The location of this hotel has to be seen to be believed. Situated down a quiet side-road, it is a short ride from the traffic and bustle of Ubud town but a million miles away in its ambience. On one side is a steep-sided, tree-covered river valley and on the other views over terraced rice fields. The grounds are green and lush, well maintained without being too formal and full of birds, insects and lizards. At the riverside resteraunt and nearby spa you could be in the middle of the jungle - well, you pretty much are!
We had a very good, spacious room with an excellent bathroom; the villas looked nice too. Good mixture of guests - perhaps not ideal for younger children though. First-class facilities: free internet access, library, infinity pools, bar. And outstanding customer service! They noted from my passport that it was my birthday during our stay, and on the day a cake and some flowers were sent to our room. Real attention to detail that makes the difference.
Not the cheapest, but great value for money. I'd go back tomorrow.
