I have since spoken to my travel agent and she too thought that they had fridges and fans in the rooms. It does state that they do in the brochure.
Becuase you are going in the wet season, I have heard it gets more hot and humid, so I would make sure that you get your travel agent to ring Ananda and get a guarantee that there will be a fan and fridge in your room.
There were no tea making facilities at all, my room was just like a little cottage, with nice bed and ok bathroom. The other thing that I found difficult is that there are no glassed in windows, so when you leave your room you must close up the thick wooden shutters and this darkens the room the black and makes it very hot when you return. Ananda does have wonderful rice paddie views, but I have heard that most of the hotels in Ubud have great views also.
Anway, maybe talk this through with your travel agent.
