Kamandalu Resort and Spa  

It truly was a place to wind down, switch off from the rest of the world, and relax and rejuvinate.

The resort needs new towels.

The rooms are large and luxurious, the baths large, with outdoor showers, the grounds are spectacular, the food was delicious and the service was friendly and quick. We loved our stay and hope to return again.

More shuttles to and from town, additional restaurant or food choices, colder a/c in rooms

Nicely located close to Ubud in a beautiful environment.

Renovation took place during our stay.

It's very quiet. So we can have a good rest. The view is also beautiful.

Breakfast is not good enough. Not much choice.

Experiencing the luxurious way of life in Kamandalu was worth every cent! The Staff made us feel truely special, the welcoming gesture with cold towels and leis was a perfect start to our unforgettable holidays. Everything was really clean and well looked after, and although a big resort, you could find perfect tranquility in your own villa and garden. The resort has a wonderful pool for adults with a poolbar and another pool for small children. The buffet breakfast (inclusive) had lots of choises and you could easily spend an hour eating. The center of Ubud is too far to walk, but shuttle-service works well and taxi is cheap. I recommend to take the walk to the ricefeelds starting from Lotus-Café (Ubud main road)

It's hard to find anything to complain. Dinner in the hotel restaurant was 3 times more expensive as what you could find from Ubud town. But no problem going out to eat! Better not tell where you're staying when you are shopping as you might get a 'special price' (and I don't mean a discount)

Kamandalu was a beautiful, peaceful and tranquil resort set in the mountains of beautiful Bali. We spent 3 nights here but wished we had booked 5. It is close enough to the town of Ubud to do shopping, spas and other activities - a $5 cab fair or use the free shuttle. The resort itself was immaculate and the staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was perfect. The food and beverages were a five star standard as were the pool and pool side area. The setting for the resort is spectacular - as soon as we arrived we were relaxed.

There are only two minor things I did not like about Kamandalu. As there are very few things to do at Kamandalu you needed to travel outside the resort for activities and the shuttle service was not regular enough (although we only needed to wait 10 mins for a cab and they were very cheap)and the spa was overpriced.

This place is exquisite. The architecture is true balinese and the attention to detail outstanding. The service impeccable. The food very good. The atmosphere and the views excellent. We will come back. But we love nature and buildings with lots of character and authenticity, so for people that love very modern designs or the absolutely latest technology around them ....perhaps this is not the place. The tv is small and the reception is not so good. We stay at the "chalet" but we know they have some more luxurious rooms with plasma TVs (good if you go on the rainy season) Ohh...and the water temperature at the swimming pools is 30 degrees..just perfect!!

It is quite away from the village (Ubud) and you need to take a taxi (only 5 au$ so it is not bad) but I wish they would provide with a free shuttle service to Ubud that is much more frequent than the one they have now.

The signboard is so small and dark purple colour made us difficult to see. The room layout is not good, many space not used

Beautifully serene. The staff and service is impeccable. Highly recommend.

The only problem we had all weekend was our dinner at the insure restaurant was over cooked. The food was great besides the main entree being well done.

The staff were attentive and not intrusive. The hotel and its facilities were well maintained. The hotel is private and cannot be easily spotted from the main road and it makes it somewhat special and exclusive, a real retreat from the hustle outside. A place to calm your senses and relax.

I thought the staff were gracious and the setting and grounds were beautiful. The hotel itself is spectacular.

The rooms were a little uninspiring, but comfortable and had all amenities like mini bar, safe, tv and good bathroom. The hotel is a little ways outside of Ubud and although the hotel offers a shuttle service, this runs infrequently and their own taxi service is far more expensive than the average local taxi charge. Most of the other hotels, (including much less expensive ones) had much better shuttle services.

Excellent location (5 min. to the center of Ubud -if no traffic!), very beautiful surroundings (rice fields and palms! real paradise), very friendly staff, nice breakfast. Everything was excellent!! I really want to visit the place again!
