The stay was beautiful, the hotell lies just by the river in the jungle, with calm sounds of the river, birds and animallife. Very peaceful. Every morning there’s morning yoga at 8:00, before a vegan set menu breakfast. The staff are so polite and makes sure that you have the best possible stay. We tried both healing and massasge at the spa, and ecpesially enjoyed the sakti ritual massasge. The room was very beautiful and tidy, with an outdoor bathroom!! All in all a much reccomended stay.

There wasn’t a minibar at the rooms, so the water was warm. But you could Ask for one if you wanted to and we didn’t. And our room, Avcasa, was close to a pond which Made it smell a little in our room. The toilet was outside. The entire bathroom was. It was Nice, but also a bit idk

The resort is nothing short of extraordinary. Excellent service, very friendly staff. A lot of nice touches like welcome fruits and a diary to write in. The facilities are superb, we had the most wonderful time just hanging by the pool. We used the shuttle service to Ubud regularly and participated in one of the offered activities as well. I was impressed by that extent of hospitality and service provided. I want to especially thank and compliment all of the wonderful staff that made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We would absolutely stay at fiveelememts again and recommend it to everyone considering a stay there.

They label themselves a plant-based resort. Please note that they are not vegan, which I don’t mind but a lot of vegan people are going to seek out this place for being plant-based. Unfortunately I consumed drinks with honey that were not pointed out to me containing animal products. I would appreciate it if there would be a way to avoid that. Also I felt rather uncomfortable with the pond inside the dining area. It is very small for the fish inside…

I stayed here alone for six nights for my 50th birthday while my husband and daughter traveled around Java. They returned and stayed with me one night. I really loved everything. Everything far exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious. Staff was incredibly friendly. The rooms and grounds were magical. The flower bath and Bali boreh massage were some of the highlights and the water healing treatment. I purchased a separate package through the hotel for these things. The fire ritual was also wonderful.

It would have been really nice to have a second yoga offering in the afternoon (not just the early morning). I would have done it every day if that was offered. Sometimes I felt a little pressure to do some of the massages that were just too intense or strong for me. Overall, it was one of the best resort/retreat experiences I have every had and was a great way to celebrate my 50th birthday.

The villas and gardens are beautiful and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything was very clean and well maintained

It’s stated that the restaurant is plant based and was one of the reasons we chose to stay here, however most things on the menu contain honey even though it isn’t listed on the menu. So the choice of actual plant based food was limited to only a few things,however they where fresh and tasty. Also the prices of treatments in day spa are very expensive for Bali and where they same as we’d pay in Australia or Europe , which is fine if staff paid Australian or European wages

Thank you, Fivelement staff. Everything was beyond good. This place should be renamed to Heaven. You will dive into kindness, spirituality, nature, health. Honestly, don't think twice, just do it, says someone who is picky. I will go back one day. Remember not to skip the complimentary yoga sessions every morning before breakfast.

The 5 course plant based dinner is very healthy and delicious but if you decide to eat at the hotel every evening, then some variety could be helpful (The breakfast and lunch menus change/have verities which is great.) That said I recommend eating there dinner one night (A MUST)) and then go explore Ubud: restaurants and dance shows, etc. Remember to download grab or gojek apps (uber-like apps).

Everything! All the staff are so nice and friendly, they remember my name, even when I haven’t met them personal. They greet me by my first name! I also met the GM John and he is really kind too. I spent only two nights at the resort and didn’t even leave the resort ground to ubud centre!

Nothing really! Apart from maybe for breakfast bread provided was the healthy version! But I actually prefer the usual bread 😅 Also the shuttle could be provided more frequently but it’s ok in the end as I didn’t even end up venturing out to ubud centre since it was raining all the time during my stay.

The hotel is sensational, with a wonderful retreat concept. The rooms are exactly as seen in the photos and even more impressive in real life. The breakfasts were delicious, and we were surprised to find out that the hotel restaurant is vegan. This information should have been communicated beforehand, but we thoroughly enjoyed all the meals we had there. The yoga classes were incredible, making our stay very special and welcoming.

The hotel's access was a bit complicated, and its location was somewhat distant from Ubud's center. While the hotel does offer a shuttle service three times a day, it concludes at 6:30 PM. This means if you plan to dine in Ubud, you'll need to arrange transportation. Additionally, it would have been helpful to know in advance that the hotel offers vegan cuisine. Overall, these aspects were a bit inconvenient, but the stay was otherwise pleasant.

Amazing suit, delicious fresh plant-based food, authentic spa treatments and rituals done by locals, calming and relaxing atmosphere throughout, friendly and respectful staff, clean and beautiful. What else could you ask for? There's really nothing negative or even neutral about this place in my opinion. If like us you wish to go to Bali for a tranquil retreat where you'll slow down from your busy day-to-day, then this one is a gem!

Nothing really

Outstanding property. The staff are the real highlight. We've tried two different rooms, the room by the river stands out thanks to the tranquil sounds of the water flow. The plant based menu is impressive: the dishes and use of ingredients are quite creative. I would like to suggest that more Indonesian flavours should be incorporated and a wider range of use of herbs and spices. The yoga and healing offerings are highly memorable and will keep you coming back to this special place.

Nothing. Everything was fantastic. Maybe accommodating a more leisurely check out time for a slow-paced property would appease guests more. We felt rushed out of our room by noon. Even though that's an international hotel standard, this isn't a typical city hotel.

Amazing staff, calming sound of the river, design of the outdoor area. It is magical resort and I would come back again. We were unlucky with the weather, as it was raining so we got a bit bored. If you can spend the money for the spa - enjoy it! Also, a fire ceremony is an experience to remember.

Vegan only option was ok for 2 nights, but as we are not vegans, it was a bit challenging. Spa is very expensive and the prices shown don't include service fees and taxes so don't be surprised to see higher bills. Only one free yoga session per day st 8.00am, nothing in the afternoon or evening. There is nothing outside of the hotel, so it would be nice to have more activities at the retreat.
