Kamandalu Ubud

Kamandalu is totally outstanding in every way. I’ve been coming to Bali for over 45 years and this property is the best. A wonderful, serene, peaceful ambience with everything you need at your finger tips. Staff are warm, kind and welcoming, always ready to assist you wherever they can but not intrusive. The facilities, cuisine and wellness activities are first class . I highly recommend the massages in both the Forest Spa and Chaya. The swing at the Forest was a highlight. Thank you Ayu and staff, my stay was totally amazing. I’ll be back. If you are travelling to Ubud you must stay and experience the wonderful Kamandalu.

Kamandalu is everything is says it is and more. This is an absolutely beautiful property, breathtaking views and just has that feeling of rejuvenation. The staff are so friendly and genuine, every single of them goes above and beyond to make sure you’re happy. The meals are sumptuous and the authentic Balinese cuisine is divine. We had a 2 bedroom pool villa with terrace views, I will definitely be back. This is a place that you can really rest, relax and rejuvenate your soul.

I had saved Kamandalu Ubud for years awaiting my first trip to Bali after hearing and seeing such great reviews. They did not disappoint. I’m a marketing exec that gets very little time for rest and recoup so my holiday to Bali for the week of Dec 2024 was reserved for just that. After travelling close to 28 hours door to door from the USA, Kamandalu Ubud was a blissful haven. The team/staff on ground here and on WhatsApp really makes this resort experience very special. They took above and beyond care of me, including the amazing yoga instructor who conducts the classes in the mornings. What a treat. Thank you for everything and I will be back for sure. ♥️ 🇮🇩

Our experience at Kamandalu Ubud was great. The rooms, pools, restaurant and cafe were all nice. The complimentary morning yoga class, koi pond, and rice field provided us with more fun things to enjoy during our stay. The hotel offered multiple shuttle rides to Ubud center, so it was convenient to get around.

Very kind staff, good food and services! Villa rooms are very cozy and bali-daybed is a masterpiece. The ”Tangy Temptation” is a must try. It feels like you’re living in village out in the jungle, sometimes shy monkey will visit the hotel grounds. Will be back for sure!

It was a beautiful honeymoon trip even though the weather was really bad. The staffs were very helpful and friendly. They always went above and beyond. They always accommodate our needs. We had a private candle light dinner as well which was really beautiful.

Kamandalu will now forever hold a special place in my heart because this is the location that I chose for my surprise proposal to my partner. For a such an occasion, the hotel of my choosing had to be something spectacular, and I am pleased to say that Kamandalu lived up to all my expectations. Superbly friendly and helpful staff who helped me plan things out remotely from Malaysia months in advance, to the gorgeous decoration and set-up for our big day, I couldn't have asked for more. The resort itself truly embodies Ubud's most famous setting, the rice paddies, with rice plants, a mini paddy within the hotel and views of the surrounding plantations all present. The rooms we stayed in (Garden Villa and Garden Pool Villa) were magnificent, comfortable beds, spacious and well thought-out interiors with the only room for improvement that I see being the slightly low water pressure for the showers. Insects are part and parcel of any nature-themed hotel, however we only really encountered them during our romantic dinner at Alun Alun, but the hotel does their best to keep them at bay. I do hope the hotel continues with the upkeep and maintenance of their facilities and perhaps some improvements could be made to the quality of food which did not disappoint but did not "wow" us, given the amazing fare available all throughout other parts of Ubud. All-in-all, I can certainly say that it won't be too long before I'll be back at Kamandalu!

The location and overall food and beverage services were good, but it seemed that the sub-room of the 2-bedroom unit was not managed at all. While a few ants appeared in the master room, which I believe is due to the regional nature, the insects found in the sub-room indicate poor resort management rather than just a regional issue. It appeared that ants had a nest inside the room, and every time we turned around, dead ants were scattered around. Simply providing us with a spray and explaining that it’s a common occurrence left us quite disappointed. Since our family isn’t too particular, we chose to overlook it, but it’s still hard to understand how staying with this many ants is considered normal after paying the full rate.
