We are a family of 5 adults and stayed in the 2 storey villa, absolutely lovely, clean, super comfy beds and gorgeous views looking out to the surf and the trees.
Staff and hosts Mike and Komang are great, nothing to much trouble. We arrived early and were lucky enough to get our keys upon arrival. We hired scooters through the villa and Mike gave us great advice on where to go adventuring, he and Komang even came with us for part of the way showing us the school they've started which their gorgeous children go to.
Stop and eat at the start of the street at the markets, so cheap and good.
Food at Istana is also good, serving a lovely breakfast which is included.
They have a great pool to cool of in and lovely gardens.
Istana is a short walk to the beach.
Highly recommended Istana Balian.

We enjoyed our stay at isatna with our young family of 5 and 2. The service was excellent right from the start with our checkin with komang. Meals were geeat value as well as the drinks. The 2 bedroom villa was excellent, especially the views and the day beds. Our kids loved the pool! Only a short walk to the beach and the bamboo bar. A lovely part of bali.
