Mandala Mathika Subak

Tejaprana was a small oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud. The property was beautiful and really provided a sense of calmness and serenity. I enjoyed the fact that there were a limited number of villas, so you never felt like things were crowded or too many people. The staff were excellent and cared for all your needs, all while remembering your name every time they saw you. Those small customer service offerings make a huge difference and really what I have come to expect when traveling in south east Asia. The only negative thing I can say is that there were a large number of gecko's and large black ants (that bite). I ended up with a gecko guest in my room half way through my visit and had the ants all over my patio/pool area which made it less enjoyable to relax out there. However I will say that when I mentioned this to the front desk, they very quickly dispatched someone to come spray the patio area using multiple treatments. Overall, that was a small inconvenience compared to how much I enjoyed the other elements of my stay. After all, it is a tropical/jungle area so our little insect creatures are to be expected. This was a solo trip for me and I absolutely can not wait to return to Bali.

All around this property is five stars. The staff, location, and design/architecture were incredible! However, the one area they need a little work is the dining and restaurant. The staff in the restaurant is really amazing, but some of the food was sub-par for sure. Also, they have a wine bar which seems like a nice touch for a hotel of this caliber… but the wine bar only has three options for a glass pour of wine and the bottle list isn’t quite impressive. All around I still give 5 stars and it’s it truly a great experience. I hope in the future they refine their wine options and improve the menu items that were lacking. Cheers

The property, the view from the villa, the staff and the quality of the service: everything was perfect!! We can't wait to go back.
