When we checked in we were told about construction happening next door which was out of their control (no problems with that) and a party at the club next door which we were all offered ear plugs for only to have them renovating a room in the resort right behind our villa using a jackhammer for two days straight!! Their only solution was to give us a voucher for a massage. We paid for a 1 bedroom pool villa hoping for some quiet and relaxation. Then on our second last day my husband just got out of the shower when something came off a pal tree and smashed the glass over the shower (clearly not shatterproof as there was glass everywhere) There’s so much construction going on that I wouldn’t stay there if you’re seeking peace and quiet. The best part of the stay was meeting Budhi who drives the shuttles, he is just the kindest most knowledgeable man.

I spent six nights at the Sankara resort and spa in Ubud. The type of lodging was a villa with a modest pool that could fit two guests. The villa's garden was one of my favourite parts. To be really honest, I like Ubud better than Kuta or any other Bali area. This is Bali's undiscovered treasure if you appreciate quiet areas. I am astounded by the resort's exceptional service and the fluent English spoken by every staff member, from the receptionist to the housekeeper/cleaner. We appreciate the excellent service provided by Setiawan and Wins at the reception desk. Every time they see you, I am impressed by their grins and gracious greetings. After three years of Covid 19, I'm certain that everyone would miss the good nature, forthrightness, and heartfelt greetings. The hourly shuttle service to Central Coco Market is also quite convenient. Since there isn't a store inside the resort, you can get wine, snacks, and fresh fruit from Coco. You can't miss out on the mouthwatering food served by the resort's restaurant. The cost is quite affordable. I like eating at this place twice a day. You can choose from a wide variety of options on their menu. I've contrasted the menu with one from another upscale resort in Monkey Forest. I can guarantee you the menu at Sankara's is much superior. The villa's interior features simple, tidy traditional Balinese design. The uncomfortable desk and chair are the sole drawback if you need to work from your laptop.

From the moment of arrival and for the whole week's stay, staff were incredibly friendly and helpful; they were only too willing to provide extra service beyond contractual obligation. The resort was spotlessly clean and well-kempt. The hourly shuttle to and from central Ubud was completely reliable. Tours were arranged simply and without fuss. The ambience of this resort played a major part in our relaxed holiday being so successful. I have no hesitation in recommending it without reservation and would very much like to return one day - soon.

Very nice relaxing stay

I would recommend this place for anyone. We stayed with a baby and they provided a really nice and comfy cot. The yoga class in the morning was also great. Food at the restaurant was delicious! Overall a great place to stay!
