The blurb of this hotel says it is 1.6km from the Monkey Forest, has a restaurant and bar, and there is a kids pool. None of this is true! While the views are great, the villa is a 25 minute drive from Ubud centre and if you would like to have dinner at the villa, it must be ordered by 7.30pm as the local restaurant closes around that time. Nothing is made on site, I could not even get a few Bintangs delivered to my room. A free shuttle is provided at 9am and 3pm to Ubud, but the driver at DD will charge you 80,000 to take you into town at any other time. We tried to make the most of the situation, however after arriving home after dinner and drinks with family in Ubud centre, we found red ants had made their way into our room. Never mind we thought, we have the mosquito net. I awoke at 6am to find red ants in and on my bed, dead moths on the bed, so many red ants and moths on the floor that you could not sit on the bed, walk in the room, stand on the balcony or even sit on the toilet without being bitten. I wish I could upload photos! We also awoke to our door open and ajar, I'm not quite sure how that happened...
The manager was helpful in helping to obtain a refund for the nights we did not stay, and we found much better accommodation in the centre of Ubud at Komaneka Rasa Sayang. For the price we paid for DD I expected a lot more. We ended up paying an extra $200 AUD for the 3 nights for a bigger room, complementary massage, better experience and no ants. Dont do it!!
