The Sankara Resort & Spa

Staff

Pool side bar

My wife and I loved EVERYTHING. It literally was a perfect experience!

Everything staff, vibes , pool wish I stayed longer. Especially meri in the kitchen and the driver of the shuttle. And all the reception staff look after you very well.

The Sankara Resort is a good property overall, but it could use some care and attention. My room was comfortable enough, though there was a persistent damp smell, and the towels were quite worn and in need of replacement. In general, the facilities look like they would benefit from some updates and better upkeep.I also noticed that nearly every staff member was wearing a ‘trainee’ badge, which left me wondering where the more experienced team had gone. While the staff were polite and tried their best, the overall service lacked the polish you’d expect from a resort of this level.As other guests have mentioned, there is ongoing construction right next door, and it looks like it will continue for at least another six months — something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a quiet stay.That said, the resort itself has potential, and with some investment in maintenance and staff development, it could be a really special place again.

Everything! It had a lovely vibe and my room was exactly as described if not better. All the staff were wonderful: helpful, very professional and very efficient but the front desk staff was exceptional - especially Yumi, Diva and Donko

A Peaceful Escape in Ubud – Loved Every MomentJust got back from a 3-night stay at The Sankara Resort by Pramana in Ubud, and I already miss it. From the moment I arrived, the lush greenery and serene atmosphere made me feel instantly relaxed.​The RoomMy room was a beautiful blend of traditional Balinese design and modern comfort. The spacious layout, comfortable bed, and open-air bathroom with a marble bathtub created a tranquil retreat. Waking up to the sounds of nature and the view of the surrounding gardens was a highlight each morning.​The PoolThe resort's infinity pool is a standout feature. Surrounded by palm trees and overlooking the lush landscape, it was the perfect spot to unwind.BreakfastEach morning, I looked forward to the complimentary breakfast. The variety of delicious options, from fresh tropical fruits to traditional Balinese dishes, ensured a delightful start to the day. The meals were beautifully presented and catered to different tastes.​The StaffThe staff was exceptional—always attentive, friendly, and eager to assist with any requests. Their genuine hospitality enhanced the overall experience and made my stay even more enjoyable.​LocationSituated just a short drive from central Ubud.Overall, The Sankara Resort is a hidden gem that combines natural beauty, luxurious accommodations, and outstanding service. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a serene and memorable stay in Ubud.

Comfortable and beautifully designed spacious rooms,.nice rice fields within the hotel grounds.

Behaviour of some of the staff, lots of trainees at the restaurant not understanding English and breakfast orders. No Yoga classes due to instructor sickness, very poor for a large company like Pramana not to have a replacement. Located in a busy little area away from town. Construction one side, the other a day club. And not informed us about their current constraction next door, no apology from the staff upon arrival. Very noisy around the pool due to this, not relaxing at all and disappointing. The Sankara certainly is not the usual Pramana standard as others. Shuttle service was good and nice spa.

The staff was just amazing, always smiling and so happy to help you. The food was lovely not a vast menu but what we have was excellent

Just a few small niggles the towels looked grubby could do with throwing away and being replaced, old toiletry bottles were corroded and looked a mess. Last thing not really suitable for the elderly and disabled no stair rails. Apart from those few niggles we would definitely go back

Nice and quiet resort

Bathroom does not have door, breakfast is very limited for choice and very small portions.

Nice resort, check in takes forever. We were so tired and wanted to check in so we could go get dinner and come back and sleep. They have a very slow check in process.Someone takes you to the room and explains everything, like where are the towels, soap, window, desk, water, making you feel like you have never been to a hotel before. Every thing is the same as any hotel anywhere in the world.They try to be nice and welcoming, but I don’t think it’s necessary sending someone in the room to show me where the stuff in the room is.

Disgusting and we left as soon as possible

Review:I am extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. We paid €650 for three nights, expecting at least a decent level of cleanliness and comfort. However, what we encountered was absolutely unacceptable.As soon as we entered the room, we were shocked to find dead bedbugs on the beds, which was beyond disgusting. The entire room had a horrible smell, and the towels were extremely overused, looking dirty and unhygienic. The furniture and equipment were old, faded, and poorly maintained, making the whole place feel neglected.As soon as we saw the condition of the room, we left immediately and requested a full refund. However, the hotel only refunded 50% of the amount we paid, which was completely unfair given the state of the accommodation.For the price we paid, this was a complete rip-off. I would never stay here again and strongly advise others to avoid this hotel at all costs.

We loved everything about this hotel! It was absolutely fabulous. The room was stunning, very private and quite. The staff were very accommodating. We will definitely come back.

I think the breakfast was a bit poor. I would prefer a bit more variety and options. However,that wouldn't stop me from coming back. It's just a minor issue to complete perfection.

The rooms are spacious and feels luxurious. And the views of their garden and the rice fields are calming. We also enjoyed their ala carte breakfast -both western and indonesian.

The Kumbuh restaurant is a hit and miss and quite pricey. Too bad the construction work in the neighbouring lots can be distracting.

Beautiful environment, big swimming pool, nice food, friendly staff.

The facility is a little bit old, and the shower is not enough pressure.

The staff were amazing. The room spacious with a balcony, lovely bathroom. After reading some reviews about geckos, I was super worried, but I never came across any in my room. Had yoga session as well, and oh my, the massage and pedicure was amazing ?.

Not having a buffet breakfast?. Also, my time was short ?

The forest like environment and it is not a big resort which makes it more enjoyable.

It's not that we didn't like anything, more so the fact that there is room for improvement on cleaning of our villas. Bedsheets and pillow case were not changed. With the humidity, these things will smell if not changed. Extra bed was a mattress on the floor which we didn't end up using as too many mosquitoes. The main bed has a mosquito net which is handy. With the heavy rain the bathroom ceiling started to leak. But it was time to check out and the leak didn't bother us.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, no complaints there! Beautiful view from our stay as well.

The room service (food) quality was quite poor. One of the worst pizzas I’ve eaten in my life. There was mould on the curtains and the bedsheet weren’t changed every day - giving off a stale smell. Bathroom is set out awkwardly without partition between shower and toilet. Water pressure was so poor it was difficult to take a proper shower and feel clean.

The location, the villa facilities were also great.

The front office staff were not very helpful. In addition, there were lots of trainees who cannot understand English at all. So was a little frustrating to keep repeating yourself. The Fnb team were good! The bed is the deluxe villa was extremely uncomfortable and lots of mosquitos. I also found that it wasn’t cleaned very properly by the housekeeping.

Breakfast was amazing. Ambience was good. Resort was properly maintained.

The location of the resort is away from the beaches and from the market. It should be within walking distance of them.

My room is stunning and the hotel gardens and swimming pool are beautiful. Also they have transport to get into town so you don’t need to pay for a taxi.Staff and service is great everyone’s helpful and welcoming.Massages are amazing !

Laundry was £200,000.00 RP for a few items and they are not very accommodating with breakfast if you want to mix the selection up.I found room service also expensive
