My husband and I were fortunate enough to stay at this hotel over New Year’s eve this year. We are both experienced luxury travelers and have been all over the world, usually opting for Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton properties. This was the fourth and final property we stayed at in Bali after visiting both Four Seasons hotels as well as the Katamama. This property was above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. I am certain if we had come here first we would have never gone anywhere else. It’s hard to put into words how absolutely breathtaking the property is, or how accommodating and wonderful the staff is. If you’re looking for a true luxury experience like no other this is the place you’ll find it. I highly recommend taking their signature VW tour, it was an amazing experience. We simply can’t wait to visit again.
The Mandapa Ritz-Carlton Reserve definitly delivers an ultra-luxury product. However, the problem is, it's totally overblown, and downright ugly in many respects. A pristine bend on the Ayung river has been transformed into a mega resort not in keeping with the magical tradition of Ubud. It's quite shocking actually that something like this would get approved by Bali's leaders. But apparently, investors from Jakarta, and a GM from Europe have no interest in preserving the real Ubud. The staff are lovely, the food delicious, the rooms immense, and the yoga relaxing, but the same is true many other places in Ubud; places that are far more deserving.
