This property exceeded my expectations. It’s important to remember it’s a 2 star hotel so I was not fazed by the small hiccups/maintenance issues that I experienced. The rooms are spacious, and clean. The bed was super comfortable (pillows not so- would take my own next time). Staff are amazing and the view from the restaurant that is positioned absolute beach is incredible. The other guests were all so lovely and it all contributes to a lovely vibe. I found the rubbish in the beach off putting but loved watching the fisherman come in and out in their boats. Their children playing in the water was gorgeous too. This is a hotel I would return to if I just want to relax and destress.

Honestly nothing is a deal breaker. It is a little walk to the Main Street. Power went out a couple of times but was quickly fixed. Small maintenance issues like the the bolt to the bathroom door was stuck so you couldn’t close properly. The air con cord runs through your bathroom in an ugly manner with an inelegant hole. Didn’t really love the food at the restaurant. I found the curtains in the room insufficient making it too light for me to sleep but rectified by putting towel over the window - my brothers didn’t find it an issue.

The staff and young boy working in the restaurant were lovely. It was nice for the boy to practice his English . They organized a good scooter for us and a snorkeling trip to the blue lagoon which was awesome. The room was comfortable , the pillow was too thick but staff were quick to change it when I asked. They have umbrella available if its raining. The breakfast was good.

The male staff at reception could take a lesson in politeness/friendliness from the boy who works in the restaurant..we had mojitos which were terrible, they tasted like water, the staff topped them up with Rum, but they still tasted like water. ( I'd question what was in the bacardi bottle)..there was also a high step up to the toilet in our ensuite, which could catch you out.

We love staying at the Puri Oka Right on the beach and the sounds of the waves at night are amazing The food cooked by the kitchen is always good and the girls smiles when you go to breakfast always make me smile. Our Grandson loved fishing with the fisherman that leaves from the beach near the restaurant in the morning Picture is of his catch!

It’s a bit far to walk to the Main Street when you are older but Wayan the driver will take you and wait for a small charge which is convenient

It was located on the beach, and the dining area faced the beach. It also had a swimming pool so you had options. There is an upstairs patio, which was nice to do morning yoga to greet the day. Ask reception for a yoga mat. Staff are very responsive and happy. The gardens are well kept, lush, and green. It was relaxing just to sit there and get visits from birds, butterflies, and dragonflies.

There's rising damp in room. Given the rain and humidity (January stay), if you are sensitive you need to be aware of this. Aircon on and leave door open can encourage circulation to make stay more pleasant.

Our initial room was bare bones. Once we upgraded to a bungalow, we were much more comfortable. The bungalow had a kettle and coffee/tea, a TV, better/newer air conditioning and didnʻt require moving luggage up the stairs.

The barebones room was clean but not particularly comfortable.

Cosy place with lovely staff and the other occupants were lovely too. It was clean and the location being on the beach was great. We used the sauna and ice bath which was great. We had to cut our trip short unfortunately! Candidasa is quiet in terms of tourist so if you’re looking to get away from the chaos of Seminyak and want to relax by the ocean, this could be your place.

Limited food options in candidasa. It’s a quiet town for tourists and the shops and eateries is limited. The hotel kitchen staff were lovely and the options were good. We were on a tight budget and this was slightly above for us. But we did eat there one night and all of us were happy. There was also limited beach area as the tide feels like it’s always in. But the water its self was a beautiful temperature and I probably had the best swim in Bali.

I booked this place after reading some great reviews on booking.com. Then the day before was googling it and found some rather bad reviews that concerned me, after reading them I want to cancel but it was too late….. and I am pleased I couldn’t ! I stayed in the deluxe family room with my husband, 4 year old and 6 month old and we had a Fabulous stay. This place is excellent value for money and as far as I can tell they have addressed any feedback head on. The WiFi was great, beds comfortable, the road to the main area lit (although if you are older aspecting a smooth pavement then you may struggle). The views are great, the staff super friendly and they really do try to offer a lot to their guests. We had plenty of drinking water in the room, the breakfast was simple but good, the pool clean and refreshing and did I mention the views already! All in all for the price you pay you would be mad not to stay. Thank you for a great week!

The first night we had an issue with the air conditioner, tbh this could have been user error but what ever it was made for a hot and uncomfortable night sleep. This was addressed the next day and we didn’t have the same problem again. The drains sometimes had a bad smell but that’s just Bali and if I was being uber critical the pillows were too big for my liking.

Wow, this place is magic, the location is spectacular, the hotel itself and it’s archways leading you through to the water, the rooms are beautifully finished, the waterside restaurant has a great menu catering for vegetarians and the staff are fantastic, To get to the hotel you wander down a quiet road off the main road with chickens and local animals and people living their life, just a ten minute walk from the town but quiet and peaceful, just a lovely stay

Nothing

The one bedroom bungalow (no 3) has a beautiful view of the ocean. It was quiet at night, the room was clean, and fresh towels were provided often. Easy enough to walk to the town centre or nearby restaurants. They helped arrange shuttles for us as needed. The family unit was spacious with 2 bathrooms and a filter water unit. Also has a view of the ocean. The breakfast was good.

It would be nice if both coffee/tea and juice were all included for breakfast, instead of charging extra if wanting both. Same for the additional bacon...

I am so happy to have found this pocket paradise. My stay here was perfect in every way. Everyone who works here is so friendly and helpful. They made me feel like part of the family. The location is wonderfully peaceful. You can fall asleep to the sounds of the waves washing up on the small, but lovely beach, which you can access directly in front of the accommodation. The pool is also a great option. It is very clean and there are plenty of seating and sunbathing options to choose from. The restaurant is in a great location overlooking the water and the food in the restaurant is very (very very) good with a lot of options to suit any palate. I treated myself to the biggest room on offer and I was beyond happy that I did. My room was huge, so was the bathroom. There was also a very large balcony area attached. All were kept spotless. The room bar fridge was lovely and cold. Perhaps this is not important to some people, but I love my water icy cold. Your host can also arrange boat hire for 2 or more hours for fishing or snorkelling at the nearby rock islands. I can certainly understand why people return to stay here every time they come to Bali. I will now be one of those people.
