Ayung Resort Ubud

This was in my opinion the best resort I have ever stayed in. Our villa was exceptional, the whole resort was quiet and relaxing. The Spa was fantastic and the food was amazing.

We loved everything about this resort! From the beautiful caring, friendly and professional staff who go above and beyond to be kind and helpful, to the 5-star restaurant with delicious food and outstanding service was delightfully amazing! Staff drive you in a golf buggy to and from your room at any time. The traditional Villas were so beautiful with all the detailed wood carvings and are comfortable and roomy with a lovely big bathroom, comfortable bed and good sized pool with great views of the forest surroundings (and monkeys that sometimes pass by!). Everything was easy to get to and arrange, and the staff made our stay exceptionally wonderful with nothing being too much trouble. We would definitely return again and highly recommend staying here in this wonderful, beautiful place

The rooms were exactly as shown in the photos. They were spacious but cleanliness could have been better. The staff is very courteous and prompt. Food at the restaurant is excellent. The location is beautiful but far away from main city. they have shuttle arrangements though.

We absolutely loved the staff, their amazing hospitality and the stunning setting. They live by their mantra "Making the impossible possible." We also loved the beautiful spotted deer, Kingfisher birds, and visits by the wild monkeys. We very much appreciated their eco focus too. Mini bar (coke, milo, coffee, milk, Oreos, Pringle's, water), breakfast and afternoon tea were included. On the mornings we had to leave before the restaurant opened, they had breakfast boxes and juice packed up and ready to go. The chefs are exceptional - delicious satay ayam and soft shelled crab. Delicious all you can eat breakfast ordered off the menu. Amazing coffee. Wonderful selection of local treats for afternoon tea. The Balinese set menu dinner offered twice a week was a real treat. The staff are all extremely knowledgeable about the history of the hotel, etc. Exquisite spa centre with a comprehensive selection of treatments which were well priced in comparison to Australia. The laundry service was exceptional and the pricing so reasonable it wasn't worth going outside. I can't say enough about the staff, their beautiful natures, engaging and joyful attitudes - they made every day more special.

The dining room views and aspect were amazing. As the bifold all gass doors were permanently open, one could sit inside the restaurant and still feel close to the tropical environment. Alternatively one could sit on the outside narrow verandah with just the railings between you and the most amazing views accros the valleys and the forest areas. The choices for breakfast were more than adequate and as a complimentary, eat all you can gesture, I think that the food was a very good and wholesome. Likewise the service and politness of the staff was above and beyond. The dining room was very clean with ample sized tables spaced apart to give the feeling of space and not being cramped or crowded. Table placings were good with nice cutlery, plates, cups and glasses. The choices were wide and interesting with options for all our tastes. There was a good mix of asian, balinese and european foods. The quality of the dinner meals was truly surprising, very nicely displayed with very interesting flavours and extremely tasty . They have an extensive drinks menu and downstairs a dedicated drinks cellar showcasing a very impressive collection of wines and spirits from which one can choose. The staff were so, so polite and attentive. I really cannot overstate how much I appreciated the staff's welcoming attitude. Its a small point, but they remembered our names from the first day we arrived. We did eat in Ubud and although some might argue that the cost there would be a bit cheaper than Ayung's restaurant, in my opinion there would be no comparison in the quality of service and food between the two. As a result we ate here 4 days out of 5. Furthermore, without paying double or triple the cost in the UK, I would not be able to tell you where you could get the same quality and value for money.
