Puri Wulandari Resort : The Testimonials

The day is still faint when I was awakened by the twittering and chirping of wild birds. Though my eyes still drowsy, I forcefully pulled myself away from the cozy comfortable King size bed. The sweet bird calls are very inviting.
It’s true. When I pulled open my bedroom curtain, I could not believe my eyes upon seeing the mesmerizing scenery that immediately made me go for the door A thin fog gracing between the tops of canopy of the village forest at the ravine, as if welcoming me with a ‘good morning’.
I feel like I’m on the land in the sky. Perhaps this is the real beauty and serenity, I am actually at Puri Wulandari, a natural resort located on the ravine of Ayung valley in Ubud, Gianyar, Bali. About 100 meters below is the Ayung River, with its following crystal clear water along with huge rock.
Stretched out in a 3.5 hectares of land, Puri Wulandari is really very beautiful. To maintain its exclusivity, the number of villas are limited to only 34, among them; 29 Srikandi Villas each measuring 200m2, 4 Drupadi Villa which each measures to 340m2, and a 500 m2 Maharani Suites Villa.
Once inside the resort complex, we are welcomed by a picturesque green rice field. At the lobby, we are greeted by the friendly smiles of the staffs in Bali traditional clothes. From here, we’ll be accompanied to our villa in a buggy or club car, like the one they use in a golf field. The track in  this resort is quite difficult if engaged on foot. But, there’s no worry, since all our needs will be provided by the butler, ready to serve us 24 hours. “ here, we pamper our guests”, said Resort Manager of Puri Wulandari.
