An amazing and tranquil resort in the middle of Ubud forest””

Having been to Ubud a few times, we knew what we are looking for when picking somewhere to stay in that area. I am really happy to say Kayon resort is much more than we expected, from the moment we checked in we knew we have made the right choice. This place is so beautiful! We were greeted by very friendly staffs, welcome drinks and afternoon refreshments. Because we were celebrating our anniversary, our room and the very spacious bath were beautifully decorated with flowers. They run hourly shuttle buses to Ubud centre until late which is very convenient if you want to dine out as there are many fine quality restaurants in the area. The breakfast menu is fantastic and it is four courses! I recommended trying the Indonesian style breakfasts they are a great way to sample local food which are cooked and presented to perfection, its like fine-dining for breakfast. They also have healthier options with gluten free bread and egg white scramble which are also very good. There are plenty of activities at the resort, nothing beats doing yoga in the morning breathing in the fresh air overlooking the beautiful scenery. The 90 minutes morning guided walk is a great way to visit the village, scroll through the rice field and meet some local people. We have also tried the couple spa package at their spa, which is very relaxing with the sound of the river as the backdrop. Not to mention the beautiful pool. On one night we booked the romantic candle night dinner. I think they are better at cooking Asian style dinner than western style food. Nevertheless the whole dinner experience was still very good as the atmosphere was so romantic and private. I highly recommended this hotel and will stay again when I next travel to Ubud. While there are many nice resorts there, I think its forest location, attentiveness of the staff and the personalised experience made Kayon stands out from the crowd. Room Tip: upper level rooms if you don't like the humidity

The most spoiling and pampering experience”

I travel for adventure, my husband travels to relax. Travel within a budget is my mantra, obviously hubby is the opposite -- shut up and take my money kind of guy. To compromise, our getaways consists usually of a one night luxury stay. What I learned in Bali -- you get what you paid for. That's for a different story, and Kayon resort is the good part. We love Kayon resort! It makes me rethink my position. Me and hubby are two spoiled kids in paradise. Yes, it is expensive but with the service and everything.. And i mean everything -- the view, the pool, the facilities, the room, the food, the tour, the people.. All worth it. They even sang and gave me a birthday cake! :) For a backpacker like me, i would splurge my budget in Kayon once we go back to Ubud. It is an experience by itself. See you again!

Excellent Resort, good value!”

The Kayon Resort is beautiful, and they really take care of their guests! The price is totally worth it, I highly recommend this hotel. Food is amazing! Breakfast is huge and nice quality, you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat. My husband and I tried almost all the asian dishes on the menu and they're all delicious, especially the ribs and the curries! Staff are very friendly and super helpful. Rooms are beautiful, huge tub. The free shuttle to town is really useful. We even took a day tour with a driver from the resort and it's really nice too! It's just a really relaxing and quality place. Best choice for staying in Ubud. One thing to note is the River Suite we got a free upgrade to is really humid inside. But I don't think there's much the resort can do about it, since the room is right by the river. So if you don't really humid room, don't go with the river suites. Another thing is the spa has room to improve. My husband and I got a couples spa package. It was pricy, but the massage wasn't great, and the scrub wasn't a very enjoyable experience since it's super scratchy. The process felt very hurried. But other than that, we really can't find any fault is this place. You feel like you're in paradise when you're here, and in compareson to some other places we've stayed in on the trip, it really is paradise.

Incredible stay”

I have been so many times to Bali and Ubud, but I am truly amazed. This from far my best stay in Ubud. I truly felt in holidays. The hotel has a lot of charm in the middle of the nature and bordering a river, it is a Mix of Jungle Resort and Spa and Hanging Garden. But the owner paid attention to the details to build not only a hotel but carved the history and mythology of Kayon into the rock. The staff is very friendly and do the maximum to arrange your stay as best as they can. Very relaxing place, the spa is very good as well. Internet is incredibly fast, you can even watch video in streaming, thing which is not very common in Ubud area. For people who still have unexpected work, this is a very pleasant guarantee. Last but not least, the food is truly truly good. The chef previously for Aman Resort in Nusa Dua. All which is in the menu is very good. THe difference between good chef and normal chef, is that the good one can make you like what you usually do not like, and this chef is of that kind. Each dish is an impressive and surprising mix of flavors that have not only been mastered to bring the best of each flavor but also to give curative effects. If there was only one negative point, it would be the door of the rooms that let the possibility to people outside to see slighty what is happening inside. If you have a special moment with your partner, it might not be that private. But this is a small detail. For people who seek hotels with charm, peace of mind, spirituality and comfort, do not seek any further, this place is out of the charts. Moreover the staff does not try to charge you the every small detail like many hotels have become so enclined to do, which leaves a very bad taste to your holidays. Truly amazing

The staff and location are the gems of this hotel ”

We really enjoyed our stay here for 4 days. After staying by the beach in Jimbaran, we wanted to stay in a beautiful scenic hotel in Ubud And Kayon Resort fit that completely. The hotel is next to a waterfall so you wake up and go to sleep listening to the sounds of the waterfall and birds. The swimming pool is great and looks onto the beautiful lush greenery, the restaurant served good breakfasts and great dinners. Our favourite was the Balinese chicken curry and red prawn curry. The crowning jewel of Kayon Resort however is the staff. Every single person here from the security guard, check-in staff, cleaners & manager and staff at the restaurant go out of their way to make your stay pleasant. They even remember little things that you mention and try to assist each guest personally. All the staff are so kind, genuine and you could really feel that they care. We will come here again next year and stay for longer.

Awesome Experience!”

My wife and I split our vacation in Bali. We spent 4 nights in Nusa Dua and 3 nights at The Kayon Resort in Ubud. By far, we enjoyed our stay at The Kayon Resort better than our stay in Nusa Dua. The resort is build on a cliff and small enough to be intimate. We loved the feel of the resort and the staff are the nicest and best staff we have experienced in a hotel stay. They are so sincerely nice and accommodating that we were blown away. We vacation alot and own a vacation rental business, yet I can sincerely say this was one of our best vacation experiences ever!

A piece of paradise in Ubud”

Three nights at this beautiful resort was definitely not enough. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we felt truly pampered at The Kayon Resort. The staff went out of their way to ensure everything was exceeding our expectations, from the food to the activities. to the facilities. The rooms are spacious with stunning views of the river and/or valley (depending on which you book). The infinity pool is the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the surrounding area or even Ubud town. I would recommend The Kayon Resort to anyone looking for a piece of paradise during their stay in Ubud.

very lovely place”

We stayed at Kayon resort for 3 nights in March. From my room River view suite, you can see the waterfall. The river sound is the only thing you can hear. Hotel staff are trying so hard to make the customers comfortable. They are so lovely. During the stay, I had my birthday then they brought me a surprise cake at the breakfast. so lovely. There are only 22 rooms and all the staff are treat you like a family member. What a lovely experience. Also the restaurant is very recommending. High quality and great service. Much better value than the food in Ubud center. (if you want to have a good romantic dinner) They opened other hotel Kayon Jungle Resort which is a bit farther from center and I heard it is very nice too. Don't get confused!!!

Perfect place to relax in Ubud”

My husband and I decided to have a quick getaway in Ubud and we chose Kayon resort because of the good reviews. We were looking for a place to relax and to just enjoy the nature. When we arrived, we felt the warm welcome of the staffs especially the resort manager, Gede. We also loved the welcome drink! The food were so good as well and the restaurant manager, Hery, was very accomodating. I also tried their traditional balinese massage which is a bit pricey but it’s worth it! But the main reason why I love this resort is the people. All the staffs are genuinely nice and friendly. I don’t normally write reviews but I just want to share my experience to others. Overall, I recommend the resort to all the couples and even for solo traveller.

Beautiful property with great staff”

Loved this property, it's sooo beautiful. We had a river view and you could hear it everywhere, which was really soothing. The property and rooms are really well kept and clean. The staff really cares that you have a great experience and are warm and welcoming. I love loved the tea time by the waterfall. The location is a little out of the way, it's not in Ubud proper, but cabs and shuttles to their other property are easy to get. I also love that they have cultural activities to do!! BE SURE YOU DON"T BOOK THE WRONG KAYON. There's Kayon jungle and Kayon river. Both beautiful, this one's more quaint. My only gripes: The yoga class, it was very slow and basically just stretching (but it was free so can I really complain??) and the food. The food was just ok. We did breakfast (which was very generously portioned for a free meal) and dinner a couple times and both are just meh. Also I would have appreciated a couple of more wine by the glass options. But these things are sooo nit-picky.

Amazing Staff & Property”

This secluded, romantic & unique resort is 1st class in every way... The staff is amazing, the food is remarkable and the ammenities & activities are perfect! They do it all here and theu do it well. I We plan on recomensing to all friends honwymooning or travwling to Bali. You must experience Ubud as well as the coastlines. Make sure the Ubud visit is complimented & enabled by the staff at Kayon resort. Lovely...

Exceptional”

The Kayon Resort has left us speechless. Words won’t ever do justice for the service and hospitality of all Kayon staff. Thought had been put into ensuring the stay at the Kayon is exceptional from the minute you arrive. Staff remember your name, make you feel at home and ensure you have a truly remarkable and memorable experience. We have just arrived home and still feel special with an email making sure we arrived home safely and our welcome photo attached. Every meal was perfect, our room was always made - and our bed was even turned down for us of an evening. We have stayed at some great places around the world but The Kayon is one place we will remember - it stand and out above the rest! We will be back! Incredible grateful xx

Thumbs up!”

We are extremely satisfied with our 2 night stay at the river suite at Kayon Resort. We like the serenity of this resort and the soothing sound of the river. The bed and pillow are very comfortable. We enjoy the breakfast, which are of high quality and standard. The staff at the resort are very friendly, always smiling and helpful. The complimentary shuttle service to the Ubud town operates till 9pm in the evening, which is fantastic, a definite plus point! The yoga class and walking tour in the morning are an added value provided by the resort. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back again.

Amazing. Beautiful. Luxurious.”

I am embarrassed to see that I missed reviewing the Kayon last year when I stayed there. For anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious retreat in Bali, you cannot go past the Kayon. Clean. Impeccable service. Attention to detail. Nothing is missing from this resort. Yes. It is a little pricier than most feel appropriate for Bali, but it is, without a doubt, worth every penny. This is a must to stay at. I found myself googling 'squatters rights in Bali' ... without much success :( Thank you staff and management at The Kayon for such a beautiful stay.

Heaven on earth...”

We stayed in Kayon for a short duration but the hospitality and the service of staff was really amazing. We had been to multiple resorts across the world but for us till not this was the best experience. The entire experience was amazing. The designer/architect of the resort deserve the award. It was so nicely kept and managed by wonderful staff. We loved the most the Jetty area and the fall. I also took the Yoga class and that was also a very nice experience. The overall experience was so nice that I am falling short of the words. Truly Amazing..Truly Ubud..Truly Bali.

Best hotel we’ve ever stayed ”

We can’t say thank you enough for all of the staff at Kayon, who made our honeymoon most unforgettable! We arrived at the hotel on New Year’s Eve and stayed for 7 nights. The hotel prepared an amazing NYE party on site, including cocktail hour, dinner course with traditional Balinese dance show. My husband had not been feeling well prior to the arrival, and we informed the staff that he would not be able to eat the dinner course. They were very kind and caring, and served him a special ginger tea. They said it’s a “magic tea”, and sure enough, it really worked! We’ve stayed many beautiful hotels around the world, but by far, no other place is as lovely as Kayon. We loved the delicious breakfast and stunning view from the hotel, but the most valuable experience was getting to know the staff at Kayon. Everyone stopped and greeted us with a beautiful smile on their face. Not only the hotel, but the people at the Kayon make the hotel truly a magical place! Suksama!

An Amazing Experience!”

Everything about the Kayon river resort was perfect. They got every detail right, the location is breath-taking, and the staff warm and friendly. The resort is small and intimate and we absolutely loved every moment and inch of it. My partner and I stayed here for our honeymoon for two nights. We also stayed at three other luxury resorts in the area, all of which were more expensive and not as good as Kayon. Book the Kayon, book them for your transfer from the airport using their comfortable shuttle with free wifi, and relax and let them take care of you. They were the best, seriously. The spa, the food, everything. Thank you to Gede, Kadek, and all the staff at Kayon for making our visit so memorable! We are indebted!

Paradise”

Kayon Resort is a perfect place to rest, enjoy the nature and Bali. It's 10-15 minutes driving distance to the ubud center but shuttles are working every hour properly. Rooms, food, activities, infinity pool, everything was perfect. The staff was so kind and friendly. Especially if you are a couple and want to run away from crowd of bali, perfect choise.

A romantic gateaway”

Kayon hotel set back on beautiful hill in Ubud, surrounded by river, waterfall and paddy-fields. It's a beautiful setting, the hotel serve such an excellent breakfast, the best of our 3 weeks stay. The pool was small but still beautiful - you can swim while enjoying your surrounding. The staff was helpful. However this hotel is outside the main part of ubud - there is a shuttle that will take you to ubud, mind you the trip can be varied from 10 min one way trip to 45 min due to traffic. The hotel is catered more for couple, family had to sign an agreement just in case your kids are noisy and disturbing other resident you can be evicted. The hotel have lots of staircase with no elevator facility, so if you are not fond of going up and down the stair, this could be a challenge.
