The Best Honeymoon We Could Have Imagined in Bali/Lombok!

Indonesia | Nov 14 - Nov 30, 2025

We loved the view of our valley villa! The staff was super friendly and accommodating, I also cannot say enough wonderful things about how good the food/drink were at the restaurant! It was a little distance from Ubud center, but it was nice and quiet which was definitely our preference. We would definitely stay there again.

The location was very close to the port and the area is very nice. We loved the views of the ocean and all of the pool options. The room was very nice, however we wished that there was more than just one mirror which happened to be outside. We also wished that at least the toilet was indoors (it was outside along with the shower, sink, and tub). We LOVED the private pool in the villa though, it was really nice being able to have that to ourselves. The spa on-site was also extremely nice. We got multiple treatments done and all were lovely. There was one night where there was a local wedding going on where the music was super loud until late at night and again at 5am, that wasn't the hotel's fault but we wished there was some noise ordinances in the area especially since that's where tourists are staying to relax.

This hotel is STUNNING. We loved the views, large rooms, private balcony, the infinitely pools up in the clouds are nothing short of magical. We loved all of the activities they have on the grounds including a tour of the coffee plantation, yoga, trying on authentic attire the locals wear to temples, and eating food which is mostly grown in their gardens. Everything was geared towards sustainability and supporting the local community. The cherry on top was the 4 grinds of coffee with the equipment to make it how you like in the room (French press, V60, espresso, Bali-style), the free afternoon tea which included local sweets, and the nightly treat with a scroll that had a story about the local culture. It became our favorite nightly routine to read our "bedtime story". The complimentary massage was also a huge bonus!

We really loved ending our trip at this hotel. The staff was very attentive and friendly, we felt extremely welcomed. We actually liked that it was a few blocks from the beach so that it was quieter at night, they have their own beach chairs with an attendant if you decide to go over there which was a nice touch. We loved the food/drink, they even gave us an entire cake for our honeymoon! The wifi was the fastest of any hotel we stayed at and we liked all of the small touches like the frangipani oil scenting our room and the bathtub filled with flowers when we arrived. They even have a shuttle that will take you anywhere in Sanur for free. We would highly recommend staying here.

The 2 waterfalls we saw were absolutely stunning. However, there were some parts of the tour we wished had gone smoother. First off, we didn't realize how unsafe the hike to the 2nd waterfall was going to be (slippery rocks, rocky pathways held together by rusty wire fencing with pieces of metal sticking upward, stairs with rusted away handrails, etc). I had on hiking sandals that worked for hiking down stairways to other waterfalls, but the metal wiring was poking into them as well as my husband's hiking water shoes that have holes in the bottom. We would have picked different shoes had we known. We had a guide in our car, however we had to use a local guide once we got to the waterfalls who didn't speak English. He walked away ahead of us and didn't show us where to step on the trail so we didn't know what rocks were sturdy/safe to walk on. We got the feeling that he didn't care much about making sure we were safe or having a good experience, and more like he just wanted to get the hike over with. After the waterfalls, we were excited to see the Sasak village especially since the village tour in Bali was so great. However, our guide from the car was the one who did the "tour" and it only lasted less than 10 minutes. He didn't tell us very much about it, and it felt more like we were intruding in someone's private life rather than having someone from there tell us about their village. Also, there was an aggressive dog that approached us and was barking/snarling. Our guide didn't do anything to direct us away from it. Again, it felt like he didn't really want to be there and just wanted to get it over with. It was a shame because the area was beautiful. Our driver was great though (and he ended up being our guide the next day for snorkeling, we wish he had been our guide on this day too)!
