The Alena Resort by Pramana

We came as a family of 3 with 6 months old baby. We have been given a suite but we were upgraded to the Villa. The Alena resort is simply amazing. The villa had private pool, big round bed, huge bath tub and sheltered outside seating area. We were grateful for their service and they will even bring you to your villa all the food and drinks you ask them for. Villa was always clean and was cleaned twice a day. Every day they replenish fresh fruits and in the afternoon they will bring you complimentary coffee or tea with dessert. The non-villa area is also very nice. The pool is surrounded by nice flowers and it is good area to chill and relax. Restaurant serves tasty food and food on your plate is always nicely arranged and worth the price. The area of the hotel is a question. I do not want to say it is not good but it is not best. We moved to Alena from another place in Ubud which was really in rice fields and you could walk out and enjoy village life. What surrounds Alena felt more like "rice paddies in decline". I did not join the morning hikes but I tried on my own just like I did it the days before moving to Alena. The other place, I could walk 5-6km in the rice fields but here I ended up after 600m not knowing where to go. And I tried both directions while the more distant direction where you need to cross the road is basically the same as the one closer to the hotel. But overall, I would highly recommend The Alena Resort. Big thanks to friendly staff!
