Shanti Travel

Amazing - paradise on earth

It's a great place perfect for quiet and relaxation. The service, food, and locations were perfect for my interests and my budget, and it's a great spot if you want somewhere that's not as busy as Ubud. The staff are all so nice and welcoming! And they have a dog and cat on the grounds that both like to say hi to people!

It's a unique place located near city center of Ubud, but it doesn't feel like you're in a city due to being surrounded by lush greenery. The rooms are in balinese style with modern amenities. The restaraunt and pool are also perfect for relaxation.

It's a beautiful place with cozy cabins, kind staff, and great food! It's perfect for a quiet getaway in the mountains if you like relaxing places with farms and hiking. The owner chichi is so kind too!

It's a great little getaway that's budget friendly and within walking distance of restaraunts and a couple beaches. The pool is a great feature and rooms are spacious and clean.

This is a wonderful little place near both ICON bali mall and the beaches. It's got lots of nearby shopping and cafes, and only 30 minutes walk from sanur cat cafe! It's comfortable, clean, and has a great pool for relaxation. They also have balinese traditional dance performances on Monday nights!

Great experience whether you are single or in a group, and great for any age. The whole process is very streamlined and coordinated. We were given a tour of the local market to start with, before going to the guides' family home and learning about the culture and foods. A lot of the staff do the prep work, so if you're looking for something intensive, this may not be for you. But we got to use traditional methods and were given tips on how to select products for quality and freshness. We made at least 8 different dishes. It was so much fun learning the methods for cooking balinese dishes. Staff were professional, friendly, and helpful! The meal was delicious, and we were given a cookbook with all of the recipes we made!

Fantastic guide who shared stories about the local area, his family and village, and helped with taking pictures! He came prepared with bugs spray and water too!

The canoe and trek were amazing! Mu guide shared lots of stories and we discussed environmental issues. The canoe trip gave plenty of time to take photos and see the wildlife and water temple, and my guide shared a lot of interesting information about the local plants. We even got to eat some cinnamon bark right from the tree! Lunch was delicious and the hike wasn't too difficult (even if you're like me and have asthma and are out of shape lol).

Hotel was basic. We arrived into terminal 3 at Jakarta. Yuqqa had selected a hotel in terminal 2, but we flew out of terminal 1 the next morning. Why so much movement. Spending the night at the terminal we arrived at would have been much easier and better.

Absolutely fantastic. Was our favorite hotel of the trip. Grounds were magnificent and the staff was great.

A beautiful resort right on the ocean

VERY basic, but we expected that. We were only there to access the hike, which we never did.

Gorgeous views of the harbor

The highlight of the trip was the MonaLisa 3. The crew was great. Boat was lacking only one small thing, places to sit. There were no chairs. A couple of benches but nothing else. Everything else was great. Our guide Robert was absolutely sensational. By the end of the trip it felt like we were hanging out with a friend who was a local. When we had the problem with the Wae Rebo hike Robert saved the day. He was amazing looking for Komodo Dragons. He made up for all of Yuqqa's mistakes. One of the best guides I have ever had.

Ten stars. Best day of the trip. We saw eight Komodo Dragons! Two terrific snorkeling experiences. We will remember this day for the rest of our lives.

A little bit touristy and poorly scheduled as mentioned previously. View was magnificent.

Fantastic

Very authentic. Loved the hike through the rice fields

A simple, convenient option! Nothing special, but made our early morning journey doable! Also, I got the in room massage after my flight and it was reasonably priced and a great quality!

We had a great experience on the Klotok boat! We loved our entire crew and our guide was amazing. The food was delicious, exceeded expectations. We saw so many animals because we stayed on the boat! Definitely hot and buggy, but worth it for our incredible experience!!

This hotel was the definition of luxury. I loved our balcony to read in the afternoons between activities, the bathroom was luxurious, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. The free breakfast every morning was a great way to start the day!

This was a great hotel! We only stayed here one night, so a bit difficult to compare. But the restaurant attached was nice, it was a quick 5 minute walk to the beach, and our room was nice.

So fun to go to the feeding stations! Deka, our guide, was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife, the culture, and we really enjoyed getting to know him. Yuni was the best cook, every single meal was so delicious!! Our boat was clean and had everything we needed! It even had a flush toilet and a shower! The wildlife we got to see were truly amazing. 5 different kinds of primates and countless birds!! Deka was amazing in helping us identify the species for our species count 😊

This was a really special cultural experience!! Our guide was great at the ceremony and the entire morning was amazing! I'm so grateful we got to experience this 💛

Wow! This was a highlight for me. I loved the organization that we got to work with in this day. Our guide Ojan (I think?) was so sweet and knowledgeable about all of the plants. Loved that this truly felt off the beaten path, we hardly saw anyone else except for the people living in the village. Really great lunch we are in the forest, and a lovely canoe ride. The trek was really fun through the jungle.

This was another great experience for us. The guides were incredibly eager to help make our experience the best it could be. Note: the biking is not great for beginners, it helps to be comfortable on a bike! The lunch at the waterfall and canyon was beautiful! We loved getting to enjoy dessert in their home. That was really special to be able to learn about their culture and way of life. I also loved being able to make my own offering basket!

Same as first day

See first day review

We loved this hotel, great staff, location and food.

Perfect location for our Mount Bromo hike.

This was an amazing location. We had a private villa with our own pool and fountains with koi swimming around in the pond. Birds visited the garden throughout the day, this was a peaceful bonus to our stay. The rooms were spacious, beautiful, and elegant. We were blown away when they told us that the entire garden was our space. We would all love to come back to this exceptional location.

Such a beautiful location, we arrived when the clouds broke open and gave us a good dousing with mountain rain! The rooms were lively as was the pool! The staff greeted us with umbrellas and fresh juice! Beautiful area. The food was lovely, staff wonderful, just amazing.
