LBB Travels: Mandapa a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Ubud Bali

posted on: Wednesday, December 28, 2016


One way I wanted to celebrate the closing of 2016 is by highlighting my absolute favorite trip of the year. That was my stay at the Mandapa in Ubud, Bali!

From start to finish the experience at the Mandapa was incredible- and that is putting it lightly. The property feels like a sanctuary nestled in the mountains. Our villa was out of this world with it's own private pool and second house with a  living room. On the first night we had an amazing meal outside at one of their 20 star restaurants (at least that's the rating they deserve).

On the second day, the resort set up a picnic for us in the middle of the rice paddies that they maintain and preserve no the reserve. 


That evening we had dinner in a private cocoon that sat along the river. I know they really get me because there was a two-course dessert. Heaven you guys!!



On the last day (wait, I don't want this to end) the Mandapa set up a day of exploring beautiful Ubud. We jumped into our biggie complete with tour guide (he was the sweetest!!) and headed to visit to the rice paddies at Tegalalang. It was amazing feeling so small amongst all that beauty.

Next we visited two breathtaking temples and learned all about the history and culture of Ubud. After that, we headed to coffee tasting where we sampled a variety of tasty beverages but the stand out was the kopi luwak. They kept the secret behind that a surprise to me and for good reason!! Google it and you won't be disappointed. 

I feel so grateful for the time I spent at Mandapa. The location, the property, the insanely welcoming and accommodating staff- I can't say thank you enough. I hope to be back again some day!

    1. Hello, I am Theresa Williams After being in relationship with Anderson for years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4 pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem. email: drogunduspellcaster@gmail.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other Case.
