Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana

This review is overdue but I had to come back and get it done because it would be a disservice to the staff of this property who were more than exceptional in the way to treat their guest. The whole experience is bespoke and does not feel like another resort. They pay special attention to each guest and have the attitude to never say no. They were willing to go out of their way to do things that was not part of normal service, just to please. I cannot recommend this place enough. Have been to so many high end resorts and Hotels but this place is special. Kudos to the manager Pasek Budiarka who runs this place because he sets the tone for the service by leading from the front. Exceptional guy and he really took care of us. Me and my wife were on a long trip and this was one of the stops for us but it felt like home. Also special thanks to Nopi who made lovely tea for us everyday. If in Bali, this is the place to stay. Much better than a 5 star hotel.

Aman level service, impeccably decorated villa which were tasteful and comfortable. Staff was warm and welcoming and no request was too small. Wonderful attention to the smallest details. We booked their pool villa with club benefits which had exceptional inclusions including breakfast, private transport to/from Ubud, spa, balloon rides and more.

We visited during the low season, and while it was hot, it never rained, making it feel like our own private paradise. With the vast grounds and well-spaced villas, we rarely saw other guests, adding to the sense of exclusivity and tranquility. The team has done an incredible job of ensuring there's plenty to do without it ever feeling overwhelming—allowing for true relaxation, even while traveling with a child. The convenience of having a dedicated WhatsApp group was fantastic—no request was ever too much trouble. Housekeeping deserves special mention; maintaining such a high level of care with so many intricate details is no small feat. The turn-down service was particularly thoughtful, with treats and bedtime stories each night. Being surrounded by nature, with the sounds of geckos and crickets in the background, truly felt like an escape. The complimentary laundry service was such a thoughtful touch, allowing us to pack light and re-wear our favorites. And the outdoor bath and private pool—just wow. The main pool was my favorite, always at the perfect temperature, and the butlers were incredibly attentive, offering water and anything else we might need. My 2-year-old adored feeding the birds and swans, which was such a special experience for him. We were also pleasantly surprised by the complimentary photoshoot, something we hadn’t realized was included until check-in. The rice paddy field walk with Sungiato was so informative, and when he found out I was scared of dogs, he made sure I felt safe, even calling the car to pick us up closer. A huge thank you to Sumarti—your hands are magic! My facial and head massage with you was such a beautiful experience. Dining at Tempayan was phenomenal—especially the barramundi; you must try it! Chef Dean was so kind, even sharing some ingredients so I could attempt to recreate nasi goreng at home. Finally, a very special mention to Nopi and Desak—without you, this trip wouldn’t have been the same. You formed such a sweet bond with my child, and we truly loved spending hours at Tempayan for afternoon tea, cocktail hour, and dinner. You both are so special, and I was so emotional saying goodbye! We can’t wait to return.

We had 3 wonderful days and nights at Tanah Gajah. Every moment during our stay was exceptional. The staff members had the kindest smiles and the best work ethic, providing top-notch service. Although the facilities were not brand new or fancy, the classic vintage atmosphere of the furniture was exactly to my taste. The surrounding green and fresh environment, with birds chirping and squirrels climbing the trees, was impressive and comfortable for staying with our 3-year-old son. And of course, the sculptures, the pond with swans, the big trees, and the hot air balloon were all beyond my expectations based on the YouTube videos, photos, and blogs I had seen. Breakfast, afternoon tea, and room service were all amazing, and they had non-spicy food for our baby upon request. I wish we could have stayed there a little longer to enjoy the resort itself. Thank you for the phenomenal experience and heart-touching service you provided. We really appreciated our time at the resort🙏

Wow wow wow. I'm embarrassed to say I cried of happiness when checking in but that's how this place made me feel..like I'm home with family in the most beautiful place. Came with a 2 year old and husband for 4 nights during the hotels quiet period. Nothing was too big of an ask. The tempanyan restaurant and kecak dinner absolute phenomenal. Daily laundry for 6 pieces, cocktail hours, afternoon tea, rice paddy field walk, the most amazing spa, the lush green grounds. We luckily got upgraded to a pool villa. Thank you Desak, Edi, sungiato, deasy, Nopi, Darma, sumarti, Budiarka, the housekeeping staff (sorry I didn't take your.name but you are amazing thank you). Every single person is so kind and you cam see they love working here. From Ms Sharma (villa 8)
