Mandapa, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve - Wild Luxury

✨Mandapa, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve 1⃣️🍁"At first it was narrow, barely passable, then suddenly opened up to a vast expanse" Unfolding before your eyes is an entire valley, encircled by the rushing Ayung River, with the hidden retreat nestled within, embraced by mountains and waters. The indescribable awe must be experienced in person. A secluded paradise within the world...✨ 2⃣️🌿Rooms Stayed in both the basic suite and villa room types. The basic suite is decent, while the villa offers a more secluded retreat feel. Swimming amidst the forest and rice terraces is truly a delight. Notably, the living room and bedroom are separate, and there's an outdoor shower area that I personally loved✨ 3⃣️🍂Dining The hotel has three restaurants. I recommend Kubu fine dining, featuring cocoon-shaped private rooms made of bamboo weaving. The Japanese restaurant in the lobby offers great views, perfect for sunset cocktails and light snacks. Breakfast is à la carte plus buffet - visually appealing but not outstanding in taste✨ 4⃣️🍀Facilities The hotel's public areas are spread across terraces and along the river. Snacks and coconuts are refreshed by the poolside. The lounge offers pastries and drinks, perfect for long moments of river gazing. Nature itself is the luxury here - the hotel's ecosystem is excellent, with sightings of lizards, monkeys, squirrels, and the hotel's own calves, chickens, ducks, and geese. Additionally, the hotel has its own shuttle service for scheduled transfers to Ubud's downtown attractions✨
