Unfortunately got gastro while here.

The resort facilities are great, the location is far from any city center, it’s great for travelers who want just to relax inside the hotel

Everything was great except one incident at the pool restaurant, My wife and I went for swim at the pool then ordered two juice drinks. As we were swimming, we didn’t carry the wallet with us, the lady who got the bill for us asked for the room number to add the bill on our account, she returned back and said sorry you have to pay either by cash or card. I had to sent my wife to the room to bring my wallet and I had to wait nearby so they can secure that my wife will come back with the wallet. That’s definitely gave us a feeling of being considered as untrustworthy.

- staff are wonderful - lots of free activities provided by the hotel ( yoga, outdoor biking etc) - pool area is nice - breakfast was great - hotel restaurants are nice - temperature here is much cooler than other parts of Bali. If you hate the heat but wanna come to Bali this place is perfect! Their heated pool goes well with the temperature as it can be a bit cold when the sun is gone.

-I booked this hotel mainly because the view looks amazing. But We probably got the worse room regarding it. We got the very corner room at the ground floor. Our balcony garden view was literally block by all the bushes. Room itself was nice but we don’t have much of a view. So we spent most of our time at the pool side which we can actually see the view. So if you’re booking this hotel for its mountain view make sure you request a room that’s NOT at the corner of ground floor. - it can get pretty cold at nice or super early in the morning. Do bring a small cardigan with you ( just an advise not complaining. We do love the breeze)

You have everything you need in this hotel. Best breakfast buffet I‘ve ever been, I recommend getting there early also to witness the sunrise. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food were in very good quality.

I loved everything! The whole place is magical.

Everything here was top notch. Cleanliness, the staff, the indoor and outdoor activities, the kids club.... I have really nothing to complain about. I wish I had stayed longer. Made at aerial yoga was amazing, Ronald at archery was amazing, EMI at the spa was a so good that I wish I could bring her back with me lol. The bamboo nest, the whole trail going down to the river, the bamboo bridge, was really fun. My son loved feeding the animals and fishing and the agroforestry. Despite being so cold the pool was cozy and temperature controlled and really really clean.

There is nothing I could complain about

Everything was perfect. The poll is amazing and you always have enough space there, the breakfast was rally good with an incredible view and the rooms were cleaned everyday

There is not a single thing we disliked. The resort personnel made us feel at home being very nice all the time.

I have travelled to resorts all over the world. This resort was exceptional in every sense. Many times the pictures look better than what you see in person. Yet I truly have to say that the resort is far better than any of the pictures. Don’t think twice. Book this place. It will be incredibly memorable. It feels like a sanctuary in the middle of the jungle. Just incredible. You can walk down to the river through the jungle as well. What a great experience.

Thursday’s seem to be a day where the staff change over. The service was exceptional, and the staff remember your name. However on Thursday’s, it seems that many staff rotate out for time off. The staff that rotate in aren’t nearly as well trained. The only day of average food was on that day.

The whole resort was absolute perfection. The views from the Club Lounge and Puhu Restaurant are breathtaking, the food in all restaurants was amazing and the service was second to none. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and there was so much to do that we didn't get enough time to do all the things we wanted to do. The pools were heated perfectly and we loved swimming in the pools after sunset. Our son loved feeding the koi fish in and around the lobby everyday during their fish feeding times and found a new love for archery. Our room (407) was absolutely stunning and overlooked the jungle with a volcano in the background. Cannot wait to go back and explore the area further.

The resort is 45mins away from the Ubud centre which is not ideal if you want to go into town alot but there is a shuttle that takes you in and out of town for free (just make sure you sign up to the shuttle bus at least 1 day in advance!)

This was an amazing hotel, one of the best I have stayed in, the room was very nice and a very good size (larger than some of the European hotel rooms) with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Breakfast was varied and catered for all nationalities particularly from the southeast asian countries which was interesting. The swimming pool was breathtaking and a nice touch to have it heated, as I suspect this part of Bali does get quite cold during the nights and it was nice that it was available until 21:00 hours. The choice of restaurants was limited, but understandable and with Main Ubud town centre nearly 45 minutes away it was an easy choice to eat at the hotel sometimes. There is a shuttle to Ubud 4 times a day if I remember rightly with a return also 4 times a day, of which the last trip is at 19:00 hours. I think it would be nice if there was maybe one more at 21:00 or 22:00. All in all a beautiful and relaxing stay at the Padma and most definitely will stay here again if I return to Bali.

Not much to say here, except about the shuttle service which I have mentioned above.

Absolute stunning resort. Beautiful grounds, amazing customer service. We stayed in the premier room overlooking the jungle. Breakfast was incredible, lots of choices and speciality cuisines change daily. The infinity pool / bar was out of this world. The sunset and view was something from a postcard. Free shuttle bus into Ubud central was great. The mini farm had fishing, and anazingly Otter's. It was an amazing and special 4 nights. We did the jungle dinner, well worth it. Kids club great for younger kids. The spa was lovely, had the nicest Balinese massage. Very professional and clean. Would love to stay again. Incredible.

Nothing.
