Sangeh Monkey Forest

A lovely oasis in Ubud. If you planned to stay onsite and just relax, it's great. There is a gorgeous pool and a spa where you can get massages. I didn't feel great about walking on the streets immediately off site. Not because it was sketchy, but there was a lot of traffic and no space to walk. Sometimes you had to walk on the road and I'm a terrified American that didn't want to be taken out by fast moving vehicles. I feel that's reasonable. The actual hotel was amazing though. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Rooms were comfortable and beautiful. You were provided a basket of tropical fruits daily in the room. Breakfast was included and abundant options available. On top of that, you had tea time in the afternoon. When you did want to go on an excursion, you can catch one of their shuttles that drop you off along a path that included city center and the monkey forest. I didn't partake in the other activities offered, but definitely look into things they offer for free. I changes daily I believe. If I ever returned to Ubud, I would not hesitate to come back here.

We had an incredible stay at Sumitra and couldn’t recommend it more highly. Everything was exceptional from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was warm, attentive and genuinely outstanding, and we were pleasantly surprised by how reasonably priced everything was. The location was perfect for us—peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle, yet only a short bike ride to restaurants, beaches and anything else we wanted to explore. The complimentary bikes were one of the highlights of our stay and made getting around so easy and enjoyable. The spa was another standout. We had some of the best massages we’ve ever experienced, and it was the perfect way to relax during our holiday. We would absolutely stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sumitra to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing stay with exceptional hospitality.
