A charming jungle resort.
Pros:

This resort was located in a remote area outside Ubud. Situated in the jungle, the views were extraordinary. The accommodation and amenities were wonderful and had a rustic charm. I had the best massage of my life. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. It was well worth the two hour taxi ride from the airport. We will be returning again!

Excellent stay with outstanding service, delicious food, smooth transportation, and warm hospitality.
Pros:

I had an excellent stay at Adiwana Dara Ayu Hotel, where every service exceeded my expectations. The room service was fast, attentive, and always delivered with a smile. The food was outstanding, fresh, and full of flavor, thanks to the talented chef who clearly puts great care into every dish. Transportation arrangements were smooth, reliable, and very convenient throughout my stay. I would like to give special appreciation to Adi, Wayne, and the Chef for their exceptional hospitality, professionalism, and personal attention. Their dedication truly made my experience memorable. I highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful and luxurious stay.

An Unforgettable Sanctuary of Balinese Hospitality
Pros:

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. If you are looking to disconnect and unwind away from the crowds, this is the perfect sanctuary. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, providing the peace and quiet we truly needed.

The culinary experience was a highlight—the food was beautifully presented, and we particularly loved the authentic local dishes on the menu.

What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the service. We experienced true Balinese hospitality at its finest. Mang J and his team were incredibly attentive and made sure every detail of our stay was perfect.

A special thank you to Adi, our driver, who was exceptional. He wasn't just a driver but a fantastic tour guide who took us to the most breathtaking waterfalls, temples, and hidden gems for local food. He was patient, professional, and shared so much fascinating history about every site we visited. We can't wait to return!

Great place, 10/10
Pros:

Everything and everyone was amazing! We especially enjoyed the company of our driver Adi, who showed us a unique salak village, the Besakih temple and accompanied us to Tirta Gangga! Would absolutely thank him and recommend to any future travelers!
The place itself is a magic - so beautiful and peaceful that it makes you want to stay and just enjoy the view.

Our experience with Adiwana Dara Ayu
Pros:

We left Adiwana Dara Ayu in the middle of the night due to moldy, foul-smelling bedding. The manager refused to help, and we’re still chasing a refund through Loveholidays. This place is nowhere near 4.5 stars and should be investigated for hygiene and management issues.

Arguably the most amazing jungle experience you may have in your lifetime.
Pros:

The hotel stay was amazing. The walk down to the restaurant from the lobby area is quite literally magical as are the views. Colourful flowers and plants on each side as you step down some stepping stones through some delicate ponds and carved art, it really does feel other worldly.

The swimming pools are genuinely to die for. The panoramic views from both pools will be sights to be missed everyday. And you could spent the whole time just walking through the gardens around the complex.

The food experience was dreamy. The restaurants sits on a hill with insane 360 degree wide of rice fields and the jungle. In the sun, you may just want to sit out your earphones on and just watch the birds dance around. The 3 course breakfast is not only incredibly tasty, but grimly filling till dinner.

All of the staff are so friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Astini, Adi, Wena, Parwata who made our stay incredible and whom we interacted with most. We had a wonderful time and would recommend.

Other notables: Rooms are such a chill and comfortable vibe, beds are super comfy and while rooms airconned. Massage treatment is exhilarating, leaves you feeling like a zen-ed or marshmallow. And the yoga class is quite fun and challenging. Cooking lessons were the highlight of the experience! Worth doing is you have the time. And for the social media fans, YOU must do a floating breakfast!

Only Enjoyed the view and the decoration of the hotel
Pros:

The Place as nature and view are awesome . Staff are friendly and helpful but too loud and noisy starting from 6h am . Woke up 2 days in a row on loud kitchen noise and talking.
Food was average comparing to the beauty of the place also cant easily find a car or a market near .
Laundry was the most expensive in bali.
I was expecting the place to be calmer. Couldnt even meditate at 6ham . The room in the kitchen floor was a mistake . We felt like we are sleeping litteraly in the kitchen.
I would've appreciated if i knew this before to reserve a better away room from the staff.
Thank you.
