We loved our stay at Arma. The breakfast was fabulous with Balinese and western foods, salads, pastries, egg station and delicious traditional hot foods. The rooms were set in the most beautiful grounds- we felt like we were staying in the jungle- lush and beautiful. The cultural show was also excellent. The only thing to be aware of if ordering a Grab is that the hotel has 3 completely seperate entrances- do just be specific with your pick up point. Would definitely recommend a stay here

The gardens around the property are beautiful, and all of the staff were warm, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the quality of the rooms is very inconsistent.

The first room we were allocated was very old and tired, with a removable padlock on the door, a dated bathroom that looked stained and unclean, and no television, despite the Expedia listing stating that our room included one. After we queried the missing TV, the hotel moved us to another room. This room was significantly better and genuinely felt like we had checked into a different hotel.

The property has a lot of charm and potential, but it doesn’t appear to have been maintained to the standard expected of a four-star resort. I also twisted my ankle after stepping into a gap in the stairs, which is a quite a safety hazard (see photo).

Overall, I wouldn’t rate this as a 4-star property. In my opinion, it is closer to a 3-star resort. Given my experience, I’m also surprised by its 9.4 rating on Expedia, especially as I stayed at several other hotels in Bali that offered a much higher standard of accommodation and maintenance.

It's a beautiful tranquil escape from the busy city traffic and at the same time it's steps away from said city and shops when you're ready to venture out. Staff are extremely courteous and helpful. They made special decorative arrangements knowing we were staying there for our wedding anniversary. On mornings when we had 2am and 4am wakeup calls for our excursions they prepared breakfast boxes and had them for us as we passed reception on way out.

We stayed in the villa with private pool. Minor remark is that the shower plumbing had noticable wear and cracks causing water to spray in directions outside of the shower stall. It was fine for us and didn't affect our satisfaction. For the relative price of this place you're getting +++ value compared to small run-down hotel rooms in western countries.

We would definitely come back!

My partner and I stayed at Arma Hotel for 3 nights on holiday. This resort was the oasis we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Here we were able to be present and felt grounded by the nature within the resort.

The grounds are beautifully kept. The museum was a wonderful way to get to know the heart of Balinese culture. We met painters while wandering around the museum and loved getting to know them and hearing about their work.

The people are extremely friendly and genuinely interested in connecting with you and helping you get what you are looking for out of your stay. The front desk was very accessible, and we were able to communicate with them seamlessly through WhatsApp, where they helped us schedule our activities for the following day.

There’s a really special energy throughout the space, with a strong sense of gratitude and authenticity that you can feel during your stay. If you are looking to get to know the heart of the Balinese people through art, nature, and spirituality, then this is the place for you.

We also highly recommend the golden hour tour!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 8 night stay at the Arma museum and resort, we stayed in a villa with a private pool.
This resort is for those looking for peaceful, lush green surrounding which have been beautifully and lovingly maintained. Our villa was spacious and had a rustic authentic Balinese charm, not polished and sterile but clean and full of character. Each and every member of staff was helpful and polite, a real credit to the resort. 100% recommended

The grounds of this hotel are the shining star of this hotel. It completely blew me away with how stunning it was. You truly feel like you’re in Bali. The hotel room needs to be updated with a lot of parts in the bathroom in bedroom that looked old or dirty (rim of the bathtub). That was the only downside of our stay. Overall we loved our stay!

Stunning set up! The spa was amazing with very reasonable prices including a 20% discount for guests staying there. Restaurant dinner was really good. Breakfast choices were not that great so we settled for the fantastic eggs from the live egg station.Egg dishes cooked to perfection! Their art gallery was pretty. Our room size was huge. Recommend the addition of black out curtains as there was too much light from night lights and sunlight streaming into the room.Super friendly polite service. Must wear insect spray when walking around the premises as quite a lot of mosquitos which is expected. The highlight of the place is the nature surroundings and stone art that took my breath away! I would definitely recommend the place!

This Villa is truly amazing. It was everything we hoped for. James and Annie and staff took care of every need. The property is clean and huge.
If i were to say anything for feedback is that we had no blankets for the bed. It is tropical and perhaps for most, no blankets are required. But i needed more than a sheet. With air on it did get cool at night. So we used a towel to add additional cover. But thats just us, as Canadians. It would have been nice to have the option.
The food was amazing and staff service impeccable. The pool is glorious! Villa is situated so nothing is too far.
Thank you for a memorable trip

The setting is superb, with a river running by, two places to eat, and beautiful walks in the property. But it is impossible to go very far from one's room without climbing two ot three flights of steps, which is a bit daunting if you arrive after dark, as we did. The staff were always there to carry cases and to be helpful throughout our visit.

Beautiful grounds, disappointing breakfast.

We stayed in the (cheaper) modern part of the resort. Lots of walking and stairs which may not suit some people. There was a shower but no bath. The grounds are this resort's best feature and the pool was gorgeous, right next to a rice paddy. Our room was comfortable and clean. It offers a quiet haven of respite from Ubud's busy tourist bustle. On the downside, the resort has an impersonal feel and I was disappointed with the included breakfast - tiny serves and unimaginative presentation. I had hoped for a better breakfast menu considering the star rating. We went elsewhere for other meals.

Happy honeymooners

We came the Arma hotel on our honeymoon. We were first shown to a deluxe room and were quite disappointed, but as we explained we were on honeymoon and politely disappointed we were quickly upgraded to an absolutely beautiful room with possibly the best bathroom i've ever seen (definitely worth paying extra for the better rooms). The gallery and grounds are spectacular for the creative minded - full of inspiration and quiet places to think, draw, carve etc. We highly recommend the Golden Hour tour with own Agung Rai. Learned so much about the beautiful culture and island of Bali.

still nice but lost a bit of its charm

stayed at the Arma the 4th time. Booked Delux room to get terrace with daybed (only room 801+803 have them now!) They tried at first to give us the new renovated rooms but they only share a terrace with 4 other rooms. Breakfast is a la card and very limited/restricted (eg. only fruit OR fruit juice) it`s still a beautiful hotel & very peaceful but it lost the special service and extra touch it used to have. Also Neighbor is building right next to room 803/801 a large house - currently building noise and it will spoil the few when finish.

Sweet life in the suite villa

The hotel part of the resort is being upgraded but the villas are well away from any construction noise. The suite villa is gorgeous, huge pool and generous private garden, and views of the adjacent rice field and surrounding gardens. The interior consists of a large bed/sitting room (with king size bed, floral arrangments and orchids), a dressing room and separate bathroom with mezzzanine viewing area (pretty carved panels and comfy sofa). The grounds of the resort are huge and beautiful - full of hindu statues and water features and contiguous with the adjacent museum.There are two restaurants and a coffee shop - all good and free afternoon tea by the main pool (with wifi). We had a thoroughly peaceful and luxurious stay and considered it excellent value.

So much to offer in a secret serene spot...

Our stay was very pleasant- great value for money and comfortable. There were many staff in attendance and all were patient, extremely helpful and proficient. Lush, large grounds which sometimes felt as if they we're your own private garden. Nice sitting by the pool for afternoon tea while reading and the breakfast was modest but tasty. Didn't get to try the cafe or restaurant but Ubud has too many great places to eat. The museum was a nice surprise - cool, expansive and covers much of Bali's Art history with exhibits on Walter Spies and 'Ubud Prince' Dr. A.A. Madé Djelantik as well as contemporary artists such as I Made Sumadiyasa. Large rooms, bed comes with mosquito net and mosquito coil although we had no problems (mid-June). The only minor problem was that our shower head would inadvertently flood the floor of our room but that was cleaned up without any issues. Overall a great place to retreat to after a day explring Ubud or the surrounds.

En smuk oase midt i Ubud. Dejlig have. Poolvillaerne er store og har en stor gårdhave og det er dejligt at man med sit ophold er med til at støtte balinesisk kulturarv. Poolen kunne dog godt være mindre men renere, og rejser man med små børn duer familievillaer med to soveværelser ikke, man skal hele vejen rundt om poolen/gennem haven for at komme mellem værelserne
