Lovely resort perfect 👍

Exceptionally lovely staff, like truly wonderful people took very good care of us. Hard to find a more friendly, caring and hospitable hoteliers. The buildings and grounds were impeccable. The food was a little flat but the service more than made up for it!

What a la Amazing hotel, worth the hype. Best hotel I’ve been to in Bali , better than both four seasons I’ve stayed in before! Service is amazing and the design of this hotel is a master piece! All villas with big pools, yoga in the morning - food is delicious! A dream stay

When we checked in at 6:22pm in the evening…a male lobby staff unenthusiastically greeted us and helped us check in and brought us to Villa 11. After explaining mini bars and the power control for the AC, he forgot to mention the complicated light switches, including the DND switch. So my husband and I went through all the eight physical switches in both the bedroom and bathroom, and figured out a somewhat lightless room for sleep. In the following day, we left the hotel around 4:30pm to go into Ubud city center with a local for dinner and drinks and we returned to our hotel around 10pm, where I picked up our door key from the lobby receptionist. As we opened the wooden doors in the villa entrance, we returned to a pitch-back villa. We thought we were burglarized but it was only because our room wasn’t turned down for the evening. Our bathroom was unkempt from daytime and the back spa room sliding door was wide open with bugs found in the bathroom. We immediately expressed our discontent and confusion to the manager on duty, after apologizing and giving us 6 pieces of canapés as a token of apology, we wined down the evening. The next morning after finishing our breakfasts, we saw the hotel manager greeting the couple sitting next to our table and chit-chatted about if the rooms were adequate to the guests, but he manges to skip our table, not sure if the evening manager on duty has relayed our ordeal in the precious night or not.

Simply wonderful if you can afford it. The real deal

This property is in a beautiful location & is good if you want to visit savaya but it’s 2 or 3 nights maximum but it does have major service issues: Clear shortage of staff in all front of house areas. Often waiting for someone to attend to you. Lack of recognisable reception or concierge really doesn’t help. Staff often confused if breakfast is or isn’t included. Also, Breakfast menu changes daily which clearly creates quality control issues in the food because a lot of the dishes are poorly conceived and executed. Worst breakfast I had in the 6 hotels I visited in Bali. Going back to basics with 2 or 3 daily specials would massively improve service, along with making it inclusive for all market's. We ordered two glasses of champagne for dinner, cold glasses turned up but champagne was over 15 minutes later and then total confusion between all 5 waiting staff what to do because they realised glasses were no longer cold. It took over 20 minutes to get 2 glasses of champagne. Staff vanished for over 15 minutes in the sunset bar, we just left without signing. What became obvious during my stay is the hotel has a lot of weddings & I think this leads to the staff shortages and quality issues. Everyone is trying to service the hotel & the wedding at the same time. Hotel just needs a new GM as the issues all come from the top. Staff clearly not well trained & organised. For reference, I stayed with a friend & we travel the world in the best 5 star hotels.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful resort. The team was so welcoming and ensured that we were comfortable throughout our stay. The food at both restaurants - cire & the warung - were fantastic.

Amazing venue. Staff were very friendly and appeared to be willing to help but unfortunately consistently under delivered. Apart from two staff the rest were unfortunately we’re very poorly trained. Unbelievably slow service - slowest I have ever experienced in Asia - a simple drink took 45 mins to arrive. 30 mins for a menu to arrive after sitting down at the restaurant. All of the wine was clearly kept poorly - flat champagne for example. Which is a shame as the quality of the food was excellent as was the accommodation, if a little tired. Simple basic training would go a long way and make this place worth the money. There are other cheaper places with better service next door.

The property is absolutely spectacular and we were treated with then utmost care. Randu took extra special care with us at breakfast which mad every morning that much better than the next. One feedback, property to look at increasing the experiences offered - aligned to their sustainability mission. Overall incredible and would absolutely recommend it!

It was a really good experience , far from the city, very calm and comfy with multiple stunning view. I recommend staying at this hotel part of your trip in bali as its slightly far from the city.
