Location
Nestled in the serene hills just outside of Ubud, Tanah Merah Art Resort by AGATA offers guests a unique escape immersed in breathtaking natural beauty. Surrounded by lush forests and boasting a 'private' waterfall, this resort is the epitome of tranquility. Guests are consistently enamored with the peaceful, secluded nature of the setting, where the sounds of the tropical forest and river provide a soothing backdrop.

The location affords spectacular views of the jungle and is complemented by the resort’s stunning gardens, infinity pools and traditional Balinese architecture. Accessibility to these natural wonders and the resort’s overall setting contribute to what many describe as a magical experience.

Although a short drive from the bustling center of Ubud, the resort's remote positioning ensures a relaxed atmosphere free from the typical tourist traffic. This seclusion is often cited as both a benefit and a minor inconvenience with some noting the absence of nearby shops and restaurants. However, the tranquil, quiet environment and proximity to natural attractions more than compensate for this slight drawback.

The friendly and accommodating staff enhance the overall guest experience, making Tanah Merah Art Resort by AGATA a standout choice for those looking to immerse themselves in the authentic Ubud ambiance. Whether it’s the awe-inspiring views, the serene jungle setting or the artfully designed gardens, the exceptional location of this resort leaves a lasting impression on its visitors.

Breakfast
Located amidst serene natural beauty, the Tanah Merah Art Resort by AGATA offers a breakfast experience that receives mixed reviews from guests. On the positive side, many guests enjoyed the stunning views of the jungle while having their breakfast, which some described as delicious and extensive. The staff at the breakfast facility are often highlighted for their friendliness and attentiveness, contributing to an overall pleasant dining atmosphere.

However, the breakfast menu is frequently criticized for its limitations. The à la carte offerings are noted as modest with a fixed menu that lacks variety and substantial portions. Some guests felt that the breakfast could benefit from being a buffet, allowing for more diverse and satisfying options. A few reviewers also pointed out issues with food quality and portion sizes, making the breakfast less fulfilling compared to other places in Bali.

Overall, while the setting and service at breakfast are appreciated, the menu's limitations and quality inconsistencies suggest room for improvement.

Dinner
Tanah Merah Art Resort by AGATA offers a range of dining experiences that have elicited a spectrum of guest feedback. While many visitors have praised the amazing and tasty dishes, particularly enjoying meals at the sky bar and appreciating the fantastic views of the canopy during lunch or dinner, others have found the food to be quite average with small portions. There are differing opinions about the menu, which includes both traditional Indonesian and Western options with some guests noting a lack of variety and flavor.

The predominant concern seems to be the pricing. Numerous guests highlighted that the restaurant is extremely expensive, even when compared to luxury dining options outside the resort. Prices are listed in USD with dishes typically ranging around $10 to $15, which is considered very steep for the region. While some guests felt the service was friendly and super helpful, others felt the quality of food did not justify the high cost.

One notable advantage is that the resort staff can accommodate late orders with a good quality, such as a well-prepared pizza with fresh ingredients. Despite the diverse opinions on food quality, it is clear that without many nearby dining alternatives, guests often find themselves eating on-site, which can be pricy. Renting a motorcycle to explore Ubud for more varied and reasonably priced dining options is a common solution among guests.

Rooms
At Tanah Merah Art Resort by AGATA, the guest rooms are varied in both style and upkeep, leading to a mixture of experiences. Many visitors appreciated the spaciousness and comfort of the rooms, which often feature a unique and artistic decor reminiscent of travel through Colombia. The villas and Timor cottage were particularly noted for their beauty and comfort, boasting well-functioning air conditioning and clean bathrooms.

However, several reviews highlighted issues with the overall condition and maintenance of standard rooms. Common complaints included peeling paint, damp and dirty bathrooms, outdated furniture and persistent unpleasant odors. The cleanliness, while generally good, was inconsistent with some guests encountering dirty bed linens and unclean bathroom facilities.

Despite these shortcomings, the resort's staff received praise for their friendliness and willingness to address concerns, often relocating guests to more satisfactory accommodations when needed. The resort's picturesque location, set amidst nature with stunning views of the forest and waterfall, added a significant charm to the experience, offsetting some of the negatives associated with room conditions.

In summary, while the Tanah Merah Art Resort by AGATA offers large, uniquely decorated rooms with beautiful views, there is a clear need for maintenance and upgrades to meet guest expectations consistently.

Beds
Tanah Merah Art Resort by AGATA seems to evoke mixed feelings regarding its beds. While some guests praised the beds as very comfortable, others encountered various issues. There were mentions of soft and thin pillows, which did not meet everyone's comfort preferences. Unfortunately, some guests experienced problems such as mildew on mattresses and even live insects, which raised cleanliness concerns. Additionally, the maintenance of the beds seemed to be an issue with a lack of attention to bed sheets and covers. The situation was further complicated with some single beds being pushed together and sliding apart and some beds being too small relative to the room's size. Overall, despite the positive remarks about bed comfort from some, the overall feedback suggests inconsistencies in bed quality and maintenance.

The staff also received commendations for ensuring that everything was perfect during their stay.

However, numerous critics pointed out significant cleanliness issues. Concerns included improperly cleaned cups, stained towels and lack of proper bathroom ventilation, which resulted in a consistently unpleasant atmosphere. Some guests found cobwebs, dusty tapestries and pests such as cockroaches and ants in their rooms. The state of the pools was also an issue with reports of dirty water, cigarette butts and other debris. The hotel's overall condition was described as old and worn out with dated decor and underwhelming maintenance.

Specific complaints about the cleanliness of the toilets and overall hygiene raised expectations for improvements. Issues such as dirty bedding, damp conditions, strong odors from unventilated bathrooms and uncleaned bathrooms from the day of arrival marred the experience for several guests. Many noted that despite initial impressions of cleanliness, the resort did not meet their expectations upon closer inspection.
