I met Resort's Leisure Guide

On my walk through the riverside garden, I met this gentleman called Arif. He is one of Maya Ubud Leisure Centre Team. He greeted me with warm smile, and said good afternoon. Then we had a chat

Me : What are you doing here Arif?

Arif : I am expecting a group of people that has a meeting program at Maya Ubud. They will be here very soon.

Me : What do you bring in that basket?

Arif : This is special blended tonic drink to be given to the group as the walk through the garden. It is part of their retreat program.

Me : Is that a kind of Jamu?

Arif : Yes, it is similar to Jamu, but we have our own blending.

Me : What are the group doing at Maya Ubud?

Arif : They have a retreat meeting program for 3 days.

Me : Why do they choose Maya Ubud?

Arif : One of the reason I think is because of our location, the other reason is because of the facilities and the commitment that we are able to accommodate their expectation.

Me : Apart from the nature walk exercise what else are they doing?

Arif : Their main program is the meeting, it combined with thematic lunches/dinners as well as coffee breaks. They are also do Yoga session to start the day morning and welcoming dinner with cultural show.

Me : It seems to be a very interesting program. Do you have many group come and use your facilities?

Arif : Yes, we have some national and international corporations come here for their meeting such as : L'oreal Paris, Nestle, Volvo, Nissan, Bayer, Adidas, Ford, UNDP, UBS, Cisco and many more.

Me : Wonderful ! I should go know, I see the group is approaching us. Thank you for your time Arif.

Arif : It's my pleasure, have a wonderful day !


What an nice conversation I had with Arif. It's interesting to know what the resort could offer for their meeting clients. It is so much different that the ussual one. I am sure client will enjoy different experience the resort could provide.
