We stayed at the Royal Pita Maha for our honeymoon and it was even more stunningly beautiful than the pictures. We stayed in villa 105 which had a gorgeous view of the river and jungle. The staff were always courteous, helpful and friendly. The restaurant offered an a la carte menu which we tried on the first night. While it wasn't the highlight of our stay, it is acceptable if you're arriving late or if you're feeling too relaxed to make the trip to town.

My husband and I prefer to sleep without airconditioning so we left the bathroom and tv room door open and closed the curtains, which was sufficient to keep most insects out.

The hourly shuttle bus to and from town was very convenient although it tends to leave 5 minutes early when returning to the resort and often we'd arrive before the stated departure time only to find that it had already left. A taxi is cheap however so it didn't bother us too much.

The grounds are extensive with multiple swimming spots to choose from. The organic restaurant overlooking the river is quite nice.

It really is a beautiful resort which has a lovely traditional Balinese feel to it. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking to treat themselves. It was so nice coming back to such lovely accommodation after spending a day in town.

Room tip: For those not wanting to walk up too many steps, then get villas that are closer to the lobby e.g. 102-107. We stayed in villa 105.

We just returned from 30 days of travel through Asia, starting in Myanmar, Bali and then to Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. We booked a 3 night stay in Bali at the Royal Pita Maha and could not believe what we saw. It was amazing to see the entrance to the resort, then the reception area. A short walk to a large villa with a private infinity pool looking into a valley of lush green. Staff was elegant, polite and efficient. The grounds were carefully maintained with losts of green plants and rock formations. Dining was beautiful in open air rooms with breathtaking views of the waterfall, river and pools all located on the property. Yoga under a covered thatched area along the river was so zen like. The Spa offered a private retreat for couples that takes place in a two story villa with private views of the property. The treatments were tastefully handled and the environment was something we have never experienced. A shuttle is offered to take you to the spa and back or you can make the walk yourself. We spent most of the first day exploring the 14 hectors of this amazing property. It was hard to leave, but the resort provides a convenient shuttle to Ubud or Monkey Farm. Watching an afternoon shower pass over while enjoying tea service with majestic views was a lovely break, we finished our visit with a trek through a local village to see how locals live and work. Good food, wonderful staff, a stop notch spa and the most beautiful grounds imaginable makes Royal Pita Maha one of my favorite spots in the world.

Room tip: There are lots of steps on the property so closer to reception if you want to minimize walking. The rooms below are closer to the organic restaurant, yoga and special pools and give a totally different perspective, you look up at the entrance. All the rooms offer private pools and the property is designed so well that each villa has great privacy.

My husband and I have just returned from our second stay at the Royal Pita Maha. If you are looking for special place to celebrate one of life's milestones then this is the place. Luxurious private villas all with their own pool, helpful unobtrusive staff and an hourly shuttle to and from town, if you can drag yourself away. The views down to the Agung river are spectacular and you are lulled to sleep at night by the rushing water. Hey and why not take a couple of glasses and a bottle of champagne down to the gazebo on the rivers edge at sunset. Wear bathers and a sarong because you will be lured into the charming pools that you encounter on the way down. This is also a good spot for watching the white water rafters as they whizz by and, by all means, book a downriver trip. Yes, it is more expensive to book a rafting trip via the hotel, but I'm guessing that if you are staying at this hotel you can afford! The outfit that they use, is just down the street from the hotel, they have good gear, and it will be only your party in the raft. If after all this you feel more energetic you can walk back to the hotel form Ubud via the Champuan ridge walk. Better doen from Ubud town back to the Hotel, you can pick up the walk trail at the Ibah Hotel, just before the Champuan bridge

Our Australian friends recommended the RPM for our 5 night Visa Run from Thailand first time visit to Bali but they never prepared us for what awaited us. Again on their recommendation they advised us to request Villa 138 for its views and we were delighted that our request was accepted.
We arrived at 10pm and were quickly and efficiently checked into our wonderful villa, separate lounge area (perfect for me to watch TV and/or use the free wi-fi, fabulous bathroom with heart shaped bath that probably takes half a day to fill and huge 4 poster bed in large main bedroom area with floor to ceiling windows which on awakening next morning and every other morning revealed the awesome view across our infinity pool down to the Ayung river flowing through the gorge.
Magnificent views, magnificent gardens, magnificent accommodation - and, oh yes, the Spa!!!Incredible!!!
The main restaurant had just changed over at the request of previous guests to buffet instead of a la carte and the Chef and his superb super attentive and efficient staff were anxious every day to canvas our views and to offer criticism which we gave and which was graciously accepted and remedied the next day. No tokenism here, a real yearning to deliver what their guests wanted.
Would we return? In a heartbeat!!!

Room tip: Villas 137, 138 or 139 offer best views.

This review is for a short stay in The Royal Pita Maha in May 2012.

Having gone through weeks and weeks of searching for a suitable pool villa that would give my partner and myself the much needed vacation to recharge, we stumbled upon some excellent reviews for The Royal Pita Maha on Tripadvisor and decided to make a reservation for a pool villa. The email responses from the reservation desk were prompt and queries were taken quickly and answered to our satisfaction.

Upon arrival at the airport in Denpasar, we were met by the resort's driver who kindly had us wait in the shelter of the airport while he went back out in the sweltering heat to the carpark to pick up his vehicle and come back for us. Once in the vehicle, we were given cool, refreshing bottled water to enjoy while sitting back to take in the sights and sounds of the Balinese city. The journey to the resort was about half an hour or so depending on traffic. Along the way, you get to see several rice fields and scenes from the everyday life of the Balinese people.

As we approached the resort entrance, there is a turn off down a small secluded path. In my opinion, the resort is not readily accessible. We could have easily missed the side road if we were making our way there on our own. However, this is probably part of the reason why the resort enjoys its peace and quiet at the same time. Nevertheless, this was no issue given the airport transfers that we had. Once at the lobby, we were ushered to a sitting area and check-in was done very quickly. We were then escorted to our pool villa. Once in the villa, we knew that our choice was right. The views across to the hills opposite and overlooking the river was amazing. It was serene and calming. The villa was spacious and well-equipped. We spent our mornings having breakfast in the villa (the breakfast spread was pretty good), followed by sun tanning out by the private pool, hearing people do white water rafting (by that, I meant hearing their screams as they go by. It was all great fun though, nothing too noisy for our liking.). The pool was pretty huge and you could really swim laps in there. There was also a sunken bathtub that you could enjoy a dip in and we made full use of all the amenities available. In fact, we enjoyed the villa so much that we could barely tear ourselves away from the room.

The staff in the resort were very friendly and helpful. They were always all smiles while delivering your meals or when answering to any requests that were made. One morning, we awoke to a huge spider in our bathroom and had to contact housekeeping to come and remove it (and I mean really huge to the extent that the housekeeping staff themselves exclaimed that they had never seen one this size before!). They arrived promptly and were really professional about it. Maybe they are used to such requests as this place is afterall, set amongst lots of foilage and greenery, therefore, insects are common place.

The resort also had a complimentary shuttle service that took guests out to the Ubud market area. This was a nice touch as it allowed guests to venture out for shopping and dining and some free and easy sight-seeing should they choose to do so.

All in all, The Royal Pita Maha was a good stay and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Only things to consider apart from the insects are what the other reviewers have mentioned about --- presence of many, many steps, which, may or may not be a good thing depending on individual preferences.

Room tip: Request for a hillside pool villa that is higher up. It is closer to the lobby which means less steps (unless you are heading down of course). The views are good too.
