Positive:
+ The villa itself is beautiful, has an amazing view and is located directly in the jungle.
+ Also the location is perfect; just outside of Ubud, far away from the noisy streets and therefore very quiet but still accessible by "Grab Taxi".
+ It was always very clean and tidy after daily room service. In the evening they also close the mosquito nets above the bed and set up mosquito-repellents.
Negative:
- The biggest negative point is the staff being very intrusive. If you stay at the villa for the day, they drop by several times during the day. To prevent that you can close the main gate. But if you close the main gate, this changes to calling or texting several times. Ergo the relaxing atmosphere of this villa is disturbed by the staff on a regular basis.
- Also the staff is over-extraordinarily friendly; even if that sounds weird, but they ask the same exact default small talk questions about your day every time they see you. So with time we tried to avoid any possible contact.
- A further negative is the breakfast always being cold when we got it. They even request you to tell them the day before the exact time at which the breakfast should be served; still it was cold every time.
General information:
u003e As the villa is in the jungle, there are some insects around and also geckos. Three geckos even lived with us in the villa. They didn't really bother us much as they lived on the inside ceiling and they ate the insects that managed to sneak in. But sometimes they left poop on the table/floor, but which was always promptly cleaned by the Cloud Nine Team.
u003e The villa offers to hire a taxi, which we used twice. But in general it is 50% cheaper to just hire a taxi with the Grab app to get to the centre of Ubud.
tl;dr: Beautiful villa and perfect location for relaxing, whereas the relaxing vibe is disturbed by the intrusive staff.
