Viceroy Ubud, Bali – To Live Like Kings and Queens

This is actually an old review of Viceroy Bali in Ubud, where we stayed at during our honeymoon trip in 2014. There are so many of hotels and villas now in Bali, choosing one has proven to be quite a challenging task for us. At the end we decided to split our honeymoon trip to three hotels at three different areas: Kuta, Ubud and Seminyak.

I left my ♥heart♥ in Bali – Where did we stay

We went for another holiday to Bali in November. This time, we split our stay to two areas, in Ubud and Seminyak. This time, I was finally able to book us rooms in the famous Tegal Sari hotel, a small boutique resort-like accommodation just at the end of Monkey Forest street. It truly is as what people say on TripAdvisor, a very budget-friendly yet super comfortable, top service, extreme clean rooms, and very relaxing place. We booked two super deluxe rooms, one of which is super deluxe wooden room. We were too excited when we got here and somehow we just forgot to take more photos of the interior of the rooms (scold myself redface)

In Seminyak, we tried out the two bedroom pool villa at Amadea Resort & Villas. I’d say the location is perfect on Kayu Aya, which can be said as the main hub of Seminyak with plenty of restaurants/cafes open till very late and shops around the district. The villa itself in term of size is HUGE, consists of two separate buildings, one is the master bedroom and the other is a two-storey building where ground floor is kitchen/dining/living area and second bedroom on top-level. The only complain we had would just be the open bathroom being the entry ways for many mozzies.

The housekeeper team made cute origami towels every time they cleaned the villa. These cute towel origami are something we were looking forward to come back to our room everyday just to find out what we got for the day. Below are some of the cutest ones that we remembered to document 🙂
