|
Q: What if we have special food allergies/dislikes/requirements?

|
Q: What if we have a late flight?
A:
Late check-out:
Please note that a late check-out will be extended to you if there is no new arrival that day. However, you may guarantee a late check-out to suit your flights by paying a discounted 50% of the daily published rate.
If you choose not to guarantee a late check-out (or if it wasn’t available at booking time because of previous bookings) and there is a new check-in on the day of your departure your check-out time will be 11am.
However, we are keen to contribute to making your last day a special one and suggest the following:
We will take you to Le Meridian Resort and Spa at Tanah Lot (15mins away) where our guests can obtain access to all facilities for 100,000Rp pp which allows them to enjoy the pools and restaurants during the day and then to shower in the gym bathrooms perhaps prior to dinner at one of the restaurants. Alternatively (and better) I suggest you book an entry level room at http://www.starwoodhotels.com/lemeridien/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=1836
so you have access to a room all day and to shower in and this saves you paying the access fees. The SUNGAI staff will collect you at the appropriate time to take you to the airport.
If not taking a room we suggest that you take hand luggage with you and the SUNGAI staff will mind the larger luggage till they collect you in the afternoon/evening, as the hotel does not get involved with outside luggage.
|
Q: Do you offer meals at the villa?
A: Dining is a key focus at SUNGAI. Guests dine in >80% of the time as the food is regarded by most guests as being better than most restaurants and hotel outlets (incl the Four seasons Sayan). We have a team of chefs (very unusual for a small private villa) and an excellent team of dining/bar staff to present your food.
|
Q: How many guests does the complimentary vehicle hold?
A: 7 plus driver.
|
Q: Do we have to book Saturday to Saturday like many rental properties and what hours will we be met at the airport?
A: You can book any dates that are available. The minimum stays are the only constraints..these vary between seasons and are noted amongst these questions. The manager will meet you at anytime a flight arrives. We try to make your first night special even if you arrive late and have a suggested supper menu.
|
Q: What staff will we have?
A: Manager/PA, dining and bar staff, grounds staff, chefs, drivers, spa therapists, rooms staff (rooms are serviced 2x daily).
|
Q: Is there overnight staff
A: Yes..and able to make cocxktails, specialty coffees, etc.
he also makes sure the villa is in perfect order when the first guests arise. he will then offer coffees, fresh juices, early breakfats...
|
Q: Are there set meal times?
A: No. Guests can have breakfast at their leisure as they wake up. Lunch and dinner is taken together at a time to suit guests.
|
Q: How are meals handled at the villa?
A: Please note that your complimentary breakfast can be ordered each morning from the menu. Selections for all other meals are required after breakfast each day, or as soon as your plans are known. The chefs shop daily to ensure the freshest ingredients and are very flexible if those plans happen to change.
|
Q: Do we all order what we want as in a restaurant?
A: For breakfast yes.
SUNGAI has an innovative and rather unusual approach to food. The chefs shop daily at local markets, delicatessens, specialty shops and the receipts are produced to you for approval the next morning. There is no mark-up on them nor premium for its preparation by your chefs. You won’t pay a cent more than if you went and bought the produce yourself.
To help with planning for your arrival and to remove the need for major decisions as soon as you arrive at the villa, suggestions have been made below for the first couple of days that will give you an idea of the usual format. The only charge made for your dinners, lunches and snacks is the market cost of ingredients. Guests are asked to order as if for a private dinner party where, if possible, all guests enjoy the same selections. If you wish to alter the suggestions below please do so from the menus that have been sent to you previously. Of course special requests and a guest’s food dislikes are taken into account.
If relevant, you will have already received the villa’s children’s menu which is offered on the same basis as the adult one, although naturally they may select from either menu.

Children and families
"Hello Pamela,
Thankyou so much for making our stay in Bali the most relaxing holiday we've ever had. We have not stopped talking about Villa Sungai & your amazing staff since we've been home. You have thought of absolutely everything to cater for everyone’s needs, the staff were attentive yet not intrusive, the food was fantastic & great prices, the villa was so comfortable we didn't want to go anywhere, even the children were catered for with toys.
My biggest problem is Phil, Oscar & Henry's expectations on me after Trisna's exceptional service...they expect the same at home!
Thankyou again & we look forward to hopefully seeing you in 2009.
Kind Regards,
Sam & Phil Hogan

Location and tranquility
Dear Pamela,
Where do I start?? We had the most incredible time at the Villa!
From the moment we were picked up at the airport and scuttled away to our air conditioned vehicle with no hassle, was the start of 6 days of pure bliss. Made greeted us with open arms and obviously having met and spent time with Andrew and Melinda before, it was so nice to feel so welcome ….. like we were part of the ‘family’.
As I walked down the sweeping staircase which led to my ‘home’ for the next 6 days, I was overwhelmed with the tranquility of the setting and the relaxed but elegant style of the villa. Well done on creating such a beautiful space for people to enjoy and let the rest of the world and their troubles rush by them. All of my stresses seemed to float away like a leaf on the river Ayung.
Today, being Monday, will be hard for us all – no massages – no delicious lunch prepared for us – no beds made – no smell of the beautiful tuber roses and no noises of the wildlife that echo throughout the Villa at varying times of the day. I miss all of this already.
Most of all I will miss ‘Made’ and his team - especially Iluh, Trisna and Putu….. Without them, our stay would not have been the same. They set the stage for the overall experience and without them, it would not function as well as it does. They all deserve so much recognition for the superb job that they undertake every day, effortlessly and without question or compromise.
I must also thank Made and the team (or maybe you) for organizing the little dancers from the village, who performed on the eve of my birthday. They made me feel like the most special person on the island and I was overwhelmed with emotion. Same goes for the exquisite floral decoration that was placed in our room – it really was very special and I was most grateful.
Pamela, at all costs you must endeavour to keep the same team that you have at the villa, together. Most people love consistency but apart from that, they all seem to work so well together and there was a real feeling that this wasn’t just ‘a job’ for them - it was without any doubt in my mind, a way of life. They seemed to thoroughly enjoy making us feel like we belonged there. I hope that other guests feel the same way as we do. (They don’t deserve to come back if they don’t)
Recruiting people that work so closely together can at times, be very tricky but you seemed to have found the perfect balance in your team. We all felt that this was absolutely without doubt, what made our holiday so memorable.
I will be back!
Please pass on my congratulations to Made and everyone at the Villa – they really are a special group of people.
Warm Regards,
Louise xxxx

Dining and bar
Dear Pamela
We have just tonight arrived back in Bangkok from Bali and wanted to write straight away to tell you what a wonderful stay we had in Villa Sungai. Everything about the villa was fantastic – the staff were exceptional in every way (including their very kind attention to the kids’ needs and interests), the accommodation was just perfect, the food was sublime (bravo to Wayan!) and the local dance and gamelan performances were beautiful. Also thought the massages were top quality.
We especially loved the high quality bicycles and went out for three separate excursions over the three days, including to the beach and around a number of local villages, which was a wonderful way to see the area.
We had a sneak preview of Sungai Gold and offered to try it out for a night before its launch for the first guests!
We told the Villa Sungai staff personally how much we appreciated their kind attention and passed some US$ to Made to distribute to them all. You may also wish to reinforce to Made how happy we were with the professionalism, helpfulness and flexibility of everyone at VS.
Am pleased that I have now turned my family on to the beauty of Bali and was thrilled to be back there and find so much of its original beauty and charm unchanged. We hope to visit Villa Sungai again soon and will certainly recommend it to friends in this part of the world.
Best wishes

Special occasions
Dear Pamela
Louise Jacobs has just forwarded me the photos of the new bathrooms and the testimonials etc. and I am feeling really guilty that I have not written to say THANK YOU.
Our stay for Andrew’s 40th was beyond my wildest dreams and I had been dreaming about it for sometime before our stay. Prior to our stay, Andrew and I used to open a bottle of wine and just read through all the great letters and feedback on your web site. I must say, I started to get a bit concerned that I had built up our expectations so high that reality would not be able to match them. I was so wrong….I do not know how your beautiful villa and amazing team could exceed my wildest dreams. Like so many of your guests we had to keep pinching ourselves at how lucky we were to be in this amazing place.
Our friends Elizabeth and Paul could also not believe that anywhere as beautiful existed and that we had it exclusively for 7 days.
If anyone is reading your comments on the web site and believes it is too good to be true please believe that Villa Sungai is even better. I may have been a bit slack in passing on my gratitude to you and the team in writing however as you are aware we are spreading the word with our friends and I believe that two different groups have already booked Villa Sungai for early next year………..and guess what……..we are also coming to help celebrate one of the bookings for their birthday in May!
I have the Villa pool picture as my screen saver and find myself at Villa Sungai many times throughout the day…..
Kind Regards

Villa versud hotel
Pamela,
My wife Sharron and I had a wonderful 2 weeks at Sungai Gold. Wonderful villa, divine food & drinks, and most of all the fantastic staff. We have many many special memories and I will always remember my 50th birthday – thank you for the special surprise with the two dancers.
Staying in a hotel will never be the same again after this experience – we felt very close to the Balinese people and their culture during our stay.
Hopefully we will return again one day
Nigel
p.s. I’ve attached some photos below which maybe you can forward to Made and the friends at the villa.

Bali
Hi Pamela,
Just had to send you a quick email to let you know what a fabulous holiday we had at the villa!
My husband couldn’t believe how beautiful it was and he thought he was in heaven. We have traveled through Asia – Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and I would have to rate Bali as our best holiday! The food was amazing, the prawn stirfry was our favourite and we actually had that for 2 dinners it was so good and my favourite was the chocolate samosas. Our son Khyan had the best holiday also, he spent every day in the swimming pool and twice my husband and I left him at the villa with the staff and we went for dinner at Breeze and La Luciolla. We also went to Waterbom which was fantastic and to the Elephant Safari which was so much better than the one we had done in Thailand. I was so surprised by how beautiful Bali is and how safe we felt the whole time we were there. Your staff are amazing and were always ready to take us wherever we wanted and bringing us endless drinks and coffees! We were very spoilt and were so sad to leave after our 7 days, I wished we were staying for 10!
We will definitely be coming back and I have already told my husband I want us to go back to Bali next June! I have had so many friends that I have shown pictures to ask about the villa so I am spreading the word.
Thanks again Pamela for all your help, I will definitely be coming back to the villa again!

Food
Just a brief note to let you know that we had a good time at Sungai Gold.
The highlights were your staff who really looked after us very well. The cooking was better than the 4 seasons at Sayan could muster!
My wife was at first wary of living in a villa in the 'open' as it were but she got used to it very quickly and enjoyed herself thoroughly.
My thanks to you, Made and the staff who made our stay memorable.
Thanks once again for a different kind of experience!
