Online News Kamandalu Hotels & Resorts		Edition March - April 2018

Dear *|FNAME|*, Greetings from Kamandalu Ubud! The months of March and April are now upon us and there are plenty of things coming up on Bali’s cultural calendar that make the island so unique. One such occasion is Nyepi or Balinese New Year, also known as the Day of Silence where all activity will come to a complete standstill. As a guest, you will be obliged to stay in the confines of the resort for a 24-hour period. Bali’s Hindu community believe that negative spirits will be discouraged from disturbing the island if it appears abandoned during Nyepi. The essence of this auspicious holiday is to reflect and recharge in preparation for the year ahead. In other news, the village of Ubud will be in the limelight this April with two world-class events. The annual BaliSpirit Festival is expected to attractmusicians, yogis, dancers and spiritual seekers from around the globe for a joyful week of non-stop activities.

GUEST TESTIMONIAL

Outstanding service Angelpad, Buderim on TripAdvisor My husband and I stayed at the resort for 5 nights and we had an amazing time. The pool villa was beautifully furnished, exceptionally clean and peaceful. We loved the private outdoor shower and the bed was very comfortable. The location was perfect for a quiet and relaxing break so ideal for couples. The grounds were magnificent and well maintained. The restaurant offered an extensive buffet breakfast and we enjoyed a very special Valentines dinner with great food and entertainment. However, what really made our trip unforgettable was the service we experienced. Every single member of staff was friendly, helpful, warm and genuine. We felt that everyone wanted us to enjoy our stay and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend Kamandalu as the best in luxury in Ubud.. More Reviews
