What a beautiful resort!!! We were so impressed by the payogan villas, including staff. They were so proud of their resort and rightly so. I think it has to be the best resort we have ever stayed at. Our photos of the room looked exactly the same as the brochures. Relaxing in our own private infinity pool overlooking the jungle valley is something I could definately get used to. Enjoying high tea every afternoon ( I have never been anywhere where they do that) was just one of the many little touches the payogan puts on just to add to your experience, the cross every t and dot every i, there is no better way to say it. If you want a relaxing, romantic holiday this is definately a place you need to check out.

We stumbled across Suly Resort quite by accident, but are really glad we stayed. The hotel is a 5 minute drive out of town, which we preferred as Ubud centre is pretty noisy. The resort itself is a little dated, as its rather extravagent design hasnt been maintained through the years. However, the rooms were very clean, and the service was excellent. The newly opened organic restaurant that serves 3 meals a day is fantastic, amazing food and inexpensive. The resort is home to many underpriveleged 16-18 yr olds who get the opportunity to live-in, attend school, and also gain work-based training in hospitality to set them up for their future. We volunteered to teach an English class one morning which was great fun for us as much as the students. We also attended the free yoga class each morning with qualified instructors from round the world. The resort offers creative classes, such as cooking, painting and wood carving. there is also a health spa which we didnt have time to check out! In all, we really enjoyed our experience and would have loved to stay for another week or so to get more involved in the resort's activities, and to work our way through the menu!!

This is one of the best resorts I have stayed in. Even though the location is not in central or downtown Ubud, the service is impeccable and makes the 45 minute downtown worth it. The resort has daily yoga classes in a beautiful pavilion overlooking serene scenery, and daily guided walks through the neighborhood. I would recommend the Uma to anyone who wants a fabulous resort experience.

If one wants to choose the best place for a honeymoon or plan a once in a lifetime experience vacation in Bali, you would be very happy to have chosen to stay of Natura Resort in Ubud. This is my dream vacation. I chose wisely and Natura Resort is beyond my expectations. The staff are all friendly, welcoming, accommodating and would go out of your way to help any of your needs. The restaurant food is delicious and as good as any restaurant or better than in town. When I had a stomach problem from eating downtown Ubud, I stayed in my villa for one day. The concierge called to see how I was feeling when I called the restaurant for a special order of rice porridge and a slice of banana bread and fruit. The next day a fresh flower tropical arrangement was delivered by the resort. There are fresh pool of flowers displayed in the restaurant every morning. Glorious. They provide a shuttle to the downtown Ubud daily ,so convenient, and taxis are easily found if you stay later past 10 pm in the evening. The cost of a taxi is very reasonable and easily found. The hotel is secluded and peaceful. The resort also have areas in the resort for mediation and sitting and doing your morning yoga stretching. Very peaceful, tranquil and rejuvenating. You would not be disappointed. My villa was very clean and the canopy king size bed is draped and surrounded by cloths. I felt like a princess sleeping . Deluxe villa with a very large room/ marble bathtub and shower with picture windows perched above the gorge below. Trees trees trees, scenic, and relaxing, peaceful with sound of running stream. I went out daily to the attached deck where there is a table w/ chairs romantic or private meals or just reading during the day. I had a wonderful, healing massage at the resort. One walks down the stairs to the bottom and there is large open air hut. One can hear the stream of water , the smell of incense and oils greet you . The massage is excellent and the flowered hot bath rejuvenating and delightful. Great for a honeymoon couple or a healing rejuvenation experience. It is one of the best massages that I have ever had. There is a wonderful infinity swimming pool which was empty during most of my week stay. I went in December, off season, It did not rain 4 days of my stay and only in the early mornings. The showers were only for a few hours. Bring walking shoes and enjoy the warm weather. I found several organic restaurant restaurants and a wonderful live jazz club. I hope to return Natura Resort next year to visit this welcoming city of Ubud. One can spend a few days or several weeks there and feel right at home. Thank you to the staff of Natura Resort for making me my vacation so very special. Dont forge tot visit the Bird Park and go to the Balinese Dancing out of town near a school, and the Monkey Mask makers in Mas. For adventures, Elephant ride or zip ride through the forests. . A private tour driver for one day is very reasonable in Bali Only $45-55 US includes gas tour, their lunch. and tips which lasts for 5 to 6 hours. Shorter group tours are available for less. You can also schedule a cooking class thru the concierge and meet go to local farmer’s market and share enjoy a wonderful balinese meals. There are backroad tours for bicycle enthusiasts such as Bali Eco cycling. One can also contact local healer by contacting: Clear Cafe, Three Monkeys Cafe on Monkey Forest Road Ubud Live Jazz at the Jazz Cafe Bali ( dancing there too) Enjoy.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel manager dropped us off at the town when no one was available. I had bought a wooden ststue eslwhere but he took the trouble to go out of his way to get it polished. The rooms were clean and always made up when we come back from our trips out. thebeautiful and scenic environment was relaxing. I would certainly stay at this hotel and recommend Bhanuswari resort and spa to friends. thanks to all the friendly and courteous staff!

I'm loathed to write what I really think in this review in case the hotel becomes so popular and I can't book next time I'm in Ubud. It is simply stunning - the villas, 29 of them (all with private pools and pagoda day beds) are totally gorgeous. We stayed in a Garden Pool Villa which had an amazing outdoor sunken bath surrounded by a fish pond, outdoor and indoor shower and a super comfortable bed. The hotel is about a 10 minute drive into the centre of Ubud and has a suttle bus that picks up and puts down guests hourly. We were in Ubud to do yoga at the Yoga Barn and it's a 5 minute drive away which was very convenient. The staff are warm and friendly. The resort manages to provide a high class facilities but is still in keeping with all things Bali. We loved it and will definitely be back.

A perfect small resort a short car ride from Ubud. Great to be able to relax in such beautiful surroundings during the day and travel into Ubud for a meal at one of the great restaurants. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Villa was spacious and totally comfortable. Would recommend it unreservedly.

We highly recommend the Puri Sunia Resort in Abangan next to Ubud. We stayed there for one week as a family of four (with two kids: 8 und 15 years old). The beautiful rooms, the swimming pool, the wonderful breakfast und and the very helpful, friendly staff made it a pleasure to stay there. The Morning Yoga sessions, the Rice Field Trekking, the handcraft hour, and High Tea are complementary. Wellness, e.g., massage at the Spa are worth the money.We enjoyed our stay at Puri Sunia very much. The Resort is about 10 minutes by car from Ubut and the free shuttle bus service made it easy to reach this spot. To be more independent you can rent a car or a motorcycle or a bycicle to make a tour of your own. The Resort also offers tours with a car and a driver to explore the temples etc. The Puri Sunia Resort is brand new, opend 4 months ago, and is designed in a Balinese style with natural materials in combination with western amenities like the showers and the bathtube. We and our kids would like to come again and stay at this peaceful Resort.
