Comments	The price is slightly to expensive for what you get - however rooms were pretty clean and spacey. The double bed was made up from two singles which was disappointing and slightly uncomfortable. The breakfast however, was delicious and I could not fault the staff and service.

Things to do

Monkey Forest - Beware of the monkeys! They may appear cute and curious but they can be quite vicious. You can buy bananas to feed the monkeys, make sure you have your cameras at the ready, these monkeys sure know how to put on a show.

Batur Temple - This is about an hour away from central Ubud on a bike. It is extremely high up in the mountains and the higher you go the colder you get! If you embark on this adventure I advise you take a jumper. From here you can see a great panoramic view of Mount Batur and Lake Batur. There is a small entry fee and you must be covered up. If you do not have the appropriate attire the locals will make you buy/rent a sarong and sometimes even a head piece (bit of a money making scam). The Temple its self is not much to look at, however the views are simply breathe taking and it is well worth the trip.

Tegenungan Waterfall - I was unable to get to see this waterfall but I have heard great things about it. I would highly recommend a visit if you have time.

Hanging Gardens - This is a phenomenal resort in the heart of the rain forest of Ubud. At approximately £300 + a night it is a real luxury, I managed to worm my way in and have a quick peak  - lets just say a night there would be money well spent!
