Considered one of the top budget hotels in Indonesia, the Tegal Sari is a complex of 27 rooms and villas located in Ubud near the Monkey Forest. The lovely tropical grounds are a highlight, and there are great views of the surrounding rice paddies. Rooms are simple but clean and have balconies, soaking tubs, air-conditioning, and minibars. There is a rooftop stone-bottom pool, and the poolside bar ensures cocktails are not far away. The two on-site restaurants and 24-hour room service provide reasonably priced menus, but many terrific Ubud restaurants are just outside the hotel. Spa services are available on-site, and the yoga room is a highlight. Be aware that the paths are rocky, and there are lots of stairs, which might pose a challenge to guests with limited mobility. A free 24-hour car service will take guests to and from town, and nearby sights. The Tegal Sari is popular and frequently sells out, so rooms, which can be reserved only through the hotel, often need to be booked at least six months in advance.

The 67-room Hotel Tjampuhan & Spa is an upscale, quiet, historic property with Balinese carved masonry and a location near the Ubud sights. The property offers two outdoor pools, a spa with a grotto, and on-site dining and cocktails. There is also currency exchange, 24-hour front desk service, and a business corner on-site. Traditional Balinese rooms -- including painter Walter Spies' former residence -- offer flat-screen TVs and balconies, overlooking the forest. However, rooms don’t have Wi-Fi and some also lack air-conditioning. The Puri Gangga Resort, with more in-room amenities, is another option.

Beji Ubud Resort is a mid-range vacation complex set in well-tended tropical gardens. There are five pools, three of which have infinity edges and excellent views of the jungle valley. Rooms are clean and modern and include some lovely traditionally styled Balinese huts, though units near the road can pick up traffic noise. While certainly far from the most impressive hotel of its kind, it provides good-value lodgings in pleasant tropical surrounds and is within easy reach of Ubud's attractions.

The 25-room Elephant Safari Park & Lodge is a luxury property that delivers a one-of-a-kind vacation on a refuge with 31 Sumatran elephants, safari rides, elephant chauffeur service, a show arena, a museum, a gift shop, and a botanical garden.

Suites feature whirlpool tubs and butler service. The gritty safari experience (which requires getting your hands dirty) isn’t for everyone, and the location is a bit removed from the sights, but it nonetheless delivers a luxurious stay with high-end amenities and features. Wi-Fi, breakfast, and parking are all free.

The upscale 14-villa Natura Resort and Spa is a quiet and traditionally designed property overlooking the unspoiled Petanu River valley, a location that’s a short drive from downtown Ubud. Along with its secluded vibe, the romantic resort offers two infinity pools, a hot tub, an open-air restaurant and bar, and a riverside spa. Simply decorated thatched-roof villas have outdoor soaking tubs, private terraces, and -- in some -- private plunge pools. The hotel offers candlelit poolside dinners, free high tea in the afternoon, and free Wi-Fi throughout. However, some villa furnishings are dated and worn. For more luxurious interior designs, guests could consider the Ayung Resort Ubud.

Green Field Hotel and Bungalows is a mid-range vacation resort popular with artistic and spiritually minded travelers set in tranquil gardens just south of Ubud. While many guests will relish the opportunity to enjoy the particularly picturesque surroundings without the distraction of TVs, the simplicity of the rooms might not be to everyone's taste. Features include two pools (including a saltwater pool) and a free breakfast of western and Indonesian fare. Overall, although some older rooms are in need of a revamp, the resort is a good option for those who want a quiet and affordable -- though not particularly luxurious -- home away from home in Ubud.

The four-pearl Tejaprana Resort & Spa is a charming boutique property consisting of 28 private villas set on lush grounds teeming with greenery. All of the spacious, stylish villas have private infinity plunge pools, lovely outdoor living spaces, and impressive bathrooms with walk-in rainfall showers and outdoor natural stone tubs.

The four-pearl Visesa Ubud Resort is a hidden gem owned by the royal family. The hotel's focus on elegance and natural surroundings mostly entices couples. The 106 suites and villas are well-sized and sophisticated with a mostly white color scheme accented by natural elements like wood and stone. Balconies look out to rain forests or the rice paddy field. The restaurant, gym, and spa also take advantage of the natural surroundings with open-air spaces -- but that brings mosquitos, bugs, and geckos. However, the creatures don’t seem to be a bother to most guests. Travelers seeking something more central to Ubud’s most popular attractions -- the hotel is a 28-minute walk from the Royal Palace -- could consider the Warwick Ibah Luxury Villas & Spa, but prices are higher.

De Munut Balinese Resort is a small three-pearl Balinese hotel that's a short walk from the cafes and restaurants in Penestanan village, and a 15-minute walk from central Ubud. This quaint hotel has plenty of local charm, and the look is a modern take on traditional Balinese style -- expect to see lots of stone, hardwood, and lush greenery. The 18 spacious rooms come with mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. Bathrooms feature outdoor showers. A restaurant, on-site spa, and two swimming pools set in a lush tropical courtyard round out the features, and a simple breakfast is included in room rates. The resort is not as upscale as the nearby Svarga Loka, which has more modern resort facilities but a higher price tag.
