It is away from Ubud city, however, the hotel has a really relaxing atmosphere and all staff are very caring. If you are wanting to relax, this is the place for you. Even if you like to go shopping, shuttle bus is available. Also it's easy to hire a taxi in Ubud.
We joined yoga class where class was held outside near the waterfall in fresh morning air. Just listening waterfall made me very relaxed and away from home. We accidentally joined staff yoga class on the first day, staff were very welcome us to join them.
We had to use hotel pool as we had a garden villa. However, the hotel pool was also like private pool for us most of the time as there were not many guests this time of year. Hotel pool is much nicer with mountain and river view in open space.
We found that some restaurants in Ubud were more expensive than hotel restaurant. I think that the hotel has decent price for drinks and meals. Of course, meal at the hotel was nice too.
Overall, the hotel can give you a lot of choices either staying at hotel to relax or going out to Ubud for shopping and dining out.
I would definitely come back to stay here again.
