We reserved in Kuta, but at the end we could not travel from Ubud. The staff was great and rearranged our reservation to their facilities in Ubud. Massage was great, you really get exfoliated with the scrub (contains Curcuma) and the final half hour in the tub with flowers was so relaxing. Facilities have towels and shower to bath on the end. It was really relaxing, absolutely enjoyed. Fully recomended.

Our tour had just myself and partner. Felt very private. Guide was very informative and friendly. This half-day tour gives you a taste of Ubud in a short period; rice terrace, a waterfall and coffee plantation.

Felt very welcoming and guide was very friendly. We had a small group on our tour which also allowed us to make new friends. Experience was fun and lots of laughing. Food was great

All entry fees were included and even lunch which I was not expecting in a beautiful setting amongst the rice terraces.

Tour guide Dewa very friendly and very helpful.. amazing day spent with amazing people…
