Semawang Beach

This place is such a special little gem!!! The staff are absolutely wonderful! The rooms have this great boutique feel and are very clean and quiet. The little touches are everything there! Even the turn down service, which was completely unexpected but made it feel that much more special! If I ever return to Bali, this will absolutely be on my list of stays. The spa!!! I had two nights of services and both were splendid! The yoga studio is absolutely beautiful and had everything you could need, and kids of yoga mat options. Can't recommend this place enough!

Tejaprana was a small oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud. The property was beautiful and really provided a sense of calmness and serenity. I enjoyed the fact that there were a limited number of villas, so you never felt like things were crowded or too many people. The staff were excellent and cared for all your needs, all while remembering your name every time they saw you. Those small customer service offerings make a huge difference and really what I have come to expect when traveling in south east Asia. The only negative thing I can say is that there were a large number of gecko's and large black ants (that bite). I ended up with a gecko guest in my room half way through my visit and had the ants all over my patio/pool area which made it less enjoyable to relax out there. However I will say that when I mentioned this to the front desk, they very quickly dispatched someone to come spray the patio area using multiple treatments. Overall, that was a small inconvenience compared to how much I enjoyed the other elements of my stay. After all, it is a tropical/jungle area so our little insect creatures are to be expected. This was a solo trip for me and I absolutely can not wait to return to Bali.

Garcia was a fantastic stay, exquisite room kept immaculately clean each day. Staff at the hotel were so very polite, thoughtful and professional in the way they treat their guests. The location in Ubud was great, even though it is 7km from town the hotel offer a shuttle which made the daily visit to town a breeze. This was tue first stay in Ubud for us, after many Bali holidays, and feel completely satisfied with our decision to stay in Ubud, at the Garcia. Highly recommended.
