The Chai T house was a refresing experience. Since it is open to the elements, there was naturally some dirt and dust inside the property. The sheets were not high quality but they were clean, the furniture was neat and in good condition, and there were plenty of lights and electrical outlets - oddly placed switches and all.The communal pool was refreshing and clean, though there were leaves and other organic matter in the pool that had sunk to the bottom - normal for an outdoor, uncovered pool. It did not stop us from swimming in the pool and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The property managers were friendly and welcoming and offered plenty of useful advice about hte area and about the local customs. The Chai T house was not luxury living - from a Canadian standpoint, it was more like very luxurious glamping. It was a bit raw, a bit rough around the edges, a bit buggy (except inside the bed with the mosquito netting). However, there was something magical about being inside the upper bedroom, safely watching a tropical rainstorm blow through. There was something special about being surrounded by the jungle in the outdoor (mostly private) bathroom. Between the very active and vocal roosters in the area AND the villagers practicing and preparing for Nyepi, it was an unforgetable experiene that we will enjoy forever. * Be prepared - the wall between the two shower stalls is narrow enough that your friend/traveling partner could reach around and scrub your...back.
