There’s nothing quite like a lush Balinese pool setting 😍 That also did just make me think that maybe this property would be better- and make more sense- if it was actually in Ubud!
What a great report - thank you! A really interesting hotel and almost a gem! Keep up the good work - you've quickly become my favourite travel content creator - honest and informative and always about the topic (not the creator!).
I admire your obsession with cleanliness. While 99.9% of us may not be as fastidious, most of us do notice and get disappointed with the varying levels of cleanliness, but that's offset by varying levels of tolerance. But you are the high priest of hotel room cleanliness. I hereby bestow upon you the title of Mr. Clean Kevin.
Kevin, this place looks gorgeous but I agree the no dinner has to be mentioned beforehand! I chuckled when you mentioned you didn't care about Marvel as I am a big Marvel fan. Captain America, Iron Man, The Avengers, LOL.
I would love to know more about your fancy hotel picking algorithm and cleanliness tests. I always wonder how you are so detailed and full of info with the little things. I wish I heard the shower dust check trick earlier so I could've tested it at the Hilton Taipei Sinban yesterday, but too late now! 😂Guess I'll check my apartments' shower now just to see! Thanks for the great review!
I’m sure I will some day, but I’m simply not a fan of brands that have a blanket base price (i.e. no matter where they operate, a room will never be under $900 for example). If and when they change this practice or when I see one that I think might blow me away, I’d consider it. Thanks for watching 🩴

We found that the Como Uma Canggu to be amazing. The location of the main bar/restaurant/pool is perfect at dawn, noon and sunset, please review it for us?
Google 😂 actually the reason they’re translated better than most channels is because I upload my actual fully written script (in English) which UA-cam matches with the audio. Then the script is translated into around 60 languages I choose. Most channels that bother turning on subtitles just rely on the auto-captions that UA-cam will generate based on what it thinks is being said. A small word here and there that is wrong can easily throw off a full sentence in translations like this. Thanks for watching 🩴
That’s actually one of the resorts I canceled in order to visit La Reserve haha. I’ve booked and cancelled that Sofitel many times. On paper, it’s a good fit for the channel, but it just feels like it’s missing something. Not sure what… yet. Thanks for watching 🩴
I’ve been visiting Canggu for over 30 years and never heard of this French lady. I will ask my Balinese friends from Canggu if they know of her since they live not far from this hotel. Interested in researching about her. Nice hotel, bit flash for Canggu. 😊
If you think that’s flash, wait for the string of hotels coming to Canggu soon! The Regent being the flashiest of the flash! Haha. Thanks for watching 🩴
What a hidden gem this hotel, however I wont spend $400 for that room. I agree on your point about dinner availability in that hotel, they should spell it out to guests.
@@tfft Found them. Thank you. The KL videos are exciting. Do you plan on doing any in ocean/mountain areas of Malaysia, similar to your coverage of Bali?
Ridiculous charging supplement for those breakfast dishes. From a logic port of view, how does eggs Florentine cost more to make that what you ate? (Sourdough, with avocado and poached egg? 😂)
I do't know why you bothered with this place. Tangung Sari is on the (private) beach and has amazing food from their restaurant. The same type of rooms with plunge pools and exactly the same vibe.
@@tfft another great review Kevin, agreed that it appears on the pricey side but there is no logic in Bali pricing these days. The pool loungers seem to be oddly placed against the wall and very much in the shade?
Et voilà…we are back in business 🎉
Haha the joys of living in a developing country 😅 Thanks as always for your support 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I always look forward to your videos. This one certainly didn’t disappoint.
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching 🩴
That pool instantly took me back to the Como Uma Ubud ❤
There’s nothing quite like a lush Balinese pool setting 😍
That also did just make me think that maybe this property would be better- and make more sense- if it was actually in Ubud!
Always eagerly await your videos 😊
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
I've watched every one of your videos
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
My husband actually snorted, when he was walking out of the room, and heard the comment about the therapist saying to be nicer. Nicely done!
😂
I enjoyed alot and so much entertained 😂🎉🎉🎉 thanks Kevin!
Thanks very much 🙏🏻

Looks great. Good review.
You must have earned Indonesian citizenship by now, Kevin.
If only it was so easy in this part of the world lol.
Another wonderful review. I just re-watched the Como Uma Ubud one this morning. I wonder if the Canggu one is just as 'perfect.'
Once the Regent Canggu opens I’d love to make another trip up there and find out! Thanks for watching (again! Haha)🩴

Off to bali in 2 weeks and this is getting me in the mood 🌴 great review as always Kevin, it looked a charming property with lovely grounds.
Enjoy your trip! 🗺️

I simply don't have patients for movies haha. Thanks for watching 🩴
This was really enjoyable - you did find that needle in a haystack.

Both of which have related posts on my Patreon 😉 Thanks for watching 🩴
This was one of my favorite reviews and that's saying something 😂. The place really looks fantastic.
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Love your videos. Unless I missed it, I don’t think that you ever reviewed an Aman property. Any plans too? Thank you and keep the videos coming!

I'm waiting for the Regent Canggu to open, then I hope to make another trip up there and do both together. Thanks for watching 🩴
Who does your subtitles by the way? I put them on accidentally and the german is pretty much spot on.
Google 😂 actually the reason they’re translated better than most channels is because I upload my actual fully written script (in English) which UA-cam matches with the audio. Then the script is translated into around 60 languages I choose.

Do more boutique hotels please
I would do ALL boutique hotels if UA-cam changed the algorithm 😅 Thanks for watching 🩴
Next time you're at bali, you should check out Sofitel Nusa Dua, would really like your thoughts on it!
That’s actually one of the resorts I canceled in order to visit La Reserve haha. I’ve booked and cancelled that Sofitel many times. On paper, it’s a good fit for the channel, but it just feels like it’s missing something. Not sure what… yet. Thanks for watching 🩴

If you think that’s flash, wait for the string of hotels coming to Canggu soon! The Regent being the flashiest of the flash! Haha. Thanks for watching 🩴
@@tfft Sadly Canggu is changing. What originally drew people there ( the serenity of rice paddies and to escape Kuta) is disappearing.
What a hidden gem this hotel, however I wont spend $400 for that room. I agree on your point about dinner availability in that hotel, they should spell it out to guests.
Thanks for watching 🩴
Q: Do your published nightly rates include taxes+service+VAT, etc.?
Yes, it's the final inclusive (of whatever fees or taxes are unique to that location) price. Thanks for watching 🩴
Hi Kevin, have you done videos from Malaysia?
Yes, there are a few on the channel.
@@tfft Found them. Thank you. The KL videos are exciting. Do you plan on doing any in ocean/mountain areas of Malaysia, similar to your coverage of Bali?

Yes, exactly. Maybe their hollandaise was actually just liquid gold lol. Thanks for watching 🩴
When will your rajasthan videos will come?
Beginning next month.
I agree with you the word "beach" should be removed from the property title . Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching 🩴
Thank You ✈️

You need a wide-angle lens.
I use iPhones- surely I have a wider angle but the image quality is no where near the same, which is why I always choose a standard angle.
Please, just give me a real towel 😂.
😅
I do't know why you bothered with this place. Tangung Sari is on the (private) beach and has amazing food from their restaurant. The same type of rooms with plunge pools and exactly the same vibe.
You talk as if this was the Kuta Motel 6.
@@tfft Just Google the Tangung Sari and you will understand.
This hotel is polarising in many ways. Not able to fully get my head around it.
Thanks for watching 🩴
Sorry, not worth over 400usd
Also what I said lol. Thanks for watching 🩴
