I stayed at the Honai Resort for a yoga retreat in October 2023. When we arrived we stayed at a big hotel, so this was a switch as it's a smaller boutique hotel. The rooms basically circle the pool which was a great meeting place for our group after a day of touring. They offer Happy Hour every day - make sure to get the bucket of beer that includes fresh fries. The fries were a bonus that we didn't realize we needed in our life. There's a large yoga Shala which was perfect for morning and evening yoga. The staff was super polite & super smiley. We had some great fresh food as part of our week/tour and they made us beautiful coffees in the morning! The tempeh skewers were my favorite! As it was a smaller hotel it was important for us to communicate if we intended on dining out for a meal so they wouldn't waste food. The rooms were comfortable & we were fortunate enough to stay at a room downstairs facing the pool. Full disclosure - a few in our yoga group smelled a sewer smell from their bathroom - maybe this was an outgassing issue with upstairs rooms. We did not have that issue thankfully. The staff did move them to accommodate, so they are on it. Otherwise, our room was clean, bathroom huge w/ a tub and separate walk-to shower. The room was stocked with spring water & snacks, so we had everything we needed. We did get a few nips by the smallest mosquitoes I've ever seen. I did see staff spraying one night & they do give you bug repellent. My biggest advice is to keep your doors shut no matter how nice it is outside. This was a great launching spot for day trips! We went to Ubud Central, fire dance, Monkey Forest, Sound healing at Pyramids of Chi, mud running through the hills and rivers - all so fun. We even did a beach day with our amazing driver. Seriously I adore her & can't recommend her enough. If you are in the Ubud area, please call her - Nyoman Sujani - WhatsApp +62 822-6611-3845 . She has great day trip suggestions, knows great off-the-beaten-path art/woodwork shopping & even snagged me the tastiest dragon fruits I've ever had! She is a single mom & is the safest SUV driver ever. Have a great trip to Ubud! It's such a special place.
