Mandapa, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve

This resort is outstanding, with an exceptional setting and service. The attention to detail makes all the difference. We stayed in a spacious waterfront villa for two nights. Mandapa’s fine dining restaurant, Kubu, offers an unforgettable 10-course dinner that celebrates Balinese flavors with fresh, local ingredients. It was actually our 3rd visit to Kubu this year but it was the first time that we stayed at the Mandapa Resort. Set along the river in a private bamboo cocoon, Kubu offers a luxurious, intimate dining experience. Each dish showcases the chef's artistry, transforming ingredients into stunning, flavorful creations. The attention to detail and inventive presentation make each course a memorable fusion of tradition and innovation. Great job Mandapa team! Mario Favaits

This is one of the best resorts I have ever stayed in my whole life. The staff is so friendly, professional and attentive to you, when you arrive you get assigned a personal “butler” that they literally go beyond to help you with anything you need. The resort is beautiful, the rooms were so spacious and comfortable and the beds were amazing. The spa, restaurants, pool area and hotel amenities were all 10/10. Not to mention the food, we enjoyed it very much and the hotel has a variety of options you can try. Highly recommend you stay here!

We had a superb evening at the Mandapa bar. Arriving late afternoon to admire the view, savouring the botanical cocktails. The staff in particular the assistant manager Oka were great. We stayed for a delicious sushi dinner and herbal teas while listening to jazz. So serene and romantic.

Our stay at the Mandapa was nothing short of fabulous. Caca, our butler, was absolutely delightful and fulfilled every of our wishes. But not only was Caca superb, the entire staff is top notch, well trained and extremely respectful and friendly. The restaurants are without exception outstanding. The set menu at the Kubu Fine Dining Restaurant is highly recommended. Thank you all for making our time here something we will never forget!🙏🙏🙏

I’m writing this review in the car as we have just left the Ritz Mandapa. I don’t usually write reviews, but this hotel deserves to be written about in the most positive light. From the moment we arrived Kewin and Ade made us feel so welcome, like you are being welcomed by family, is how I describe their hospitality. This sets you up for exactly how you will be treated throughout your stay. All the staff know your name as you are walking around the reserve and nothing is too much trouble for them. The spa facilities deserve recognition as they are excellent, both my wife and I had full body treatments and I also had a private chakra balancing session. This was on another level. Our children loved the kids club (they are 10 and 7 years old), the staff there made the children part of their family there. The children would have been happy to have stayed all day if they had the choice! The restaurants were fantastic, from the casual dining next to the pool to the more formal, but still relaxed setting of Ambar (Japanese cuisine, certainly recommend the Wagyu there!). Breakfast was brilliant, a lovely spread with a lot of effort clearly put into the food options there. As for the location, just breathtaking! You are nestled in a secluded part of Ubud in the jungle. The views from our suite will remain in our memories for many years to come. The onsite rice field was delight to walk through with our children embracing fully the environment we were in. We wish we had stayed longer, our trip now takes us to Nusa Dua and the Ritz Carlton there has a lot to live up to compared to Mandapa. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel in Ubud, honestly you must stay here. It cannot be missed. Thank you 🙏🏽
