The Y Resort is a new, modern accomodation, the rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are beautiful (either a shower or bath, we had a bath which was huge!) If you are looking for an authentic Balinese experience this is not the place, as it is quite modern, but we were looking for budget friendly accomodation and were very impressed. Rooms have satelitte tv (but no dvd, however there is a dvd in the lounge), minibar, safe, wifi etc. (The wifi can be a bit slow in peak times, we found early to mid morning best) There is also a public computer with internet in the lounge. The resort has a spa (which we didnt use, as it was more expensive than the spa's in Ubud) and a simple restaraunt which serves a generous breakfast from 7.30am - 11am. We went at varying times, early and late, but food was always available. Dinner and drinks at the resort are a little pricey, but again, it isnt far to Ubud. There is a large infinity pool onsite which is kept very clean.
The resort offers a free shuttle every 2 hours to anywhere in Ubud (standard drop off is the palace), or at other times for 10,000Rp per person. The pick up can be a little bit hit and miss (they forgot us three times) but a free call can be made to the resort from the tourist information across from the palace, so its not a big problem, just a few minutes extra to wait. Its also a fairly easy walk to and from the resort to town, we mainly walked, it takes about 15 minutes and is quite scenic, but a good idea to have a torch for walking at night as the road is narrow in places.
On the same stretch of road as the resort there are several warungs, and a funky new bar next door, all of which do great food and reasonable drinks.
Airport transfers are available from the resort, as are transfers to nearby villages, and these are quite reasonable. The laundry service is well priced and takes about 24hrs.
All in all we were very happy.
