Munari Resort and Spa Ubud

From the moment we arrived to the time we left we were made to feel at our second home. All the staff are friendly and helpful, especially the manager Mr Jay. Our villa was lovely,clean and comfortable. The pool was fantastic. Breakfast was a highlight. Can't wait to visit again soon

We stayed here for 4 nights over the Christmas period. It was a lovely place, just outside the main town of Ubud. In walking distance to the main part of Ubud and close to loads of lovely restaurants, art shops and the Neka Art Museum. The Operational Manager Jay, made us feel very welcome. He helped us plan a tour to see some great places in central and northern Bali. The villa areas are always kept clean and the gardens and pool are well kept. Our room was spacious with a large bathroom and balcony; the bed was very comfy and plenty of storage for belongings. AC was superb! We had daily cleaning; and could request amenities whenever. Shower had good pressure and we always had hot water when needed. They always left frangipani flowers in our room, and made it look beautiful. Had access to a kettle, coffee and tea making facilities and daily water provided. The pool was well maintained and at a really nice temperature (cool). We were able to order drinks to the pool which was nice. We also could order snacks and drinks to our room and eat on our balcony. Food was good, and at a reasonable price. Overall, for the price we had a lovely and relaxing stay, all the staff were super friendly and attentive. We would definitely come back. Just a few comments to help improve their services in the future: Rooms in need of some updating or TLC, our bathroom door difficult to open and close, shower head seen better days, and strange burning smell when showering, but I hear that Bali’s water can be smelly/sulphury. Poor WiFi connection in our room; as it was Christmas when we stayed we wanted to call our family back home but we were unable to do this due to the poor connection. We booked via Secret Escapes, it said it included shuttle service to Ubud however when we asked we were told that we would have to book a taxi through them. They need to update their conditions with Secret Escapes as this is not a shuttle service. Need to update their menus. We had breakfast included, and as other reviewers have mentioned it varied day to day. Some menus offered cereal or porridge, some didn’t? A lot of items were not available or said they were unavailable (‘not’ was written next to item) in the menu but actually were available. This was the same for lunch and dinner options too. Very funny interaction at breakfast where the server said ‘Banana or Strawberry pancakes?’ of which I replied ‘Strawberry’, she immediately replied ‘I am sorry we do not have Strawberry pancakes’. We laughed it off; but don’t offer items that you don’t have! Though ‘Spa’ was written throughout its branding no mention of Spa facilities on arrival so cannot review. We were tempted to have some treatments but we were not given any info.

It was a pleasure eating here. The restaurant is beautiful and excellent with great service and the very comfortable open joglo is great to eat in too. The vegetarian menu options were few but very good and enjoyable. With a pizza oven too for parties this must be a fantastic place to stay.
