Ubud Travel Forum

My friends have asked me to find some accommodation for them in Ubud as I have travelled to Bali quite a few times. I am trying to locate a website for Cendana Resort & Spa in Ubud but have had no luck. Does anyone know of a website or email address for this hotel?

Also if anyone has stayed at the Pertiwi Resort or Champlung Sari both on Monkey Forest Road would you please let me know what you thought of both Hotels ie. cleanliness, cost, location and any general comments.

I previously stayed at Artini II Cottages on Jalan Hanoman which is a gorgeous little hotel and brilliantly priced. However, the only downfall is that it's a bit of a walk to get to the restaurants and shopping on Monkey Forest Road, hence why my friends are looking for accommodation on Monkey Forest.

Thanks....

I just sent you a reply to your e-mail which might be of use to you. Cheers from Ubud, Roy

I stayed in Pertiwi. The room was just ok. Nothing to shout about. But the swimming pool was fantastic. The compound of the hotel doesn't look very big from the entrance but it is huge inside.

On my another trip to Ubud I also stayed at Ulun Ubud, which is not really right in town. It is about 5-10 minutes drive away but they provide free shuttle into town. Costlier than Pertiwi but it does feel slightly more exclusive, the villas are perched overlooking the river. Nice balcony.

Thank you so much for your reply - much appreciated.

Hi,
I have always enjoyed staying at Junias House in Penestan Ubud.
Here is some information I was allowed to post on Indahnesia.com as I ahve contributed over 100 useful posts of information over the years.

There is no pool at Junias House, but for a small fee June the owner has negotiated use of pools near by.

I have stayed at the Cendana before and it was very good as it has a great pool which looks over the rices fields and location is great - make sure you try Lemak. Last trip stayed at the Komaneka on Monkey Forest road and this was fantastic. I have had friends stay at the Champlung Sari and they did not like it at all, though this was a few years ago but the staff were not friendly, rooms small and dingy.
