Manggis hotellia

Plussat: The staff were very nice and helpful and greeted us by name. The pool was amazing yet the hottub was broken as of 26th December. I wonder how long till it will be fixed as advertised. They had a nice craft beer selection and the view from the room was amazing.

Miinukset: The restaurant was swarming with flies. The breakfast buffet was never covered so the fruit and sandwiches had many flies on them, we came down at 9 and their wasnt much left kept having to ask for things. But dissapointed that for a 4 star it was thin on amenities. The tv only had 2 English channels. The room was massive but a large section of it was dead space we didnt even use and i feel we paid for that whereas a cheaper room would have been the same. The pool was nice but it is a magnet for ants and the fisherman outside are as annoying as other reviews said. I feel this was a 3 star hotel with 4 star prices to stay.

Plussat: Everything about the hotel was lovely. It was a small hotel but well built, well spaced and complete. all rooms have sea view. Ours was ground floor right in front of a beautiful garden and overlooking the sea. We can hear waves sound from our room and the view was breath taking. Sunset was great too. there was a small hotel restaurant overlooking the beach. Peaceful. Fishermen came to the shore with their catch. The spa massage was lovely. The food and massage were well priced. even though its a beachfront the beach is not for swimming nor sun bathing. its full with boats and the water was deep. You can rent the boat for snorkelling though at nearby island or near the bay or nearby beaches: blue lagoon, bias tugel, japanese bay or nearby

Miinukset: The fact that it has beachfront but not usable is quite frustrating but its okay. The overall location is quite a minus. The hotel is great but the town is small and it is located in a village. so nothing much to do around the area. its perfect for 3 days 2 nights stay where you stayed for visiting East Bali attraction, get a massage and do snorkelling. Longer than that, it will be boring. The hotel does not give much for toiletries (no sanitary bag and only 1 toilet roll) from Kuta it took 2 hours drive costing around IDR 450,000.

Miinukset: the location is very far from the airport . 2 hours by car .. after arriving to bali it was a little exhausting to have a 2 hour trip to arrive. the location is very far from the center. but it is a very good place to relax .. be far from the city and just rest. the food in the hotel restaurant is very nice also and the people very friendly.

Plussat: Beautiful location overlooking the ocean. Great staff that were quick to assist if needed. Breakfast was good with a few choices.

Miinukset: Our room was old and smelly. We moved rooms as our first one smelt like cat wee. The second room was ok and had been slightly renovated but still in need of more work. It was very clean though.

Plussat: The view from the room is fantastic!

Plussat: Sängystä ja parvekkeelta ihanat näkymät merelle. Pihapiiri kaunis ja allasalueella aurinkotuoleja.

Miinukset: Hotellin lähistöllä ei ole varsinaisesti mitään tekemistä, joten aika voi tulla pitkäksi jos ei lähde taksilla katselemaan paikkoja tai vain oleile.

Plussat: The perfect setting for a perfect stay in Bali..Breakfast very good, staff attentive ..fabulous

Miinukset: Nothing to report

Plussat: The location is perfect with amazing views. The food was good and it was clean. Very friendly staff.

Miinukset: No biggy but they advertised you could borrow snorkling gear but they didn't have a lot. Not their fault though as other guests didn't bring back when supposed to

Plussat: Beautiful property. Staff is friendly and wonderful. Great restaurants.

Miinukset: I stayed there twice in a three week period. For some reason, it was more expensive for the same room the second time I stayed there. Still loved it.

Plussat: Great private beach and pools.

Plussat: Very good food and choice of 3 restaurants (Western, Indonesian, Italian) Very nice and helpful personnel. Very calm and clean place with (finally!) perfect sea with full depth swimming. Near the right beach side there is coral perfect for snorkeling!

Miinukset: Rooms little bit small but we took standart bungalow, maybe more expensive ones are bigger.

Plussat: Snorkeling from beach...

Miinukset: Not much to do at night...

Plussat: Spacious and modern bath. Hotel arranged activities (Morning Yoga and trekking) Semi private beach. Very clean swimming pools and nice ocean view from the top deck. Dive center on site.

Miinukset: The villa room is rather small. Breakfast selection is a limited

Plussat: 4 night stay - was excellent. Would stay again. Thank you. Comfy bed - good bathroom (little smallish with basin behind the bathroom door which made a little awkward for 2 ppl to use bathroom as same time.

Plussat: The staff are amazing!

Miinukset: The meetings held around where guests swim, read and relax.

Plussat: Lovely pool with swim up bar and helpful staff. Great spot for watching the sunset on comfy beanbags with a cocktail. Room was spacious and had a great shower! Delicious made to order omelette for breakfast.

Miinukset: Not a huge hot breakfast selection for veggies (I prefer savoury to sweet stuff the morning) but the egg station was great. One night there was a private event on at sunset so instead of the ambient modern house beats that complimented the sunset vibe we had a crooning performance of soppy 80s and 90s ballads which was a bit off-putting. Could do with a few more sunbeds on the beach.

Plussat: Location, food, room. Staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very quiet as we had a poolside room. Staff were very accommodating and helped whenever they could. Beach is lovely and nice sunsets. Loved that we could walk out to the little pergola and watch the sunset.

Miinukset: Restaurant was a little slow delivering our food

Plussat: Lovely location on the beach. Hard to swim as the beach is crushed coral, but beautiful to walk out on their jetty. Excellent food in their Lezat restaurant, very attentive service. Also Bali dancing on Tuesdays.

Plussat: As we woke up one morning and rapidly decided to change our itinerary, we rushed into booking out stay in the Ashyana Candidasa Resort. It seemed lovely from the photos, and it had good reviews so we proceeded with our last minute booking as we needed accommodation for that same night. At our arrival, everything was far beyond our expectations. The receptionists welcomed us with the most warming smiles and accompanied us, to our surprise, to our sea view room. Just in front of our room was the lovely hotel restaurant overlooking the ocean and a staircase that lead to the beach. As we went down the staircase, we walked on dunes of washed up coral. Our eyes were filled with a purple tinted ocean, a long stretch of beach and palm trees and a candle lit footbridge that stretched out into the sea, while a traditional Jukung was being gently rocked by the waves. After supper, we fell asleep to the sound of the waves, wishing we had more time there.

Plussat: The location of the room with the view of the pool and the ocean.

Miinukset: The bathroom needed some renovations.

Plussat: The restaurant on site is one of our favourites in Bali. The rooms were well appointed and clean and they are right on the beach so just a quick walk down the stairs and your there. Boats for hire in front of the hotel also.

Plussat: The quietness of the surroundings & the service. The staffs would go the extra miles to make your stay comfortable.

Miinukset: I wish the room had bath tub & more variety of food in the restaurant would be nice.

Plussat: Loved this place. Very quiet and relaxing

Plussat: We loved our stay at Alila Manggis - it's quiet, secluded, and tucked away from the action of Bali. The grounds are impeccable and we enjoyed free yoga everyday overlooking the ocean! The spa and the daily afternoon tea were also amazing!

Miinukset: We found the menu a bit difficult for a vegan diet (specifically the breakfast), but were able to make it work. Overall though the food was delicious, particularly the lunch available at the oceanfront bar.

Plussat: Amazing place. Attentive staff. Restaurant super super amazing. Water services like fishing very expensive compared to local prices

Miinukset: Property in the middle of nowhere

Plussat: Lovely staff who were always willing to help, delicious complimentary breakfast, lots of nice spots to lie down and take in the beautiful views, fun activities such as snorkelling and trekking

Miinukset: But of a smell in the shower when you first get the water running (minor thing).

Miinukset: Not enough shade at the pool-bigger umbrellas needed A gym would be nice....

Plussat: Excellent breakfast, stunning location, quiet and so peaceful. It has been my favorite place of stay since 2005.

Plussat: Great service and lovely staff, beautiful location and lovely breakfast

Miinukset: Very very damp. Mould growing on my things after a few days... very disappointing

Plussat: The location in the middle of the jungle which is giving you a complete relaxation feeling - also the sound of the waves of the ocean are superb! The breakfast in the Biriu restaurant is also fantastic and you don’t need more to start your day. The villa has all the needs And requirements that you need to spend a great holiday! Bathroom and pool are extremely splendid, especially the inside and outside jacuzzi... also the special afternoon and evening service of the vip service is very nice and much appreciated!

Miinukset: The prices of the food are much higher (because of the 21% tax surcharge) in comparisation with the neighborhood food locations and in other hotels in Bali from the same star quality. Give more coffee patch or at least from each type 1 for every person - but the coffee service at 16h is making a lot good!

Plussat: The views and the hospitality

Miinukset: A bit far from restaurants

Plussat: The beauty of this resort and landscape is something taken out of a beautiful dream. The room was beautifully decorated... with an amazing view to the sea and pool. I would rate the highest score to the room, spotless, comfortable, absolutely gorgeous. All the details made our stay unforgettable. The staff was amazing, extremely kind and helpful, always with a smile in their faces.

Miinukset: I liked it all.

Plussat: I liked the location of the hotel, you feel like you are in the jungle and at the same time on the beach, plus the receptionist, she took her time explaining all the facilities and the amenities in the hotel

Miinukset: The main problem was the bathroom! It was very dirty, i asked twice the housekeeper to clean it! One time he cleaned it used the brush, it was discusting, and to continue it was still dirty, the toilet seat was soo dirty, that it hasn’t been cleaned maybe for 2 years

Plussat: The view from my balcony and bathtub was wonderful.

Miinukset: The property is far away from the tourist areas. But in the other hand it is good for get away.

Plussat: Everything was perfect, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to spoil themselves to a lovely resort with a relaxing quiet ambiance with the sound of waves as your background noise. The food is also good and the facility is impressive with gorgeous gardens. I loved the free drinking water refill station at reception. Cheap Warungs just steps from the hotel if you want to venture out.

Miinukset: I didn't like the sandy area in front of the bar it looked messy. I think this area could be improved.

Plussat: Loved the view of the sea from the rooms with the jacuzzi in the verandah. Great infinity pool. Was amazing to be able to swim in safe clean waters as the hotel beach was kept clean.

Miinukset: Coffee didn't have fresh milk. Generally the food was not of a high standard and we went out of the hotel to eat authentic Balinese food.

Plussat: Great place very clean great staff love them all , from airport driver and reception absolutely great Our driver Indah special thanks

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The breakfast was fine. The bathroom was really nice with an open air shower. The staff are generally very friendly and happy to help.

Miinukset: The key to the villa had to be changed twice in one day. We were very accommodating to the staff and contractors achanged the locks but when it came to pay for the accommodation the reception asked us to pay 200,000 rupiah for a key that was broken in the lock. We stated we did not purposely break the key but rather it was the result of a poor lock. The staff didn't seem to understand that in such circumstances it should not be the customer who paid for the maintenance and upkeep of the place.

Plussat: From the moment my family and I arrived at Bali Santi Bungalows I knew we were going to have a great time! Upon arrival, we were upgraded from the family garden view room to the 3 Bedroom Villa. My gosh! This villa was just gorgeous, with our own private pool. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and I liked the outdoor bathrooms. Very close to restaurants and situated right on the beach. The staff were just beautiful people and were there to help whenever needed. I would just like to say thankyou, and we would highly recommend a stay at Bali Santi Bungalows.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Pool was great. Small but sufficient. Breakfast area next to the pool was great as the it catches the morning sunlight. Breakfast was nice for the price. Room and bathroom was spacious.

Plussat: I had a great time in there. The place is just amazing. Highly recommended! :)

Plussat: Hotellialue ja huone siisti.

Miinukset: Suppea aamiainen. Ravintola kivalla paikalla, mutta ruoka ei erityisen hyvää ja vähän kallista suhteessa muuhun hintatasoon.

Plussat: On the whole a lovely Balinese influenced small resort with friendly, helpful eager to please staff. Our second room was spacious and clean with a peep of sea view and gorgeous frangipani trees from the deck. Nice small contained complex away from the tourist hot spots but plenty accessible by cab. Nice touches with daily flower arrangements and incense offerings. Great breakfast and hotel meals. The beauty spa was fabulous had a wonderful massage! Lovely reception staff who helped us organise several tours and snorkelling trips.

Miinukset: Very dark long alley (street?) leading up to hotel. Bit scary walking back from Candidasa after eating out. Bali is dark by 6.30 - definitely needs lighting for tourists!!! First room wasn’t great for the money paid. Smelled mouldy and was dark being on the ground floor in the corner. But hotel very quickly moved us to a bigger brighter room upstairs. Beach is dangerous and totally unswimmable. We chose this property as was beach front. The pool was lovely but wanted an accessible beach for us all too. Hotel was clearly stunning in its day, but can see areas def in need of a tickle up. We were there for 6 days and the hotel evening menu didn’t change, so we ate out in Candidasa some nights. Would love to see Balinese suckling pig on the menu!!!

Plussat: The staff was absolutely fantastic. These people were really nice. I felt like I was home in this hotel.

Miinukset: More than 10km to the good sand beach. If you're ok to stay in this hotel near the pool then it's ok. If you want a beach, you'd better choose another hotel because it's very far to the beach. You have to take a taxi and they charge quite a lot for only 10km distance.

Plussat: A totally relaxing hotel. The staff were familiar and friendly but not intrusive. They made me feel special

Miinukset: I would struggle to find something I didn’t like. If pushed I would just say that they should have more water stations to cut down on bottles of water. We needed to go to the gym each time to refill our reusable bottles

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive.

Plussat: Staff hospitality was amazing! Great restaurant location, good rooms

Plussat: Good ambience

Miinukset: Quite old

Plussat: A room at the Water Garden is a like having your own little piece of paradise. The rooms are very secluded and peacefully with a lovely seating area at the front overlooking the ponds. The bathrooms are updated and well appointed. Rooms are cleaned thoroughly each day. The pool area is lush and the pool was great! Staff were wonderful and friendly. The spa staff are excellent and services are very well priced. The restaurant served very good food but was a little pricey.

Plussat: Water Garden is such a unique hotel - it's hard to describe just how lovely and tranquil the room views over the ponds are. The massages as well were reasonably priced and good quality. Pool was great too. Everything was very clean and the service was friendly and very good. Would definitely stay there again.

Plussat: Nice apartments, very cozy, private and calm space, excellen room service.

Miinukset: Only breakfast included was american breakfast - in place with such a standard, this shouldn't have place. After 5 days I couldn't even look at more eggs. Drivere organized by hotel did not speak english - it was rather poor experience, I don't recommend to buy any tours from the hotel

Plussat: * Beautiful setting with garden surroundings, a fish pond and water feature which made it very relaxing. * You couldn't hear the road even though the reception was on the main road. * Lovely room, comfortable bed * Close to restaurants, shops and the (stoney) beach * Evening meals are delicious at the restaurant * Staff where lovely and helped with everything we needed and more.

Miinukset: * There were the odd ants here and there but soon disappeared. * Breakfast was just ok, sometimes dry.

Plussat: Really nice staff in the hotel and restaurant. Really good food available, lots of local and international choices, good quality and reasonably priced. Grounds of the hotel were lovely, lots of ponds with water lilies and koi carp. Very beautifully arranged. It's a good location in Candidasa. It's clean, well appointed and exactly what is advertised.

Miinukset: Rooms were dark, from being set back in vegetation, and the lights inside weren't bright enough. It's a little tired, (threadbare cushion covers, broken crockery), but for the budget it's more than fine. Breakfast is limited; American breakfast is the standard, and ordering a vegetarian version (i.e. exactly the same but without the sausage and bacon) cost more!?

Plussat: Beautiful garden and hotel with cozy bungalows looking at the fish pond. Nice staff, restaurant and spa.

Miinukset: The breakfast included was only american, so you have to pay ekstra for other options

Plussat: Blissful and surprising. On check in we were upgraded to a suite. The staff were incredible. The ladies at the spa were amazing. Never been so blissed out

Plussat: That you just felt so relaxed and where able to chill

Plussat: The staff the room and lovely food and the beautiful gardens.

Miinukset: Nothing we liked everything.

Plussat: Always lovely to stay here

Plussat: Very nice hotel about a 800m walk to restaurants. The staff are amazing. You can do yoga, have massages, water sports easily arranged through hotel. If you want the opposite of Kuta and a true Bali experience this is the place to start. Breakfast is simple but extremely healthy and delicious. The gardens absolutely spectacular and beach is walking distance. We look forward to returning to villarossa

Miinukset: Room 101 was lovely the only thing we didn’t like was the outside toilet. No one can see you but it’s outside & hot during day & mozzies at night. Would stay in another room.

Plussat: Good size villa very clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast and lovely pool and surroundings.

Miinukset: The hotel is located along a lane way with no direct access to the beach however it does have a lovely pool. It may be a bit intimidating at night for some however most eating places offer free pickup and drop off and we certainly were never scared The locals are very friendly and helpful along the way. Candidasa has a lot of excellent eating options within a very short distance of Villa Rossa.

Plussat: Service war wirklich in Ordnung und hilfsbereit. Seltsam war allerdings, dass das Personal, nachdem das Zimmer sauber gemacht wurde, später noch mal jemand im Zimmer war, das Licht angeschaltet, das Bett aufgeschlagen und die Minibar kontrolliert hat. Habe ich so noch nicht erlebt. Das Hotel an sich, ist ganz schnuckelig und gepflegt. Candidasa ist gut gelegen für Tagesausflüge ins Landesinnere, wofür ein Roller, Taxi oder ein Auto nötig sind.

Miinukset: Der "Strand" in der Nähe des Hotels, ist super dreckig, bei Ebbe eine reine Müllhalde und zum schwimmen nicht zu empfehlen. Wer an einem weißen Sandstrand schwimmen gehen möchte, muss sich mit einem Boot dort hinbringen lassen.

Plussat: - the pool - the garden - personnel - room

Miinukset: - breakfast: it was ok but it had been served for too long and it always wasn’t enough for all the guests

Plussat: A lovely little resort tucked away down a little lane, However walking distance to Candidasa village. The rooms were clean & spacious. A nice pool surrounded by garden, the food was good & staff friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights and visited the water Temple & Heaven Gate from there - we enjoyed our stay!

Miinukset: I liked everything :)

Plussat: Breakfast menu had lots of choices and service was immediate ! Nice sunny location in morning at the restaurant . Only thing missing with property location was an oceanview but only about 100m away .

Plussat: Lovely food,the grounds were so neat and tidy.s

Plussat: Room is very spacious with a balcony. Bathroom was huge and the Wifi signal was good even in the bathroom. The staff were helpful and friendly. Pool available to use even past 10pm.

Miinukset: There was no ironing board.

Plussat: - The entire outdoor set up is beautiful, from the pools to the restaurant setting to the ocean view. - The rooms are lovely, clean and spacious. - The resort is calm and quiet, and the staff are friendly.

Miinukset: - Coolness and ventilation needs to be increased in the restaurant. - Travellers need to be advised better. For example, we travelled to Candidasa town with the Candidasa driver and were told that he couldn’t bring us back, but we’d be able to find any driver in town for the trip back to Sea Breeze. However, there were no drivers, and we had to walk back. —> The hotel would do well to have a free shuttle service to and from Candidasa town. - Advise staff on the meaning of halaal to better cater for halaal dietary requirements.

Plussat: The property is set at a very good location just overlooking the beach. The eco friendly vibe is absolutely amazing. The staff is extremely courteous and welcoming. I don’t think they can do any wrong! Our room, the food, the view, the hospitality, everything was just perfect!!!

Plussat: The view was nice, but that's about it.

Miinukset: The wifi didn't work, which takes down the rating significantly for me. Arrogant and unresponsive staff. The pick-up that I had ordered the day before for the next day was 40 min late.

Plussat: Beautiful rooms with to-die for views. Friendly staff and nice service.

Miinukset: The hotel was further from the village of Candidasa than I expected, so a bit harder to get out and about.

Plussat: Atmosphere

Miinukset: Liked everything

Plussat: Rauhallinen paikka, siisti ympäristö.

Plussat: Small resort with a Peaceful beachfront location, staff were lovely, happy and helpful

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: Sea view Staff

Miinukset: Location. This hotel is far from the village. No transfer is included, thus you need to take a taxi or a scooter. It is tough to order Grab or Gojek here because of the local taxi mafia. In our superior number (28), the front door can’t be locked in fact. You can push the door and it will be unlocked. I see that people were complaining on this more than a year ago but the issue remains Shower needs to be updated Restaurant is overpriced for the food quality The linen was smelly, probably because it wasn’t dry) No soap in the room, when we asked for it, the staff brought us a shower gel:-)

Plussat: Peaceful and relaxing overlooking the ocean and listening to waves

Miinukset: No beach - has eroded away

Plussat: We booked this place occasionally and were so happy when arrived there. The place have separate villas with the nice interior. Exceptionally clean and comfortable rooms, hotel facilities and so nice and friendly staff! We enjoyed our stay in this place. Highly recommend!

Miinukset: Nothing to say, it’s a perfect place!

Plussat: Staff were friendly. We liked the large shower head on the outside shower. It was a nice place to relax for a few days. There is a good local restaurant Balissa on the main street where we enjoyed good local food at a reasonable price.

Miinukset: The location was about a 10 minute walk to the main street for restaurants. This was difficult at night as this wasn't well lit and was a narrow road with a lot of traffic at times. There was not enough shade around the pool.

Plussat: small quiet resort with the pool, bright and clean villas, good breakfast, helpful and friendly staff

Plussat: The place is amazing. With beautiful gardens and pool. The king size bed was so comfortable, and the outside shower a lovely bonus. We really do recommend staying here as it is so lovely and such good value. Just the 3 bungalows in a peaceful paradise just a couple of minutes from the beach. The staff were extremely helpful in every way, including organizing drivers, and phoning our next hotel. The room and cleaning were immaculate. Do eat in Ganache restaurant around the corner for the best Bali curry.

Miinukset: Everything about this place was perfect and exceeded our expectations. (The only disappointment was that there is so little beach in Candidasa.) So this is the perfect place to stay a few days on your way to East Bali. Very peaceful and quiet.

Plussat: The Villas were wonderful, bright, clean and fittings were good. Pool was beautiful and large especially as there were only 3 Villas. Gardens are nice and the staff are always working at either cleaning or gardening and caring for the surrounds of the Villas. Breakfast was more than acceptable and you had it cooked or prepared when you wanted it so it was always fresh when you chose to eat. Spa and massages are available onsite. Quite a lot of reasonable restaurants nearby and close to the beach. The owner is very fortunate to have such dedicated and hard working staff.

Miinukset: There are a multitude of satellite channels on the TV but we only found one English speaking news channel. This was a bit disappointing but there are DVD players in the rooms so we would suggest if you want some relaxing time in your room or for kids bring a few DVD's with you. Not a deal breaker but could be better.

Plussat: Swimming pool

Miinukset: Rooms could be cleaner Tiny breakfasts

Plussat: Big room, good breakfast, fridge in the room, nice swimming pool, beautiful territory. It is really good place to stay. I want to come again.

Miinukset: The bathtub and the shower were a little dirty. Blanket was also not perfect clean, with some yellow dots.

Plussat: Nice and quiet. Helpful staff.

Plussat: Large pool , big room wit unique badroom .

Miinukset: hard bed mattress

Plussat: The serenity, if you want to relax away from the hustle and bustle of every day western life then come here and free yourself. Lounge around and in the pool while watching and listening to the wave break on the reef in from of you. Ahhh sooo good.....

Miinukset: The loose river stone driveway was hard to ride a scooter on

Plussat: environment and normal staff

Miinukset: Bigheaded and incompetent management( lady). The other staffs very ok. Food needs improvement, especially the meat menus.

Plussat: Amazing staff and really nice surroundings. Dive center with very professional staff and many dive trip options.

Miinukset: The bed was a bit hard, but did sleep well every night anyway.

Plussat: Beautiful clean pool amenities and lovely rooms

Miinukset: The only thing I could fault were the pizzas sorry guys but below average and stone cold

Plussat: I loved the comfort of relaxing on the beach and the beautiful swimming pool.

Miinukset: No comment

Plussat: The lounging area around the pool is very relaxing. The outdoor bathroom is great.

Miinukset: The bed is a bit small for 2 adults.

Plussat: Hmmmmm not much

Miinukset: There were 10 guests...bacardi ran out not easy to go anywhere else so no cocktails for 3 days...I mean how much does a bottle of bacardi cost. the fact there were so few guests we were being bothered ...eg ring up for breakfast....even told to keep noise down well before midnight when we weren't even noisy. the bridge you walk across from reception to room is rickety at best, in fact my partner tripped and fell on the unmarked step due to lack of light, lucky he didnt fall in the very green smelly water. the pool had tiles missing and large green algae patches between them...my advice is close down for a week and just do some maintenance.

Plussat: Location, view and value

Miinukset: No beach access, not close to store or restaurants, bad weather...had to stay at resort.

Plussat: The room is very big and the facilities is great. The location is good enough. The staff there is very nice as well.

Miinukset: The breakfast is not enough variations. The bakery that was serve is also cold and hard. The cleanliness of the restaurant is poor.

Plussat: the bed, and bed net, good size bed.

Miinukset: beautiful clean well designed and comfortable bed.

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: Everything needs improvement at this place. I don't know how people rate it as 4.5 stars. The worst place I have found in Bali. It's a very dirty place and it looks abandoned with zero customer attention. We found bugs eggs on the sheets and underneath the mattress. On the wood frame of the bed, there were dead bugs, gecko's poo and eggs as well (you can see it on the attached pics). When we asked the staff to clean, they showed up with a small broom (which looked like a joke). When I asked if they had a vacuum cleaner, they told me they didn't even have a vacuum cleaner (and the place is considered a resort). I asked to talk with a manager, but he or she was too busy to meet us. We checked out after three hours and the only positive thing is that we got full reimbursment. The road to arrive at the "resort" is an unpaved countryside road, they don't have beach access, the sunbeds on the pool area are dirty as well and furniture in the room looked worn-out. Next door, there is an amazing resort which is clean, beautiful and even cheaper!

Plussat: Pleasant . Nature by the sea side

Miinukset: Taxi n transportation was very hard to arrange. Taxi drivers trying charge more than the rate. Its mk us uncomfortable.feel bad when they are doing this to a tourist.

Plussat: The property itself is small, sweet and simple, combining beautifully manicured gardens with ocean views, fish ponds, charming villas and a picturesque infinity pool. The accommodation is rustic but clean and comfortable; although quite small, the villas are cosy and welcoming, with clean bathrooms blending indoor and outdoor spaces, and the rooms themselves decorated in a style that’s a mix between modern comfort and traditional character. The restaurant hasn’t been up and running for very long, so expect some minor teething problems with menu items or service. Any shortcomings are more than compensated for by the friendly and welcoming staff; from the moment of arrival - which featured a traditional Balinese blessing - throughout our stay and until departure, the team at Nirwana were only too happy to help, offering smiles and greetings at every step. They even produced a cake with candles for my birthday - totally unexpected and genuinely touching. Thank you to all the staff at Nirwana for making us so welcome, and for making our getaway in Candidasa a holiday to remember!

Miinukset: As the resort complex is quite small, expect to be a little overlooked by neighbouring villas; guests in search of solitude and seclusion should prepare themselves to live in more of a cozy ‘kampung’ configuration, though this is not necessarily a bad thing. As mentioned above, the restaurant is newly opened, so make some allowances for service and prepare to be a little disappointed by some dishes on the menu. Other than that, Nirwana is a sweet and welcoming place to stay. Would certainly recommend for families, couples and travellers looking to escape the southern crowds and experience a laid-back getaway on Bali’s east coast.

Plussat: Everything was perfect. Our villa opened to an infinity pool and to the ocean with a view of the islands of Lembongan and Penida. The rooms are gorgeous and spotlessly clean. The staff are eager to be helpful and genuinely friendly. Their onsite spa was excellent. Our entire stay was a dream vacation. We will definitely return.

Miinukset: There was nothing to dislike.

Plussat: Each day starts waking to the sound of the rolling waves. Then travel to a different culture every day as you arrive to a beautiful bespoke breakfast - American, Indonesian, Continental or Indian - feel the flavours, taste the tranquillity, experience the ecstacy of an amazing chef-cooked breaky. Share a bucket of Bintangs as you laze by or in the pool. Stare at the hazy Penida & Lembongan Islands in the distance. Let your dreams drift into your reality as your body and mind relaxes... While Nirwana Beach & Resort might be small in stature, they are big on personalised, friendly service. We've never felt more welcome and accepted. There's no hastle; no hustle, no bustle; no troubles. Take their free shuttle, or enjoy the 15 minute walk into the heart of the Candidasa beach front with its quality restaurants and bars. Half an hour trip north to Virgin Beach and half an hour trip south to Blue Lagoon - the staff at Nirwana Beach & Resort will point you in the right direction, and with some local tips too. We can't wait to come back to our favourite place in paradise.

Plussat: Ocean view room was very nice and staff were very accommodating.

Miinukset: Great hotel in a quieter part of Bali. Nothing to not like about it.

Plussat: Hotelli oli todella hieno ja viihtyisä! Palvelu aivan loistavaa. Rauhallista. Voin suositella!

Plussat: Everything was nice!

Miinukset: The toilet was out in the open air "nature calls", it could be better if not too much of a trees.

Plussat: Erittäin toimiva, puhdas ja Hyvä hotelli. Kaikkea on ajateltu! Aamupala listalta oli kiva vaihtoehto normaaliin buffet aamiaiseen verrattuna. Henkilökunnalla ja asiakkailla näytti olevan hyvä meininki joka päivä. Suosittelemme! Ehdottomasti tulen uudestaan ensi kerralla. Kiitos!

Miinukset: Ainoa miinus oli, että rannalta ei päässyt uimaan. Ei ollut uimarannaksi tarkoitettu, muutaman kuvan kuitenki sai merestä hiekalla.

Plussat: What a splendid place for relaxation. Clean, serene and such friendly staff. So close to many restaurants but the onsite restaurant is superb. Massages are Devine. Definitely will be back

Miinukset: Leaving. Could stay forever

Plussat: aamiainen niukka

Plussat: Lovely gardens with beach

Miinukset: Mosquitoes too much local traffic noise

Plussat: Everything, perfect place to relax

Plussat: Matkustusajankohtamme oli sadekaudella, ja ensimmäisinä kahtena päivänä vettä tuli ja kunnolla, meidän bungalow joutui veden valtaan, joten saimme häädön isompaan ja parempaan Villaan samaan hintaan. Ensimmäinen majoituksemme oli myöskin siisti ja siellä olisi hyvinkin viihtynyt koko viikon ajan, mutta Bayshoren Villassa vieläkin paremmin. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja avuliasta koko vierailun ajan. Ja Tikki-koira mitä suloisin <3

Plussat: We enjoyed our most recent stay at Bayside Bungalows. Tv, air con, fan, safe, outside toilet and shower. Staff were attentive and friendly, room cleaned with care. Breakfast was very good. A special each day and also other choices and no white bread! So nice. Lovely setting around the pool and you can walk right down to the beach. Happy hour each day for cocktails and if you never want to leave, restaurant has great options. Recommend Warung Bintang right across the street and going to White Sand Beach and local village near by.

Miinukset: No fault of there’s but barking dogs all night and early early morning rooster. I also think it may be time to replace lounge cushion as many were soiled and torn.

Plussat: Most staff were very friendly Close to lilly pond

Plussat: Temple Cafe is like our little home in CandiDasa with the ocean sounds rocking you to sleep. Breakfast and dinner overlooking the sea is hard to beat. Shirley and her friendly staff help make our holiday just that little bit better so we always return.

Miinukset: Packing up to leave, should have stayed longer.

Plussat: Nicely decorated garden. Sitting area in front of the cottage and the oceanfront. Beautiful illuminated at night. The art cafe is nice too. Food good but small portions.
