Our visit was end February into early march, nearing end of rainy season, the rain is quickly over and it remains hot . Hotel is surrounded by nature and wildlife, secluded, stunning, special. We were doing a 3 centred holiday but we wished we had been staying at Alila for the whole duration. A feeling of peace comes over you here. Staff were amazing, attentive, gorgeous people. Breakfast is a healthy feast, meticulously prepared, displayed beautifully. The whole stay was a fabulous experience. Sad to leave. It is convenient for visiting places of interest . However, Ubud town is very busy, crazy traffic.I didn’t understand what people thought was so marvellous about it. The sacred monkey forest is wonderful. Don’t let warnings of being attacked by monkeys deter you. There are silly tourists trying to take selfies. Etc. If you respect animals they respect you.
