Picture from the pool
Been here for 3 days now - hotel opened 2 weeks ago

Breakfast has been good & poolside restaurant is good as well (had the soft shell crab buns & the pulled pork tacos - enjoyed both). Food is reasonably priced & comparable with local restaurants.

Service is attentive. Got out of the pool wearing sunglasses & sat down to read and the attendant came by and offered to clean my glasses for me. I was impressed & surprised by that as I’ve never had that offer before. Also, they came around & offers people 5 minutes teaser shoulder massages & then a spa offer. I did end up getting a massage (1 hour for 1M IDR - spa had a steam room & private relaxation pool).

Good size standard room & bathroom (2 sinks, huge shower & separate soaking tub) - big balcony with seating for 2 & a table.

Staff is extremely friendly.

About a 10 minute ride to the Ubud Palace (38k on Grab) - but Ubud doesn’t like Grab picking up & want you to use the local taxi mafia. I had a Grab driver willing to pick me up at Monkey Forest - 40k back. Another time, I hopped on a motorbike taxi for 60k. The regular car wanted 100k to go back.

Internet here is really good as well.
