I've been staying at Agung Raka in Ubud since about 1996. I've stayed at a few other hotels, but the spaciousness of the grounds, the openness, and the Balinese feel of the bungalows are exquisite. The owner has changed and so have the staff, but the new pool is great. The breakfast is much tastier than before! It took a while, but I was surprised to see that the sandwiches I ordered for my lunch box were made with thin bread* and vegetables in between. The rooms have always had fatal flaws in the plumbing... Please check the gas frequently before checking in (they will replace it if you ask...) What was most disappointing this time was that my advance room designation was not accepted at all. I emailed the hotel directly, but there was no reply. I think it would be more reliable to contact them through a reservation site. However, many of the staff were working hard. I have a very good impression of them. At one point I was thinking of staying at another hotel, but Agung Raka is still the best choice for me. Even if the reinstatement of the free shuttle bus is impossible given the current traffic situation, I wish the hotel's car service could be made a little more affordable (it's more expensive than in the city). Now that Agung Raka is in a central location, I don't think you can find this laid-back atmosphere anywhere else in a mid-range hotel.
