overview
Taman Rahasia Tropical Sanctuary and Spa sits in Banjar Penestanan Kaja, on the Sayan side of Ubud, in tropical gardens with rice-field paths running from the property. Rooms are air-conditioned and spacious, each with a private terrace facing the greenery, a seating area, and a four-poster bed with mosquito nets.
There's an outdoor pool, a spa offering massage, and a tour desk for car rental and excursions, breakfast draws consistently strong comment from guests. Note the restaurant serves breakfast only, so other meals mean leaving the property; the walk into Ubud takes about 15 minutes, with no free shuttle, so plan transport for evenings. Airport transfers and late check-in after 22:00 carry separate fees.

our review
One thing to plan around: the restaurant serves breakfast and nothing else. Every other meal means leaving, and at Penestanan Kaja that means a walk or a scooter, so factor it into the cost of staying.
That breakfast, for what it is worth, draws the strongest praise in the reviews. Rooms are spacious with a private terrace facing the greenery, a seating area and a four-poster bed with mosquito nets, and rice-field paths run straight out of the property. There is an outdoor pool, a spa and a tour desk. A 9.0 from 623 guests is strong for a 3-star. We would book it and plan dinners elsewhere.
