Komaneka at Tanggayuda

Wow, this is a very special place to stay outside of the hubbub of Ubud. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by jungle and the sounds of frogs, birds and geckos. We stayed in one of the Premier Valley Pool Villas that had a very spacious bedroom with a king bed, a desk and chair, a couch and coffee table, a cabinet with a mini fridge and fresh fruit, air conditioning control and sliding glass doors that opened out onto a deck. The deck had a table and two chairs, two lounge chairs and a lovely private pool overlooking the jungle. The bathroom was huge, with two sinks, lots of counter space and two different places for hanging clothing. There was a big indoor, as well as an outdoor, shower. Breakfast, which was included, offered both a big buffet as well as both Balinese and Western menu items. Also included was daily afternoon “tea” by the beautiful main pool which offered all kinds of sweet and savory snacks as well as coffee, tea and very good local rose wine. The food was delicious. The staff — at the front desk, in the restaurant, and around the grounds — was very warm, welcoming and responsive. When we mentioned to one of the staff that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, our room was decorated for the occasion! There was often live gamelan music being played in the dining room and plenty of invitations for us to join in various cultural activities. We watched the staff prepare the offerings for the annual festival of one of the Hindu goddesses and attended the ceremony at the hotel temple the following morning with the staff and the owners of the hotel. Overall, it was a very memorable four days.

what an amazing hotel this is. We arrived late Monday night on the 14th July. The hotel reception staff were all waiting on hand to greet us. Even chef Nkan was there with his personalised menu for our 2 week stay as my wife is allergic to wheat. Every single member of staff knew our names and room number. Nothing is too much trouble for them. We regularly ordered room service via the WhatsApp front desk service and we always got an immediate response. We originally had booked the premier valley suite, but after a few days realised this room didn't get any sun in the outside are so we asked to swap and was given the option to stay in various rooms until we found one we liked. Luckily the fist room we moved to (room 104) overlooking the front of the jungle was perfect for us. It had all day sun outside & also to pool was warm enough to use. We booked a romantic dinner and also the floating lunch. We highly recommend you try this. Well worth the money. Talking of money the hotel considering its 5* is very reasonably priced. If you want to plan some activities in Ubud, just tell the front desk and they can help plan your itinerary. they will suggest places to go & organise a driver for you. The hotel drivers speak perfect English and are more than happy to accompany you while you explore. The rooms where spotless. They are cleaned every morning & then in the evening they turn down the bed, close the curtains, change the towels and re stock the mini bar & complementary fruit & cookies. The room comes with everything you can need including things you don't expect. We had plug converters, mosquito spray for the room & also mosquito body spray. the inside & outside showers are stocked with shampoo, conditioner & body wash. We had an Iron & Ironing board. Lots of towels, We had 6 towels each, plus night gowns plus dressing downs & slippers. There's complimentary fruit & cookies that are restocked every day. There are also free activities. Yoga every morning at 7am and then around 2pm other activities such as how to write Balinese, how to make Balinese herbal drinks. In the evenings a couple of times a week there was Balinese dancing where you are encouraged to join in. I also got involved in helping out with the Balinese bamboo xylophone, there are a few of these dotted around the hotel. Our stay was magical and it was a real hard goodbye to the staff who had looked after us so well. We cant wait to come back. We cannot rate this hotel highly enough.

Lovely quiet retreat away from the too busy Ubud. Spent 4 nights here. Had room 117 which was a valley view pool room. Beautiful and spacious room with nice view , decent plunge pool and private garden. Room itself very well appointed. Outside bath hewn out of solid granite. Spacious lush grounds and decent gym. One of the 3 swimming pools was being refurbished which was a shame as that one gets more sun during the day. Nice touches like afternoon tea and snacks provided FOC .Food really good with big choice . Limited wine menu. Only compliant we had is that when we ordered cocktails they would arrive at the same time as the meal instead of being pre dinner drinks. There is no separate bar as such and maybe they need one so guests could sit down for a pre or post dinner drink . Very quiet location. We were able to do excursions from the hotel although as Bali is do busy it often takes a long time to get anywhere. There is a regular shuttle bus to Ubud provided. Staff all very charming and helpful . We enjoyed the cultural evening with local food and Balinese dancing We were very happy with our stay!
