In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Rooms here get praised for being spacious and nicely finished. Some look straight out over the rice fields from the bed, others face the green forest, and more than one guest sums it up as waking to a beautiful view of the rice terraces and jungle. The Westin Heavenly Bed — known for a genuinely comfortable night's sleep — is a key selling point, and the Heavenly Spa rounds it out with a full menu and a relaxing setting that earns steady praise.
Food and amenities
There's an on-site restaurant and a breakfast buffet, plus an infinity pool set over the forest that's one of the prettiest spots on the property. Free Wi-Fi is included. The whole thing runs on the Westin/Marriott playbook, so the amenities are consistent and you mostly know what you're getting before you arrive.
Location and getting there
The Westin sits in Singakerta, roughly 20 minutes from the center of Ubud — the main drawback a few reviews mention. There's a hotel shuttle, but you'll want to plan it ahead. If easy access to the markets and restaurants is your priority, a hotel closer to town might suit you better; if a quiet rest is the point, this setting works well.
Things to know before booking
The 20-minute distance from town means you'll rely on the shuttle or a hire car to move around. Room views are not uniform — some face the forest rather than the rice terraces, so flag a rice-field view at booking if that's what you're after. And because the resort is built around quiet, it's a poor fit if you'd rather be able to stroll into central Ubud on foot.
Our take
The Westin Ubud suits travelers who want the confidence of a renowned brand and a stay among Bali's real rice fields and forest, without rolling the dice on an unknown local hotel. It scores 9.0/10 overall — 9.4 on Trip.com — with rates starting around $254 a night.
