October 2017:
Watch the dragon in the dungeon.
Mornings can be tricky here: warm welcome, easy selection of massage choice, filling out form, ok. I asked for 10 minutes to get ready. Got back in 5. Relaxed with welcome drink, found harmony in joyful — a dragon came along and ushered me to my cell, gave instructions, left. A great hot stone massage followed. Stone rumbling, eventually the sound of running water, and incomprehensible instructions pulled me out of the attained deep balance, brought me through a shower, and left me standing in a stone garden. Someone came along, greeted briefly, and left… Found my way back to the entrance, saw a teacup, a smile from the reception, sat down, drunk a bit tea, searched for my wallet, asked if I can settle with credit card. Sure! Dragon came back, gave instructions, wanted to involve me in a silly conversation, PIN required, approved. And I was given the slip, with a bow. The number was different than agreed. Why? Because of tax, the dragon shot back. Credit card fees? Yes. I left relaxed and pissed off at the same time. My first. And wondered: 2.5%? Without saying so before I approve a blank screen, full of trust? And my poor therapist was left without a tip. So sorry about that, she did really well.

A nice and cheap spa in Ubud.

Great massage, lovely people
Overpriced. Basic service with not too many differences from the crowd of other spas nearby.
