Checking back in with our experience at Anantara Ubud.
Property: Anantara Ubud Resort
Status: Titanium
Room booked: Payangan Suite (which, despite the name, is not actually a suite)
Room upgraded/type: Yes - upgraded to Forest View Pool villa
Rate: A$560++ / night (Stay Longer Special rate w/ breakfast - for 3 adults, over Easter)
Early check in/late check out: Early check in not required. 3pm checkout requested; initially offered 12.30pm checkout (a whole 30mins extra) despite hotel seemingly not very busy; then granted 3pm when I enquired about late checkout being a Titanium benefit
Amenity: Yes - bowl of fresh fruit
Free breakfast: Yes
Recommend: Yes for a very serene and tranquil stay, with friendly staff, nice spa, good food. But not for everyone if you want to be close to lots of sites or like somewhere with a bit of a buzz - the atmosphere is soporific.
