On a l'impression quand on arrive d'etre seul au monde dans un petit paradis au milieu des rizieres. La construction est typique balinaise avec plusieures petites maisons. Tout est beau et concu afin que l'on se sente bien , comme chez soit.
La piscine a debordement est incroyable, immense, avec une vue incroyable et je recommande tous de faire comme nous, c'est a dire de se faire masser au bord de la piscine. Et je ne peux pas finir sans parler de la gentillesse et de l'acceuil de toute l'equipe et du formidable cordon bleu et majordome Koko.

        <p itemprop="description">SERVICE:
I can't say enough great things about the service.  The owner went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order for our reservation, and that the pickup from our previous location to Shanti Lodge went flawlessly (and it did).  Once we got to the Shanti Lodge Koko took over and our stay went perfectly.  He always knew when to check in on us and when to give us space to relax.  They did a great job in making us feel like we were at home and they at our service.  Every person on the staff was extremely friendly and attentive.  

PROPERTY:

The property was beautiful!  An oasis in the hustle and bustle of the more frequented places.  A step back into the old world, I felt we had stepped outside of time here. There are forward facing and backward facing porches to lounge in so that you could choose whether to enjoy the view of the rice terraces/fields or face the other way at the horizon and scenery.  This place is unlike any I've stayed in.  As another reviewer commented; it's more than they expected in a good way.  We thought we might do some excursions when we booked Shanti, but after our arrival all we wanted to do was indulge in the present moment and enjoy what the lodge had to offer.  Lounging in the open air living area reading books or playing on the wooden xylophone... meandering over to the gorgeous private 20m infinity pool for a swim, walks around the property, watching the rain clouds roll in and out from Shanti's elevated position.  As someone who was looking for an escape from a fast-paced, high-pressure lifestyle, this place is the exact escape I was looking for.  When you are on the property, it's like nothing else exists.   There is plenty of room to accommodate large groups and we peeked into the other rooms and found them all to be well appointed.  A great place for family reunions, or groups of friends looking for a relaxing environment.  Added note, my fiance early in the trip made it a point for us to go to the rice terraces near Ubud, thinking there wouldn't be others as nice; well she admitted to me that had she known how beautiful the rice terraces were at Shanti, she would have skipped the others as these were just as beautiful!

LOCATION: 

The location was perfect for a getaway.  Both of us were avoiding touristy areas and were in search of peace and quiet; in that respect this fit exactly what we were looking for.  It's beautiful and peaceful there.  I did get confused when I read a previous post about the beach being 5 min away.  I misread it as walking distance, but it is clearly 5 min by motorbike (my error).  The closest beach can be walked to, but it is roughly 20-30min hike/walk away.  We did the walk unprepared due to my error, but thanks to that I can pass on some advice.  I don't recommend flip flops as you will walk down a hill, through a rocky creek, then up another hill with knee high grass in some places before you get to a country road that will take you over towards the beach.  We loved the trek, but quickly regretted wearing our beach wardrobe (flip flops, shorts, etc).  Koko made sure that we were guided when we insisted on walking to the beach, but I'll add that he initially recommended giving us rides to the beach instead.  Our guide was excellent by the way.  He taught us about the different trees, plants, and fruits as well as other things along the way.  We did take Koko up on his recommendation when we went to another beach and it was a nice and easy ride there.  I think the trek is fine for kids and adults, but may become a little challenging for the elderly (depending on their level of fitness).  I can't comment on nearby nightlife or cities. There was no reason to leave (we were only there 3 full days) as the ambiance is great, food was exceptional, and there was enough to keep us entertained when we got tired of lounging.  

LIKED BEST OR LEAST:

Clearly I loved the whole experience.  If there was anything I had to comment on improving it might be the massages.  We both opted to get massages (we found out after the fact that the first one is complementary!), and although the ladies were sweet and clearly attempted to do their best, it did come a bit short of our expectations (we're not the high maintenance type either).  I hate to even complain about it since it was complementary and I did still tip them well for coming out to us, but I am not sure I would do it again.  This is a service they call in (I'm not sure if it's always the same people), so others may have a different experience. None of this dings Shanti as a top place to stay, but just something to keep an eye on.  

FINAL NOTE:

You will not regret staying at Shanti Lodge.  I've already listed it as place I want to return to visit.  Count on the whole team there to operate flawlessly to make sure your arrival and departure are seamless, your stay exceptional, and your experience memorable. 

Five stars, hope to visit Shanti Lodge again soon.</p>
