ZEN Rooms Tampak Siring

The meals were a real highlight, all delicious and well prepared. We came as a couple and found the resort comfortable and relaxing, with a lovely atmosphere throughout. Our room was clean, well kept, and very comfortable, and the washroom was spotless. From room service to maintenance, things were handled efficiently. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive from the moment we arrived. We had a memorable stay at The Kawi Resort and would recommend it to couples looking for a peaceful resort in Bali.

The forest setting was so peaceful, and breakfast was delicious. I had the American breakfast with apple juice, a bread basket, and bread with ham, egg, and avocado spread. For roughly 500-600k a night with breakfast included, it felt like a bargain. I stayed Dec 18-20 and thought the place was awesome. It is pretty far from the city, but being in the middle of the forest was calm. I’d definitely come back if I return to Ubud, Bali 👍

The staff were genuinely wonderful, and the cliffside jungle views are gorgeous. The pool is pretty world class, too. But my room was a letdown: it smelled musty, and an air freshener kept going off every 10 minutes, so I had to choose between heavy perfume and the strange odor. I went with the musty smell. The floors and areas around the windows weren’t very clean, possibly because all the moisture makes that hard to manage. I was also given a room at the very bottom of the property, a real haul to reach, though rooms higher up overlook everything. The food wasn’t bad, but it was probably the worst I had in Bali, maybe a C to B- level. Getting into Ubud to explore took a long time since the resort is far from many activities. Some of that was my own poor planning, but it’s worth keeping in mind. This was probably my least favorite place on my Bali trip, partly because I hadn’t researched enough and partly because of the resort itself.

Waking up to birdsong and having coffee with a view of the rice terraces was a lovely part of my stay at Kiwa Resort. The rooms were spacious, clean, and thoughtfully laid out, with eco-friendly touches. Surrounded by greenery, the resort feels like a quiet break from city noise, and the wood architecture, open areas, and scenery fit naturally into the setting. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the fresh organic food had plenty of local flavor. With waterfalls and cultural villages nearby, it’s a great spot for anyone after a peaceful nature retreat in Bali. I had an unforgettable stay.
