This resort was, at first glance, a beautiful escape from the chaos of Kuta and we loved the eco-lodge concept. However, the experience at De Moksha was not as perfect as we had hoped.
Firstly, the villas themselves were less private than we had expected. In other resorts, villas are completely private with high walls surrounding villas. Here, the villas are completely open to anyone else staying there as there was no wall around the villa to retain privacy. This ultimately lead to us keeping our blinds closed as anyone walking past our villa could peer through the windows and see us. The villa's partially open air roof made air conditioning less effective and numerous bugs got in the villa at night. The completely open bathroom was nice during the day, but was a little uncomfortable at night, especially as there were a number of spiders around outside at night.
We thought the breakfast was well prepared, but we were disappointed to see the street dog (which hangs around the resort, but has mange and worms) was walking in and out of the kitchen/food storage area. We told a staff member who laughed and said, 'yes. She likes to sleep in there'. After that, we were really uninterested in continuing to eat at the restaurant.
The private villa pool was very small and only a dip pool. It wasnt clean (green algae in it) and so we never used it. We also noticed the main pool wasn't particularly clean. Lastly, the villa is very far away from anything, so driving elsewhere is costly.
