It was my first time in Bali and in Asia in general. I must first say that my experience in Bali was centred around this breath taking hotel. I am a fond traveller and have stayed in many hotels including the Hilton and many 5 star resorts but Puri Bagus Candidasa has to be the best resort I have ever stayed in. Candidasa Is a gem and has to be one of the best areas to stay in Bali, far better than the touristy locations such as Kuta or Ubud. Upon arriving we were welcomed by the warmest smile and the coolest drink (which was necessary due to the warm heat in Bali) we were dealt with very swiftly as the hotel could tell we had travelled a lot and took us directly to our room. The cleanliness of the room and the whole resort in general was surreal. The room was well equipped with everything and very spacious, no problem at all with all bugs or WiFi as the hotel was very on top with all of this. The breakfast provided by the hotel was at all levels exceeding my expectations, they had a very wide variety to cater to all sorts of people. From European food right down to traditional Indonesian food. The staff were very accommodating at breakfast and spoke perfect English. The hotel had many activities available such as yoga, snorkelling, boat trips, massages and many others at an amazing rate, the hotel pool was located right next to the beach and looked beautiful. The managers were always available to speak to and listened with genuine care when you conversed with them. The hotel

The best thing about this place is the staff, all friendly, all helpful Wifi was sometimes a bit iffy in the villa but good enough elsewhere.

There isn't actually a pool bar. It would be nice to have restrooms in the pool area.

Situated at the end of the ‘beach’ strip it is a quieter alternative with lovely lavish bungalows, beautifully maintained gardens and a goid sized pool. Great pool side cafe serving ok Balinese dishes. Fabulous staff.

Really liked it here the food was excellent and the staff helpful and accommodating! Photos are authentic!

The rooms were very nice and AC worked well. Food at the restaurant was good. Staff was freidndly, but hard to communicate with. The activities were not organized well, and you were better off having the people from the beach take you as the hotel ended up hiring them anyways for double the cost. Very quiet, and not much to do in town. Very relaxing though. Recommend getting a moped to get around as it is far from anything.

Our 5-night stay exceeded all of our expectations. The pictures do not really do this hotel justice. The view is stunning and the grounds are kept beautiful with both the option of swimming in the pool as well as the sea(sea I see very clean here). The food, both restaurant and breakfast buffet is very varied and well tasting. The staff is very nice and friendly. This hotel is definitely worth visiting and has easy access to local restaurants and good dive/snorkel spots(dive shop on ground). Go here if you want to escape the masses in the south. Will highly recommend.

This is a beautiful hotel set in lovely grounds. Surrounded by banana and coconut trees. Everything was beautifully done from the fresh breakfast to the hotel bar. We had a lovely room overlooking the beach, with an outdoor bathroom where you could see palm trees as you showered! It’s a short walk into the very authentic town and some nice restaurants - try Vincent’s! Otherwise food at the hotel is really good.

It was wonderful. A lovely complex where you feel like you are in Bali. All ground level bungalows built in the Balinese style

The hotel was a bit tired and in need of an update (eg.no flat screen TV in room), bed was uncomfortable and air conditioning not very effective. Staff were a bit pushy and kept wanting to sell us activities etc.Breakfast was very basic. On the plus side the grounds were beautiful and the pool nice.

Comfy, could make it dark and blast AC. Pool is huge. Sunsets are great but wished for beach (Candidasa has none really). Breakfast buffet is large and many options

Beautiful hotel, wonderful people.

We love Puri Bagus. The service levels are fantastic...across the board, from the reception desk, wait staff, to pool man, to cleaners and gardeners; unfailing good spirits and assistance. The grounds are a delight and a credit to the staff who tend them. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The breakfast was fine, although other food was not outstanding. The pool was well maintained, and there was enough space and sun-beds to be comfortable - although at full capacity there might be a bit of strain. The property is in a good location especially given shuttle and pick-up service from the likes of Vincents. Would love to come back.

The staff was always on point and extremely friendly, especially Ayu. The pool was always clean and the food was always good. And very inexpensive!! Even room service. I recommend their grilled fish. So good!

Great place to relax and unwind. Rooms are large bed was good, breakfast was very pleasing only thing I would complain about was bar staff were very very slow for drinks and ordering a meal. But overall a great place..

Wonderful family run hotel. Spa is fantastic with wonderful treatments. Wifi is very spotty but the surroundings are perfect with beautiful gardens and a nice restaurant on the beach. Would recommend this place for people wanting peace and beautiful setting.

A quiet old world Bali hotel with spacious rooms, lovely view from the pool and the upstairs breakfast room and great sunset views from the bales Room service was fast and efficient. No real beach as such, but that is typical of Candidasa.

For the traveller looking to see more of Bali / Indonesia, this is an incredibly well appointed hotel with very courteous staff and stunningly presented facilities. A short drive away is Padangbai, a departure point for ferries to the eastern islands.

The hotel is situated at the end of a small road about 500mt from the main road. Very quiet if that is what you are looking for. The staff were polite and friendly and the food excellent. The breakfasts were delicious and excellent value being complimentary with your stay. The pool is small but well maintained and the setting is typical Bali, Palm trees and Boganvilias of all colours. The gardens were amazing they take such pride in their presentation. Our room was very spacious with a huge bed. The air conditioner was very quiet which is always a plus and there is a small verandah where your can relax and read. We had a room at the back 508 which initially I thought not the best but we had no one passing our room and it was very private. I suppose the only fault I found with the room was the open air bathroom which was very clean and spacious but connected with the room next door just separated by a rock wall so if someone was using the bathroom you could hear very clearly what was going on, a bit awkward at times. Also there are no safes in the rooms, so valuables needed to be checked at reception in their secure room, a bit inconvenient. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy the bali experience, Puri Bagus Candidasa villas are the place to go. We will definitely come again.
