We are so so so so so sad to be leaving the Viceroy and Ubud in general. The view from any point in this outdoor hotel is mesmerizing, especially if you love tropical views.

The view from any point in this outdoor hotel is mesmerizing, especially if you love tropical views. You might even catch monkeys fighting in the distant tree tops across the valley.
All villas face east with beautiful sunrises and nightime mist/fog if you’re lucky.
The staff were the highlight of it all. They truly are so genuine and authentic, easy to talk to, and best of all; light-hearted with an easy-going sense of humor. I can’t name specific employees because they were all so welcoming; everyone from the front desk to the electrician and the bellboys.
Turn down service is offered almost twice a day. They come back later in the day with new towels if you need them.
Large speakers are provided and are easy to connect to, as well as a Netflix-equipped TV.
My two comments on the rooms are: there isn’t a dresser for girls. There is a chair and more than enough room to have a full on dresser, so I’m sure that is an easy fix for the hotel to add. I would suggest either having an outlet in the closet to plug in a hairdryer, or just adding a mirror to the right of the tv, where the chair is tucked into the desk. I had to do my hair in the reflection of the TV LOL!
The open concept bathroom is beautifully symmetrical with a bathtub dead center and his and her towels on either side. There is a separate room for the toilet and a separate open shower. Two sinks lie on either side for his and hers. But what’s the best thing about this place? Their tap water is drinkable/filtered😭😭😭😭 (happy tears!) We didn’t have to worry about closing our mouths in the shower or brushing our teeth with bottled water (although plentiful was still provided). Last but not least the bed is massive and the sheets were pristine clean.
The spa was a let down, the staff weren’t all that wonderful, and the spa room was semi luxurious. Given that we were staying in one of the most picturesque locations in Ubud, it would have been nice for the room to at least have a window with a view or connect more to the outdoors, like the rest of the hotel. Conclusion: the price was not worth the spa.
There is a french restaurant that we didn’t try (Aperitif) and a bar next to it called Pinstripe which is a MUST experience. Moody, luxurious, and the drinks are spectacular. Comes with a price tag to match, but for those who enjoy a cigar lounge feel, it was worth it. The walk-in cigar humidor was also trés cool.
If we ever come back to Ubud, we won’t think twice about rebooking at the Viceroy, hands down one of the most wonderful hotel experiences we’ve ever had.
Note: do not be deceived by the pictures. It is 100x more breathtaking in person.
