Rama Candidasa Resort & Spa

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.

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!!!

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

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.
