Great food, people, pool, & the most comfortable bed ever!
Pros:

We stayed 11 nights here. Most comfortable bed we ever slept in! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Pool was clean with plenty of umbrella seating. Restaurant was excellent. Before we booked, I read a review that said to not include the breakfast buffet - that was terrible advice! Definitely would book with breakfast next time, there were many options and everything was delicious.
There is currently a construction project on the beach to stop erosion. There is some noise during the daytime, but we did not find it to be terribly intrusive. Safety zones are well set up and the crews work only daytime hours.
The spa was excellent as well. I took in a Lomi-Lomi massage and it was just what I needed to get out the post airplane kinks.
Would definitely go back to this resort. Also, it is well located for access to day trips to all the popular places.

It’s a very very nice hotel , if you search relax that’s your place
Pros:

If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, Candidasa is the place to go. Ramayana Candidasa is a wonderful choice for combining relaxation, beach time, and great food with excellent service.
The rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff is exceptional — very kind, caring, and attentive. The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious dishes, and the service is truly very good.
They also have a beautiful spa center with highly skilled therapists. The view from the hotel’s pool is absolutely stunning.
In addition, the hotel has a large and beautifully maintained garden area, which makes the whole atmosphere even more special.

Magical Valentines meal
Pros:

My partner and I had the pleasure of dining at 'Gapu' restaurant for valentines day, the experience from start to finish was just magical.
We were seated overlooking the ocean, the staff were delightful and our three course meal was to die for.
We would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Outstanding stay ! Special thanks to Sari and hookey
Pros:

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Ramayana Candidasa Beach Resort. The resort itself is stunning, peaceful, and perfectly located right by the ocean.
What truly made our holiday unforgettable, however, was the outstanding staff. We want to give a special shout-out to:
Sari at the restaurant: Her warmth and attentive service made every meal a highlight.
Hookey at the front desk: He was incredibly professional and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.
The entire team makes you feel so welcome. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway with top-tier service, this is the place to be. We will definitely be back!

Beyond 5 Stars – A Royal Experience for our first Bali Trip! ​Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pros:

Our first visit to Bali was nothing short of a dream, and staying at the Ramayana Candidasa was the best decision we could have made. The resort radiates an extraordinary 5-star ambiance that you feel in every corner—from the stunning grounds to the peaceful atmosphere.
​My girlfriend and I were treated with such profound and genuine heart that we felt like royalty throughout our entire stay. The hospitality here isn't just professional; it’s deeply sincere, often leaving us touched by the staff's kindness.
​The culinary experience is also "on top." Every dish we tried at the restaurant was exceptional, matching the high standards of the rest of the resort.
​However, what truly made our stay stand out was Hookey. He looked after our well-being every single day, going above and beyond to make our stay even more beautiful than we thought possible. His dedication and warmth are remarkable, and he is a true asset to this resort.
​The Ramayana Candidasa leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. It was a perfect stay, and we are already looking forward to returning next year. Highly recommended!

Our 3rd stay – A true paradise with a heart!"
Pros:

"We have just confirmed our third visit to Ramayana Candidasa for 2027, and it is honestly the place we look forward to the most. It has become our 'home away from home' on Bali.
​A very special and heartfelt thank you goes to Hookey. His dedication to the guests is unmatched; he is the true heart of the hospitality here and always goes the extra mile to ensure every stay is perfect. His kindness and professional care make all the difference.
​Furthermore, the entire staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The restaurant serves some of the best food we’ve had on the island, and the spa treatments are professional, relaxing, and absolutely world-class. If you are looking for a peaceful paradise with a soul, you must visit Ramayana Candidasa. We can't wait to be back!"

Oceanfront hotel.
Pros:

Oceanfront hotel (not beachfront as there is no beach) with very nice rooms and lovely Balinese decor across the resort. Unfortunately there is not much nearby once you have eaten once or twice at the restaurant. Excellent value for money if you just wish to sit by the pool looking at the ocean.

Amazing hotel ❤️
Pros:

We spent 8 nights there and its one of the best resorts we have stayed in Bali and even worldwide. Unbeatable beachfront location with a stunning pool and beautiful rooms and immaculate gardens that are very well kept by lots of staff every day.We stayed in the deluxe room and it was more than enough for us as we didn’t spend too much time in the room. I asked for a quiet room so it was absolutely perfect for that as the cottages are around the pool and probably much busier.

Restaurant is also amazing, although very expensive for Bali. Regardless we ate there most days because its right on the water, breakfast buffet is also huge and great.

Spa is one of the most beautiful spas in Bali also surrounded by Koi fish and huge rooms and amazing Balinese massage.

Great gym with beautiful garden views.

All the staff is also so great and super friendly ❤️

Only con is the shower pressure and temperature was really bad, had to wait for hot water 2-3 minutes and then it was scorching, it was hard to get the right temperature. Also no hair conditioner which is very unusual for a 4-5 star hotel, even cheap ones have it. Had to walk 20 minutes to buy a conditiner from a mini mart.

Location is a bit away from the main area so you can walk or take a scooter, no grab in Candidasa, just private drivers that charge quite a lot.

Definitely would stay there again! ❤️

Lovely resort situated on the waterfront

Lovely hotel and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Rooms are large and clean and serviced every day which doesn’t happen in a lot of hotels and resorts. The restaurant is amazing and overlooks the ocean. Meals are good too. Well worth a visit!

Perfect getaway to paradise
Pros:

Well what can I say, just perfect. We spent 7 nights in lovely luxury, well for us anyway. My first time to Bali at 55 years old and it was recommended as a quieter place to stay. We arrived at 3am in the morning and from the first interaction it was just perfect. Everyone was so nice and polite. Our room was a pool side villa. Lovely, comfortable, great position. Everything was spotless and very clean. We were just a 20 minute walk into the main part of Candidasa so easy to to get around. The reception helped us with all out tours. The onsite spa (massage) although more expensive than in town was just wonderful. The restaurant and pool service was great. Nothing was a problem.
Breakfast buffet was very adequate and set you up for the day.
The gardens are spectacular.
Overall perfect for my wife and I.

Very average
Pros:

This hotel has seen better days. We were in a tired, dated room in the back of the hotel. Very basic.
The pool area was nice, but no beach at all. I could stay at any hotel and swim in a pool.
A bit of walk to town, so you are pretty much eating at the hotel, unless you taxi in.
Food at the restaurant was very average and expensive.

Nice but way too big...your standard anywhere in the world room.
Pros:

Nice but massive hotel ! Nice room but it could be a room anywhere in the world, your classic hotel room. Had to look outside to remind myself that I was in Bali.
Nice pool, nice garden, friendly and helpful staff, great food, although only had breakfast there.
The pool and restaurant were quite a distance from my room.
All in all, nice hotel if you like a conformist room.
