Dwaraka The Royal Villas

Stayed here in 2018. The staff were fantastic. Everyone from transport guys, cleaning team, restaurant staff, reception staff, spa staff, people delivering anything we needed etc and always pleasant. Shuttle into Ubud goes every hour until 10 pm and easy to catch back. Breakfast choices cater for people from different countries as well as Indonesian food. Afternoon tea is included. Food for in room dining was delicious. The villa itself was very spacious. We had a pool villa and it overlooked the valley and rice fields. The villa had gardens surrounding it and included fresh fruit and biscuits. Transport to and from airport was convenient. Fantastic

The Dwaraka is a lovely facility with well kept grounds, excellent friendly staff and a traditional Balinese setting. The swimming pool was excellent as it was the first genuinely cold and refreshing pool we accessed in all of Bali. The free hourly shuttle into Ubud was very useful and a great idea as it allows you to stay just out of town in a less busy area compared to the central area. There are also a number of good local restaurants nearby so you don't need to go to town to eat if you don't feel like it.

Perfect Stay! I don't know if it's a category, but this is a botanical hotel. It has such an amazing garden full of tropical plant carefully placed and taked cared of. - The staff...amazing. Here to cather all your needs - There is a restaurant on site in which you can eat until 10:00 PM. Good food. - There is a spa on site with excellent services, but more expensive than the downtown service. But it's very clean. You have a free foot massage. - It's about 20 min walk to Ubud center, but you have a free shuttle from the hotel every hour to and from the hotel. - Apart from the pools in the private villas, they also have 2 larger pools. One of them is fully covered with palm trees and has shade all across the day, perfect for those who like to swim, but not staying in the sun. - The breakfast is a-la-carte, you can choose from a large variety of dishes.

The villa was absolutely gorgeous: air conditioned, lots of amenities (conditioner!), and a private pool. We loved how attentive and welcoming the staff were. I have dietary restrictions and they specially made an anniversary cake with me in mind and welcome design on our bed for our first day. It was very easy to get and use the free hourly shuttle, even if sometimes crowded, and the food and spa were very good. They also provided a jug of mineral water, which was a top convenience for someone who needs a lot of water!

We had a wonderful stay at dwaraka. We definitely return we we come back to Ubud. The pools were magical and it was nice to have the option of 2. Often we had it all to ourselves. The breakfast was outstanding. The stuff very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this place.
