We enjoyed our stay at Alila Ubud very much. The breakfasts with Western & local cuisine were wonderful and the staff was friendly and helpful. The shuttles into Ubud are limited and it is quite spendy to get a taxi. There were also many steps to get to our superior room. This is not the place for people who can't climb steps and walk a lot. The view from our room was beautiful and tranquil. The infinity pool is the best I've ever been in. There was a lot of noise that comes through the walls and thatched roofs. We could hear our neighbors "way too much." Even with the downsides I would recommend this unique hotel far from the crowds in Ubud.

Alila is situated among rice patties and high above the river. The views and grounds are peaceful.
Pros: peaceful, relaxing atmosphere, pool, bar soap smells awesome, staff is friendly and helpful, food is really really good. The breakfast has a menu that you can choose from and everything is delicious. The free yoga in the morning is awesome. Great instructor.
Cons: the only con that I can think of is that the shuttle bus going into Ubud runs in the am with the last one going to town at 11am. The next is at 3pm and the last is at 5:30pm. Therefore, if you want to go into Ubud for dinner or a late massage, you have to take a cab back to hotel. Dinner at hotel is pricey. Really pricey-and the menu doesn't change like it does for breakfast.

Stayed here for three nights in the beginning of May with my bf. Our room had a lovely view of the pool. The room itself was pretty standard but quite disappointed that they did not include a bathroom.Many bugs so bring repellent. Bath products were so-so but i liked the soap which was made using locally sourced ingredients.

Breakfast - love their a la carte menu with great selection of juices, teas, coffee etc. Food selection is limited to about 10-15 items: yogurt, bread basket, eggs, traditional balinese items...quality is really good though.

Complimentary afternoon tea from 4pm everyday. Choice of coffee or tea and 2 balinese style cakes. Not worth coming back from ubud central just for this but if you're relaxing by the pool anyway it's a nice touch.

on 2 out of the three mornings we had an early start and couldn't make it for the breakfast in the restaurant. Informed the front desk and they had a breakfast box prepared for us to take it on our trip (at 3am!).
