My girlfriend and I stayed at Pandawas Villas for about 7 nights at the end of December 2016 and it was EXTRAORDINARY! First, I must say that Pandawas is not directly located in Ubud…and that this is a very good thing. The villas are in Tegallalang (sp?), only a short ride from town, but it makes all the difference. It provides a very relaxing escape from the busy streets of Ubud.
The property has beautiful lush flora, a large pool, and the villas are quite large and spacious. The outdoor bathroom is incredibly relaxing as you awake in the morning and shower. You may even have visits from critters on the property, as a macaque briefly stopped by while we were there. It’s just a very relaxing and beautiful property.
In addition to the perfect property and room, the staff was probably the kindest and most accommodating staff that I have ever interacted with. You can tell they just want you to be happy.
One small criticism: ordering your food is not very convenient. You have to order meals in advance, which can complicate things if you’re trying to build an itinerary.
Hint: walk uphill along the road that led to Pandawas and check out the Balinese village. Nice experience.
