I came a first time for a hair treatment. I really enjoyed the treatment itself but as you receive it in the same place of the reception, it's very noisy. The therapists talk to each other very loudly, without even try to whisper. It's like you are not here. Even your therapist, while she is doing the treatment on you listen, laugh and participate to their conversation. You feel like you shouldn't be here. It's really unpleasant to feel that she is not focus on you and all the noice and talk around you are not relaxing. I came a second time to give one more chance because I liked the treatment and the result on my hair.
Same experience with the noice but this time the treatment was not very good, it was not the same therapist, the massage was poor, she was focusing on what was happening outside or conversation and I left with very oily hair, I had to wash them again when I arrived home. (The first time my hair were perfect)
I complain about the noice, share that I didn't enjoy and relax at all because of that, that they should do the treatment somewhere else or at least whisper when they have client. They didn't care at all, they didn't offer any compensation. Seems that they don't really care about their client.
I left angry and disappointed.
I can't praise this place enough! I had the most amazing facial here nearly 2 weeks ago, with a very competent lady, who's name I unfortunately don't remember. The whole procedure was great from start til the end including both the facial itself and the massage that was given while the mask was working. The benches/beds were very comfortable and the surroundings pretty with the beautiful Bali flora right at your feet. My skin still feels softer and "satisfied" here two weeks after.
I also had a really great experience with the Hair treatment! Again... my hair still feels softer and nourished here two weeks after. The use of products straight from the garden really satisfied me.
I didn't have a massage here myself, but my husband did, and he said it was the best he had during our stay in Bali.
I am really sad that I didn't try this place until my last day in Ubud! If I ever come back I will probably only have my treatments/pampering at Cantika Zest.
If you want a Awesome massage, this is the place to go. The prices are very reasonable it's like 12 US dollars for an hour. The setting is also amazing with foliage all around you, water flowing in the background and so peaceful with the sound of trawling music 🎶
This is a must! Right next to our hotel room Sungu Resort and Spa. You take a path down through the rice patties and you end up in cantika. AWESOME!
Was recommended this spa by a friend we met while travelling around Ubud. Turned out to be a 2 min walk from the next villa we'd be staying at so we had to go. She was not wrong in her recommendation. The 1 hour Ancient Balinese massage was absolutely amazing. There was so much more detail and attention paid than any of the other massages we had while in Bali and we had quite a few. The spa is a little rough around the edges on entry but all the facilities once inside are lovely, with a gorgeous outlook and plenty of relaxing spots to have a number of different treatments. The service was friendly and we had a soothing ginger tea at the end of our massage. The other great thing about this place is the amazing all natural products that the owner has been crafting for many years. I grabbed quite a selection and love them all. Especially the coconut lip balm! Smells so good and is so effective. Definitely want to head back to Ubud and try a few more treatments here.
Spent my last morning in Ubud at the Cantika Alami spa that is on the way to Sari Organic cafe.
They remembered me from 2 years ago as a regular customer and managed to find space for me. A facial - divine, using the natural flower and plant products specially created by Ibu Jasi, the owner. Deeply relaxing and the skin so smooth and glowing after. Then for a massage, always perfect and the staff trained so well. Every massage at Cantika is reliably professional, gracious, restorative, relaxing. And a boreh body scrub, and then a soak in a flower bath.
Why not have a massage and facial every day while in Ubud. They are that good
Cantika Zest is located in Penestenan, a short drive away from the centre of Ubud. The 1 hour massages are definitely the best I have had anywhere in Asia (and I have had many).
The women are incredible, the location is beautiful and the entire spa experience is perfect. The price of 150,000 Rupiah (plus tax) is also extremely good value for money.
I have also had manicures, pedicures and facials there and they were all wonderful.
There is not a single thing I could say to fault this spa.
