Escape to Paradise: Nyamane Ubud's Unbelievable Green Villas
Escape to Paradise: Nyamane Ubud - My Ubud Sanctuary! (A Messy, Honest Review)
Okay, friends, let's talk about Escape to Paradise: Nyamane Ubud. They call it that. I'm gonna call it… well, maybe "My Sanity Saver." After the week I had? Yeah, it was a godsend. I mean, seriously. Ubud is like… sensory overload in the best way possible, and Nyamane? Nyamane is the perfect antidote.
First off, let me be honest: I'm not exactly a seasoned traveler. I'm more of a "pack-too-much-and-then-panic-when-I-realize-I-packed-too-much" type. So accessibility is HUGE for me. And Nyamane? They get it. There's a lift, proper ramps… the facilities for disabled guests are actually… well, facilitating. They do say it's a hotel for everyone, and even if they don't perfectly meet every need, they sure try. The staff are super helpful (more on that later).
Accessibility: A Big Yes! (Mostly)
Yeah, I saw Facilities for Disabled Guests and I felt a bit like "Oh great, another hotel that says they're accessible." But honestly? It was pretty darn good. Getting around the grounds with my (massive!) suitcase was a breeze and the main areas were all easy peasy.
The Green Villas: Lushness Overload (in a Good Way!)
I’m guessing that you, like me, are primarily interested in the Unbelievable Green Villas part of the name. And you know what? They're not kidding. Think lush! Think jungle-esque! Think… Instagram gold, people! The photos online are good, but the reality? The reality practically drips with green. Seeing my room was my favorite part, I was greeted there with free Bottle of water and a Mirror that helped me know that I was in heaven!
Internet & Wi-Fi: Connected… but Not Too Connected (Thank GOODNESS)
Okay, so the Free Wi-Fi in all rooms is a must for, you know, posting those Insta-worthy pictures. And it actually works. Like, really works. I could stream my shows, video call my mom… all the usual suspects. There's also Internet access – LAN if you're old-school, but honestly, the Wi-Fi was perfect. They even have a Wi-Fi in public areas so you can stay connected, but I will be frank, I didn't use it. I wanted OFF the grid.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Your Inner Peace Playground
This is where Nyamane shines. Seriously. They practically beg you to unwind. Let's dive deep…
- The Spa: Okay, so they have a Spa and Spa/sauna, Sauna, Steamroom all that luxe stuff. But here's my story: I was stressed. REALLY stressed. Like the kind of stressed where your jaw is clenched and you're pretty sure you forgot how to breathe. I went for the Massage. I chose a Balinese massage and let me tell you, the masseuse was a magician. I think I actually drooled. I remember feeling like all my tension just… melted. It was THAT good. Body scrubs and Body wraps are also offered and trust me, get them both.
- The Pool: The Pool with view is… well, the view is exactly what you'd expect. Lush! Green! Paradise! I spent hours there, just floating. I didn't feel a thing. I wanted to go to the Gym/fitness, but the pool was so distracting and relaxing I never got around to it.
- The Food: The food scene is epic. The hotel provides a range of different cuisines. I was very pleased to find a Vegetarian restaurant in the hotel. I think everyone will find something to make them happy.
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe (Not Just Saying It)
This is HUGE, especially these days. The Anti-viral cleaning products and the Daily disinfection in common areas are appreciated. The Room sanitization opt-out available is also great. The staff actually seemed genuinely concerned with hygiene and the Staff trained in safety protocol made me feel more comfortable.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Fueling the Relaxation
- The Restaurants: OMG, the food! I swear it's like they have a professional chef on every corner, with all the Restaurants they provide, with options from Asian to International cuisine.
- The Bar: Perfect for a pre-Dinner cocktail or Happy hour.
- Room Service: The Room service [24-hour] is a game-changer! (Especially after a super relaxing spa session!)
Services & Conveniences: Making Life Easy
From Cash withdrawal to Laundry service, from a Concierge who actually knows things to a Daily housekeeping service that’s flawless, these guys are pros.
(Okay, a Tiny Imperfection… BUT It Was Sweet)
Alright, here’s my one not-so-glowing observation. One morning, my Breakfast in room was a little… late. Fine, I didn't need to wake up at 7:00 am and eat as I had planned to – I guess it was a blessing in disguise. But the apology? So sincere. They comped my breakfast the next day. Small gesture, HUGE impact. The Breakfast takeaway service is there too.
My Honest-to-God Recommendation

Luxury Redefined: Uncover Hotel Sui Guwahati's Hidden Gems
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because we're about to dive headfirst into a week of Balinese bliss (or possible disaster, let's be honest) at Nyamane Ubud Green View Villas. This isn't some perfectly curated Instagram feed; this is real life, with all its glorious chaos. Let's do this…
My Ubud, Bali: The Messy Guide
Day 1: Arrival & "OMG IS THIS HEAVEN?" Syndrome (with a side of Bali Belly Anxiety)
- 10:00 AM: Landed in Denpasar, Bali. Already sweating. Like, a LOT. The humidity is a beast! My carefully curated "boho chic" travel outfit (linen pants, oversized sunglasses… yeah right) is instantly sticking to me. Airport chaos. Smiles everywhere. It's so disorienting and lovely at the same time.
- 11:30 AM: Taxi pickup (pre-arranged - smart move, future me!). Traffic. Oh. My. Gods. Imagine a swarm of colorful mopeds engaged in a ballet of near-misses, honking their way through a tropical jungle. It's terrifying and mesmerizing. The driver, Wayan (I think), is incredibly zen, probably because he's seen it all a million times.
- 1:00 PM: Arrived at Nyamane Ubud Green View Villas. “Ooooh…” My jaw actually dropped. Photos didn't do it justice. Lush greenery, the scent of frangipani, an infinity pool that looks like it’s spilling into the rice paddies. This is what I call LIVING. Immediate internal battle: do I unpack, or dive straight into the pool? (Pool obviously wins.)
- 2:00 PM: Pool time! Floating. Sipping a Bintang (Bali's local beer - basic, I know, but delicious). The sun is brutal though. Gotta remember sunscreen. Seriously.
- 3:00 PM: Attempted unpacking. Failed. Too distracted by the monkeys chattering in the trees. (Cue: "MONKEYS! OH MY GOD, MONKEYS!" excitement)
- 4:00 PM: Lunch at the villa's restaurant: nasi goreng (classic, and amazing!) and fresh mango juice. Praying the food gods are on my side and Bali Belly doesn't come knocking. I've heard horror stories.
- 6:00 PM: Sunset stroll. OMG. The rice paddies are GOLDEN. Literal golden hour. My eyes are probably hurting. Trying to do all the things, but also taking deep breaths and just being.
- 7:30 PM: Dinner at a warung (small local restaurant) recommended by Wayan. It’s called "Warung Made" - very local, and I mean, local. The food is incredible — spicy, fragrant, and so different from anything I'm used to. My tongue might be on fire, but I'm in love with the flavors.
- 9:00 PM: Back at the villa. Mosquitoes are vicious. Applying copious amounts of repellent. Feeling like I could sleep for a month. Journaling. Already plotting how I’m going to extend my trip…
- 9:30 PM: This wifi is terrible.
Day 2: Temple Hopping & Spiritual Awkwardness (and a near-miss with a Monkey)
- 8:00 AM: Woke up. Sort of. Jet lag is a real thing. Breakfast in the room: pancakes, fresh fruit… delicious. Thinking I look like a tourist with a camera.
- 9:00 AM: Hired a driver (again, Wayan!). Heading to the Tirta Empul Temple. It's this famous temple with holy springs for ritual cleansing.
- 10:00 AM: Tirta Empul: The crowds are insane! But the atmosphere is so… spiritual. The water is freezing. I accidentally splashed holy water on a woman’s prayer and felt like the biggest idiot ever. (Deep breaths.)
- 11:30 AM: Coffee plantation visit. Drinking Luwak coffee (coffee made from partially digested coffee cherries by civet cats). Honestly? Tastes like… coffee. But the whole process is bizarre and fascinating, I think.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch with a view: Warung with rice fields.
- 2:30 PM: Attempted to see the Tegallalang Rice Terraces. So stunning. So many tourists. So many Instagram opportunities. I spent 40 minutes waiting for the perfect picture. Not worth it.
- 4:00 PM: Ubud Monkey Forest. This is where things got interesting. Don’t make direct eye contact with the monkeys, the guide said. Yeah, right. I made direct eye contact. One large, hairy bandit tried to steal my sunglasses. Screamed like a banshee. Very graceful. Still have my glasses.
- 5:00 PM: Had a traditional Balinese massage. It was amazing.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a restaurant with a view. The food's good, the company's better.
- 8:30 PM: Bed. This day was long and interesting.
Day 3: Yoga, Rice Fields, and Unexpected Melodies (A Deep Dive)
- 7:00 AM: Yoga class at the villa. Finally, some zen! Except I’m terrible at yoga. I'm wobbly and uncoordinated.
- 8:30 AM: Breakfast.
- 9:30 AM: Walk in the rice fields. The views are spectacular again.
- 12:00 PM: Visited a local arts and crafts market. Got lost in the chaos. Everything is so beautiful.
- 2:00 PM: Attempted to get a cooking class.
- 4:00 PM: Watched a traditional Balinese dance performance. The costumes are unbelievable!
- 6:00 PM: Dinner somewhere.
- 7:30 PM: Back to the villa.
- 9:00 PM: I heard the most beautiful music. I walked away.
Day 4: Adventures and Spontaneity (and Dealing with the Unexpected)
- 8:00 AM: Today is an adventure day. Decided to rent a scooter.
- 9:00 AM: Failed to manage a scooter.
- 10:00 AM: Got a driver.
- 11:00 AM: Visited a massive waterfall. So cool, but so many stairs!
- 1:00 PM: Ate at a restaurant. The view was beautiful.
- 3:00 PM: Visiting a local village.
- 5:00 PM: Back to the villa.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner with drinks.
Day 5: The Art of Doing Nothing (and Maybe a Little Bit More)
- 9:00 AM: Slept in, finally. Glorious.
- 10:30 AM: Breakfast by the pool. Book and sunscreen.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch.
- 2:00 PM: Read a book.
- 4:00 PM: Maybe go for a walk.
- 6:00 PM: Watched the sunset.
- 8:00 PM: Dinner.
Day 6: Farewell Feast & Final Reflections (or, "I Don't Want to Leave!")
- 9:00 AM: Final breakfast. Tears in my coffee.
- 10:00 AM: Last dip in the pool. Sigh.
- 11:00 AM: Packing. Still failing, but trying.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch.
- 2:00 PM: Prepare for the drive to the airport.
- 3:00 PM: The driver is here.
This itinerary is, shall we say, a "work in progress." It’s less about ticking boxes and more about letting Bali wash over me. So, yes, some things are planned, some things are not. Some things are brilliant, some are… less so. But it's mine. And maybe, just maybe, that's what makes it perfect. Wish me luck!
Queen Margarette Hotel: Lucena's Downtown Jewel (Luxury Awaits!)
So, "Escape to Paradise," huh? Sounds a bit… overhyped. Does it actually *live* up to the name?
Alright, alright. Let's just say my expectations were set to "skeptical but hopeful." I’ve seen brochures, you know? Those glossy pages promising you nirvana, usually involving a yoga pose and a suspiciously perfect coconut. Nyamane Ubud? Well, it *leans* into paradise. There are definitely moments. Like, the first time you step into the utterly ridiculous, obscenely green villa. Seriously, the foliage is intense. It's like living inside a jungle fever dream. You feel immediately cooler, like, literally, the temperature drops a few degrees. BUT... (and there's always a but, isn't there?) ... sometimes, the "escape" part involves fending off the occasional rogue lizard. They're cute, in a "I'm-going-to-steal-your-rice-bowl-while-you-sleep" kind of way. So, yeah, it's good. Really good. But perfection is a *lie*, friends. A beautiful, Instagram-worthy lie.
Those villas… Are they actually as green as the pictures? Because photos are often… embellished.
Okay, here's the truth bomb. The pictures? They're… accurate. Maybe even *understated*. I mean, the photos don't capture the sheer *volume* of greenness. It’s a sensory overload. You've got the lush bamboo, the vibrant ferns, the flowers that look like they’re auditioning for a role in Avatar. And then, little details. Like, the way the light filters through the leaves, creating these dappled patterns on your skin. It’s… *a lot*. I'm not gonna lie, on the first day, I think I actually said out loud, "Am I hallucinating? Is this real life?" Which, let’s be honest, is a sign you’re doing something right. The only downside? Apparently, green things attract mosquitoes. And those little buggers… they are *vicious*. Stock up on repellant. Seriously.
What about the food? Because all that beauty is useless if the food is garbage.
Okay, food is critical. In my book, it's practically a make-or-break situation when you are in paradise. Luckily, Nyamane doesn’t disappoint (mostly). Breakfast? Glorious. Fresh fruit that tastes like sunshine, perfectly cooked eggs, and strong coffee (bless you, coffee gods). Lunch and dinner? Also fantastic. They've got a little restaurant on-site, which serves up traditional Balinese dishes. The Nasi Goreng? Epic. The Gado-Gado? Divine. The only real problem? I developed a serious addiction to their banana pancakes. And the staff? The sweetest people you'll ever meet. They're always smiling, always helpful, and always ready to refill your iced tea. I think I gained five pounds, but hey, I'm embracing the "vacation weight" life. Worth. Every. Calorie.
Okay, so it sounds pretty perfect, right? What's the catch? There *has* to be a catch.
See, here's where things get interesting. Nothing is ever perfect. And Nyamane is no exception. The biggest "catch" is the location. Ubud is amazing, right? But it's also… bustling. You're not exactly secluded. You’ll hear the occasional scooter revving its engine (a soundtrack of Bali), and the distant sounds of the temple ceremonies (which, admittedly, are pretty magical, even if they do wake you up early). Then, as I mentioned, the bugs. They *will* find you. Stock up on repellent, pack some anti-itch cream, and just embrace the fact that you’ll probably get a few bites. It’s part of the adventure! Another thing? Wi-fi. Fine, reliable, but occasionally, the Jungle takes over and eats the signal. Embrace the disconnect.
Tell me more about that "rogue lizard" situation. Because I am *terrified* of lizards.
Okay, fine. Let’s talk lizards. They're called geckos, by the way. And yes, they are EVERYWHERE. Now, thankfully, they're not the giant, prehistoric, Jurassic Park kind of lizard. These are tiny, cute-ish (I'm working on it) creatures. They're mostly harmless. Mostly. But, they *do* make a chirping sound at night. A *loud* chirping sound. Which, if you're me (a self-proclaimed scaredy-cat), can be… unnerving. I spent my first night convinced that a dinosaur had somehow infiltrated my villa. I even considered sleeping with the lights on, just in case it was some kind of nocturnal predator. After a while, you kind of get used to them. You even start to appreciate their appetite for mosquitos. Sort of. I might have even, maybe, *almost* admired one (from a safe distance, mind you) while it stalked a particularly plump insect. It was a moment. But seriously, if you really can’t handle the lizards, maybe pack earplugs. And a strong sense of humor. You'll need it!
How was the staff? Any good stories? Spill the tea!
Oh, the staff! They are genuinely wonderful. The Balinese are known for their hospitality, and these guys are the poster children. They’re ridiculously attentive. Like, you walk by the pool, and suddenly, someone's bringing you a fresh towel and a frosty drink, that thing is always on the go!. One morning, I was wandering around, looking a bit lost (as I often am, especially before my morning coffee), and one of the staff members, Wayan (bless his heart), practically *guided* me to the breakfast buffet, even though I didn't even know I *was* hungry! He just *knew*. And, of course, the smiles. Constant, genuine smiles. It's infectious. I honestly think they’re the reason the place feels like a genuine escape. They make you feel like you're truly welcome. They're not just employees; they're like… an extended Balinese family. I miss them already. And that breakfast buffet. Don't even get me started…
What's the best thing about Nyamane Ubud? The one thing that makes it truly special?
Okay, the *best* thing? That’s a tough one. The green villas are certainly incredible, the food is delicious, the staff are angels… but if I had to pick *one* thing?Hotel Hop Now
