The resort is beautiful and our villa was large and airy. The pools were clean and well maintained with the main one surrounded by gorgeous greenery. The breakfast was delicious with lots of options. The best thing about the place was the staff. They were lovely, so friendly and always smiling. They were always helpful and went above and beyond.

The location was what we expected but if I stayed again, I would stay closer to the town as the traffic is hectic when trying to drive in. I would have liked conditioner in the bathroom and insect repellent. The shuttle timetable is a bit limiting. Maybe some more time slots would have been nice. But these are only little things!!

The beautiful jungle surroundings. The pool outside of our room was perfect ,with the bar staff service for drinks. The spa massages were wonderful. We enjoyed 2 lovely breakfasts and delicious suppers with you as well. We enjoyed the tour around the area in the morning. The fruit in the room was so tasty. All and all a fantastic stay, your staff was supper kind and friendly, we would love to return some day.

We didn't care for the 2 people that were using our lounge chairs in front of our room on our second day. As we were at the monkey sanctuary tour and came back to have them in our front lounge chairs. So frustrating. When we came out of our room to find them in our chairs this was a disappointment, as they could also peer into our room, so we had to keep our curtain closed and it took away from our views and privacy.

This property is a hidden gem and is going to become very popular in the coming future. It’s a 10 minute scooter ride outside of the hustle and bustle of the city center. It’s nestled in amongst rice fields and some beautiful jungle. The rooftop bar has an amazing view of the sunsets.

What really makes this resort is the staff. I have never had a more attentive and endearing group of people looking out for my best interest while staying somewhere . I was a little bit ill, and they repeatedly reached out to see if I needed anything and brought me ginger tea and other home remedies to help with my stomach issues. They truly went above and beyond.

The out of the way location makes it quiet and peaceful. Lots of staff all falling over themselves to be helpful. Very clean. Breakfast very generous and tasty. There is a new bar on the roof with fantastic views and awesome decor. Food options plenty and good in the bar.

With the addition of the new bar I’m a bit confused about how the hotel wants to position itself. On the one hand it is serene and quiet and now there is a big fancy bar with dj’s playing. It is early days for the bar (week one!) with all the staff just getting to know how to run things but we found the happy hour baffling with the discount system. More chairs needed around the pool area.

We have been to many countries and many hotels already but the Arkamara tops everything by far. With our arrival at the beautiful resort in the middle of exotic plants and trees we got a warm welcome by the staff. The resort has 2 pools, a nice restaurant, a spa where we got our welcome massage, a gift shop and a roof terrace with bar and yoga area. Room: We had a very spacey room with a nice shower and bathtub with outdoor feeling. The room was cleaned daily with diligence. Restaurant: The staff at the restaurant was so welcoming and always offered us a super flexible breakfast. We got to select 4 items from the menu which was really a lot - with a fresh pressed juice of choice we never started the day hungry. Shuttle service: Since the resort is located on the other side of the river in Ubud it would take a while to get to the city centre. The Arkamara offered a free shuttle service (roundtrip), also on short notice. The communication was super easy via WhatsApp and never too intrusive. Staff: We immediately felt like home and got treated better than you could imagine. 24/7 we felt the kindness of the staff and we actually felt quite sad to leave Ubud, not because of the city but because of the extraordinary staff. We already miss it and can’t wait to come back soon again!

Our stay at this hotel near Ubud was nothing short of amazing! The food was absolutely exceptional – every meal was a delightful experience, showcasing the best of Balinese and international cuisine. The stunning views of the tropical forest from the property were simply breathtaking, offering a serene and relaxing atmosphere that made our stay unforgettable. A highlight of the hotel was undoubtedly the rooftop restaurant, which deserves special mention. Watching the sunset from there was magical, with the vibrant hues painting the sky and the surrounding greenery. It's a must-visit spot for anyone staying at the hotel. One of the standout features of our trip was the incredibly well-organized excursions offered by the hotel. They provided an excellent way to explore Bali, with everything planned to perfection. We would like to give special thanks to our guide, Yudika, who accompanied us on private tours around the island for several days. His wealth of knowledge, insightful tips, and tactful guidance enriched our experience immensely. He made us feel comfortable throughout the journey, ensuring we discovered the best of Bali while allowing us to enjoy the trip at our own pace. A heartfelt thank you to Yudika for making our excursions so memorable! This hotel, with its prime location near Ubud, excellent amenities, and outstanding staff, is a perfect choice for anyone looking to experience the best of Bali. Highly recommended!

This was one of the best hotels we've ever stayed at! All of the hotel staff, from the receptionists to the waiters and cleaners, were incredibly helpful and friendly. They went above and beyond to help us with everything we needed during our stay in Ubud, even helping us to book our ferry tickets to the islands. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the hotel has a beautiful pool surrounded by stunning scenery, a great restaurant with delicious food, and a lovely terrace bar where you can enjoy refreshing cocktails. There are so many things to do in Ubud, but you won't want to leave the hotel! The spa is also amazing - we had the best massages of our lives. We would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Ubud!

Nothing at all

Our stay was amazing. The staff is super thoughtful and helpful, always making sure we were having a great experience. Food at the restaurant was great, and the they had different attractions at dinner each night. The rooftop bar is stunning and the view is extremely beautiful (rice fields). The bed is huge and comfortable, the bathroom is great, and the balcony had a very relaxing view of the jungle. Also, there is a free schedule shuttle available for pick up and drop off at the city centre.

Not exactly negative, but would recommend people who are not traveling in group to ask for a room that’s not a joint room as the soundproofing is not great if the people in the joint room are loud. We had very loud people staying in the room next to ours (joint), however, once we pointed this out to the staff, they were great at assisting us and making sure our experience continued to be excellent.

Everything!

Nothing!

Arkimara Resort in Ubud, Bali, is a true gem. The amenities, including two pools and a rooftop bar, were fantastic. The included breakfast offered a great variety. Free yoga and other activities were a nice touch. The spa, especially the Balinese massage, was top-notch. The daily shuttle service to the City Centre was convenient. The rooms were spacious, and the staff, especially Agung Gede and Pande, were exceptional. Special thanks to the reception team for their kindness. The flower bath prepared by Tude and team was a highlight. Overall, a perfect blend of luxury and relaxation. Highly recommended!
