We arrived and our room overlooked the area where the elephants were grazing, the noise of them was so lovely. The room was comfortable and clean. The restaurant was very quiet for dinner we were the only ones in there. Great food though. Next day we woke up and had some breakfast and then went along to wash the elephants and swim with them. Lots of people had come for the activity only so it became really busy. In the evening we were taken to the restaurant on an elephant which collected us from our room, something amazing! We then went on a tour of the park and the guy then helped us spend some time with our elephant, taking photos with each of us. Such a memorable time for me as I love elephants. We also booked a helicopter ride to look at the local area, this facility is onsite and was fantastic! The elephants seemed really well cared for and are able to run free in the paddocks. We also went to Ubud for the day to the market which was quite an experience! We loved it and the kids loved the market.…
The Hotel/Lodge ist very nice. It’s clean and nicely kept. The gardens are beautiful. Our room had a view looking at the elephants. We spent 3 nights here (Christmas and a Birthday). The Team did a fantastic job helping me decorate for my husbands birthday. It was great! The only negative I have to add to our stay would be the food. I hope it’s due to the pandemic. Bali is full of great vegan and fresh food. Unfortunately the food here is ok. Nothing great and the breakfast choice was the worse we had in Bali. Outside of this, great place.
This was not part of our original plan for visiting Ubad but turned out to be a very good call. The drive is not too far from Denpasar and it passes the Jungle Swing and the majority of tourist attractions in the area. The service is extremely sufficient, the food and drinks are amazing and the scenery is beautiful. The rooms are very spacious and fitted out for luxury. We liked watching the sun go down over the rice paddies and enjoying the hot nights at the open air restaurant and bar. The buffet dinner is a must as it includes many local dishes and is cooked to perfection. The bar has a few cocktails that are exclusive to the venue and are amazing. PLEASE listen to staff when they explain where the animals are from and remember it is a RESCUE center.This venue is not government funded and they rescue elephants that would have been enslaved to work or would have died of starvation or worse. They are beautiful and majestic but they are still wild rescue animals. We think they do an amazing job (granted I don't work with animals) with limited space and limited funds. Please ask questions if you are concerned and don't jump to conclusions. We had an amazing once in a lifetime experience. We sat each night watching these giants sleep, swaying in the moonlight and serenading us with deep rumbling voices. Thank you to everyone there and we hope you continue with the good work.…
Learn so much about elephant from this place. Staffs were nice, helpful, and very friendly. Our guide explained alot about elephant. We were taking save now and stay later program. Got elephant bathe + washing jumbo + elephant ride. Really amazed by this place. They take care the elephants really well. The elephants were trained with gentle and care.
What a wonderful experience my girlfriend and I had this past weekend. The park and facilities are outstanding, the staff are wonderful and very helpful. The restaurant items were superb and delicious, far superior to many other restaurants in Bali. The elephants are incredible, gentle, happy, playful, healthy, and majestic intelligent creatures. The complimentary elephant ride from our room to the restaurant was so delightful. Bathing the elephants, swimming with them, feeding them was such a dream come true. I am truly humbled by their presence and gentle nature. The baby elephants are so cute and playful. It felt like we were staying at Jurassic Park with Elephants, the park layout is so well planned and beautiful. The rooms are excellent with incredible views of the park. Please note that this park treat the elephants humanely with integrity and caring. Disregard the negative reviews from uneducated guests, any questions you have the staff are there to help you understand the terrible circumstances from which these animals came from. Please support this fantastic sanctuary as CoVid has affected their ability to expand and grow. A special thanks to Brad, Ketut and Lenny for their extra special care and hospitality, it was an absolute pleasure being under your care!!…
