You know that type of feeling you get when you’re in a place that has just the right energy? During our stay at Gdas everyone working at the hotel was greeting us by our names, with a super sweet and genuine smile. That made us feel super special. The resort itself is gorgeous, has everything you need for a rejuvenating experience: beautiful rooms, non-toxic toiletries, dreamy bathtub setup, delicious food, super sweet friendly staff, great pool and a jacuzzi, yoga shalas and more. We stayed in the Rice Paddy Deluxe Room, waking up every morning and opening the curtains to see that view was just precious! The location is slightly outside of Ubud center but that’s great if you want a chill place, plus the hotel has a free shuttle taking you to/from Ubud Palace every 3 hours from 9am. Food choices are plenty, and walking distance you can also find a few nice restaurants. Inside the room, everything was spotless and you can see the attention to details everywhere and the quality of the build. The evening turndown was a nice touch, with a nice message and a bedtime story, each night different. There’s morning yoga classes but I prefer doing my own as I am a yoga teacher myself. I’m considering organizing a yoga retreat here, as it’s spot on with the vibe I’m seeking for a yoga retreat. I’d recommend Gdas to anyone that is into wellness and wellbeing, and wants to enjoy Ubud, but without living in the crowded center of it. I am looking forward to return here soon!
