After spending 4 great nights at the W Seminyak, I was wondering why I'd left. The speculation lasted about 10 minutes after arriving, however, and never returned.

it is not stuffy, it is not hippy. it is hugely original, committed to its green cause, and a great experience. Forget the stuffiness and theatrical experience of a 4 seasons... this is the real deal. You will have an authentic ubud experience and truly feel integrated into the local culture, giving an insiders view that few hotels have managed... More
