Wonderful staff!! Facility is amazing and big. Choose the jungle suit If you are picky like me and don’t make friends with insects & lizard and want a closed bathroom (unlike the open bathroom Balinese cottage/villa).

Breakfast is very poor if you are not Indian/Asian, the desert selection is more than what a non Asian will eat, it’s literally two sorts of cheese, one ham, cereals that don’t include oat (more like kids cereals!). Shuttle service to Ubud could be more, they only have it three times a day @ 11, 14, and 17, knowing that U UD palace is just 5 min drive!! They can make a shuttle service every half an hour without any problem!

It’s ambience

not providing normal water to drink in restaurant. it’s really sad that we had to pay for the water in the restaurant which was very sad. no where in Bali this happened with us.

The resort is located about 10 mins from Ubud village and they provide shuttle buses in and out during the day. We stayed in the a presidential villa and it was good, slightly aged however very clean. The bed, linen and pillows were very good and the bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced! We did a private cooking class with the resort and that was a real highlight of our trip, highly recommend it. They have a flower farm and fresh vegetable garden and so nice to visit. Each day they bring down to the breakfast area a dairy cow and ducks that you can feed, it’s lovely and the kids really enjoy it. The staff are fantastic at the resort especially at the restaurants and room service.

The day spa is in a ex hotel room with no atmosphere and the staff not very friendly and it’s expensive. You can get good spa treatments for less in Ubud Village try Taksu Wellness Centre, it’s fantastic and they have a cafe for healthy food. There is no body lotion at the resort so pack some. They do provide shampoo and condition and body wash though. Beds are made each day but bed linen did not seem to be changed during our 6 night stay. New bath and pool towels were provided daily.

The resort, rooms and staff are exceptional. We really loved our stay here. The hotel is in very beautiful grounds and only a short 10 minute drive to the centre of Ubud. The staff are all so welcoming and friendly, hardworking cannot do enough to help you. The pool and restaurant area are very nice to relax around. We got the impression some parts were closed due to the impact of the pandemic. The staff are always cleaning and maintaining the grounds.

The food and drink is a little on the expensive side, same with the spa treatments. Our tip would be to use the free shuttle and find a local taxi driver with the shuttle for the evenings etc. The hotel charges almost triple the price of a local taxi, which you can easily find in the centre of Ubud.

Location and lay out The view from the 3rd floor of the villa is excellent.Beautiful resort and very friendly staff. The evening entertainment with Balinese dance is really good. They should try more such entertainment activities each evening.. We visited during the festive time of Golungan and the whole of Ubud is full of festivities..we have been to the restaurant opposite reception which was good. The prices of drinks from reception/ lobby area are very reasonable.

Breakfast was a bit routine after 3-4 days especially when you are staying for a week.. The indian counter is just basic. They should include more variety of Indian breakfasts.

Third time staying at Visesa. Looked at other places to stay in Ubud for this trip with girlfriends but came back to Visesa. My girlfriends loved it for their first stay. Staff go above and beyond with everything and are always so cheery and interested in what we are doing for the day. Love the cow and ducks every morning. The gardens are so green and great experiencing the permaculture of the resort. Love the shuttle service into ubud main centre. There is nothing to be disappointed about at Visesa except leaving!!

Leaving 😪

Visesa is a slice of heaven in Ubud. It's away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Ubud, so you can enjoy the tranquil gardens, rice fields and beautiful villas. Our 2 bedroom villa was adequately equipped, with a private pool that our family enjoyed immensely. The service is top-notch, from check-in to departure! All the staff was eager to attend to our needs, whether it was breakfast in-room service, golf cart pickup, or reservation assistance. We also enjoyed their resort amenities and activities, like Balinese dancing, yoga, massage, acoustic night by the rice fields... and our personal favorite, cooking Balinese food with their chef. Highly recommended!

Need more shuttle service to downtown Ubud.

Great customer service, beautiful rooms, amazing partial outdoor bathroom in master. Food was good, everything you expect at breakfast and decent range on room service menu, room service is 24 hours. It's all as expected for the price. We didn't use the private pool very much because it was freezing (stayed end August/early September) and always ended up in the main pool which is heated to approx 27 C.

Getting a little old and lack of maintenance is a bit obvious. Very poor lighting in the rooms. The main entrance to your suite does not lock so there's no security in the main outdoor living area. You have to lock the individual bedrooms every time you leave and put all valuables in the bedrooms. The doors are difficult to unlock with the key card and they auto lock every time you shut them so you have to leave the doors slightly open or battle with the key card every time you enter the bedroom. The whole locking and accessing rooms is just a bit annoying and unexpected.

Loved the Balinese feel of the place. The gardens were spectacular. I sat and watched them harvest rice, then was given a impromptu tour by the head gardener and even got to feed and pat the cows. Every staff member was amazingly accommodating and happy. The villas out door bath and shower in the beautiful private garden was something to behold. I will always cherish our time there. Just to add a must do is go to the restaurant for happy hour, sit outside and watch the lit waterfall, makes a very romantic night. And yes, there was a coffee machine.

Road to the hotel had a small landslide which made it a bit longer to Ubud central. Not really anyone’s fault.

The scenic view from the villa overlooking big padi fields and school of ducks. Accessibility for transportation & food out of resort using GRAB.

The small size pool within the villa unit.
