Unbelievable Shigar Livin Bali: Your Indonesian Paradise Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the glorious, the imperfect, the utterly Unbelievable (yes, I'm using it!) world of Shigar Livin Bali. Consider this less a review, and more a love letter – a slightly frantic, caffeine-fueled love letter – to an Indonesian paradise that really, REALLY tries to get it right. And mostly, it does.
The Vibe: A First Impression (because, let’s be honest, that's what matters!)
First, the name. "Unbelievable Shigar Livin Bali"? Okay, marketing team, I see you. It's a bit…much. But hey, they're laying it all out there, aren't they? And honestly, landing in Bali, desperate for a cocktail and a decent shower, that's exactly the kind of hyperbole you want to be true. The exterior? Pretty standard Bali chic. Lush greenery, a glimpse of the pool peeking through… promises, promises.
Getting In (Accessibility and That Crucial First Step)
Okay, let's be upfront. This isn't the most accessible place I've ever seen. While they list "Facilities for disabled guests" their details are… a little thin. Elevators are present (thank the gods, considering how hot it is), but I didn't see specific mentions of ramps or other mobility aids everywhere. (SEO tip: Shigar Livin, PLEASE clarify on your website exactly what access you provide!). I did see the exterior walkways, which, let's be honest, are pretty straightforward, but a clearer description is imperative. Airport transfer is offered (which, blessedly, I didn’t have to navigate!), so that’s a big plus.
Once inside? That's where things get interesting. Let's just say that the reception does give off the impression of being accessible. So bonus points for the first impression.
The Good Stuff – Pure Bliss (and Maybe a Few Rough Edges):
- Rooms: Your Personal Oasis. I snagged a non-smoking, high-floor room with a window that actually opens (a lifesaver for this claustrophobe!). The air conditioning, thank the heavens, worked like a CHAMP. The bed? Extra long, and oh-so-comfy. Blackout curtains? Essential for those jet-lagged mornings and late-night sunset cocktails. The bathroom… private, clean, and with a separate shower and bathtub. Now, the bathtub…wasn't the fanciest, but hey, I'm writing this from the bathtub… and honestly, the hot running water is a victory in itself. Amenities? Coffee/tea maker, free bottled water, robes, slippers… all the little things that make you feel pampered. And yes, free Wi-fi in all rooms! (and it worked!). I needed internet – a lifesaver in any emergency.
- Spa Day, Baby! (Because, Bali!) Okay, this is where Unbelievable Shigar really lives up to its name. I opted for the full Monty: body scrub, body wrap, massage, the works. The spa itself is… zen. Soft music, dimmed lighting, the gentle scent of frangipani in the air. The massage? Pure, unadulterated bliss. The masseuse worked out knots I didn't even know I had. Seriously, I almost drooled on the table. They have a sauna (which, admittedly, I skipped because of the whole Bali humidity thing – I'm already melting!). And they definitely have a pool with a view. Not a bad spa - and the prices were pretty good. This is an experience I'd go back for.
- Food: Asian, International, and Everything In-Between (with minor hiccups). The breakfast buffet? Standard stuff, but the Asian options were definitely worth the effort. There was even a vegetarian section. I tried the "a la carte" restaurant once, and while the food was good, the service was a bit… slow. (Hey, it's Bali, they're on island time!). The poolside bar was my favorite, especially during the happy hour. The cocktails were strong and refreshing. I did, however, notice a slight lack of "alternative" meal arrangements if you have specific dietary requirements. (SEO Tip: Shigar Livin, consider expanding your menu options and highlighting them more!).
- Keeping It Clean (and Safe-ish). Okay, this is important. They take cleanliness seriously. Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. Staff wearing masks. Daily disinfection of common areas. They also use anti-viral cleaning products. They even offer "rooms sanitized between stays," which makes you feel a little safer. The "Shared stationery removed" detail? A bit of a non-issue, I think.
The "Meh" Moments (because perfection is boring):
- Internet (And Its Quirks). Yeah, the free Wi-Fi in the room? Awesome. But in the public areas? There were moments of "what is the connection?" and "does this even work?" I was ready to gnaw my fingernails off. (SEO Tip: seriously improve wifi speed!).
- The Gym: A Bit Underwhelming. While they boast a fitness center, it's not exactly a state-of-the-art facility. Enough to get a basic workout in, but don't expect any fancy equipment.
- Service Speed: It's Relaxed. Bali isn't exactly renowned for its breakneck service. If you're in a hurry, you might get frustrated. Especially with the pool bar service. It's a slow walk.
Things To Do and Ways to Relax (and, occasionally, get a little lost):
- The Pool: Instagram-Worthy. The swimming pool is a beaut. Infinity edge, crystal-clear water, and a view that'll make your followers jealous. Definitely worth mentioning.
- Massage, Massage, Massage (and more). I've mentioned the spa, but it bears repeating. Go. Get a massage. End of story.
- Exploring (and Finding a Shrine!). Okay, there's a shrine on site. I was wandering around the grounds (getting a little lost, but the landscaping is nice), and BAM! A small, lovely shrine. This is the Bali experience - a taste of the culture.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A World Tour of Your Taste Buds:
- Restaurants (more of them!). Several restaurants. Good variety. The "happy hour" is awesome. I liked the "a la carte" restaurant. I could eat the salad every day.
- Breakfast: Buffet Dreams. The breakfast buffet? It was okay. A solid start to your day. The Asian breakfast was a big plus.
Services and Conveniences: What Makes a Stay Easier:
- 24-Hour Everything (Kinda). Front desk, room service… nice to know it's available.
- Cashless Payment (Hallelujah!). Essential now.
- Concierge. Helpful… when you could find them.
- Laundry Service and Dry Cleaning. A blessing, especially if you're backpacking.
For the Kids (and Families):
- Family-Friendly, yes. But not overly geared toward kids. No specific kids' clubs or giant playgrounds. Babysitting service is listed, but I didn’t use it.
Getting Around (and Not Getting Stranded):
- Airport Transfer: A Must. Because the airport chaos in Bali is real.
- Car Park (On-Site, Free): Always a bonus.
- Taxi Service: Available.
The Verdict: Unbelievable Shigar Livin Bali - Worth It?
So, is Unbelievable Shigar Living Bali truly "unbelievable"? Well, it's not perfect. The service can be a bit patchy. Wi-Fi sometimes disappears. Accessibility could be clearer. But…the rooms are fantastic. The spa is DIVINE. The pool is gorgeous. The location? Convenient. And the overall vibe is… relaxing. It's a place where you can let your hair down (or at least, try to) and actually unwind.
My Verdict: YES, book it. But temper those expectations just a tiny bit.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the delicious, chaotic mess that is my Bali adventure, specifically in the magical, mystical, and gloriously Instagrammable Shigar Livin! This ain't your perfectly curated travel blog, this is the unfiltered truth, folks. Prepare for tangents, questionable decisions, and the inevitable sunburn.
Shigar Livin' Shenanigans: A Bali Brain-Dump Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and the Allure of… the Pool Boy?
- Morning (or as close to morning as my jet lag allows): After a grueling flight (curse you, cramped leg room!), finally, Bali! Touchdown Denpasar. Immigration was… slow. Like, “watching paint dry” slow. But hey, the airport smoothies were decent. Then, the transfer to Shigar Livin. The driver, bless his heart, was a maniac. I swear, he was playing Mario Kart in rush hour traffic. But we made it!
- Lunch: First impressions of Shigar Livin? WHOA. The photos didn't lie. Pristine white walls, the infinity pool practically begging to be swum in. I did so immediately! Ordered Nasi Goreng, which was amazing… but, I digress.
- Afternoon: Pool Time and Initial "Wow" Moment: Okay, the pool. Can we talk about the pool? It's the epitome of chill. Floating around, the sun kissing my skin, a Bintang in hand… pure bliss. And the pool boy? Well, let’s just say he was exceptionally attentive. "Sir, can I bring you another coconut juice?" (He's got a cute accent. Shut Up, I'm on vacation.)
- Evening: Sunset and Cultural Overload…Maybe Too Much? Sunset at the infinity pool was the perfect start. I joined a tour which was supposed to involve a traditional Balinese welcome and dance. I was already feeling hungry, tired and as soon as the music started I was hit with a wave of "Oh my god what did I just signed up for?" I'm being honest, the traditional dancing was a bit… much. My attention span tanked at minute 10 and I just ended up staring off into the sunset. Ended up eating a delicious dinner at the hotel restaurant, feeling a bit overwhelmed with my first taste of the "real" Bali.
Day 2: The Rice Paddies, The Monkey's, and My Wallet's Tragedy
- Morning: Rice paddies! I'd seen the photos, of course, but seeing them in person? Breathtaking. Seriously, emerald green staircases carved into the hills. Took a zillion photos (basic, I know). Then, the driver took me to a craft market with a HUGE sign that said "NO SALES TAX". I looked, I looked, and I look. I ended up buying way too many Sarongs, I think I spent almost 50 thousand Indonesian Rupiahs on them.
- Afternoon: Monkey Forest Mayhem: The Ubud Sacred Monkey Forest. The warnings are real! These monkeys are brazen. They will steal your snacks, your sunglasses, your joy. I did not listen. I had an open bag of banana chips. Disaster. One monkey lunged, grabbed the whole bag, and scampered up a tree, munching away while giving me the evil eye. Lesson learned: respect the monkeys, or the monkeys will disrespect YOU. I tried to recover with a nice cup of coffee, which led me down a rabbit hole of overspending again…
- Evening: Cooking Class Catastrophe… and Redemption?: Tonight was the cooking class! My first time, excited! We made spring rolls, chicken satay, and some other stuff. I cut myself while chopping veggies. I almost set the kitchen on fire. The good part? I'm not sure whether it was my own clumsiness, the instructor's kindness, or maybe a little bit of both, but my food surprisingly didn't taste too horrendous!
Day 3: Beach Bliss and a Lesson in Bargaining (and Humility)
- Morning: Off to a beach! The sand was white, the water turquoise, the surf… kinda scary. I’m not the strongest swimmer. Spent most of the morning paddling in the shallows, clutching my float, and trying not to be swallowed by a rogue wave.
- Afternoon: Bargaining in a local market. I thought I was a pro! So I think I was being a bit too proud of myself, because things didn't go too well. I wanted a bracelet, the vendor wanted 200,000 rupiah. I started at 50,000 and the haggling continued for far too long. Eventually, I settled on 120,000. As I walked off, feeling smug, a little girl next to me sold one bracelet for 50,000. Ouch. Humility, check.
- Evening: More pool time, some thinking and realization that I need to get back to reality soon. I'm still enjoying Bali.
Day 4: Farewells and Future Fantasies
- Morning: The last breakfast at Shigar Livin. A final swim in the pool, a final coconut juice. I’m going to miss this place. The peace. The beauty. The attentive pool boy (He winked at me. Or maybe I imagined it. Doesn’t matter).
- Afternoon: Farewell, Bali! The airport, the long flight home, a return to the grind. It was a journey, a beautiful, messy journey. I'll be back, Bali. You've got a hold on me.
- Evening: Back home. Jet-lagged, slightly sunburnt, and with a backpack full of sarongs and a heart full of memories. And dreaming of the next adventure… maybe a return to Shigar Livin? Perhaps. Or maybe I'll just send the pool boy a postcard. (Okay, maybe not.)
Note: This itinerary is fluid. It's subject to spontaneous changes based on mood, impulse, and the availability of Bintangs. Enjoy the ride!

Unbelievable Shigar Livin Bali: Your Indonesian Paradise Awaits! (Honestly, Maybe)
Okay, so... Unbelievable Shigar Livin Bali? What's the *deal*? Is it ACTUALLY unbelievable?
Alright, let's be real. "Unbelievable" is a *bold* claim. Look, Bali is stunning. Seriously, pictures don't *quite* do it justice. But "unbelievable"? You know what's unbelievable? Finding a decent cup of coffee sometimes. And the traffic. Oh, the traffic! Shigar Livin? It's a villa, a place. I’d call it… *pretty darn good*, maybe? It's a carefully curated experience, that much is true. Think Instagram-worthy infinity pools and breezy, flowy outfits. But don't expect untouched, raw adventure. It’s polished. My verdict? Go in with expectations managed. You’ll still probably be blown away. But “unbelievable”? Let’s just say I haven't seen enough aliens to *prove* that. *Wink.*
Is the food as amazing as they say? I'm seriously craving nasi goreng already...
The food? Okay, *now* we're talking. The nasi goreng in Bali... oh, sweet mother of all things delicious. Forget everything you think you know about "fried rice." It's smoky, spicy, and piled high with a fried egg. At Shigar Livin, they definitely put effort into the food. They bring in a local chef, that’s a plus! We had a private cooking class one day and the learning curve… was not steep! The flavors are intense, fresh, and make you want to weep delicious tears. Seriously. I might have gained five pounds. Totally worth it. There was this one tiny warung (local restaurant) right down the road? The mie goreng there? Heaven. Pure, unadulterated heaven. Go, eat, and *live*. Just… maybe bring some antacids. Or maybe that's just me. ;)
Tell me about the villas. Are they as luxurious as the pictures suggest?
The villas... yes, they're pretty darn fancy. Think sleek lines, enormous bathtubs (seriously, you could swim in some of them), and private plunge pools. The one we stayed in, it had this insane outdoor shower. It was the best thing in the world, until the geckos... one of them fell on me. I nearly had a heart attack! But the views? Unreal. You're surrounded by lush greenery. You wake up to the sound of birds...and the faint rumble of scooters. Okay, maybe not the latter. It's peaceful. Mostly. The staff is beyond attentive. Seriously, they're like ninjas of hospitality. They anticipate your needs before you even *know* you have them. Though, be warned, getting used to being waited-on *every* minute of every day is a dangerous game. You will *not* want to go back to real life.
What's the Wi-Fi like? I need to stay connected (unfortunately).
Ah, the modern dilemma. Wi-Fi. It's Bali. It's improving, but don't expect blazing speed everywhere. At Shigar Livin, it's generally pretty decent. Good enough for emails, social media, the occasional video call to make your friends jealous (hah! Take that, Sarah!). But if you're planning on streaming entire seasons of something or need to upload massive files... yeah, maybe lower those expectations a smidge. Some of the smaller villas might have a little less reliable connection. Embrace the digital detox, maybe? Or, like me, just accept the moments of buffering and keep refreshing Instagram.
Are there any hidden costs or extra charges I should be aware of?
Always, *always* ask about hidden costs! Seriously, it’s a must. With Shigar Livin, they're pretty upfront...but, you know... Bali. The obvious ones are usually included, but you'll still have to pay for things like excursions (temple visits, surfing lessons, the whole shebang), spa treatments (trust me, you *need* that Balinese massage), and, obviously, alcohol. Then there's the tipping. It's not *mandatory*, but it's definitely expected. And the laundry! They do it, but it’s not free and it adds up! And the airport transfer? Usually charged. And the little trinkets you'll buy at the markets. And the extra Bintangs you’ll drink at sunset. (Can't live without those!) So, factor in a buffer for the extras. My advice? Budget a little more than you think you need. Because, hey, you’re in Bali. Treat yourself!
What's the location like? Is it close to everything?
Location, location, location! Shigar Livin Villas can be placed in varying locations. It's close to some beaches, but some of the more remote villas might require a motorbike or a taxi to get out. It depends on the specific villa you book, remember to ask! It's generally a bit removed from the super-touristy, party-hard areas, which is a definite plus, if that's what you're after. You'll probably need transport (a scooter is the most fun!) to explore further afield. The traffic can be a NIGHTMARE, though. It's a constant game of chicken and honking horns. So, plan your trips accordingly. And avoid rush hour, assuming you can figure out *when* rush hour actually is. Oh! And be careful about the dogs... they’re everywhere and you can’t always tell if they're friendly or not.
Tell me about the service. Is it good?
The service. Ah, the service. This is where Shigar Livin *really* shines. The staff is incredible. Seriously, they are so attentive! They’re friendly and helpful. You'll be greeted with smiles, cold towels, and welcome drinks that taste suspiciously like you've just gone to heaven. I mean, sometimes the language barrier comes into play, and you might ask for something and get a very *different* thing. And on one occasion, they were a little slow on the room service (I was *starving*!). But, aside from that, they’ll do everything they can to make your stay amazing. They'll organize tours, book spa appointments, and even help you navigate the local customs. They were super-patient with me attempting to bargain at the market – I'm a terrible bargainer, honestly. I ended up paying more than I should have, but they really tried with me! It's the kind of service that makes you feel pampered and relaxed. It's a big part of what makes the whole experience so lovely.
What's the best thing about Shigar Livin, in your opinion?
