“Fabulous”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

As in all previous reviews, this place is amazing from the superb villas to the wonderful staff.

We stayed here during mid-October. We arrived in the evening at the airport and was picked up by the hotel shuttle. The ride was a bit long (about an hour) due to traffic but when we finally arrived we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. Our butler took us around to explain the premises and showed us our features in our villa. We had the hillside villa that allowed us to see the rice paddies and jungles. Extremely private and perfect for honeymooners.

The breakfast is one of the best we've ever had at this place. Truly enjoyed our mornings as we took in the amazing view of the rice fields.

Since the hotel is away from Ubud center, they do have complimentary shuttle service. All you have to do is set it up with the concierge in advance and you'll be good to go.

If you have the chance, do a spa treatment. Well worth the money and with the view of the Ayung River, it was so relaxing. Also, make sure to set up time to do an afternoon trek. This will give you a chance to tour the town and rice fields.

If we ever get a chance to come back, we would stay at Samaya again. The service was impeccable and again thank you to all the hotel staff. Our honeymoon was so memorable and wonderful because of your service.

“Brilliant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

The Samaya Ubud was brilliant. Like many guests,we were on honeymoon, but every couple was treated specially rather than delivery a bland common service to all.

We stayed in one of the Ayung villas which was fantatic, large, airy, modern with a few Balinese twists. The bed was comfortable. Large bathroom, inching shower and hot tub. The villa entrance and bath were decorated with beautiful flowers on arrival. The room has a mini bar, which was kept well stocked. We enjoy many of the snacks delivered to the room top. The only issue was the pool which was too deep to lounge in, the manager agreed and in the next refurb programme they are going to reduce the depth.

My wife is an absolute lover of spas, I've never been in one. We had a two hours couple massage and I have to say that it was fantastic.

The food was the best that we had in Bali, better than their sister property in Seminyak. The bread and pastries are asked on site, and also delivered to Seminyak. You could taste the difference between the cakes, pastries and breads served in Ubud v Seminyak - not quite as fresh. The restaurant food was superb - check out my other reviews.

All the staff were fantastic, our butler was brilliant.

Highly recommended. First class

“Elegant. Private. Perfect.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

One of the very best places we've stayed. After 5 days or terrific service, waking up to some of the best views of the rainforest and rice fields in Bali, terrific food and truly effortless, superlative service, my wife and I really regretted not having a trust fund that would enable us to stay there for months. Not that it's overly expensive. In fact for the world class experience it provides, it's a virtual bargain. We'd go back in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend it if you're staying in/near Ubud.

Room Tip: The hotel is on a steep hillside, so there are two choice: riverside and upper level. Riverside you...
