Kamandalu Ubud

We stayed for 3 nights in a one bedroom deluxe pool villa which was very spacious and had a good sized pool. The villa was fully serviced in the morning but in the evening, it was a quick few minute visit to turn down the bed and leave a biscuit on the bed - they did not replace used towels or empty bins of an evening. The villa rate included breakfast which was served in Petulu restaurant. The food choices were good. We had an Indonesian set meal one evening in this restaurant and that was very good with excellent service. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The exterior of our pool villa was on several levels and had a large pavilion daybed on the upper deck and two sunbeds on a lower deck next to the pool. The pool wasn't heated and was a bit chilly for us so we only had one quick dip during our stay. We could have had our breakfast served in our room but since we were so far away from the restaurant, we thought it would be cold by the time it arrived so we went to the restaurant each day for breakfast. The hotel runs a complimentary limited hourly shuttle service into Ubud centre which can take from 10-35 minutes depending on traffic and road diversions. There are lots of shops and restaurants in Ubud centre and it is certainly worth a visit. The hotel offers a range of chargeable activities and dining options such as lunch or breakfast in a rowing boat on their lagoon or breakfast with sparkling wine served on a floating tray in your pool. There is a complimentary yoga session each morning or other paid activities include a Balinese cookery class, village trekking, rice paddy walk, guided bicycle tour, bird watching or a guided morning walk to a temple. There is also a spa. Guests staying in pool villas are allowed access to the village club. This was a nice air conditioned room where they had comfortable seating and some newspapers and magazines and complimentary computer access. They served complimentary tea and coffee throughout the day and you were allowed a maximum of two soft drinks from a limited selection. They also had a very limited range of snacks and you were allowed one cocktail each evening between 6-8pm from a limited list. We ordered the same cocktail on each evening during our three night stay and the quality was very variable - the first night it was watery with almost no liquor content but by the third night, the barman who made our drink did us a great cocktail. Overall the village club was very disappointing in terms of its restricted complimentary food and drink compared with so many other hotels we have stayed at, especially since we paid £435 per night for B&B at Kamandalu. We did get a complimentary mini bar in our room that is only supplied on the day you check in and not replenished during your stay. The minibar contained a couple of tins of beer, about 4 cans of soft drink and a few bottles of sparkling and still water. There were tea and coffee making facilities provided and supplies were replenished daily during the morning room service. Was this hotel good value for money - definitely not as we booked their top of the range one bedroom villa. I think it would be better to book a basic room by the lagoon and use the main pool at the hotel which was warmer as it was a large water expanse with lots of direct sun on it.

Shy to write a review about this place as it would be sad for it to get too busy & loose its charm. Get the Experience Package and add on Cooking School. Was a perfect get away & chance to experience the resort & Balinese service/food. Lovely calm setting, pleasant staff. My only complaint would be spotty wifi; having to keep logging on in different locations... only because i had to do some work, but otherwise would have preferred to be off the radar. Breakfast included was amazing for taste & selection, and if something wasn't there, we asked & it arrived. Fruit juices, fruit, Balinese food, etc... YUM! Yoga in the morning was breath-taking. Don't forget the rice field cycling tour as part of the package! We will be back, next time with pool villa...

여기�서 신혼여행 마지막 �틀� 보냈어요. 체�� 하고 바로 애프터눈티 하러 갔습니다.후기를 보고 애프터눈티 메뉴�� 있는걸 알고 갔는� 계� 없다고 하�니 결국 가져다 줘서 ��분� 태�� 약간 실�했습니다...까만달루로 가기 전 다른 호텔 세 곳�서 머물다 왔는� 그 전 숙소들� 서비스가 너무 좋아서 그런지 잘 못 선�했나 ��� 들었어요.. 다행히 다른 ��분들 모� 친절하고 방� 나�지 않았습니다. 그리고 � 아��� 아� �반 하시는 분들� 수�장 조심해야 할 것 같아요... �� � 깊어지는 �� 수�장�� 밤� 칵테� 주문하고 기다리면서 모르고 뒤쪽으로 헤엄쳤는� 급 발� 안닿으서 죽�뻔하다 나왔네요~ㅎㅎ We stayed here for our honeymoon. after check in the room we went to the Afternoon tea area. The worker said they don’t have manu for Afternoon tea but we knew they have it from reviews. So i keep asked her then she said they don’t have it for 3times anyway finally she gave us the Afternoon tea menu. we stayed 3hotels(nusadua, seminyak,ubud) before move to KAMANDALU. other hotels were everything good so little bit disappointed from the service. Fortunately other services and room was good ~

amazed by this place and the scenery. for those who crave for instagram picture spot, this is definitely places for you guys. from stunning red bridge, swing, infinity pool. and if you have extra budget you should book their afternoon tea by boat.

We stayed at Kamandalu for 5nights and had the best time. The hotel is great, they have a large numbers of activities, the forest spa is incredible. The staff is very polite and have looked after us very well! Thank you so much!
