Alam Shanti- you picked the right place to stay for a first timer! So beautiful, lovely staff, peaceful, massive suites, divine! enjoy!
Very close walk to Monkey Forest and up to Ubud proper (or get the free Alam Shanti driver to take you). Their own spa- Alam Wangi- is excellent and they do a wonderful massage approx US$18/hour, also good packages. A cheaper spa in Ubud is the Venezia, not bad; turn right after walking through Monkey Forest from Alam Shanti, spa on left side. I know you didn't mention food but here's a couple of suggestions for Ubud: we love Cinta, 1/2 way up monkey forest road, beautiful food and great 2 for 1 mojitos every night. Also Indus, (lovely views), Terazo, Three Monkeys. Have a great trip!
