The setting at Arma is simply stunning. Huge tropical gardens and the added bonus of a river and an art gallery. We stayed in the ‘family’ villa which is actually two adjoining 1 bedroom villas with a private pool, and the rooms were phenomenally luxurious and beautiful. It was like a private slice of jungle paradise, but just within walking distance of great restaurants and the monkey forest

Nothing, except we’d run out of money if we stayed too long!

The street outside can get very chaotic because of the location, but once you step inside, a peaceful feeling surrounds you. The place is beautiful, well maintained. What I would like to highlight is the service because everyone made sure thay everything was to my liking, and that if I needed anything, it was taken care of. They are very good at communicating either through Booking (where I booked the hotel) or whatsapp. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It had all the necessary amenities. I got a room with a terrace and a view to the pool, and it was really beautiful to wake up to that calm view. The restaurtant also serves good food (either breakfast or any other meal), and provides great service as well.

Just be prepared to climb some stairs to go to your room.

Location excellent! The staff were just super! Arrived late and check in was smooth. The restaurant is Thai infused 👌🏼 Arma Resort and Museum is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Ubud! Lush gardens, traditional Balinese architecture, and a serene vibe that makes you forget time exists. Living art ! The museum is a cultural treasure trove – legit inspiring with its collection of Balinese and Southeast Asian art. The resort is peaceful, spacious rooms, infinity pool magic, and that sweet fusion of nature and luxury. Bonus points for the sound of running water and nightly frog concerts. Perfect spot to chill, reflect, and soak up art and spirit. Five stars from this barefoot jungle goddess.

There was nothing to dislike !

Absolutely beautiful resort, it was far more beautiful than it looks in the photos and larger than I expected. The buffet breakfast was slightly different each day which I loved. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly.

I was very excited for the art class but quite disappointed for how much it cost. I was given the option of 4 sketches to copy, if not done precisely my sketch was corrected, so I didn't feel as though I had any artistic expression. I was told if the class goes over 2 hours I will need to pay more. As the sketching took almost 2 hours, I didn't get to paint. Perhaps still nice if you have never drawn/painted.

The staff and beautiful grounds and location were top notch! A free afternoon tea was a fantastic benefit. Just what you would imagine for an Ubud resort. We also had a terrific 2 hour massage at the Spa that capped off our stay. We also attended two wonderful shows that are staged on the grounds. Well worth the admission price for the events. The included breakfast was also good with a good selection.

While the room was super spacious and not cookie cutter, the bathroom/shower/tub is on a lower level, there are two VERY steep steps with no handrails and are stone so always a scary trip. Also no TV in the room (which was fine, but surprising on arrival). The “door” to the room was super flimsy and locked on the outside with a padlock, while you were inside only had a wood latch. Felt uncomfortable when I thought about how easy it could be easily opened. Also MANY stairs on the property, so beware if that’s an issue for you. We were far back on the property and construction was taking place on a new unit from 6:30 am - 9:30 pm every day, sort of ruined the experience of a quiet lush experience.

the breakfast had a very good varity to choose from the area was nice inside but to go outside close by the sidewalk was very dangerous and uneven and traffic was very bad to try to cross street there was a very nice supermarket across the road if you can cross was the problem the nature beauty around was like a paradise the museum has beautiful art by balinese painters and many culitural programs to participate and workshops to learn about balinese culture seeing the ducks in the morning in the rice fields and the lotus ponds

the evening menu was not so much choice for vegetarian and expensive it was a little dark at night to see the paths good to have a flashlight

The staff was kind and lovely, and the hotel is beautiful and pleasant. There are a lot of stairs, which might be challenging for some. The pool was fun and clean, and the rooms had a stunning view—we really enjoyed our stay.

‏The only downside was the breakfast, which wasn’t very tasty, and cappuccino in the morning wasn’t included, which I think should be basic in a hotel like this. ‏The location is right in the center of Ubud, which is convenient if you want to be in the heart of it. But in hindsight, the street outside was very smelly and extremely crowded—I would’ve preferred a quieter location. ‏That said, once you step inside the hotel, you don’t feel it at all. It’s like entering a peaceful paradise.

The hotel provided all the amenities and experiences you can expect from a resort, such as a restaurant and a cafe, a spa, two pools and various workshops (e.g. wood carving, silver jewellery crafting, etc.). The resort has a water stream, rice fields, local vegetation and fauna, and Balinese statues and decorations. The resort was 15 minutes from the Monkey Forest and around 25 minutes from the centre of Ubud on foot - plenty of shops on the way to both places, so it was an enjoyable walk.

I stayed for a week, so I would have appreciated more food variety for breakfast.

I first walked into the property from the Arma Museum side which probably was a good thing becuase it was a peaceful experience wondering around. The whole property is like a Ancient Balanise Temple and Garden. The propery had two modest medium size pools but they where nice areas. The Rooms where large size and the staff was very friendly. Also they had several cultural activities you could add during your stay for various prices. Also there is many restaurants nearby but you will need a car or a motor scooter to go out and see this area. I would definitely stay here again especially if I get a reasonable price that week because it probably fluctuates anyhow thanks DA Usa

It was mainly a good experience

Good location. The resort looks very good, especially on the outside. Requested a room change and the new room offered (modern villa) was ok. Breakfast good, but it tends to become boring after a couple of days. Helpful and accomodating staff.

The first room offered was not good. Furniture very used, walls dirty, etc. After requesting a new room, it was ok. However, the overall impression is that the resort would benefit from an upgrade in furniture. Expect a few mosquitos in the garden at morning and evening.
