We are looking at staying at Serene Villas in Seminyak, but the only way to pay is via bank transfer of $US to an account in Hong Kong in the name of the two owners. Everything else about the place looks legit, and there have been excellent reviews on Trip Advisor and this forum, but I would really prefer the security (and insurance) of a credit card payment.
Any advice about Serene Villas or the safety of bank transfers like this would be appreciated. Thanks.
