Before our arrival, the resort proactively reached out via email and WhatsApp to inquire about our arrival time and whether we needed airport transfer.
Even though we booked the Rice Field View Suite, it still came with a balcony, a fully transparent bathtub, and two vanity sinks. Getting ready in the morning and my partner's beauty routine no longer felt cramped, which was a huge plus!
For breakfast, while it wasn't a free-flowing buffet, the à la carte menu offered plenty to fill us up. We could also reorder hot/cold coffee, hot/cold tea, and juice. We often couldn't finish everything, so much so that on our check-out day, we skipped the cheese platter and bread options altogether...
The main highlight, and ultimately why this resort was on my shortlist, is the stunning infinity pool on the rooftop.
Just outside the resort, there are Circle K and M Mart convenience stores for any last-minute purchases. You'll also find an abundance of Indian vegetarian, Korean, and Japanese restaurants, as well as massage and spa places – enough to try a new one every day.
As for the downsides, some reviews mentioned a musty smell and ants. Yes, there was some humidity, but setting the AC below 25 degrees Celsius (77°F) solved that. Ants did appear when we were having coffee on the balcony 🤣, probably foraging after the rain, especially with the rice fields and trees nearby. Thankfully, we didn't have any issues with ants inside the room.
My wife specifically asked me to mention that the toilet seat cover lacks a soft-close feature. On our first day, the sound of the seat hitting the bowl gave her quite a fright 🤣. Adding some plastic stoppers or upgrading to a bidet toilet in the future would definitely enhance the experience.
Overall, it was a perfect 5-day, 4-night vacation. I highly recommend it to friends from Taiwan and around the world planning a trip to the Ubud area of Bali.
