Mangkun Villa Ubud 1

Lots of space, lovely pool (although not great for small children my 6 could touch the floor but 4 yr old couldn’t) comfy beds, large dining area, resident frog, turtle and fish in the pond which the kids loved looking at and the pool table

Nothing

Spacious and nice pool table

Breakfast was moderate nothing fancy as described Stairs to the room upstairs is dangerous Not elderly friendly

Beautiful place, lovely staff and great location

All good

Overall a nice place to stay and location was quiet. Staff were friendly and the breakfast provided was simple but nice. Kids loved the pool and pool table area

Facilities were a little run down and a bit dirty compared to other places we had stayed in Bali. The decking area in particular had green moss build up around the main areas, making it very dangerous to walk, in fact one of our kids did actually slip over and hurt themselves. There is also a walkway of stepping stones to one of the bedrooms, and again very slippery when wet because of the slime build up. Staff onsite was helpful, but sometimes hard to find /get hold of when we had run out of things like toilet paper.

There were many things to like. The asthetic look of the pool area and gardens was like something out of a tropical balinese dream. Geckos and birds, bats and the odd kitten would make appearances daily. All part of the bali experience. Very villa is very pleasing to the eye and had AC in each bedroom. The balinese styling of the kitchen and villa structures was also pleasing. The staff were very friendly and helpful whenever needed. Our driver Gusti was a champion. He delivered the goods when it came to family day activities on more than one occasion. The villa location to Ubud centre was good too. You wouldn’t walk it but nothing a gojek cant fix. We hired a scooter to do any minimart trips we needed which was a massive time saver. Overall, the villa was massive and I’d say the pool area is the standout feature of the property.

Bring your own charging adapters for USB’s. Only 1 x TV in the huge space we occupied. Being concrete type buildings, the poor design layouts of some of the spaces meant poor ventilation and left a musty smell occasionally. Also if you are after a completely secure complex this may not be your cup of tea. Although each of the bedrooms were lockable. Which was good enough for me.
