We absolutely loved our stay! Karma Villas was just what we needed for our short little getaway from the busy life. We loved everything about the room! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming feeling it gave & the smell of the room reminded us a little of our trip to Bali. We even loved the soft bed sheets lol. The room had everything we needed for our stay. The location was also perfect. Nice & close to shops, restaurants & beach. Thank you for an enjoyable stay. We hope to be back again someday!

    Location was great! Near the beach, Ripley’s, Timezone, popular fast food areas, locals busking, and stalls. The room had a fantastic view of the beach, sunset looked stunning on the water. The receptionist was super friendly. The lounge was comfortable, the balcony was good, amazing view. The kitchen was cozy and had the basics. We did not use the pool but it looked nice. Parking was available under facilities in a first come first serve basis, but had no real issues locating a park.
