  Adiwana Unagi Suites

  - “Our room had its own pool, which was nice to enjoy in private any time we wanted. The water is a bit cold (not freezing), same as the main pool. The room itself was comfortable, spacious, and the dining table plus bathroom areas were both partially outdoors. This gave it a unique jungle feel. There were thankfully a lot less bugs than I expected, not only at the hotel but around Ubud in general. The hotel staff was amazing, always ready to help and answer any questions. Daily breakfast was always very tasty and quite a feast when you consider that each meal comes with a full plate of fruits and a croissant on the side. The juice options are not identical each day so you can try different ones, although note that they add sugar to them by default. Massage at the spa was also very enjoyable and relaxing, although we reviewed that separately. For getting to central Ubud, I recommend a Grab scooter ride if possible (even getting two for a couple, for example), as car traffic sometimes backs up horribly and becomes a complete standstill for hours. On one occasion we got out of the car taxi and walked the rest of the way since cars had moved less than a quarter mile in 30 minutes. This is more about Ubud’s lack of traffic management systems than anything specific about the hotel. The hotel itself is in a great spot to explore the famous things around the area such as the monkey forest, rice paddies, a multitude of coffee/tea plantations, and even Mt Batur a bit further north. Overall, if I come back to Ubud, I would likely stay here again. Staff was good to us everywhere we went in Bali, but the ones at Adiwana stand out as the best, and the semi-outdoor feel of our room felt more like Bali rainforest than a traditional hotel room like we had later in our trip.”

• Japan

  Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport

  - “Hotel location was perfectly close to walk to after exiting customs and super exhausted after a 12 hour flight. Trying to figure out the train system at 21:00 at night and finding our hotel that late and in an exhausted state would not be ideal. Relaxing in the hotel onsen was extra relaxing after a good sleep lying flat on a bed. Plus I was adjusting to the time zone change and could sleep in past 4:30 Tokyo time. Food choices in terminal 3 was plenty to find something you want to eat.”
