I stayed at Hoshinoya Bali for two nights. The hotel is located in a jungle. I enjoyed wonderful tropical landscape in Ubud. I'm very relaxed because the staff are so kindly speaking to me and I daydream without thinking of anything in a gazebo.
Free morning yoga class is also good for health maintenance.
The strength of this hotel is its breakfast. We enjoyed a picnic style meal at the gazebo that protruded into the jungle. Additionally Indonesian and Japanese style meals in dining are very good too. Surprisingly, I'm so glad to have Osechi and Zouni, those are Japanese traditional New Year's dishes.
The hotel also gave us great dinner time.
We enjoyed special Indonesian and Japanese mixed full course food. I love their Wagyu steak and Savory egg custard. On the other hand, appetizers and sashimi platters have much room for improvement.
Having said that, it was relatively high compared to other hotel meals.
We ordered a la carte menu on the other day. I like their chicken soup and sate, skewered and grilled meat.
We couldn't enjoy the pool for some days during our stay because it was rainy season. However , we could see how beautiful the lush, green nature of the Indonesian jungle is.
