Honest Review of Padma Resort Ubud

We recently stayed in the Padma Hotel just north of Ubud. Spoiler alert: It was amazing. The resort itself is north of Ubud, in a quiet corner of the jungle.

This place has had a place in our heart since we first stayed there. Not only for the gorgeous setting and amazing hospitality, but also for how much they care about the land and community. The property is run by westerners, but all staff who work there are from the local villages and actually own th[...]
