This was our first time visiting Bali, and we chose Ubud as our first stop. Honestly, we didn’t expect too much… until we arrived at Alaya. 🤍
Alaya truly exceeded all our expectations in every way possible.
First of all, we are so grateful to be upgraded from Alaya Resort to the newly opened Alaya Suites (only opened for 3 months!). It was such an unexpected surprise and honestly one of the experiences that made us fall in love with Ubud.
Our original booking did not include breakfast, and we planned to add it on the spot. But with the upgrade, breakfast was included for us as well. We kept wondering if there would be any hidden charges or extra payment later 😂 but NO - Alaya sincerely invited us to experience their new suites, and we really appreciated that kindness.
The breakfast was amazing too! It’s not buffet style, but “eat all you can” with freshly made dishes upon order, which honestly made the food taste even better. Everything was delicious, and btw… the latte was really good ☕️
Another thing we truly loved was the staff. Everyone served with such genuine care and kindness. Their attitude and hospitality made us feel so comfortable and welcomed throughout our stay. Thank you so much to every staff member who helped us during our stay - you guys were amazing 🤍
The room looked exactly like the photos online (search Alaya Suite) - super clean, spacious, comfortable, with huge mirrors and such a relaxing atmosphere.
And the location? PERFECT. Ubud traffic can get quite busy, so staying here and being able to walk almost everywhere made everything so much easier.
Of course, nothing is 100% perfect, so just a small note:
- The soundproofing could be better as we could hear our neighboring room talking and laughing late at night.
- The gym facilities are a little limited.
But honestly, we really loved our stay here, and this will definitely be the first hotel we revisit when we come back to Ubud again soon 🤍
Thank you for everything,
from room 308 | 10–13 May 🥳
