It wasn't me who contacted you and I love your site.
It deserves better.
The Rotary connection at Bayu were the nominee owners with the original American investor.
Nengah and Anik,who are now part of the "Horizon" project( and will own and run Sails Restaurant)have given their time freely to help Rotary Seminyak help other Balinese by putting toilets and running water in the schools, eye testing the children and cataract operations( with the generous help of the Australian John Fawcett Foundation )and changing the lives of the many children in the area affected by cleft lip and palate deformities.
It's hard to get Indonesians involved in voluntary work, but these guys are tops.
Have actually had the worst year ever in the villa with three months with no bookings at all, which has never happened before, but no point in cutting the guts out of the price as you get the wrong sort of people and it's not fair on guests paying full price.
Never mind, it's coming back now so long as those nasty little people don't make another "statement" this year which will affect the stability of hundreds of thousands of Balinese families.
Thank you for your good wishes and would love to meet you some time.
