Gamat Bay

Villa was beautiful and it was great to have a large pool as well as the private villa pool. The view of the rice field as you come in to the resort is breathtaking. The restaurant was disappointing as the food wasn’t up to the standard of the hotel which was a shame. The hotel is quite isolated which is lovely for peace and quiet but the shuttle isn’t very frequent which makes getting around a pain. Would be great if they increased the number of shuttles a day or did it on a bookable basis as many of the other hotels seem to do. The trips they are offer are quite expensive so would recommend looking on Trip Advisor for those instead. Also everything seems to be priced in US dollars.

We enjoyed every moment of 6 day stay in this 2 bedroom villa. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Even when we arrived earlier than expected they gave us access to a smaller room to rest up until our room was ready . The room service menu options were delicious. The villa was beautiful!!!! I wish the jacuzzi got hot but i guess it wasn’t mean to be a jacuzzi lol So don’t be too surprised that it’s the same temperature as the pool. Many other reviews mentioned the bugs, lizards , mosquitoes and crowing roosters in the early morning; and i will say that is true…but it’s NOT bothersome the way ppl make it seem. There’s a lot of greenery/jungle in Indonesia. Bali is literally a 3rd world paradise so i’m not sure why many think it’s a bug free zone. Take your bug spray (use it 2-3x a day) …use the mosquito bed net provided to you and you’ll be fine. The villa was about a hour away from the airport since it’s located in Ubud but it was close (within 15min-30min) to all the places we wanted to visit. I have no complaints and would definitely stay here again =)

Garcia was a fantastic stay, exquisite room kept immaculately clean each day. Staff at the hotel were so very polite, thoughtful and professional in the way they treat their guests. The location in Ubud was great, even though it is 7km from town the hotel offer a shuttle which made the daily visit to town a breeze. This was tue first stay in Ubud for us, after many Bali holidays, and feel completely satisfied with our decision to stay in Ubud, at the Garcia. Highly recommended.
