Located overlooking verdant rice fields, one sees a vista of beauty and calm. Anumana is a hotel of lushness and luxury. The spectacular sculptures depicting the Hindu faith, the tropical palms, and vegetation that inhabit the gardens are rich and enrichening. I was greeted by Nengah, who was exceedingly present throughout my stay, and professional. Hospitality staff were beautiful, and present too. Being located 20 minutes from Ubud allowed one to experience the real Ubud in terms of the landscape. A regular and comp car service operated to carry one downtown such you are in the midst of the busyness of Ubud with ease. Breakfast was ample and offered a varied choice. Anumana has to be experienced to really relish the potential of this expansive town. Although I didn't walk, it is clear that exploration by foot would be a wonder too.
