Ananda Ubud Resort

Great experience, location was good. Room was clean. The food is the best.

Ananda was the perfect base for me in Ubud. Set in rice fields, large grounds with beautiful nature, 3 pools. Close to some great restaurants and massage places. Walk through rice fields to get to Intuitive Flow Yoga and Yellow Flower cafe. Great helpful staff - especially Sudiasa who tended my room and washing with great care. I stayed solo and kept extending my stay it was so convenient.

The resort is beautiful. The rooms have so much character. Bathrooms are either inside or outside in Bali fashion. Don't be surprised if you have visits from nature in your outside bathroom and, honestly, in your rooms. Geckos are a mainstay and chirp at you in the morning. Mice were not uncommon. Some rooms can have an ant issue in the bathrooms. The resort provides ant spray in every room. The AC works well in most rooms; however, power outages were a daily occurrence. The staff was wonderful and did their best to help with the inconvenience. Loved the food. Wifi is not the best. Pools were lovely.

Another wonderful 4 days at Ananda....again...we have been coming for many years....lovely staff....beautiful rooms and surrounds....great walks out the back every morning...lovely pool out back....breakfast not as special as before but still good. Well managed and lovely staff...well done

Rooms are very nice Balinese style with terrace so that you can enjoy the apéro and rest with a wonderful view. Staff are very helpful Restaurant is great for breakfast but also for dinner . 3 pools available with wonderful views on rice fields. We will come back definitely.

I wouldn't recommend this place if you're not a fan of ants. I booked a stay here and upon walking in and using the restroom a swarm of large black and red ands were crawling all around the bottom of the toilet, on the actual toilet, inside of the toilet and and on the toilet seat. I immediately called reception and they sprayed the same bug spray that was already inside of the room. When I got back to my room later that night, the ants were coming out of the sink, under the bathtub, across my things on the curtains, across the mirror, and on the bed. I had to spray every 5 seconds. The staff kept saying, it was because they were coming from the rice paddies. I do understand we are in the middle of the rice paddies, and bugs are expected but not infestations. I had just left a hotel that was in the middle of the rice paddies and had not dealt with this problem. The hotel tried to show me another rooms, but I noticed ants in them also. One or two every now and then would've been fine, but it was groups of them. I immediately booked somewhere else after my first night. Also - minor things, but some of the lights didn't work so it was super dark in there, it wasn't very clean, and if you need wifi, it's really weak Unfortunately they did make me pay for the one night, even though I could not sleep because of the ants in my bed and them crawling everywhere else. I think this is just an issue that was out of the staff's control.

Incredible, very well maintained gardens. The scenery is simply breathtaking. The hotel is situated in a good location, not too far from Ubud center. There is a free shuttle 3 times per day. Rooms are a bit outdated, kept clean in general, but we had troubles with stained/dirty sheets several times. There was a swarm of ants in the bathroom, but reception sorted that quickly for us. Breakfast selection was pretty poor, but fresh fruit variety was very nice. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
