Frommer's Review
The Four Seasons here is a masterpiece of planning that takes full advantage of its extraordinary setting right on the River Ayung. It's incredibly posh, though not intimidatingly so. You enter across a long bridge leading to a lily pond that, almost unbelievably, rests atop the lobby, all in an immense crater of rice terraces. The design throughout is ultramodern, but with references to Balinese tradition. Guests stay in two-story suites (bedroom below the sitting area), deluxe suites, or high-end villas with private plunge pools. Interiors are done in gleaming woods and natural fabrics, highlighted by precious local art and artifacts. Every room has views of the deep-green gorge and/or the river. Expect luxurious bathrooms with huge tubs, showers, and dressing areas, and more plush towels than a linen shop. The two-level horizon pool follows the serpentine shape of the river below. Pampering, of course, is at a maximum and includes "seamless" transfer between here and the Four Seasons at Jimbaran Bay; the staff takes care of everything -- including, if you wish, your packing. There is also regular shuttle service to Ubud.
