Wonderfully peaceful
Loved this vegan hotel by river. We had a spacious hillside suite with plunge pool.
The hotel is small and well appointed with details that matter to a traveler. It is a peaceful and restoring environment with one of the best couples massage I’ve ever experienced: from ambiance of room to therapists.

Amazing Hotel
This hotel is fantastic and the staff auper friendly and helpful. The food is just amazing!
For Bali it’s on the pricier side and for me the only criticism is the mattress which is too hard (however this is personal preference).

its a beautiful property and a retreat in its actual sense. Very peaceful and the staff are amazing and extremely pleasant. You feel relaxed as soon as you enter the property - serene and secluded and awesome location right next to the river. Plus all the dining is completely plant based :-)
The only thing to be aware of is it is a bit outside of Ubud - roughly 30 mins from the Ubud city centre
also I found the spa to be quite on the expensive side

Fivelements was a magical experience, great quality food, clean eating, health. The ladies and gentlemen working at this retreat are 5 star unpretentious respectful and genuinely lovely helpful People. The facilities are 5 star, stone bath private pool outdoor showers all beautiful and relaxing. The only advice I would offer is that the bed was quite hard to sleep on although I did not ask for a different room I am sure they would have given me one.
Thank you for your hospitality

Absolutely stunning property. Deserves far better than the 5 stars. The food was spectacular, I'm still dreaming about it. As a gluten free person, it was such a delight to have a menu I could order anything from. My husband who isn't gluten free loved it as well. We are both meat eaters, but didn't miss animal proteins at all. The people were so nice, our yoga instructor was great. Only issue was we wish we had stayed longer.

Great property. Quite over priced compared to Bali but you get what you pay for. Staff are excellent. Very good vibes all round. We had the too suite you could get - lucky for us the room next door was empty the whole time we stayed so we weren’t bugged by having to share the pool. For the price we could’ve probably had double the experience else where. But it was a nice time and the river was lovely to hear.

PROS: EXCELLENT PRIVATE ROOM, QUIET RIVERFRONT, GREAT DESIGN
CONS: ABSURDLY EXPENSIVE SERVICES, VERY LIMITED VEGAN ONLY MENU, NO ALCOHOL, PAINFULLY FAR FROM UBUD, UNDER CONSTRUCTION, WHY GO TO INDONESIA FOR FAKE ENTITLEMENT THEY HAVE THAT WHERE YOU LIVE...

Serenity
It was just what I needed, some luxury downtime after long travel. Chill in the tub, by the pool and eat clean. I love that it’s an intimate place and the amount of space you get, and the sound of the river outside your villa. Only thing I was missing was resort activities complimentary. I do think it’s much to ask to book everything private as the hotel comes with a premium already. But the shuttle took me to ubud so really nothing to complain about. Love this place and will go back some day :)

If you are looking for a place away from the city and away from people this is the place to go. The staff was very friendly, room was always cleaned. They checked and cleaned the room at least twice a day.
All the food is either vegetarian or vegan, many people go to Bali looking for that type of food.
The only downfall to this hotel is that is about 25-30 minutes away from town. The most common transportation is a taxi to and from the hotel but if you are adventurous enough I recommend to rent a scooter from the center of town. It is cheaper and you can come and go as you please.

Good view, nature but...expensive and stomaches
the concepts is good “all about nature”. But because of the poor location, it is so hard to walk out after you chcek in. Therefore, we had to eat their expensive wholegrain meal with no any meat for breakfast lunch and dinner in our stay. After that, both me and my wife were dyspepsia. And the laundry service need to be improved as my shirt was broken. Also the wifi is poor. For the good side, the bed is soft and comfortable, bath is great and the view is amazing. Overall if you are thinking to be on diet and wants to taste nature, it is suit to you. Otherwise, you will suck.

Nice place but desolate
Five Elements resort is a beautiful getaway, but we weren't aware that this is a fully vegan hotel, non-smoking, non alcolhol, no fridge or tv in rooms. Besides that it takes 20-30 mins to get to Ubud and no other things you can do nearby as it's quite isolated. Hotel has a shutlle running 3x a day.
On the other hand, rooms are spotless, food is nice and well prepared, staff is very friendly.
Overall I think quite overrated with all things you have to miss out on on a holiday if you are not aware. We pre-booked, could not cancel and had to stay for a week.
