The place feels like pure magic – a true one‑of‑a‑kind experience. Though it sits a little off Sidemen’s center, the walkable distance adds to its authenticity. I was blown away by every detail: the welcome décor, tiny flowers everywhere, the flower‑bathtub, traditional Balinese touches, lush gardens, the pool, the yoga shala overlooking the mountains, and the view of Mount Agung from my room. Daily room cleaning was impeccable, and even the flip‑flops were nicely Balinese‑styled. The room terrace and the view of the restaurant were fantastic. Staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, offering complimentary foot massages and free yoga lessons from 8‑9 am each morning, plus a rice‑field walk. Fresh towels and water were refilled daily, and breakfast was coordinated to arrive in the room so I didn’t have to worry about it. I could talk endlessly about how magical this place is, but you just have to experience it yourself. Thanks, Subak Tabola!
On the downside, insects buzzed around in the rooms and items fell from the roof, which was a bit unpleasant, though I understand that’s part of the traditional Balinese vibe. A maintenance check on the wooden ceilings might help. I was excited about the bicycles provided for exploring, but they seemed not in good condition, so I didn’t use them. These issues don’t take away from the magic, though.
