Purana Boutique Resort

We stayed for 4 nights in one of their private villas in early May. Location is on the southern side of ubud center so arriving from the airport direction you don't have to endure the traffic of the town center. At first glance the entrance seems small and modest but you don't have to take 3 steps from the car to reach the reception. Reception seems to be open 24h a day and you can always reach someone instantly by phone. There are also a lot of really good retaurants nearby within a short walking distance and mini market and such. For example Sacred Rice restaurant nearby is definitely something you have to visit, best fine dining experience we had. Area is also peaceful, I had an accident during our trip but didn't have any difficulties walking with crutches in the neighbourhood which tells a lot if you know how chaotic the local traffic can be. The Villa is simply amazing. The entrance is charming little walkway through green corridoor resmebling a fairytale and you arrive at the terrace area with your private pool, outdoor kitchen and the entrance to inside. The outdoor and inside areas are completely private. Inside of the villa you have a really nice kingsize bed that is one of the most comfortable beds I've come across away from home, a day bed, bathroom area and abundance of storage space. The toilet is partly outside area on one side of the bathroom and on the other side there is the bathtub and shower also loacated outside. We've stayed at a lot of resorts that can be categorized as luxury but everything in the villa was of good quality, no corners were cut and everything felt like someone had built the place to the highest standards to live there themselves and not like trying to have the most luxorious feel and look for the cheapest price. Pool was probably the cleanest we saw during our 15 day stay on the island, and everything inside the villa was spotles as well. Resort has a small and cozy restaurant that has tables on two floors located by the reception building and food there was delicious. Breakfast was not served in the restaurant but brought to our room and we could enjoy it in privacy by the pool. You can also order dinner to your villa and we even had nice balinese couples massage on our own terrace. They have few cars you can hire to take you to ubud and back for free or for a longer trip and the cars are spacious, new and clean. The cost for longer trips is little more than you would pay for a random gojek driver but the extra price is absolutely worth it for the quality of the service. But what really is the best part about the resort is the people. The resort isn't that big so you quickly become familiar with the staff and almost everyone spoke clearly better than average english. When arriving or coming back from a walk the staff greeted us with "welcome home" that sounded cheesy branding attempt but it grew on us quickly and when it was time to check out it really felt like leaving your friends and family behind. We

This was an amazing experience for myself and my family. The rooms were spacious, clean and had all we needed including a lovely pool and sun bed. The beds have mosquitos nets around it but as we were blasting the AC, we didn’t have to worry about them too much. The service was impeccable. All the staff had a smile on their faces with no hesitation to answer any questions we had. Notable staff included Komkng, Eka, Today, Agus and Hendra and the 2 lovely girls who served breakfast on our last day. We also highly praise all of the other staff as well but I didn’t get their names. I would highly recommend.

Had a amazing stay at this resort! The room was very spacious, and came with a private pool! The staff is very nice, and made us feel very special.

Just left purana with my family. We stayed in a 2 bed villa,we were really affected by the construction work which looks nearly finished but really did affect our stay,in a few weeks hopefully finished.I think the best call would be not to offer the 2 bed villa as it is a few feet from the construction from another property. We were compensated by the manager and offered to move to another villa(away from the hotel).We went a day trip and used pool club in ubud to get away.Expense that we hadn't counted on but the pool was unusable. Reading that you might think why not 1 star.The place is amazing and the staff are outstanding especially Today, he is really helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent and very peaceful compared to central ubud.Breakfast is chosen the night before and a good choice and again to a high standard. Having young children we used gojek to get into central ubud rather than the shuttle but it drops off in a good location. Would definitely return if we stay in ubud again.

Stayed here recently after reading so many glowing reviews and there is certainly much to like. We were lucky enough to have a private pool villa which was wonderful. Couldn't really fault the room, pool or outside area although the semi-outdoor toilet/bathroom could really benefit from somewhere to hang a towel or dressing gown. The staff are wonderfully helpful and friendly and the free shuttle into Ubud is very useful. There are some fabulous restaurants within an easy walk, such as Sacred Rice. The disappointment for us was the amount of noise - this mainly comes from barking and howling local dogs who are roaming around. I guess due to the layout of the resort some rooms could be more affected than others. Also, the villa next to us had a young child staying there who woke us up at 6/6.30am a couple of times when loudly using the outside/pool area. I think the resort would be better as adult only and people wihout kids may want to be aware of this. Yoga - we were a bit disappointed to find it was only available at 7am - we are on holiday after all! Finally, the breakfast, whilst fine and a good selection, it lacked some of the Bali-style fruit, seed and granola healthy breakfast bowls that we have enjoyed before. Hopefully some useful feedback here and thanks for a lovely stay.

The experience at Purana was incredible. You feel like you are walking into a rainforest paradise as you are walking to your room. We stayed in the 2 bedroom villa and it was definitely worth it. We felt like royalty for a whole week, especially how the staff took great care of us. Response time for any request was very quick. The only reason I did not give 5 stars for cleanliness is that the outdoor eating area will obviously get a little dirty but that is to be expected. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The staff is amazing! I appreciated their enthusiasm and helpfulness. We ended up eating all our meals at the hotel. The food was always fresh and delicious. However, one aspect that slightly tarnished my experience was the constant construction noise. Although the hotel itself was impressive, the ongoing construction work nearby disrupted the peace and quiet, which is specifically why I booked the room that walks out to the pool. I envisioned long, peaceful days of lounging by the pool. Just on the other side of the fence is loud construction noise from 8am-6pm, so we needed to vacate the property during those hours. Also, as stated in other reviews, the laundry service is disappointing; it does have a non- clean smell upon being returned 24 hrs later. The hotel is located just outside of the hustle and bustle of Ubud, on a quiet road with many other resorts and spas; not many food options. And, their cleaning protocol could be upped: we had pink mildew in our shower, and the pool had a lot of green algae. Our room had a musty/mildew smell, especially when you would come back to the room and start up the AC. I would open both doors to clear out the smell.
