I almost want to keep this place a secret…it is that special. Divine surroundings, delightful staff, delectable swimming pool and dreamy waterfall. The restaurant serves delicious, beautifully presented food at excellent prices. We stayed in a villa over the lily ponds and the sound of the water was magical and so relaxing. I liked that it is surrounded by Balinese villages but if you want to walk out and shop, this is not for you. We hope to return.

There are some workshops and shops for painting, woodworking, kites and silver decorations around. But there were no restaurants at all, so there was no choice but hotel restaurant. The purpose of my stay was to do nothing, so I enjoyed a relaxing stay, taking walks and reading books, drinking local spirit with locals. "All the staff were friendly, and I especially thank to Ayu."

This was I think our 4 or 5 time to stay there. Over all we love the place and intend to stay there again. What I did not like is that they were not clear on when the restaurant closed. It closes at 10 pm is all they said when we checked in. What they did not say was that they stop taking orders at 900. I have cancer and need to eat when I take my medication. The guy in the restaurant did not care. It was not until I spoke with a manager that they agreed to get me something to eat and brought it to our room. I will be more aware the next time

I liked the quietness and cleanness! The breakfast was bit average. This can be improved!

Amazingly friendly staff. We bought the inclusive food package and were very pleased with the food. The setting was perfect for us as we were looking for a relaxing first couple days of a month long trip o Bali and Thailand. I would stay here again if I came back to Bali in the future

Great gardens ..very friendly staff.. excellent service

Excellent staff service. Very quiet and away from city. Good for family and delicious breakfast. Will be better if towels have no stain and no lizards in the rooms. Unless you are ok with lizard singing in the middle of the night. Spa is great. Had one dinner in the restaurant and no regret at all (good food and very entertaining young band playing modern songs). Wifi is not that good in certain area of the villa but ok overall.

This was one of the most beautiful places we've ever stayed - we got a one-bedroom villa with a private pool and would highly recommend it if you want to really switch off and experience pure relaxation. The breakfast area was stunning and it was such a treat starting the morning immersed in nature. Would highly recommend a trip to the spa - I had an aromatherapy massage which was great but the main highlight was the beautiful, tranquil surroundings. The free 10 min shuttle into town is very handy - we were worried about the property being too far away from Ubud but it's so easy to get in and feels good being outside the busy city.

Beautiful and quite location with natural waterfall onsite. They offer excellent food with quality of helpful and friendly service. Perfect place to stay, practice yoga and recharge your batteries. I really enjoyed to stay at Santi Mandala Villa & Spa and would wish to come back here again.

We had a (not so) private villa. Poor layout had a huge window with clear line of sight to our bathroom/shower and our 'private' pool from other rooms. Property has it's charms but it's a bit older and run down. Staff was inauthentic, incessantly asking what you were doing today, where you were from, and pushing their spa sessions as if reading from a charmless playbook. Breakfast would have been in line with expectations had we not been pestered to answer the same exact questions from 5 separate employees. Came home one very hot day to find our room AC turned off. They organized a taxi for us at double the average rate. Wi-Fi spotty. Title says it all - Never Again. Way to many nicer choices available for LESS. P.S. We stayed in villas at 4 locations around the island, as well as 2 other hotels during our visit. Two of the other villas were less expensive than this one and all three were a much better experience. Our hotel rooms were also better than this 'villa' experience.

I struggle to think of Santi Mandala's equal. The location, level of comfort, effort taken to ensure the quality of the stay, the sense of escape and luxury and pervading mood of relaxation is a rare and precious thing. It is a place to lose yourself and find something worth remembering.

This hotel is out of any tourist locations, which is great if you want few days in a great resort, or are comfortable with taking a shuttle or taxi anywhere. It is an hour from the airport and driving distance to the beach. But great for relaxing for few days by the pool, without any crowds. I was celebrating my birthday at the hotel and the staff prepared little cake for me and sang happy birthday. The personnel is really very friendly and the food was delicious.
