- Riverfront Villa
This property is, quite literally, an architectural masterpiece, having won many worldwide architecture awards. To stay here is to stay in the middle of a jungle! We booked a riverfront villa (#20), which the Four Seasons claims is their best and most private. The villa was outfitted with obscene amounts of teak, both inside and out, and had an enormous bathroom with a bathtub that was filled with frangipani on our arrival. There were great expanses of outdoor living space that made up 2200+ sq. ft., including a living room, dining area, plunge pool and deck – but be warned – if it is raining when you go, as it was for us, you will find out how small a villa of that size can feel when you are confined to the bedroom. After 3 days of solid rain, we asked the manager for a reprieve, that is, a transfer to the Four Seasons Jimbaran, which reportedly receives more sunshine since it is by the ocean. Management came through for us (actually apologizing for the weather!) by securing us an oceanfront room on Jimbaran Bay. The food at the Four Seasons Sayan was wonderful, as was the nightly singing of the many frogs. The twice-weekly mosquito spraying was a blessing. The service was a bit awkward at times, and after just coming from Amankila, being asked our room number over and over again felt like a slap in the face, but this seemed to be just a drawback of a larger hotel.
