Escape to Paradise: Nusa Penida's BEST Deluxe Double Room Villa!
Escape to Paradise: Nusa Penida's BEST Deluxe Double Room Villa!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Escape to Paradise: Nusa Penida's BEST Deluxe Double Room Villa! and, well, let's just say it's a journey. Honestly, writing about a hotel, especially the best room, feels like a fever dream after a week of Bali belly. But hey, that’s how real life is. Let's do this.
The Big Picture: Is This REALLY Paradise?
First off, Nusa Penida is stunning. Like, jaw-dropping, Instagram-breaking, "I can't believe I'm actually here" stunning. So, location-wise, Escape to Paradise has a head start. This isn't some concrete jungle; it's the real deal. Now, the Deluxe Double Room? That's what we're here to dissect, right?
Accessibility & Safety: Navigating the New Normal (And My Own Two Left Feet)
- Accessibility: Now, this is Bali, not a meticulously planned European city. I'd need to give them a call to confirm the full details.
- Cleanliness and Safety: Okay, let's get the "adulting" part out of the way. This is important stuff now, and Escape to Paradise seems to take it seriously. They're touting anti-viral cleaning, daily disinfection, and staff trained in safety protocols. Good. Hugely reassuring. And hey, they even offer room sanitization opt-out. I'm not sure how to feel about that, but its there.
- For the kids: I don't have kids, but I'm pretty sure they're also going to need some stuff like that.
The Room Itself: Deluxe Double Room – Worth the Hype? (Rambling Ahead!)
Okay, here's where things get interesting. Because, let's be honest, the real test of a hotel isn't the lobby; it's the room. Let's see if the Deluxe Double measures up.
- Available in All Rooms: Air conditioning? Check. Free Wi-Fi (thank the Wi-Fi gods!)? Check. But here's a confession: I judge a hotel by its coffee/tea maker. It's the first thing I do after making myself feel safe and at peace. (It's my pre-sunset ritual, don't judge.) So, did this room pass the caffeine test? Yes, thankfully.
- The Bathroom: Separate shower/bathtub, check, and the all-important "hot water" situation. So, the bathroom was functional, I'm not going to lie, it was pretty good.
- Other Room Features: The black-out curtains are good for the extra-long bed. I need my sleep, you know.
The Experience: Food, Fun, and Trying Not to Mess Up
- Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Ah, the good stuff. They have an Asian breakfast, and Western cuisine, a bar – these are all good signs. Now, I, for one, love the idea of a poolside bar while I'm trying to have my body wrap. Is it actually as idyllic as it sounds? That's the question.
- Ways to Relax: Body scrub, body wrap, fitness center, foot bath, gym/fitness, massage, pool with a view, sauna, spa – they're all there. I need my spa, because that's just how it should be.
Getting Around (and Avoiding Disaster)
- Getting around: Airport transfer? Taxi service? Car park? Phew, yes! It all sound about right. I think i'll be ok.
The Anecdote (and the "Oops" Moment)
Remember that time I tried to order room service at a fancy hotel in Italy and accidentally ordered something that cost more than my rent? Yeah, exactly. So, I always check the room service menu before I start fantasizing. I'm going to do this.
The Imperfection (because life isn't all filtered sunsets)
Okay, here's where I'll be honest. No hotel is perfect. I'm guessing there might be some minor things. This is a messy, human review. You'll have to report back. That's living in the world.
The Opinionated Conclusion: Book It?
So, would I book Escape to Paradise: Nusa Penida's BEST Deluxe Double Room Villa? Based on this, yes, I would. Sure, there will be little quirks. But, come on, you're in Nusa Penida! This is a well-organized place with a great location.

Hefei's BEST Hotel Near High-Speed Rail? (GreenTree Inn Review!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized, picture-perfect itinerary. This is… my itinerary. My messy, opinionated, potentially-sunburnt-and-hangry-by-day-three itinerary for Nusa Penida. And we're starting with a Great Deluxe Double Room Villa. Because, hey, even a disaster needs a comfortable base camp, right? (Fingers crossed the AC works, though…)
Nusa Penida: Operation Chill & Maybe Don't Die (Because Let's Be Real, Bali's Roads Are A Vibe) (Dates: To be decided… when I actually book this damn thing. For now, let's say, next week. Maybe.)
Accommodation: Great Deluxe Double Room Villa (Crossing fingers for a plunge pool – I deserve it after all this planning, or lack thereof, actually, who I kidding).
Day 1: Arrival and… Existential Dread (and Maybe a Beach)
- Morning (ish): Arrive at Denpasar Airport (DPS). Pray to the travel gods (or, you know, download a decent taxi app) that the immigration line isn't longer than my patience. The flight was a nightmare, seriously the guy in the back kept kicking my seat and I still can't decide weather to tell him politely or to unleash my inner Karen.
- Mid-Morning: Ferry to Nusa Penida. Okay, reality check: I'm notorious for seasickness. Bring the Dramamine, the ginger candy, and maybe a small, strategically placed bucket. Anyone got any seasickness tips? Let me know. Please.
- Lunch: Settle into the villa! (Assuming it's actually the villa I booked, and not a storage shed. It's happened). Then, a quick dip in that plunge pool (manifesting it into existence if it doesn't exist) and a celebratory Bintang. Is it too early to tell on myself? Nah, probably not.
- Afternoon: Explore around the villa, there will be so many Instagramable places around. Depending on the vibe, rent a scooter. Warning: Do NOT overestimate your scooter skills (I'm staring at you, past me). Nusa Penida roads are… unique. Maybe a driver is a safer bet. Or maybe a kayak. Just for fun, if I will have enough energy.
- Evening: Sunset at Crystal Bay. I've seen the pictures. It's stunning. I'm also anticipating a huge crowd. So, prepare for some serious elbowing for a decent photo. Post-sunset, a seafood dinner at a local warung. I'm all about supporting small businesses, but mostly I'm all about the fresh grilled fish. And maybe a few more Bintangs. Let the good times roll.
- Late Evening: Honestly, probably crashed out in bed, dreaming of not having to ride a scooter. Maybe. Or maybe dancing, or maybe just looking at the stars.
Day 2: Angels, Broken Temples, and Questionable Decisions
- Morning: Angel's Billabong & Broken Beach. This is supposed to be THE highlight. A natural infinity pool at Angel's Billabong! Dramatic cliffs at Broken Beach! Prepare for a lot of tourists. Also, prepare for very salty water. And for the fact that the "natural infinity pool" might not be swimmable depending on the tide. But hey, I am ready for it. So should you.
- Lunch: A warung (local restaurant) between spots. I'll assess my hunger levels depending on how many near-death experiences I’ve had on the scooter (again, thinking a driver is looking better and better).
- Afternoon: Time to explore a temple! The one most highly recommended is Temeling Beach and Forest, with the natural pools. After all the scooter/driver discussions, the way down is so steep, I can't even imagine what to think.
- Evening: Dinner and sunset views. Maybe stay at the villa and eat that seafood, or try something new at a local restaurant.
Day 3: Mantas, Manta Madness and Maybe Regret?
- Morning: Snorkeling with Manta Rays. THIS IS THE THING. The one I'm most excited about! This is the one I'm also most terrified about, because, remember, seasickness. So, all the anti-nausea strategies. I'm talking ALL of them. And lots of camera waterproof. Fingers crossed the visibility is excellent and the mantas are cooperative. This is what dreams are made of.
- Afternoon: Beach time!! Maybe find a quiet spot on one side of the island to chill out, swim and read.
- Evening: Final Dinner. Maybe a more "special"/ nice (maybe a little formal) restaurant, or maybe I feel fine just ending my time at this island eating some fried noodles again.
Day 4: Departure and Post-Travel Trauma
- Morning: Last-minute souvenir shopping (I'm the queen of procrastination). One last swim in the plunge pool (manifesting that again). Farewell breakfast at a local warung.
- Mid-Morning: Ferry back to the mainland. Pray to non-seasickness gods.
- Afternoon: Travel to Denpasar Airport. Goodbye Nusa Penida, you've been really great, I'm sure. I will probably need a vacation from my vacation.
Things I Know I'll Probably Forget/Do:
- * Sunscreen: I will forget it. I always do.
- * Say thank you: I will forget to say thank you in Indonesian
- * Pack less: I will overpack. As usual.
- * Actually follow this itinerary? Well, that remains to be seen. Let's be honest, I'm probably going to ditch half of this and follow my heart (and stomach).
- * And I will miss everything and want to be back.
So there you have it. My Nusa Penida adventure, in all its messy, unpredictable glory. Wish me luck. And maybe send me some tips on avoiding seasickness.

Escape to Paradise: Nusa Penida's BEST Deluxe Double Room Villa - Yeah, Right! (But Mostly Right...)
Okay, is it *really* paradise? Seriously? 'Cause that's a big claim.
Paradise? Look, let's be real. Actual paradise is probably some cloud-filled, harp-playing, nectar-sipping kind of deal. This? This is Nusa Penida paradise, which means… it’s pretty damn close. Picture this: That first glimpse of the infinity pool shimmering above the turquoise ocean… yeah, that’s good. The staff? Mostly lovely (more on that later, ahem). But paradise? Depends on your definition. If your definition includes the sounds of construction sometimes (Bali, am I right?!), a gecko running across your bathroom wall at 3 AM (I almost had a HEART ATTACK – seriously!), or a slight delay in your morning coffee because the power went out (again!), then, yes, possibly… It's more 'paradise-adjacent'. Let's just say, I'd happily live there for a month. Key word: happily. You wanna know? Fine. It's amazing, but temper your expectations. It's not *perfect* perfect, because… life, y'know?
The "Deluxe Double Room Villa" – what does that even *mean*? Like, what should I actually expect in terms of room size and features? And is it worth the money?
Okay, the "Deluxe" part is pretty accurate. The villa is… well, it's *big*. Huge bed. Massive bathroom (seriously, I could have done yoga in there). Private plunge pool? Check. Outdoor shower that I actually used (mostly because it was hot, and the indoor one was a little… musty. Look, these things happen!). Think of it this way: you're paying for space. Space to breathe. Space to *not* immediately stumble all over your luggage. Space to feel like you're actually on vacation and not crammed into a dorm room (shudders). Money-worthy? Well, that depends. I splurged. I'd been working my butt off and needed a damn break. If you're aiming for budget travel... this ain't it. But if you want to treat yourself, and you value privacy and a bit of indulgence… then yes. Absolutely. My advice? Check the prices, compare them to others. But if you're close to saying 'yes', just… say 'yes'. You won't regret it. (Except maybe your bank account. Oops.)
About that Infinity Pool... what's the deal? Is it Instagram-worthy? (Be honest!)
Oh, the infinity pool. The *reason*. It's… yeah, it's definitely Instagram-worthy. You *will* get those "look at me, I'm living my best life" shots. And you’ll probably *love* it. The view? Killer. The water temperature? Perfect. The only downside? Everyone else is also trying to get that Insta-worthy shot. Which, leads to the next thing! Sometimes it was tricky to find a good time to actually *relax* and enjoy the pool in peace and quiet. But hey, it's a small price to pay for that view. I'm a sucker for a good infinity pool, and, wow, this one. Seriously worth the hype. Just learn to be a sneaky photo ninja. Or, you know, just go enjoy it and ignore the other people. Much better approach, actually. Less stress.
What’s the food like? Is there a restaurant on site? And are there options for fussy eaters? (Me, I'm a fussy eater, sue me!)
Yes, there's a restaurant. And it's… good. Not Michelin-star good, but definitely above average. Breakfast is included, which is a huge win in my book. They have the usual suspects: eggs, toast, fruit, the works. But there's also local options, which you *should* try. The nasi goreng was my go-to. Lunch and dinner? Again, good. A little pricey compared to the warungs (local eateries) outside, but convenient. Fussy eaters? You’re in luck! They were generally accommodating. I'm not wildly fussy, but I do have a general aversion to cilantro. They got it right every time. Bless them. Just… communicate your needs. Don’t be shy! And for heaven's sake, try the fresh fruit juices. Amazing.
How’s the service? Because some places skimp on that stuff.
Ah, the service. Mostly excellent. The staff, mostly, are incredibly friendly and helpful. They genuinely seem to want you to enjoy your stay. They're always smiling (a Balinese thing, I think!). *However* (here comes the but!), there were a few… hiccups. Little things. Like, the occasional forgotten towel. Or a slightly delayed room service order (that one, I did have a slight diva moment over - I HAD a craving!). But honestly? Nothing major. And the good far outweighed the bad. They really do try their best, and they generally succeed. I just learned to be patient, and, you know, embrace the island vibes of ‘things happen when they happen’. It’s Bali, after all! And besides, a little imperfection makes things all the more real, right?
Is it noisy? I'm a light sleeper.
Okay, this one needs some nuance. It's *generally* quiet. It's not like you're beside a road. But… Bali. There will be things. Roosters at dawn (always!) Geckos chirping at night (charming at first, then… not so much), and occasionally, the sounds of construction. That's Bali. I'm a reasonably light sleeper. I survived. Bring earplugs. Or download a white noise app. Or drink an extra Bintang. Works wonders. But if utter silence is your absolute must-have... consider a remote cabin on a mountaintop. Or maybe just accept that a little bit of noise is part of the adventure! Just my two cents.
How about getting around on the island? Is it easy to explore from the villa?
Getting around on Nusa Penida is an adventure in itself. Renting a scooter is the most popular option, but be warned: the roads are… challenging. Pot holes are a thing. Especially if you're not used to them. The villa can arrange for a driver & car if you prefer – and if your budget allows. Honestly, that’s what I did. Worth the extra cost, given the state of the roads (and my lack of confidence on a scooter!). The villa can also help you organize tours. Again, pros and cons. It's convenient, but you'll pay a premium. I recommend a mix. Explore on your own accord (safely!), and book a few tours for the iconic spots. Seriously, just be careful on those roadsStaynado
