Beautiful villas and pool, great staff & location!
Our family stayed at Villa Sonia for 9 nights from the 30th November. It was a great experience and we loved every minute of it and we were sad to leave. The grounds are beautiful and the pool is sparkling clean, they have a great little kids pool as well! Our room was always neat and made up and refreshed every day. Fresh and clean towels were provided daily also. The smell of frangipani woke us up every morning and we would eat our generous breakfast by the pool every morning. It was a great stay and even better for us as we had the whole place to ourselves for 7 nights before the other guests for Christmas checked in. We made friends with all the staff, very helpful and caring people and we went on some good tours as well, our driver and friend Ketut was alway helpful, safe and cautious on the roads, the car was clean and cool with aircon. We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Sonia in December 2011 and it will be a great memory for us, we took alot of pictures.
The other fantastic thing about Villa Sonia is the location, it is on the other side of Ubud just down from the Monkey Forest. We rode through the Monkey Forest every day and the kids loved it. At night it is extremely peaceful and quiet, you would not think we were only a 3 minute scooter ride to the heart of busy Ubud. We are so glad we did our research and stayed at Nyuh Kuning as it is much quieter and peaceful than crazy but good Ubud.
One more thing, don't listen to the negative reviewer here, there is nothing to complain about, everything was perfect, they probably did'nt like the occasional gecko on their wall and had a good cry about it! Villa Sonia was a fantastic experience for us all and will be remembered always!
Unique Quality: Great staff, perfect location, beautiful gardens and facilities, rooms were very spacious and good with reliable hot water, everything was just fine!
