COMO Uma Ubud

My wife and I came here for 4 nights during our honeymoon. They location was beautiful in the forest. We stayed in a room with our own pool and it was awesome. It had a great view and it was so nice having our own pool. We never went to the shared pool because we enjoyed ours so much. The breakfast restaurant was really good and the staff there were so nice. Their Italian restaurant on site was great for dinner they had delicious food. We booked a bike tour through the resort and our guide was awesome and took us on a great bike tour. We got to see so much of Ubud. We also did a private cooking class and it was so much fun. Our chef was a great teacher and the food that we made was so delicious! Highly recommend doing this while you are there.

First of all I couldn’t resist the AI version review of the resort and yes although I agree with everything that is mentioned there, serenity, fantastic rooms, amenities, pools, gym, spa everything it mentioned agree 100%. Yet, AI didn’t elaborate on the biggest contributors to a wonderful stay in Uma By Como, its Staff, and the food! The UMA staff (“our UMA Family members” ) from check in to Pool Bar, Kemiri, gardeners, guards, house keeping, all other staff members, of course also @ Uma Cucina …. Literally everyone in the Resort is genuinely friendly and so attentive it’s simply lovely!! When we arrived it was Bistecca and blues evening in UMA Cucina and we reserved immediately …. Wow so good probably the best Porterhouse we’ve ever eaten!! The next evening was the Bali Street food cart evening all couldn’t resist that, so very good ! In Kemiri, breakfast is unlike anywhere else, all freshly made dishes and suggestions so good we enjoy breakfast so much! Fruits, yoghurts various ways, different fresh juices, baked goods and the specials all is very very tempting and good! It is also a pleasure to just roam around the gardens and check the beautiful landscaping of the resort, the Koi pond which also houses two sunbathing turtles, and squirrels frequently seen in the resort. As close to nature as you can get. It was a very memorable experience again and honestly speaking we can’t wait to come back again ….. sampai jumpa !

We absolutely love Como Uma in Ubud. We have returned here multiple times and it only gets better. The standout is absolutely the staff and food. The food is fresh, wonderful and delicious. The kitchen staff and head chef are great. We did the cooking course and Dewa was fantastic … and of course the food was 10/10. We can’t wait to return again in the future.

Uma Ubud is my favourite place away from home. The food is excellent and fresh, with possibly the best breakfast in the world. The spa treatments are heaven. Rooms are simple, stunning and stylish. Poolside area as good as it gets. Bar is the nicest around. Activities abound if you want them - bike ride and rice paddy walk a must. The best part is the staff - many have been there since it opened in 2004; clearly a happy vibe with genuinely helpful and friendly people. Nothing is too much trouble and our Uma family is exceptional. Thank you for always taking care of us.

Our first three nights of our Bali adventure started in Abud with Como as our base. The resort boasts five stars and it qualifies. From the finely appointed rooms, three restaurants and dedicated teams we felt comfortable, cared for, and able to relax. We mostly stayed on site for our meals, finding the breakfast offerings terrific with a rotation of assorted menu items and help yourself tasty items like home made pastries, juices, sliced fruits and yogurts. The dining staff is always attentive and measured in their service. We had dinner at the pool side restaurant one night and the onsite Italian restaurant the following evening. Both offered food choices and incorporated Balinese dishes along with more western menu items. We walked to the center of Abud one day finding it a challenge to navigate among the masses of scooters, motorbikes and vehicles on the narrowest of roads with poorly maintained “side walks.” We’d suggest planning your day to central Ubud by utilizing the free shuttle down and back, rather than the treacherous 30-plus minute hike. We utilized the resort’s small map and recommendations to find a great place for lunch - Clear Cafe - requiring patrons to remove their shoes and many sitting on the floor to enjoy the healthy menu items (no alcohol served). Rather than winging it we opted for organized experiences through the resort. We took advantage of the walk that rotates each morning. We found the walk to the neighboring rice fields and gardens to be a wonderful way to spend an hour before breakfast. Our guide was passionate about the sustainable practices of the Balinese, and also taking the time to pick up trash along the roadway to the fields (nice touch). We also booked a “vintage car” tour and thoroughly enjoyed our day with Ketut and his tangerine ‘76 VW Thing - top down! Ketut cruised the less busy windy backgrounds around Abud stopping at perfect attractions along the way - rice terrace, temples, coffee plantation - and offered insights into the Balinese way of life. Our final morning we participated in the resorts Yoga class in the onsite Yoga Pavilion. Seemed appropriate to do a little yoga while in Bali. Nice class with capable instructor for these less than stelar participants. Our room was nice, large, comfortable bed, espresso maker, plenty of bottled water (no charge), nice sized bathroom with soaking tub, robes, perfect towels, separate head and shower. Rooms are serviced twice a day and the turndown service much appreciated. We opted for the paid upgrade to a private pool suite that had an extra outdoor shower. Perfect to cool down during the day or evening, and wonderful spot to enjoy in the early morning as the sun comes up. The main pool is central with full service food and drinks throughout the day and once again with top notch well trained staff. Seems to offer just enough pool side seating to accommodate the number of guests. In all, a nice visit to Abud and the Como Uma. It’s an oasis from the hectic and crowded center of Abud. When we return, the resort will be top of our list.
