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!
