa alone is worth the price of admission.
Cleanliness and Safety? In a Pandemic World, This Matters!
Listen, 2024, right? We are paranoid, and rightfully so. AV Villa Destino gets it.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Check.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Check.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Check.
- Hand sanitizer everywhere: Check.
Honestly, I felt safer there than I do in my local grocery store back home. The staff wore masks, kept their distance. I saw them cleaning constantly. They take this seriously.
- Safety Score: 10/10. They nailed it.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Because Paradise Requires Fuel.
Okay, food. Bali is food HEAVEN. The villa has a lot of options.
Restaurants: Yes! There’s an A la carte in restaurant, so I went straight for the Balinese specialty, and I have no regrets. They had multiple restaurants to choose from.
Breakfast [Buffet/ In Room]: The breakfast was a mix of buffet and in-room service. I went for the Western breakfast one day, but the Asian breakfast the next day. The Breakfast [buffet] was pretty spectacular, and the staff deliver Breakfast in room… and the takeaway service they provided was great.
Bar/Poolside Bar: The bar was great, and the Poolside bar was even better. Happy Hour was an absolute must.
Room Service [24-hour]: Room service was available, and oh my god, it was heaven sent. I often ordered a snack at 3 AM, and it arrived on time.
Other Dining options: Everything was good. I enjoyed a salad, soup, and even some desserts from the restaurant.
I’m not sure if it was a vegetarian restaurant, but they had vegetarian options.
Food Score: 9/10. Delicious, convenient, and the staff were always accommodating.

AV Villa Destino: Bali - The Chaotic (But Beautiful) Itinerary
(A tentative schedule, with a high probability of things going sideways in the most delightful way possible.)
Day 1: Arrival & Immediate Zen (Yeah, right.)
- Morning (Basically, whenever we actually roll out of bed after the insane flight): *Ugh, Bali time. Still battling jet lag. Got off the plane, and it felt like I'd stepped into a sauna made of jasmine and bad decisions. So we grab our baggage, stumble outside in a haze, and the first thing that hits is THE HEAT. Holy moly. The driver (bless his soul, he's got the world's most patient face). The Villa! Ahhh. Let the decompression begin! Oh wait… did I pack the right charger? Did I remember to turn off the stove? (Rambling… Sorry… I'm still processing). Finally, we arrive at the villa. It's AMAZING. The pool! The lush greenery! The staff… oh the staff! (They probably think we're a bunch of sleep-deprived, luggage-obsessed weirdos based on our initial performance).
- Afternoon: Poolside Rendezvous (and maybe a near-drowning). Settle in (sort of). Time to get a little tan! The pool is calling my name, then I remembered I did not pack sunscreen. Now the hunt begins! We're going to attempt to buy some at the local shops.
- Evening: Warung Wanderings & Cultural Confusion. Okay, so, first things first – Warung hopping! No fancy restaurants tonight, we’re diving straight into the local scene. Finding a warung is easy. Then came the ordering. I'm pretty sure I accidentally ordered something that has a look of a creature from the deep. The locals are so friendly, smiling and laughing at us, even when we stumble over the words. We just laugh with them. Who knows, maybe it was just a side of a really good chili sauce.
Day 2: Temples, Rice Paddies, and a Potential Monkey-Related Incident.
- Morning: Temples & Temple Tantrums? We're going temple-hopping! First stop: Tanah Lot! (I hope I'm up for the adventure…). Apparently, it's beautiful at sunrise. (Said by people who aren't me, because… well… sleep). I've seen pictures, and it is simply breathtaking, I hope I'm not too grumpy. Oh, then there's the inevitable haggling over souvenirs. Because, you know, "artisan" suddenly means "300% markup". I wonder if I can bargain.
- Afternoon: Into the Rice Paddies… and Possibly a Monkey Brawl. Okay, rice paddies. That's a total "Eat, Pray, Love" cliché, right? But still, I'm in. Hopefully, the monkeys are having a good day, and won't steal my sunglasses again… (yes, this has happened). Picture this: me, serenely strolling through the rice paddies, contemplating the meaning of life, and then… BAM! A rogue monkey, fueled by pure mischief, launches an ambush and snatches my phone! If that happens, I might scream.
- Evening: Sunset, Sand, and Serendipity (Maybe?). Dinner at a beachfront restaurant! This is what I expected. It's going to be romantic. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues. The sound of the waves is soothing. The food is divine (fingers crossed on the no-monster dish) and the company…well, let's just say we have a lot of laughs.
Day 3: Adventure Time! (Or At Least, Attempted Adventure Time).
- Morning: Volcano hike fail. We're going to hike Mount Batur! (Well, attempt to hike Mount Batur). Now, the idea of a sunrise hike is amazing. The reality, however, might involve a lot of huffing, puffing, and questioning our life choices at 3 AM. I have a feeling I will be out of shape. We may end up stopping halfway, drinking coffee, and enjoying the view from the rest stop.
- Afternoon: We made it! (kidding) We're going to drive to the waterfalls. The first waterfalls we planned to visit were closed. So we go to plan B. We find a different waterfall to visit. It was an incredible experience!
- Evening: Massage Session. (Worth it! Oh So Worth it!) After all that strenuous adventure… massage. Yes. Yes. YES. I am paying for one. And if I could, I'd probably live there.
Day 4: Beach Day & Beach Bumming Bliss (Mostly).
- Morning: Beach Bonfires, or Sunburns (or more Monkeys!). Beach day! Seminyak or Canggu – the eternal Bali dilemma. I am hoping for the best. The plan is to just relax. (Famous last words, right?).
- Afternoon: Surfing. (Again, maybe). Maybe a surfing lesson! (Or, more likely, me looking utterly ridiculous and falling off the board a hundred times and wondering if there's a secret, easy way to look graceful).
- Evening: Farewell Dinner & Villa Debrief. One last epic Balinese feast! The villa staff will probably be secretly cheering, knowing they finally have a few days to breathe after us. Farewell dinner! Time to reflect on this amazing experience.
Day 5: Goodbye Bali (For Now!)
- Morning: Last Minute Madness & Airport Shenanigans. Packing… or attempting to pack. Realizing I have WAY too much Balinese craft clutter. Tears.
- Afternoon: Sayonara!! The flight. It's the end. But it's also the beginning of planning the next trip.
Important Notes (and Caveats):
- Food: Be adventurous! Try everything (within reason). And embrace the chaos of the warungs. Keep some Imodium on hand.
- Transportation: Hire a driver. Seriously. Traffic is insane. They know the shortcuts and the best places to get nasi goreng.
- Money: Bargain! But be respectful. And tip generously – the staff are amazing.
- Flexibility: Things will go wrong. Embrace it. Laugh about it. It's part of the adventure.
- My Feelings: I will be incredibly sad to leave. Bali, you've been amazing. But, also, I'm ready for a nap.
So there you have it. The slightly-disorganized, highly-emotional, potentially-monk-assaulted itinerary for my Bali adventure at AV Villa Destino. Wish me luck! (And maybe send a rescue team if I get lost in the rice paddies.) Wish me luck!
