We had the villa with private pool and were very pleased by the view, the pool and the fact that you somehow feel you are in the middle of the jungle. Many animals like Geckos, Frogs, Lizards, butterflies, dragonflies - you name it - live with you at the villa.
It is not too close to Ubud centre but you can request a driver from the hotel at any point who takes you "downtown".
The staff was very helpful but their English was not very well. Also the service at the hotel might not be what you would expect from a 4 to 5 star Hotel. Unexperienced staff made our stay sometimes uncomfortable. Nothing very crucial, but with an improved staff, this location would really be incredible.
There was no real reception, and we couldnt pay with credit card, only cash. Finding our way to the hotel from the street was adventurous at first - you have to follow a path starting from a one-car garage.
Also we had to ask for a bit more privacy during our stay, because there were constantly people coming by, either switching on lights when it got dark (I think we could have done that ourselves ;)), or brushing leaves off in front of our door, etc. Since the pool is right beside the door, there were some situations where bathing topless was uncomfortable.
Everybodys super friendly though and you will certainly have an exciting time.
Breakfast was ok, like in all hotels we experienced in Bali. Nothing very special, but you get fresh fruits, eggs, toast etc.
