The Royal Purnama Villas - Adults Only
4.6/555 Reviews
Sukawati District
This hotel is on a secluded part of the south coast of Bali, a short distance from Kuta. Our pool suite was vast, with the bathroom being open to the pool. Service is immaculate and the food is of a very high standard. The quality of the drinks, not so much, although when they opened their new Beach Club this should be rectified, according to staff. There are great deals to be had here. They have 24 hour security and airport pick up service. Staying for a few days could get your free breakfasts (that are very good) and other gifts. Highly recommended.

The Swaha Ubud Hotel
4.4/514 Reviews
Sukawati District
Mr Wayan the owner of The Swaha Hotel, was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. He helped us workout our sight seeing plans and also arranged for our transport and even drove us to and fro on short trips. He picked us up from the airport, which was complimentary, and also drove us to the airport at the very early hour of 4 AM. Though it is a small hotel it has all the amenities and Mr Wayan’s warm, chatty and helpful nature more than makes up for any lack . We did not try the food there so cannot comment on it. We loved our weeks stay at Bali .
Bumi Linggah Villas Bali
3.9/510 Reviews
Sukawati District
Bumi Linggah Villas is in an area away from the tourist trail. There are about 11 villas set in tropical gardens. I booked a Sapphire Villa and I wish I had booked an Emerald or Jade. The villa was very basic, though it does have a private pool. everything was reasonably clean but we lacked facilities in the kitchen eg. there's a gas hob but no pans. There were no knives either. No kettle. No fan. The bathroom smelt really bad too. We overcame the minor problems by either asking the staff or buying supplies like a tea towel etc. The restaurant has minimal choices as most guests eat out. We believe they are rebuilding the business after closing during covid so we've cut them some slack. Could I recommend a Sapphire Villa based on my 4 nights there? Probably not. The staff do the best they can and I wish them all the best.
Kartika Dahayu Private Pool Villas
4.5/55 Reviews
Sukawati District
We stayed here for 2 nights after staying in Kuta. The villa is so spacious with a long clean private pool and big bathroom, great value for money. The staff is friendly and reception is open from 7am to 10pm, there is a whatsapp no if you need anything. They do give free tickets to the butterfly park next door which we didnt have time to explore. There are very few restaurants nearby so for dinner and the villa's restaurant close at 5pm, so I will order dinner from the restaurant before 5pm and heat it up using the microwave. You can also arrange in villa massage. Breakfast is a bit late,it starts from 8.30am but we appreciate the staff to arrange early breaksfast for us (one day is takeaway arrangement). Feels so good to dine in villa and in villa massage. Floating breakfast can be arranged for a small additional fee. I will highly recommend this place if you are staying in Ubud.
