Alassari Plantation

We visited Alas Sari as part of a yoga retreat. We were a group of 12 and used all eight of the guest villas. Each villa has its own personality and unique view of the tropical forest. The bathrooms are open air with a wonderful shower and amenities. All the beds had comfortable mattresses and pillows and were surrounded by mosquito netting. All the rooms have ceiling fans for circulation. There are lots of stairs on the property The meals were amazing including breakfast selected from a menu and family style lunches and dinners. All the staff was so friendly and helpful. We conducted our yoga classes in the studio above the spa. Again, all open-air and surrounded by tropical lushness. Since you are in the open, you will experience critters of the wild; birds, squirrels, geckos and flying insects. When the owners arrived in 2010, there was no real development and they created the pathways, planted the trees, built the structures and hired a fantastic staff.

This place far exceeded my expectations and I wish I could have stayed longer. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left I was treated like family. The staff greeted me with fresh juice and an offer to make me dinner. The next morning Valorie(one of the owners) facetimed me and made sure everything was good and generously offered me a massage. I loved every part of my experience. The Villa was gorgeous and spacious. I loved sitting on my deck every morning watching and listening to the world wake up. The grounds are gorgeous. So many trails to explore. They arranged for a driver who took me to explore the rice field, a temple, and a waterfall. He shared their traditions and culture. The staff are so pleasant and always available to help any way they can. The food was delicious and many options. I felt pampered and peaceful and I appreciate that so much. I can't wait to plan another trip and have told all my friends and family about this plantation. Thank you for helping me recoup and rejuvenate my spirit. You will all hold a special place in my heart.

Well, we had the entire place to ourselves during a lucky break in this rain forest resort’s schedule as it readied for a big upcoming wedding. We stayed in the treehouse and enjoyed the eerie but wonderful feeling of being totally all alone in the jungle — the rain forest — at night. Wonderful. But even if other guests had been pleasant, we would not have seen or heard much of them, as the villas are spread out and the rich forest hides them. There is a lovely pool. The kitchen is good. We took a cooking class (we made cap çay) and I’m so glad we did) and we enjoyed the local hike. This place is remote so allow yourselves plenty of time to get here and hang on to your seats as the last couple of miles are bumpy. But totally worth it. Hi Yani!

Arrival to departure was top notch. Our suite was spacious, comfortable and beautiful. A true haven in rainforest setting with cooler temperatures than the coast.. Private and with everything we needed. Areas for lounging on the shady deck and a big comfy couch indoors. Staff were polite, friendly and efficient at every point with a special mention of Budi, our guide for rainforest walk. He explained lots of details about the forest and was a cheerful and engaging guide. The restaurant served a delicious breakfast. In fact we had all our meals in the restaurant and although the property was very quiet the food was great. Lots of fresh veg and salads. Our stay was everything we hoped for in a mountain getaway and we would love to come back sometime...maybe for a longer stay. Bonus was quality shampoo, bath gel etc supplied. Also luxury bedding and pillows - so comfy.

Enchanting, most serene beautiful surroundings and staff were Georgous x From when we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The massages and trea**ents were outstanding! The food was delicious and a great range. I loved the vegetarian they also have meat dishes! Nothing was to much !

Magnifique endroit, bien entretenu et féerique au milieu de la jungle et des rizières… la villa 2 chambres est très bien décorée et la vue de la terrasse est à couper le souffle… Les hôtes australiens sont très sympathiques et arrangeants, avec possibilité d excursions avec un guide très sympa et un chauffeur pour se rendre dans sa prochaine destination… tout était parfait !! Je recommande à ceux qui veulent un peu sortir des sentiers battus et vivre une expérience inoubliable.
