Ayuterra Resort

Beautiful scenery and lovely staff. Relatively clean compared to Ubud and a jungle room

Environment of insects inside the room but understand that these are common in Ubud, and the distance from center

Privacy and view

The food selection was too minimal aside form the breakfast

The Ayuterra Resort is a couple of km from the centre of Ubud, so it was really nice to be away from the crowds and traffic. If you like peace & quiet then you will like this place. The resort itself is really nice and our room was well laid out and had incredible views over the valley and hills so spectacular views and nice infinity pool (little chilly) that we relaxed in. Staff were very good and welcoming. The food we had in the restaurant was really good. It's not hard to get to the resort and we used mainly Grab but be prepared for the traffic, it's worse than you can expect. Not the resorts fault, staff there are really nice and couldn't do enough for us. We stayed in September and to be honest, very little bugs or unwelcome quests so that was really good.

Unfortunately the resort needs a little TLC. It's just a little worn looking but some would call it rustic, but it's not that, it just needs fresh paint, varnish and a little care. The restaurant wasn't busy but think most people headed down to the centre of Ubud for dinner. Breakfast was not so good, by the end of the stay, we had stopped ordering most of it, probably should have taken it in the restaurant rather than in the villa itself. Used the gym, while clean it's also a bit worn and dated so needs some updating. The area by the gym is not welcoming and seems to be a little forgotten space. Would think about the fridge in the villa, it's more like something you see in a shop, should upgrade to a nicer one that has a solid door and wished they had restocked it, we ended up buying things and bringing them back.

I loved the beautiful location and how private and tranquil it felt. The villas were exceptional, with the most beautiful views. The amenities and pool were also fantastic.
