Bali Spirit Hotel and Spa, Ubud

2nd time we've been here and certainly won't be the last. Absolutely amazing location by the river and just out of town away from the hustle and bustle. Pool saff were fabulous. The pool area as a whole was exceptional. We loved the swim up pool bar. The views from our room were amazing. Staff were so lovely. Can't wait to come back here.

We were welcomed by a gong signalling our arrival and a cool juice. Check in was quick and easy. Beautiful lush tropical surrounds with sounds of water from the river. It’s an oasis from the Ubud business. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There’s a free shuttle into the centre of Ubud (but only one morning option.) The main pool is nice, with another pool available. Our rooms were generous and comfortable, with our mini bar area outside on the balcony. We were a family group and had 3 consecutive rooms with a large shared balcony which was nice and convenient (pot plants usually divide areas for privacy) If you want a break from the restaurant there are a few restaurants/ Warungs in easy walking distance and local shops for essentials. At breakfast staff will cook eggs, omelettes, French toast freshly for you if you ask.

We had a great week at the Bali Spirit Hotel. We really liked the neighborhood, it's outside the center of Ubud so it's quieter, and there are a couple of nice streets just across the main road that lead to a charming town center around a soccer field. There's a free minivan running to and from town every couple of hours, which I recommend. Absolutely don't recommend trying to walk to town - Bali sidewalks are more of a concept than something to walk on. The hotel site is great, running down the side of a valley with a river at the bottom, and the gardens are lush and tropical. Just be warned there are a lot of steps and it isn't accessible for wheelchairs. The rooms are on the older side, but they're big and the bed was massive and very comfortable. The restaurant isn't fancy but it's reasonably priced. Highly recommend Mother cafe for morning coffees (easy walk from the hotel), and Sage is an OK vegetarian place right across the road. Merlin restaurant in Ubud is fun and the food is good, but it's more expensive as far as food in Bali goes.

The pool was nice and had good vibes. The bed was firm and comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet some days and a menu with options other days. Courtesy buses run every two hours to take you in and pick you up from central Ubud. Very pleasant staff, especially in the restaurant.

Very useful hotel n pool. Very spacious bedroom n clean n comfortable. The hotel is very clean,with topical plants,trees n flowers all around n has yoga n meditation shall which was great if your into yoga n want to see practice. The river runs along the hotel an you can hear the sounds of river flowing which was very calming n nice.
