Not really what we were expecting from an Alila. The overall architecture is beautiful and impressive as is the plantations. Even a walk around the front of the rooms via the stone wall with the view is amazing. The pool design is beautiful but was over crowded so you lose the essence captured in the photos. Unfortunately, for a 5 star, the pool villas are a little outdated and run down. The breakfast was extremely appallingly tiny, they say it’s like a tapas so order a few but, we had to order 3 sets of scrambled each as it seemed to be a single egg in each one. General breakfast selection was appropriate for a 3 star, as some of the B&Bs we stayed during the trip accommodated much more. The yoga session was really not up to par either and set in the gallery which really sounds exciting as it rained but was more a storage room and extremely beginner level. If you’re looking for more of a luxury adult experience also wouldn’t recommend it was overcrowded with families at the pool. Nothing against family resorts/hotels or children but really not what was assumed from the overall branding or location of the hotel. A little disappointing to be honest. Sorry Alila crew, service was friendly and excellent but not really a luxury experience.

I stayed at all the Alila on Bali - Alila Ubud was my favourite. It offers amazing jungle views, has a big garden to walk, a great (and deep) pool for daily swimming. The staff were amazing - super friendly and helpful. The restaurant offers great service and tasty food. The rooms are functional and in good conditions, all are providing relaxing views into the jungle. It’s 12 min by scooter to the Center of ubud. The SPA could be improved by adding a sauna and a steam.
Ubud is an exceptional place to free your mind.

overall we really enjoyed our stay at Alila but we stayed at Potato Head after for basically the same price and it was a much better experience (sleep quality!!, wellness classes, food on site, staff being more personal, the hotel felt more generous while at Alila they charge for everything)
pros
+ architecture, design, pool
+ breakfast a la carte with wide selection and a lot of flexibility. ‼️i highly recommend to get breakfast included, the portions are very small and it costs 300k++ on site for all inclusive breakfast
+ staff was always very friendly
+ the whole area is amazing, in the middle of the jungle
+ gym was clean and had all the essentials. enjoyed the mangosteen there 🥰
Cons
- sleeping was a big issue for us for several reasons:
1. the bedsheets are of appalling quality, some cheap polyester that doesn’t breath and makes you sweat. ‼️tip: request the high quality ones, they are still not the best but at least breathable
2. the AC is very old, loud and difficult to adjust
- rooms quite small, we booked the 65sqm room only to realise that a lot of that is empty “garden” space inside that consists of pebbles
- the yoga was a joke. the teacher was too lazy to do it in the beautiful outside area so moved it to the “Gallery” which is a small little dark cave like room, i went to the gym instead. unacceptable. i would have expected more (= daily) and better classes.
- spa is too expensive
- the food at the restaurant had a great presentation but the recipes were very basic, not enough vegetarian options and we could taste that the ingredients were not of good quality (cheese, tomatoes, flower etc)
- didn’t have any basic medicine at reception for my cough
- couldn’t recommend laundry place
- saving money on the small things (cheap polyester bedsheets, thin toilet paper)
- location is outside of ubud 15 mins by taxi, was ok for us to have serenity but need to be aware that you can’t walk out for restos
- slow whatsapp response times

Great location in the forests. Fantastic swimming pool. Awesome landscape. They offer bikes to explore around as well. Also offer free yoga sessions.
Rooms could be a little bigger. Also I wish they offer more options on vegetarian food.

The spa at this hotel is the best I’ve ever experienced, check out the body polish, body scrub and Balinese massage! You won’t regret it. The staff in this hotel can’t do enough for you - food was incredible, the silence and the scenery was to die for. Bali is always a good idea, Alila Ubud is forever a super stay!
