The Poppies Cottages Family

Many of the people who welcome guests to Poppies have been part of our story for decades, with some proudly serving for more than thirty years. Their experience and genuine warmth shape the feeling of familiarity that so many guests remember. We have more than 100 staff at Poppies. We can't show you all of them, but here are a few friendly faces you might recognise.

Gede, Putra and Made. Most holidays at Poppies begin with a friendly airport greeting from one of our three experienced drivers. They all do a wonderful job coping with today's traffic, and will get you safely along Poppies Lane, or around Bali on a day trip in style

One of our most talked about features is the swimming pool. Gus and Made Ali are the two lads who maintain it as well as taking care of swimmers and sunbathers
