Very nice stay everything we expected there. Nice cozy neighborhood with good and inexpensive restaurants. Uitsappen the scooter no prov clay. Very good experience

Excellent hotel with the most romantic location (great view of the sunset), excellent service and super povar.v room completely all thought (as Bud's home). This really want to come back more than once.

We had a lovely time. Everything was very good. We have no complains. Also very good employees.

Very nice place for a reasonable price. Room was clean with nice view , we could heart the sound of waves :) location wise- centre of candidasa, close to the bars and restaurants.

This place is remarkable with value of price. I got the room with the view just exactly the same on Darryl's profile. It was an amazing stay. I love to have breakfast even dinner at the restaurant near the pool, and don't forget, you will enjoy your food with the view of the ocean as well. The price is ok, not too expensive, especially their breakfast buffet is really cheap compare to the ala carte. If you need a place that secluded from the noise, you find the perfect one! I didn't meet Darryl in person, however he is very helpful with all the information that he provided me. Thanks, Darryl!

Very good resort with all the advantages of a hotel. Great view.

The place was nice and clean, comfortable and the staff were very welcoming. However, we had to wait a while to check in. But overall would recommend this to others wanting to visit the area.

Darryl made extra care to make sure we were totally looked after and helped us with extra stuff we needed help with like booking the boat to Gili T. His place is perfect. The village is awesome. We loved every bit of our stay.. Highly recommend!!

Place was perfect!!! Exactly what we were looking for. Sound of the ocean at all time. Friendly people all around. Good massage right to the house. CHEAP!!

We had an amazing time in the Bambu house. If you are looking for something special and not the ordinary hotel experience this is where you should stay. During the day there is a wide range of activities that you can choose from: snorkeling, relaxing at white sand beach, climbing vulcanos, enjoying massages (go to "no Problem Shop" they will organise everything for you)... In the evening you can enjoy a glas of wine on the balcony and listen to the sound of the ocean :-) AND you should have dinner at "Amarta"! It is an awesome restaurant! We went there every night! In case you want cheap food go to Delima 5 :-) Thank you Kam and Harper for letting us stay at your place and for being such great hosts!!!

It was amazing! Everything worked great

Wow! As soon as we arrived we fell in love with our bamboo house and candidasa paradise. We were lucky to have host Kam meet us at arrival and provide extra tips to help us settle in for our stay. From Wayan for transport, Coma (nor sure if we spelt right) for great pancakes and breakfast and Wayan's wonderful massages. Not to mention Ray at the bakery - Loaf. We couldn't stay away! The house is perfect in every way with thoughtful design and details throughout. We couldn't stop taking pictures! There was a cool breeze during the night and day and it's located right on the ocean. The pictures accurately show the house's beauty. We also went snorkeling with Nyoman - a local fisherman out the front. Our stay in candidasa was the highlight of our Bali holiday. Thanks so much to Kam and Harper for your hospitality and for sharing your space with our family. We'll see you next year! Denis, Monica, Jye and Riley

My girlfriend and I stayed at Kam's place from March 16 - 20 2015. It was our first stop in Bali and we could not have wished for a better start. Kam picked us up from the airport and was very nice and helpful all the time. We got a lot of information and insights into Bali living from an expat perspective which was great! Later in our stay we met Harper as well and the two are a lovely couple, very friendly and caring. The house itself is exactly as you see on the pictures. We liked the simple but stylish vibe of the bamboo structure and the green surroundings a lot. The balcony on the first floor is especially nice to sit in the shadow and relax during the hot hours. It is situated in a private area and although only a few steps of the main road, we always felt secure there. On site, Komang is the house keeper and her sister in law is coming over to clean daily. All the balinese people living in the neighborhood were very friendly to us and Komang was always around to answer our questions and give us information. As usual in Bali, the locals keep chickens and dogs. At night, they can be pretty noisy, so pack a pair of earplugs if you want to make sure to sleep through. This is nothing that Kam is responsible for though, if you want absolute silence at night in Bali, you better go somewhere NO ONE is actually living! All in all, this is definitely a place we would stay again if we get back to the island!

A little but cosy bamboo house close to the sea and in the heart of Candidasa. Nice balcony where you can partially see the sea and listen to the great sound of the ocean. Silent, clean and fully equipped. All looks like on the pictures - except the beach… (there was - at least in November 2015… - not a really nice beach for swimming ;-). Fairly priced, maybe a little bit overpriced in the off-season. I missed a WLAN (you have to go to a restaurant around the corner for this). Kam answers very quickly and reliable. All in all: Recommended. Thank you for the bamboo house experience and all the best for your future life!

I liked Kam's bamboo house very much and we really had a lovely stay. Upfront communication was perfect and everything has been arranged for our arrival, including Pick-up from the airport for a reasonable price. Check-in was done through Komang, she also was so nice to take care of anything else we needed during our stay. The neighbourhood was very safe and the locals living around have been very friendly and helpful. The small beach was perfect but we enjoyed to go swimming there every morning and evening. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and warungs around with nice local and international food.

We liked Candidasa and this simple but well stocked little place for 2 nights. The pictures are not all accurate. One is led to believe that there is something more than a small patch of white sand. Without air con it was sweltering.

Great service from Ketut with dayly cleaning and Wayan from the jackywacky shop for anything else you need, lovely lady ;-) The house is like at home , you have everything you could need, near beach. Just some small things need maintenance. I liked eating in warung jepun just in front at the mainstreet, the other warungs nearby where less, ofcourse on walkingdistance there are some very good restaurants also at the beach with sunset. TX

Great stay in Candidasa. The house complies with pictures. Great for a family of 4. Our girls were thrilled we. quiet and relaxing no surprises. Great views. Everything you need nearby. The premises are very outgoing and friendly. Yan the taxi driver who picked us up at the airport is great and really available. I really keep in mind the friendly people.

The Place is great no complaints here.

Just great, we were almost 2 weeks in candidasa and enjoyed every day. The inhabitants of the area are all super nice and helpful. We will definitely be back

Jacky has made every effort to make us feel welcome. All questions came directly answer or a solution. The driver Yan, housekeeper Ketut and Wayan contact were very nice. Setting proved somewhat difficult with a boy of 4 years. Beach was tricky to get with him and the road was busy and dangerous. things looked from the road bad, waste of breathtaking beauty that could be seen from the cottage. House was clean but dated. Thanks Jacky and her crew overall had a good stay.

The accommodation is located directly by the sea. Unfortunately, there is no beach. Nevertheless, fantastic view of the water. The house is very cozy and has everything you need: on the lower floor a small kitchen, sofa with TV, bathroom, upstairs a cozy bedroom including WC. Communication went smoothly. The price / performance ratio was totally. We can definitely recommend the accommodation.

Awesome we loved it here Lovely people Great house

We loved staying at Jacky's. Enjoyed the location in the centre of town with all the restaurants and shops within walking distance. The beach is beautiful and clean. Jackys coffee and toasted sandwiches at Wacky Jackys were great. Loved our stay and would recommend anyone interested to give a try. Thanks Karina

We enjoyed our stay at this nice villa in a beautiful location. Highlights were snorkeling directly in front of the villa and sunset view from the pool.

We loved our time at Villa Dewisita the house is a bit run down but the pool area is lovely and where we spent our days the view is gorgeous! Wayan was lovely and helpful and the walk to to Main Street is less than 5 minutes we look forward to coming back soon!

The photos are not lying, this villa is as beautiful as the pictures suggest. However, we were overall disappointed with the area (Candidasa). The town does not have much to offer, it definitely has seen better days. Apparently there were white sand beaches here a few decades ago, before they blasted the coral to use for building materials. Now, you can't even walk along the shoreline, there is nowhere to go. It is quite depressing, actually. The villa itself was nice, however, it smelled a bit mildewy and the hot water did not work. There is no Wifi in the place, we had to go to the villa next door, or to the neighbouring hotel to use it. (The hotel is a great place for breakfast, by the way). The staff at the villa were friendly enough although we did not have much interaction with them. We were a little surprised when we left, we offered the pool boy a tip which we thought quite generous for 3 days (100,000 Rupi) and the same tip to the cleaning staff and he wanted more (he said there were 2 cleaning ladies and a gardener as well). Also, it got tiresome after a while, so many men would approach us at the villa asking if we needed help with a "program" for the day (ie. boating, etc.) We had a couple of meals at a restaurant in town called "Vincent's" which were very good. We had a ABYSMAL dinner at a place called (something) 49. If you're looking for a guide to set up programs, we met a waiter at Vincent's named Taliman. He and his brother, Made, were wonderful: Very good English and a great sense of humour. Made took us snorkelling, and then to a beach called "White sand beach" for a delicious lunch. He also took us on a bicycle tour which was nice, but too pricey. Before the tour, he took us to a gorgeous water temple, I forget the name, but it was breathtaking! When you arrive at the villa, be prepared for a small surcharge the staff will ask you for. They will also ask for your passports to make copies of.

A fantastic house and base to explore Candidasa. Loved it, would highly recommend.

Bas and Choki are great hosts. Even so we did not meet them in person the communication via internet was perfect. The villa is outstanding. Located in walking distance to Candidasa "center", with many nice restaurant, the villa itself is in a very quiet area. The only thing you will hear is the ocean right in front of your private pool. The small reef just in front of the villa offers an surprisingly diverse marine wildlife. Made and Wayan, who are taking care of the villa, are as good as it gets! Bali is famous for its hospitality and they are the best ambassadors. We, two couples from Germany, can highly recommend this villa.

The Villa was awesome! We were two couples that stayed in this beautiful place! But there was space for 3 couples... everything was very clean, the stuff was very friendly and helpful all the time! The communication with the two was quick and very friendly!

The reservation was canceled 31 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The house was amazing. As we walked by the side of the house, our jaws dropped. Such a lovely view, first with the swimming pool by the house and then the ocean behind it. It was so nice having our own pool. The pool was cleaned every morning before we woke by a mystery pool cleaner. Mayan was the housekeeper and she was available if we needed anything. She was close enough to be useful when we wanted something and at the same time she was far away not to disturb. At the end of the trip it was a little sad saying goodbye to her. There was air conditioning in the bedrooms which worked really well. The water was hot. The water pressure was a little less in the morning, as I guess many people in the area were using water. But it was always good enough to shower with. We had many beautiful meals looking out at the ocean. There was a local village with many restaurants, there were cheap restaurants and expensive restaurants. The expensive restaurants were still much cheaper than Europe. We went snorkling from the bottom of the property. There were some fish there and around, we saw clownfish like Nemo and little blue fish which were very luminous. There was coral too. Some of the coral was alive and pink while other parts of the coral was white and expired. The neighbouring restaurant would deliver food to us, so that was handy.

Excellent location, extremely clean and modern. Friendly and helpful hosts. Amazing views from the rooms and would definitely recommend staying here. Wish we could have stayed longer!

The place is beautiful, but it is too close to the main street and local bars so it is really noisy. We had a problem with our reservation on airbnb. However Dewa was really helpful and found solution for us.

Magic View Bungalows is in the best position. Right on the beach. Hearing the sound of the waves crashing on the shore at night is what dreams are made of. Did a great snorkelling tour off the beautiful Topacca Islands with the local fisherman in front of the villa. The staff Nyoman & Made were friendly and helpful. It's a great place to relax and unwind and feels like Bali was 30years ago. Loved it..We will be back

Great seafront location and we paid extra for sea view. Room was lovely and all new. Very large comfortable bed and great shower. Best beach towels in Bali! Arranged our onward transport which was much appreciated. We went next door for seaview breakfast and realised what great value we had from Dewa. Well recommended. Very friendly.

It was with great pleasure to wake on our first morning to this outstanding view. We loved having front row seats to all the action of the fishermen and divers preparing for the day. So glad you were able to extend our stay at short notice - thank you - we didn't want to leave! Wonderful staff keep the property very clean and tidy. Huge comfortable KS bed with fresh linen and towels every two days. Only tip I can give is don't forget ear plugs for sleeping if you are sensitive to noise. MVB is on Main Street and traffic can be sometime busy but you are gently soothed by the sound of the ocean. Already planning my next visit. First time in Candidasa and loved it!

This is a great place for a secluded holiday. Here you can enjoy the noise of the surf and the stone bridge leaving the sea

Alles perfekt! Brandneue Anlage, sehr sauber, direkt am Meer, sehr freundliches Personal. Jederzeit wieder!

Amazing staff - one of them took us on a mountain climb & it was great - good location, right on the water front & close to Candidasa's best restaurants - Vincents & Le 48. Room was comfortable.

Nice hotel. Cute and small. Only stayed overnight so didn't sample service much.

We stayed not there because they were full,so we got a room in Bali Palm Resort the partnerhotel!The appartment was very spacious and we had everything we need! Just the food from the restaurant was not so good but you can find nice restaurants just 5 minutes away from there! Our favourite was Vincents restaurant!

Awesome

So the accommodation can be found under the name of Shangrila. Were looking for a long time. The location is good, but the climate is very noisy and the bathroom was just ok. The room itself was nice with a balcony (sea view)

The good: Great location, nice clean pool friendly staff. We enjoyed the balcony. The bad: It was not an entire home/ (URL HIDDEN) rosters (and there are many!) next door woke us up everyday at 4/5am! The room was a bit small and very dated, the shower curtain didn't reach the bottom of the shower so the entire bathroom flooded every time we showered. There were large ants and bees in the bathroom all the time.

Wonderful resort, big apartment at a VERY reasonable price. Super friendly staff, and all the amenities one could want!

This was far better than we expected for the price,other guests paid much more for same accomodation. We will be using airbnb again.Room was great service was great,location was great what more can I say.Very happy.

Aquaria was a lovely quiet "hotel"/villa right on the edge of the main town area. The whole town itself does not have many sandy beaches, including the waterfront in front of the property, but the lounge chairs were very relaxing to look out onto the ocean. There was a plethora of staff, at times more staff than guests. Rather helpful, had some slight issues with communication but nothing major. The food was excellent!!! Some of the best I had in all of Bali. I recommend having them arrange a "day trip" with one of the local fishermen to go snorkeling.

A great place, by the sea: wonderful time! The staff is very kind and helpful. The restaurant is very attractive with different dishes proposed every day. One place to be. Laurent/Caroline.

This is a quiet place with so delicious food, you learn Candidasa not know, but enjoys overlooking the sea or the idyllic pool at Aquaria. Thanks for the breakfast option warm Balinese rice pudding! On demand is obtained 1A Tips for shopping crafts or participation in ceremonies and can take appropriate breaks.

We stayed at Aquaria for a week at the beginning of our 15 day Bali holiday. Following a hectic six months at work, all we needed was a nice and quiet place to rest - and Aquaria did just that. A pickup from the airport was sorted out prior to arrival, which was just great following over 20 hours of travel. Aquaria's neatly looked after premises together with top notch staff and quiet surroundings in Candidasa allowed us to relax and enjoy the natural water pool, organic and fresh cuisine, and each other. Very special thanks to 'Mr. Smiley' and both spa therapists for taking care of us during our stay. We've been in Sanur now for four days, and although days are filled with lots of different options, we do miss the tranquility and great spirit of Aquaria.

We spent two nights at Aquaria Resort. It was really great. The staff were very helpful and attentive. They had to get not forced upon the feeling of someone something. The food tasted very good. It is worth to eat there or evening. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. All in all, very clean rooms, friendly hosts and a quiet environment. We would each time book there again.

We stayed 4 nights at Aquaria, Candidasa. All employees of Aquaria resorts are very attentive and always courteous and friendly. Breakfast can be served on the private terrace and leaves no wish unfulfilled. Also lunch and dinner are highly recommended and priced really reasonable, so we rarely ate elsewhere. It was a very pleasant and relaxing time which we enjoyed very much. We would be very happy one day to visit the resort again. Thanks for a great time.

This was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy an entire afternoon and evening with the sounds of the waves crashing. Exactly what I had imagined. And close to where j was leave from the next morning. After avery early morning wake up (3:30am) to catch a long flight, I was able go straight to Aquaria with a kind driver they arranged for my pick up at the airport. In a couple hours drive, a arrived for lunch at their in house restaurant for my first taste of Balinese food. The vegetarian taster platter and the view of the sea was just what I needed to get me into relaxing mode. The service at Aquaria was impeccable. Not only did the arrange for my airport pick up, but they arranged my fast boat ride to Gili T the next morning. I was able to eat lunch, read a book, get an amazing massage right by the sea, eat dinner, watch a movie, and wake up for a third meal, breakfast before starting my next day of travel. My perfect first day in Indonesia. I can't speak highly enough about the delicious food and all the vegan and vegetarian options.

When it comes to Candidasa, Aquaria seems to be among the very best, if not THE best. If you are looking within this price point (a very reasonable price point for all the amenities and atmosphere you will get), I cannot imagine finding anything better. We were very comfortable here and enjoyed the pool and access to the sea immensely. Further, the restaurant and food was the best we had in Candidasa! They have a solid all-day menu, but their specials and an entire section of their menu changes daily. Also, note that the massage services offered at Aquaria, while slightly higher than other options in the area, was WONDERFUL and worth the slight up-charge. The only recommendation I have is that, if you are going to book this accommodation, you may wish to do so directly from their website and/or a third party booking agency (i.e (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)) rather than airbnb. First, Aquaria Resort is not the type of accommodation that airbnb intends to be a service for. Second, their reservation system does not link with airbnb, and our reservation was lost/not recognized by the staff upon arrival. The staff quickly fixed this issue (after asking for our confirmation email). However, save yourself any issue and book using the more appropriate methods. Lastly, the only feedback I have is that the staff sometimes does not seem to quite understand their own menu (note again that it changes daily!) or their happy hour options. They also sometimes seem a bit indifferent about things. However, this was not a negative, just the something that could be improved upon! All in all, a great find.

This was a brand new listing, so we weren't quite sure what to expect -- but all of our expectations were blown out of the water with Hans' place. The bungalows were spacious, clean and comfortable, and the property itself is beautiful with a nice pool and very convenient and tasty restaurant (great breakfast, which was included). The staff was lovely and arranged massages on the property and had an efficient laundry service. The location is also great -- about a five minute walk to the water and lots of good restaurants. For the price, we were incredibly impressed and even wondered if there had been some sort of a mistake (especially given some other places we've stayed at in Bali for more money). Would highly recommend and hope to return!

beautiful house, modern, bright, highly recommended! Magnificent views from bedroom certainly, we have enjoyed.

This place is awesome nice and peaceful but still happening enough that there quite few local balinese style cafes that are super cheap. definitely get a fruit juice every morning at one of these cafe plus they have free WIFI, the guy will rent you a scooter for 5us a day and it nice to ride around the mountains and through the rice fields. The driver charges great daily rates for Tours, taking you to the volcano, ubud everywhere. Up the road there a few local guys that will take you out on boat snorkelling for around 15us a day for 2 people and they provide all the gear too, this place is a great getaway from the hustle of Kuta

The house is clean and very spacious. The view from the balcony is so fine. Good to sit down and enjoy a cuppa at the end of the day. The place is not marked so it was a little tricky to find but you can ring the host who will guide you straight through. The area is walking distance from convenience stores, beauty salon and massage places, some selections of restaurants with cheaper price range compared to metropolitan Kuta or Seminyak. The area is good for accommodation only if you're planning to go on tours to other attractions.

We were able to relax and rejuvenate at Sak Ming's place in Candidasa. Candidasa is more chilled than the south areas and the pace is slower. We loved our access to the beach and proximity to hotels in the beach for meals with cooling ocean breeze. The little beaches in front are lovely and I'm sure snorkelling would be great (we didn't venture out but probably should have. Thank you Sak Ming. Although the Candidasa Beach Hotel is next to the Lila Berata homestay - the homestay is actually opposite Jojo's Boutique and Gelateria on the main road.

My girlfriend, myself and a friend stayed for 40 days and we have nothing but fantastic things to say both about the home and our experience from start to finish! All of the staff were extremely helpful in making our stay memorable and leaving us wanting to come back for more. The location was perfect for us, wanting to be out of the hustle of the larger cities yet it was close enough if we wanted to do a day trip to the larger cities or the near-by attractions we could do that very easily via scooter. I highly recommend this home and any of the others that Dave and Brenda offer simply for the fact that our experience with them and their staff ( Sak Ming, Nangah & Nana) were second to none and they make you feel right at home :)

The house is fantastic! We just loved the design and all the interesting materials used for the furniture. It has a direct view out to the sea (and islands further out) from the bed. There are glass doors and windows out to the balcony that can stay closed for just a view, or opened all the way across to be a part of the scenery. There are a couple of houses on either side that front the shore closer, so it's not an uninterrupted view. Also, there is some construction happening next door that is very loud and disturbing. But, this is only during the day, so you may be out doing things anyway. It's also only a tiny walk down the lane to the main road, where you'll be centrally located on the strip of all the cafes/restaurants. There is also a guy who will rent you a bike on the same lane, so no worries there. We never met Brenda or spoke to her during the booking or stay, but her staff were very friendly and helpful. We felt very comfortable the whole time and were sad to leave.

Love the place very much. We definitely had a real relaxing times at David & Brenda's 'sugar shack'! The house is cozy, beautiful. 5 of 5 stars from us! :)

Really nice Appartement with a really nice view. We fell in love we the interior and the vibes of this nice house. We will definitely come back, if we are in Bali again. The communication went also well.

Our stay at Buana Bali was a pleasant. We loved the convenience of everything. Turn right and the main road with shops, food and bars are right a quick walk. Turn left and the ocean is mere steps from your door. The AC works overtime, don't worry about being too hot at night you may even be a bit chilled, if anything. Komang who cleans is very sweet and informative. Our favourite part was opening the double doors in the living room and letting the fresh air flow in. A few tiny kinks, but overall we had a great time.

We had such a lovely time in Bu Ana's home! It's a perfect hideaway steps from the beach. Komang and her family are just feet away in the family compound where Bu Ana's home is located, and are incredibly helpful. Komang's potato omelets are amazing! The space itself is beautiful; super comfortable, with a full kitchen, a wonderful common space, private bedroom, and the best shower we had the entire trip! Candidasa is such a great location to just relax-- no intense shopping kiosks or water sports. Bu Ana wasn't home during our stay, but was such a caring and available host! She left an up-to-date detailed guide to the area and had many small comforts throughout the home-- water was always stocked, coffee, extra toothbrushes just in case, etc. Thank you for such a lovely stay! We hope to be back next year!

We had a nice stay here. Friendly helpful hostess, well cared for breakfast and a folder with information about nearby attractions and present. Cozy room and spacious bathroom.

The attention that we receive from Komang was awesome, the only issue that we have when we arrive it were a bugs problem that we solve a few hours later. The house it's very nice and the guide that she prepare was very helpful. The breakfast was delicious.

The place is very nice, clean and quiet, just 15 meters from the beach! We unfortunately did not meet Ana (the owner) but Komang and her family are very nice and helpful people. She prepares good breakfast and dinner on request. Scooters are available for rent and they can help for anything (laundry, fastboat, driver etc). The area has lots of restaurants. I recommend the warung De5 (ask Komang) for good and cheap seafood. Definitely a good place to have relaxing time!

It was great staying at Buana Bali! The place is just beautiful and very comfortable. Komang, Annerie's neighbor, took care of everything and made a great breakfast each morning. I rented a scooter from Komang's husband Ketut, and could go on a little roadtrip while leaving my big bag back af the house. That was just perfect! Sitting by the ocean and just listeninf to the waves hit the shore, made this, already amazing stay, even more perfect! I would definitely stay again when visiting Candidasa.

Ana was very prompt in responding to us

Our first time is Bali - After being a tad disappointed in our first stop in Ubud - I was really hoping that Candidasa would not disappoint and it did not! We spent 6 days here. Actually came one day early. The house was great - well equipped and really comfy. Nice clean white cotton sheets and bedding all very clean. As I am also a host I real look at this stuff and know how important it is. Kitchen was well stocked - Blender - rice cooker - spices, rice, - i enjoyed making breakfast and a few other meals. Though it is probably the same price to eat out as to buy food. Anything I needed I found. Raining? I found an umbrella. Out of toilet paper? I easily found more. The only thing i did not know which i wish i had was there are 2 bikes available for use. I noticed these on the last day and asked and had wished I'd known about them! Anna was wonderful and easy to communicate with from afar in Denmark and her caretaker Kumong was a real gem. Kumong and her family live right across the path - she cleaned our front porch daily, did our laundry for a small fee - and she and her husband were always available to answer any questions - or arrange motorbike or car rentals. Anna has a big fat white binder filled with all kinds of useful info, and was also available on e-mail with suggestions. Good wifi. A huge dvd collection of new movies - we watched one every night. The beach is about 100 steps away and at first didn't look too inviting as there is a quite a drop from the walkway down to the water down a flight of steps. But i soon got used to it and it is wonderful swimming right out front or to the left by the boats. . Not a sandy hang out beach though - but about 15 min motor bike or boat ride takes you to the white sand beach which is beautiful. I explored many of the hotels and for most if you buy a drink you can use their pool. The wooden bench platform in her photos was the perfect place to eat our breakfast or to do yoga. Le Zet on the top of her fave restaurants list was ours too, We ate there 3 times. Aquarius was also a favorite with an amazing restaurant and salt and fresh water pools. We loved our stay here. Highly recommended.

This apartment is really only suitable for 2 people who share a bed as the so called sofa bed was tiny and extremely uncomfortable. We were unable to lock the door The manager tried to replace the lock but was unable to so there was no security. It is very noisy as it is just behind the restaurant on a very busy polluted main road. The only good thing about the place were the very helpful staff who manage the place and work in the restaurant. They tried to find solutions for the problems such as the broken off toilet seat, bad bed and front door lock but unfortunately they did not work. We left after 3 nights out of the 7 we had booked because it was so depressing.

This was an average hotel experience. The room was okay, nothing fancy and the batroom smelled. Also the food in Shangrila's restuarant is not impressive. On the plus side we were lucky to get villa number 1, so we had a great terrasse with excellent seaview! And there are quite a few good places to eat close by. The beach is more for boats than swimming, but for us - a sunbather, a diver and a toddler - it was good along with the pool. All in all pretty good value for money, but we wouldn't come again.

Very good

All in all we enjoyed our stay. The accomodation was well located. The view with the ocean was beautiful and it was relaxing to be nearby the pool. The room was nice and clean and the stuff was always friendly and helpful. Although, we think the prices in the restaurant were too high, because the service and tax addition was more than 20 percent and we paid way less in other comparable restaurants for the same food.

This place was amazing! Great views and very hospitable. I would definitely stay here again!

It's not a luxury accommodation but worth it for the price Food quality could be improved and the price is a bit over I think

Shangrila hotel is conveniently located by the sea. The rooms are very clean, pleasant, some with a beautiful sea view. The pool is very nice. Breakfast is charged additionally. Overall, the catering service can be not great, and you will find the best restaurants in Candidasa. But this is a very good value! GOOD ADDRESS!

We were 6 days in Shangrila Beach resort and we had a wonderful time. When we arrived the a.c. didn't do it well and they offered us an other room which was much bigger and with fantastic seaview. And because of the trouble we got a free breakfast. The staff is very kind and helpfull. This is a good place to stay in Candidasa.

The pictures are spot on and the staff were very friendly. This is not a high end luxury resort but a quiet, feel like you're part of the family place with about 20 units and a good 100+m off the busy main road. It's an alternative to a private villa for those who want a few others around but not a crowd. This is also one of the few places in Candidasa that actually has a beach (the photo they provide of the beach is about the size of it). Stick to the sand close in unless snorkling as there is coral and we had a bad encounter with a sea urchin and spotted a stone fish (the snorkling is protected by breakwaters and the water is shallow at low tide). We were on the 2nd level and had room for 2 matresses for the kids in the living room. We had to extend an extra day and needed to move to the 3rd floor - the steps to there are a bit uneven so not for anyone with difficulty climbing but the two bedroom suite there has amazing views, great space and privacy (plus a massive fridge and a tv in every room). It's a bit more expensive than the 1 bedroom but they were kind enough to offer us a deal as we were there for 6 nights. The only downside to the resort was the noise of the roosters (bathroom vents open to the outside and windows aren't sealed closed) - I don't know if it's was just for the religious festival but they are active during daylight hours - you can't hear them from all rooms and certainly not from the public areas but earplugs might be good for late risers in some rooms. All in all though our kids loved it and it was the perfect place to unwind. One unexpected suprise was the small jacuzzi sized pool on the roof. Of note, there are only European type electrical outlets, no mixed ones like some areas in Asia.

My family stayed at John and Masako's house in candidasa and really appreciated the welcoming by staff and availability for any help needed. Jon and Masako have been great help in preparing the arrival and accomodating for our requests. Once in the villa, all was easy and location very good.

Unfortunately the beach near the house was too dirty to swim. But that is really the only thing I could criticize. We had a great week, saw a lot of Bali's landscape and a beautiful White Sand Beach. We had a really awesome week in a beautiful house.

Arrived in Depensar and was immediately greeted by the house manager! Gave us a ride to the house and a tour of the area, immediately made us feel at home. The house was great, nice and opened air and very relaxing... The pool was a bit smaller then expected but ended up being a great night time hang for everyone!

we were welcomed by the girls and they were very helpfull the place is huge and feels like 3 apartments it is close to town and we enjoyed eating at the markets next door .

John and Masako's beautiful beach side villa is the perfect getaway spot for a peaceful holiday. The property is very clean and well maintained with all the stated amenities provided, which are good quality. The team at the house work for about 8 hours, are very hard working and see to any need you have. They can organise delicious breakfast or meals, settle your laundry if any, and even arrange driver for tour etc - all without charging a premium. The property manager, Mr Cristian, is extremely helpful, who catered for our requests and helped us get local sim cards, helped us sort out a air-condition issue. He says offsite. We had a blissful time and the outdoor plunge pool is very cosy indeed. John and Masako are very quick in their communication, which help me tremendously when I had to unfortunately and on short notice, reduce my stay by a day. I thank then for letting me be a part of their beautiful fairy tale in bali!

Candidasa is a One-Street-Village. There is one main road through it. Happens that "Illegally" is right on this street. Hence, the one room towards the street was a bit loud at night. The other two, the actual main bed- and living rooms, face the sea and are wonderful. But really, even the noise was not a big issue - and the location has some weird advantages: one can watch many strange Balinese events (like an all-night-walking-marathon with lots of youths, drums etc.). Great fun! All the rooms are spacious and the view over the sea is great. Although Candidasa is on the Eastern coast of Bali, you see sort of a sunset. Not much of a beach there, but that is known and you can still just jump into the water. right in front of the house. White Sandy Beach and Blue Lagoon are around the (taxi)-corner. And: The 3-girls-staff is really, really nice and helpful. We liked it there very much.

We originally booked John and Masako’s house for 5 nights. When we arrived, we liked it so much that we extended another 3 days. It was our fortune to find their property on Airbnb. The ocean view was stunning. We spent hours sitting on the second floor bedroom with the glass sliding doors opened and fan on, gazing the ocean. It was so quiet and peaceful. We had a great time staying at the property. The communication with John and Cristian (the property manager) went seamlessly. We made comment regarding the slow internet connection on the second floor and they fixed it right away. Thank you, John and Masako, for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful villa. We will come back when we visit Bali next time. Very best wishes.

John and Masako have done everything to ensure that we, despite our late flight, yet ended up in their villa! We were picked up from the airport and in the villa and waited Iluh Nyoman us and welcomed us with a delicious fruit drink!

Het was een heerlijk verblijf op een gezellig, klein resort. De bungalow had alles wat je maar kon wensen. Daarnaast is het een heerlijke plek om buiten te zitten. Bedankt! We raden deze accomodatie zeker aan!

Beautiful place to stay. Restaurants and Marts are all nearby. We stayed there for 3 nights. Hungry Crocodile is very good food option in good price which is exactly just opposite to the entrance. Need more care with cleaning specially kitchen and refrigerator. Very close to ocean. Evening was superb with the high tides. Small pool was great. And over all, they (The Cleaning boy and The Caretaker) are very co operative. Thank you all for a great vacation. Highly Recommended.

Beautiful gardens. Caretaker Ketut very helpful.

We had a great time at Saskia's place, it was very good starting point to see the sights of the area.

Saskia's is a great place to stay. The house is as described and shown in the pictures. It's nice and quiet and great for listening to the sea all the time and you can watch the sea whenever you want from the front of the small complex. The staff are nice, friendly and efficient. The place is easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and similar. Communication with Saskia was very easy, quick and reliable. Saskia had good info & tips about the area. Definitely recommend Saskia's place.

Cute room with bathroom and kitchenette. Good air conditioning. Beautiful trees covering the walkway and you can sit and look at the water from the cafe. Great place if you want a quiet get away.

Great place to stay at Candi Dasa, the house is spacious and has all the basic needs. Close to places, beach and Tenganan village!

Het was een schoon en net huis waar we goed werden verzorgd ( ontbijt, schoonmaak en een leuke trip naar pantai beach).Het transfer van en naar het vliegveld werd goed verzorgd.

Good Location, But a bit too expensive for that what you get. There's cheaper places around.

We loved our stay here in Candidasa. Tai arranged a driver from the airport and told us the good spots to eat in town. Candidasa is a very small and quiet town compared to some of the other more westernized areas of Bali, but we enjoyed coming back here after a day of exploring in Bali to relax and grab a drink by the pool. Everyone at the resort was super friendly.

Everything about the Ocean Suite at Bayshore Villas is as described / depicted on AirBnB. Whilst Tai is an absent host, she responded promptly to any questions we had prior to our arrival and we were completely supported by the resort's staff during our stay. Whilst the Ocean Suite is a private residence within the resort it was exactly the same as staying at the resort directly. The Ocean Suite was perfect for us and child friendly...with balcony area very safe for our 22 month old boy. We had a lovely stay. Thank you Tai.

Very relaxing chilled place, the resort, staff were all lovely and very helpful. A driver and car for the day was great. Koobah taking us to many places we would never have seen on our own.

We had a lovley stay at the villa! The view was amazing, infront of the sea. We relaxed at the resort most of the days, at the infinity pool with nice drinks. Two days we went on daily tours. One day to the white sand beach, we took the boat just infront of the villa which we really liked! The other day the driver (the best ever) took us to a local market and to Pura Lempuyang. We had almost all our meels at the resort resturant, and the food was very good. A few nights we went to some local resturants with live music and amazing food. All the staff and the owner Brad are very nice and helpful! We can highly recomend Tai and John's villa!

I've seen a lot of accommodations in the world, but that was the best I've ever had. Great location, great views, great staff and a hammer accommodation. 5 star - I would highly recommend it ...

We had a lovely time at the villa. The villa was very well appointed with a fridge and a cook top. We kept meaning to buy supplies to cook stuff for ourselves, but the restaurant was lovely, and you can get a really great breakfast for about $6 or $7 dollars Australian and - hey, we were on our hols so who wants to cook anyway. There is also a water cooler in the apartment where you can get fresh cold drinking water- a great touch. Candi dasa is very quiet and peaceful, the town was very quiet, and the restaurants were only 1/2 full most of the time. I wished more people would come to help all those people with businesses in the town. We had the infinity pool just under our window and a stunning view of the ocean. We swam in the bigger pool mostly, as you could pop into the restaurant for for food, or just ask for a drink. I don't think the staff come to the infinity pool very much. I had a very interesting facial at the spa - called 'The Organic facial'. Let's say it was very invigorating. The resort was lovely, the staff were really friendly and helpful, so all in all a great holiday. My only problem - it was far too short.

A lovely peaceful setting with all the facilities of the Bayshore villa's available such as restaurant and transport.

The location is very quiet and peaceful. The pictures describe the condo perfectly. The sunset views are beautiful and the shade on the balcony much appreciated. We enjoyed our time at the pool. The resort has excellent, knowledgeable drivers who even invited us to meet their family and see a Balinese home. We enjoyed the reasonably priced breakfasts and the spa had fabulous massages. Tai was very prompt at getting back to our inquiries and checked in during our stay. Our honeymoon got Off to a great start!!!!
