Nandini Jungle by Hanging Gardens

The hotel had amazing view with the luxurious amenities. Hotel staff was really nice cooperative. Rooms were really comforting and pacifying.

Nandini Jungle is pure luxury and tranquility. My stay at this hotel was delightful, although I must admit that there are more mature guests here than someone of my age. Mostly individuals aged 40 and older. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant experience, thanks to the hotel, the location in Ubud, and especially the excellent breakfast. Just a small note for the younger crowd: this accommodation is situated in the north of Ubud, a rather quiet area where Gojek and Grab aren't readily available for ride services or food delivery. Additionally, the hotel is about 30 minutes away from the center of Ubud.

Since I was only scheduled for a one night stay, I wanted to experience everything on property. I checked in around 5 PM and decided I would avail of the massage appt that was open for 5:30 PM. Since I really did not know the full layout of the property, the young lady who checked me in became like a personal guide explaining all the amenities in my room and then escorting me to the spa area so I would not be late for the appointment. She would also become my source of information in case I needed something during my stay. From the SPA, I headed up to the bar for a cocktail and then had a full dinner at the restaurant. I was so surprised that there was a mini showcase of Balinese culture around 8 PM that evening. It was a wonderful way to be greeted to Bali. Heading back to the room required some steps and stairs from a lower level to a higher level where my room was located. The walkways were well lit so I did not need to open my phone for additional lighting. My room was exactly what I had hoped for. It was just a few steps from the main lobby. It had a spacious bathroom with an oblong soaking tub and also a great shower. The room also featured a two sided balcony/veranda with a lounge bed, a two person seating and a hanging swing. Wow what a wonderful view. The bed was very comfortable with a desk that spanned the entire length of the king size bed. How perfect that I can just lay out my personal items across the entire length if I choose to. The best part was having a power source next to the bed so I can easily plug my phone. The next day, I was awakened by the morning sunlight. I had a chance to enjoy the hot coffee and the welcome fruits on the veranda before heading down for another appointment at the SPA. I also had a chance to just enjoy an early morning walk to the pool area. It was 8 AM so the pool was not yet open to swim in but it was so peaceful to just chill for a bit to appreciate the jungle view.

Beautiful spot... lots of steps because of the hillside but thats what we went there for.

Nandini is a beautiful hotel as private and relaxing as we imagined. The staff were so friendly and attentive making us feel really well cared for. All food we had was delicious and high quality making our stay everything we could want
