למה אנשים אוהבים את זה
- Stunning infinity pool overlooking the lush jungle ravine
- Bathtubs on the balcony for ultimate relaxation
- Incredible value compared to nearby luxury competitors
סיכום מהיר: A visual masterpiece that feels like a 5-star resort until you try to leave the property and hit the local taxi mafia blockade.
סקור על ידי @SeptamiSitompul4191933: I stayed in a cliffside suite here and honestly, the jungle views from my balcony were unforgettable. The hallways are a bit concrete-heavy, but the room itself is a cozy wooden paradise. Perfect for a romantic escape.

Reality check
The food menu gets repetitive after 2 days, and the paid shuttle service feels like a nickel-and-dime move.
- You plan to spend 80% of your time at the pool or spa
- You are comfortable riding a scooter (rentals available on-site)
- You want a romantic, quiet escape away from the Canggu chaos

שאלות נפוצות וטיפים נסתרים
הכל מה שאתה באמת צריך לדעת לפני ההזמנה
Is the shuttle to Ubud free?
No, it costs approximately IDR 75,000 (~$5 USD) per way, which is a common complaint among guests.
Can I use Grab or Gojek here?
You can use them for drop-offs, but pickups are banned by the local village. You'll need to walk about 10-15 minutes away to get a ride.
Is there a floating breakfast?
Yes, available for an extra charge (approx. IDR 200,000-350,000 depending on package).
Are there restaurants within walking distance?
Very few. Karsa Kafe is walkable (via the ridge path), but for dinner, you are mostly limited to the hotel restaurant unless you have transport.
Is the pool heated?
No, but the tropical Bali weather usually keeps it at a refreshing temperature.
Is it suitable for families?
It's allowed, but the vibe is heavily skewed towards couples and honeymooners. The steep ravine drops might be stressful with toddlers.
טיפים פנימיים
- ✨
Walk to Karsa Spa (300m away) for a massage – it's world-class and cheaper than the hotel spa, but book weeks in advance.
- ✨
You are actually at the *top* of the Campuhan Ridge Walk. Walk *down* to Ubud in the morning (cool and downhill) and take a taxi back up.
- ✨
The 'Kawa Hibachi' restaurant on-site is a fun, theatrical dinner option if you're bored of the main menu.
5 דברים שכדאי לדעת לפני שתצא
💡The 'taxi mafia' stand is right outside the gate, watching for Grab drivers.
💡The jungle humidity means swimsuits take forever to dry – bring extras.
💡The monkeys from the forest occasionally visit the balconies (lock your doors!).
💡The bathtub on the balcony is amazing but takes a long time to fill – start it 30 mins early.
💡You can hear the river flowing from the valley floor at night, which is excellent white noise.
