Tanah Merah Art Resort by Agata

This place is beautiful!!!!!! I will be definitely coming back

Great hotel, good breakfast selection to choose from, attentive staff members and all facilities are working. Nice view from my vila by the pool.

beautiful view, but u need a scooter if u go to the center of ubud. It's a little far from the center.

I’ve noticed this hotel writes defensive comments on any negative reviews but I’m not sure how they will defend the three scorpions who I found scuttling menacingly around my room (one each night of my stay) with a bonus millipede one night. I explained my concern to staff who shrugged their shoulders and said they had sprayed the room. I suspect my sting-tailed friends entered my room at night via the large gaps between the windows and the sill. As I watched a lot of Indiana Jones as a kid I was able to fearlessly squash my prey with ann empty limoncello bottle. However it was disconcerting and not an experience I’d like to repeat.

We have booked Deluxe Studio Rooms of this resort based on good reviews / rating of 4* property but this turned out to be our biggest mistake. The resort is situated far away from main Ubud markets in isolation on a hill. As soon as we checked in we were shocked to see our rooms which were situated towards backyard of the main resort in a building without any views. The rooms were so cheap and poor and even basic amenities were missing. They were like servant's room separate / different from main resort. For the first time ever I have stayed in a property where even there was no closed wardrobe to keep our clothes. Room furniture was very poor, even doors were so cheap that noise from corridors / other rooms can be easily heard. Bathroom / shower area size also very small and poor. Bath towels dirty, baby pillows of poor quality, plastic glasses in the room. Overall they were very cheap kind of rooms and do not match even basic standards of even a 3* property. On complaining about the quality of rooms the manager replied that we have booked same category of rooms and cannot help. Agreed that we have booked the basic category of rooms but they should have minimal standards and amenities. Even base room categories in a 4*/5* hotels maintain some standards. Breakfast was very limited and on order basis, the item can be taken only once. (Never experienced such before). No lights in the pool / pool surroundings so you cannot swim in pools in evenings. Spa always remain closed no staff.
