Ananda Cottages - Ubud

The hotel is very nice. It has a private beach and the location is ok. Close to the Kuta bar/restaurant scene but not right in the middle of it. If you expect to see a young people, find another hotel. This one is mostly occupied by older couples (60 year olds plus). The room I had was large and comfortable. The sheets were dirty when I arrived but after I called they replaced them. Other than that everything looked clean. Good hotel for what you pay but next time I will stay closer to the action.

Wonderful villas to relax in. Loved having a delicious breakfast severed at our villa every day. Lots of good restraint and night life in the area and friendly staff to help point you in the right direction.

This was a very satisfying resort, exactly the type of beach vacation you would expect. Their grounds are enormous and graceful, and right along the beach. There were plenty of chairs available at all times. The restaurants along the beach also are ok; the Japanese restaurant was disappointingly average. Our room was perfectly fine and large, with nice dark wood accents. The swimming pools are also nice, with a couple options. It was relatively quiet, not too many kids running around. Jimbaran beach itself isn't wonderful, with the airport on the right corner a definite distraction. I think 3-4 nights here is just right.

This Kaymanis villa was a lovely retreat! The villas are quite large, and private swimming pool was large enough for laps. So most of our time was lounging in bed or the couch, watching squirrels and birds. The service was excellent and our personal butler did everything we needed and more. That made our trip very comfortable. The rest of the the complex, however, is very simple and the public pool wasn't even cleaned well (leaves) and we didn't see anyone use it. We also never used their public restaurant, but again this doesn't matter since everyone eats in their villas! The Nusa Dua beach unfortunately is a long walk down a private corridor to their private section. But we had much more fun just walking along the boardwalk checking out the other hotels and eating there at night on the beach, which was lovely. But the Nusa Dua beach itself is very poor for swimming, overrun with seaweed almost to the sure. Still, if you just want a villa relaxation, this is great. It would be more ideal to have a villa hotel which also was directly on the water with some pretty grounds.

Excellent value in off season - rooms well kept, good amenities, lovely pool. Enjoyed breakfast very much. Get the croissants and Indonesian breakfast. I agree with other reviewers that the price of spa treatments is high relative to the rest of Bali- they would probably book more if they were a little cheaper. Did not try the restaurant for any other meals, so cannot comment on it. There is enough of a beach at low tide for a quick dip in the ocean. The view from the resort is great.
