This is a truly gorgeous villa, at a great location with the best sea views, complete privacy and a private staircase into the sea for swimming and snorkeling. It's walking distance to some great restaurants and shops. Their in-house chef cooked us a wonderful dinner! Thanks Dian and the team for a fantastic stay. We will be back!

Nothing! Be mindful of the fact that Candidasa is not near Kuta and other overcrowded tourist spots. The owner provides a great list of 'to do' recommendations to explore the wonderful Karangasem region.

Dian is an amazing manager and makes you feel right at home. Super ready to help out at any time.

Everything, the villa, the view, the comfort, most of all the wonderful staff that makes our holiday so enjoyable n memorable. Constructive suggestion: it is about time to replace the towels n pillow cases with new, fresh ones

Spectacular oceanfront location. There are 3 ocean front villas, separately owned, two of which are managed by same personnel. Dian, the manager is lovely and super helpful, we pre arranged beverages and food ahead of our arrival. (They charge cost plus 30% service, the latter includes the preparation and serving of the food and beverages.) We had a large bundle of laundry done for about IDR 122k Ultra comfortable beds. Super friendly staff - consisting of a team of 8 including 2 security staff, garden / pool caretaker, 2 villa valets and a cook. Highlights: early morning coffee by the pool overlooking the ocean, lying by the pool being offered beer / water, steak barbecue by the pool on our last night. Highly recommend.

The villa is not brand new and no longer pristine, due to the high humidity, there’s small signs of wood decay on the floor boards and cupboards, and mould on the grout between tiles, but nothing major that detracts from the overall experience of staying here.

Villa Kaniksa is the most spectacular luxury Villa set on the ocean with direct access to the sea. The villa has four king beds all with ensuites, a kitchen pod and a big central open dining & living hut. The decor is contemporary island style with solid wood furniture carved with Balinese motifs, wicker lounge setting with comfortable cushions for relaxing to read a book under cover or watch TV (Netflix is available but we didn’t use it). The bedrooms are lovely and well appointed. As there was only the two of us we only used the master bedroom which is spacious, has heavy duty air conditioning, a large walk-in wardrobe, big bathroom with spa. The bed is a four-poster with enclosed sheer nets and was super comfortable. With the breezy bed nets we felt like we were sleeping in a medieval romance movie! The gardens are incredible: the grass is lush and soft, the surrounding plants a tropical delight, and the abundance of wildlife was beautiful (chorus of birds, geckos, dragonfly & hermit crabs). My first evening, I had a massage next to the pool, at dusk with the birds chirping and the waves lapping. It was truely heaven on earth! The staff are so accommodating and friendly. They are helpful but never intrusive. They go about their work at intervals and when needed, otherwise they give you privacy. The food that was cooked by the chef (Su the talented resort-trained chef) is delicious and of the highest quality. The menu has many options and it’s easy to plan the day before for the meals the following day (we did go out for two lunches and a dinner and then had the rest of our meals at the Villa over our five days). Chicken BBQ, crumbed chicken, salads and Nasi Goreng was exceptionally good for dinner, club sandwiches by the pool for lunch & breakfasts of tropical fruit, eggs or pancakes with fresh watermelon juice & coffee eaten from the long dining table overlooking the garden, pool and out to the ocean.

There are only a few small things that could possibly warrant complaint (but these are minor against the overall stay): - the pillows were way too soft and uncomfortable for my personal preference - the spa didn’t work - the bathroom has open walls at the ceiling that face into the courtyard and I was really uncomfortable going about my daily business with the staff within hearing range. This might not be an issue for everyone but it did cause me a good deal of anxiety!

amazing location, staff and very cordial people.

nothing.

The location is amazing, so nice to be so close to the ocean. Amazing staff, nothing was a problem. The location is quiet but with enough restaurants and bars to keep you going for a week. If you want to switch off and relax this is the place

the position, the standard of fixtures and fittings, the staff were brilliant.

nothing we didn’t like

beautifully designed villa located at the seafront where we have the view of the sea. the size is nice for our group. we were able to descend into the sea by climbing down a few steps and it was nice to snorkel and see the coral fishes just around the villa. the service of the staff were also very good. they were friendly and helpful.

The kitchen cleanliness could be better.. We were there during the pandemic period, it was really a very quiet season,in my opinion it was over price at that time during out stay.

Of course the seaview!! Staffs was alright and helpful during our stay.

Pick and drop was provided and the facilitator were present at the villa for Welcome. Dian the manager was exceptional with her Team. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

The resort is private and you have the whole property to yourself. There are 4 rooms and if you are going in a group - it’s awesome. Loads of space - swimming pool, sitting area, jacuzzi, great service. They have good tie ups with dive Centers, massagers (who come to hotel to massage), restaurants, transporters- hence it’s all we’ll set. Views are outstanding- sea just in front of the hotel. It’s a beautiful experience . Dian - the main person is super helpful and highly responsive over calls, whstapps too. I would give it 11 out 10. Superb property

Snorkelling area in front of resort isn’t great
