Rijasa Agung Resort and Villas

If busy Bali is not for you, then this Resort may suit your travel requirements. All rooms have valley and Ayung River views. Beautiful infinity pool, which we had to ourselves each day. Restaurant is basic and will suffice for a quick meal. Ayung Resort restaurant next door is beautiful and you are welcome to book for dinner - highly recommend. Free shuttle bus to and from Ubud very easy and times are accommodating. Rooms are very spacious and clean. The Resort is not new, but very clean and in good repair

If you want a quiet location to relax (away from the rat-race of Kuta) and you have done all the sightseeing on a previous Bali trip this may be the place for you. Beautiful views over the river valley with rice terraces and water rafting in the river below. Free shuttle to Ubud (20 mins) keeps you connected for shopping and good evening meal choices and you can source lots of other activities in the Ubud area from the town. Facilities at the hotel are not numerous and although the horizon pool is nice there is little deck chair space and the pool bar is not always open. Staff are very friendly and helpful and you can book services like massage (very reasonable at $25) from the front desk. Airport transfers (takes about 80 minutes) at $25 are good value. Only real downside are the meals at the hotel which I could not recommend as they can't seem to serve any of them hot (breakfast grill was cold on two days and the bae marie breakfast which is only one day per week, was only slightly better). Selection is reasonable but they need a complete review of recipes as very few are what you expect, for example, Caesar Salad was just slivers of vegetables with some sort of mayonnaise and croutons of small soggy toast squares instead of crisp cubes and no bacon. Pizza bases are terrible, they need a genuine pizza base dough and egg on a pizza is not 3 fried eggs flattened on top of the base! Until the food improves I would choose to take the shuttle to Ubud, even for late breakfast.

the reception lady was rude and unprofessional.She refused to divulge her name

Inconvenience of hotel location plus lack of hotel facilities.

Auf den ersten Blick wirkt das Hotel und der Ausblick toll! Die Zimmer sind groß und sauber. Das Restaurant lässt leider zu wünschen übrig. Ungemütlicher Essbereich, qualitativ kein gutes Frühstück, Servicepersonal im Restaurant und Rezeption spricht und versteht kaum englisch. Für 1-2 Nächte Durchreise ist es ok, wenn man außerhalb in Ubud isst, aber für mehr nicht.

ロケーションはよく、部屋の雰囲気も良い。 ただ、清潔感が無い。 部屋に入ると排水溝の臭いがする。 虫の死骸がテーブル、ベッドに沢山。 ２日目のベッドにはなかったので、恐らく、長く宿泊客が泊まっていない部屋に 掃除もせず、１日目は通されたのだろう。 歯磨き粉は固まっており、使えなかった。 宿泊客がほとんど泊まっていないホテルで、人気がないのかな？といった印象。 スタッフの応対は良い。 朝食はあまりおいしくない。 次は利用しない。

I stayed three nights and loved it! If you're after the whole Kuta Bali experience then this is not the place for you. If you're after stunning views, nature (I saw monkeys, lizards, frogs, birds from my balcony) and a relaxing get away from it all then this hotel is great. A free shuttle into Ubud is easy to organise for spa treatments (Bali Botanical is great) and sightseeing in Ubud, whilst the hotel itself provided clean rooms and friendly accomodating service. The language capabilities of the stafff where adequate to the standards I've encountered on previous trips to Bali, no worse. An attempt to learn a few words in the native language goes a long way as it does anywhere in the world (ie; terima kasih - thankyou, tolong - please). As a solo woman traveller, I also felt very comfortable - don't be put off by expedia claims that "clothing is optional" as throughout my stay all guests and staff etc were suitably clothed as befits the traditional culture of the Balinese. All in all, a great place to stay if you want to think, relax, swim in a boutique hotel, away from the strobe lights and crowds in Kuta.

The staff are ever so kind, they do have some difficulty understanding english but go out of there way to be of service. The 10 min. shuttle ride is definetly worth it as you can't get such a location in the center of Ubud. The grounds are breathtaking, the views from the balcony in the rooms is surreal. We highly recommend this hotel.

Came straight from central Kuta, so a big and not to mention needed change of pace. Views are amazing, people are great and the hotel was spotless. easy to get into Ubud witht the free drop off and pick up but we just hired a scooter for about $5 AUD per day in Ubud. Worth the stay, plenty of options around the area for physical activity to keep you busy.

This hotel has the most spectular view of the river valley that if managed properly could be a jewel. Unfortunately, the lack of an english speaking on-site general manager and poor international language skiils prevent this. Examples include assigning and delivering the wrong bags to the wrong room, bugs and dirt in rooms, no chairs on a private pool, no functioning bar, and a poorly timed shuttle service. The local staff lacks training and most significantly leadership serving an international cliental. Several customers checked out early and most had problems that appeared to be communciations related. Thje owners need to wake up and staff the place with professionally trained hotel management personnel, and not a low cost local staffer without the necessary skills. AVOID THIS PROPERTY.
