This hotel is tucked a bit out of the way in rural Bali, about 20 minutes drive from Ubud. That makes it a quiet and relaxing location, but you do need to travel by car or bike to get anywhere, it is not close to anything. The staff are very nice and friendly, and helpful. The food on premises is good but not great. The drinks, and especially the wine, are VERY expensive, but I found this to be the case all over Bali. The room was very comfortable, but it had some minor technical problems such as poor shower drain (slow). The large swimming pool which extends into individual room embayments, is nice but rather cold, and too shallow for much serious swimming. The tour prices are not too bad but can be found cheaper in Ubud. The spa is outrageously expensive for Bali; you are much better advised to book at one of many nice Ubud spas.
