The Sungu Resort & Spa

The breakfast was great - eggs, fresh fruit, juice and coffee. The staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. If whatever you needed wasn't available through the hotel, they would go out of their way to organise it. For example, a babysitter, an after hours taxi or a day tour. These were usually done by staff off duty at an extra charge or a friend. Either way it made us feel safe and well looked after. There is a convenience store and money changer across the road from the resort as well as a few good restaurants and some funky shops. There are beautiful rice fields just behind the resort, allowing for a pleasurable morning walk to refresh your senses and take in the sweet smell of frangipanis.

The Sungu is located up on the hill and out of central Ubud which made it difficult to get in or out of main locations such as the market, monkey forest or Yoga Barn. Free shuttle is available through the resort but only from 10am. Local taxis charged anywhere R50-100K to get up the hill - depending on the time of the day.

The Sungu absolutely exceeded our expectations. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a tasty beverage and given a quick tour of the place. The room was beautiful, the bathroom exquisite, the pool facilities clean and comfortable. The staff was so friendly - their hospitality really made our experience at the resort so enjoyable. The breakfast is great, the complimentary shuttle service into town is so helpful, and the location is central... walking distance to restaurants, spas and mini-markets. The resort provides two cleaning services per day - fresh towels, bottled drinking water and incense lit each evening which made each day a luxurious experience. A perfect and quaint resort in the heart of Ubud at an extremely reasonable price. I would 10/10 recommend staying here and hope to come back someday very soon! Thank you Sudi and staff!

Everything was great and much better than expected: the location is very close to the city center and the staff! - they're super kind and nice. Their ride service to/from the city center was great and the breakfast in the awesome dinning room was wonderful! The villa and swimming pool were very nice and beautiful giving privacy yet convenience. We liked the stay here very much.

Only one thing we're sorry about. A little bit of more light inside the room would have been better: a bit too dark in the evening.
