Hotels near Pura Dang Kahyangan Gading Wani, Bali

For this price catagory the guest rooms were very well decked out - TV, jug and coffee/tea, fridge, cool furniture, the first place in Bali (been coming to bali for many years) that had a nice duvet on the bed, not too hot just perfect ... shower and bathroom not the largest but all wonderful. rooms on ground floor opening up to inner courtyard pool area, so facilities all epic for price level. Breakfast was included just very simple though. We would recommend to the kitchen to work on their range of menu options and quality of cooking for lunches and dinners, it could be our choices of food so don't wish to judge the whole menu in any way. Other than that can recommend staying here, it's very close to beachfront, definately walkable.. as we travel for quite a while in Bali we are grateful to see accommodation facilities of this quality at affordable prices to work in with our budget.

We stayed at Gaja Mina Resort Balian, in late June 2023. The place was underwhelming. The setting in a large rambling garden is quite lovely, with a walk out to the headland with great views but the resort's gardens and buildings are poorly maintained with piles of rotting compost, construction fences, partially cut trees (logs), scattered litter, unemptied rubbish bins, neglected and broken furniture and water features that were dried up or contained stagnant water infested with mosquito lava. My sons room was grim, concrete and basic, think prison cell, ill matched furniture, with a toilet that regurgitated what went into it (disgusting), a shower that only had cold water and gave you an electric shock when you used it. My room although quite charming in a traditional but dilapidated way had a family of cockroaches in the bedside table, most of the window stays and catches were broken. Without a shower screen or curtain, use the shower and wash the floor at the same time. Annoying and mould making. The lighting was so poor you could not read in the room. In the tropics its nice to sleep with fresh air under a mosquito net (yes there is malaria in Bali), but lack of flyscreens and only a duvet means you have to sleep with ac cold enough to justify a duvet. That’s energy efficient. NOT. There is a pool area with a bar. The bar was always closed and there was no staff to provide drinks (even in the restaurant next to it), so we got them from a local shop about 10 minutes walk away. The pool had mold all around the edge. I suspect they did not use chlorine in it. There was not enough umbrellas if more than two families were there. The restaurant food is ordinary and very expensive; the internal dining room smelt of stale food and damp. Everyone I saw requested salt and pepper to make the food edible, including on their pizzas. My prawns were only just edible, suffering greatly from blandness. The fresh coconut juice directly from a coconut tasted of water not coconut. When I brought it up with the staff he dismissed my concern. The restaurant was also the most expensive in Balian. Considering the waiters did not come to the tables to take orders, barely moved and provided the most meagre level of surly service, the 10% restaurant service charge included on the bill at the end was a complete mystery. Although our tariff noted that included return transfers to the airport, they wanted me to pay for it. 24 hours prior to leaving I provided my voucher to reception but they insisted I contact the resort Owner to sort it out. She did not answer my calls or texts; finally an hour before departure her only response was that she was in a meeting. She is a disgrace. This place is wildly over-priced, horribly neglected and staffed by the most unhappy people I met in Bali. Even the airport security staff were friendlier. It could be so much more.

I was there for a yoga retreat and cannot say enough good things about Kusfarm Bali. The sound of the quiet, the birds singing, and the rushing steam below...these are things you can't see in the beautiful photos but they add a lot to the experience. Also, they hire staff locally, so one night we were able to borrow a guitar, and the staff member we borrowed it from actually came and played for us and sang for us.The young Balinese dancers from the first night dinner came back to help us learn to make offerings. It is not a cookie cutter hotel you get extra special touches that you can't get from a big chain hotel. Loved it!

I had such a restorative stay at Amarta and hope to be able to return there again some day. I stayed in an Ocean Jacuzzi Suite which are located above the restaurant. I loved being able to lounge around on the veranda. There was a very comfortable day bed and the jacuzzi. The Jacuzzi functions more as a small pool as there isn't enough hot water to fill it. It takes over an hour to fill so I was happy to leave it full over a few days. One thing to note for these rooms is that at night, the silhouette of people showering is visible through the frosted glass from people below. I didn't leave the resort for the 5 nights I stayed there and enjoyed the food from the restaurant for meals either in the restaurant or in my room. The breakfasts were very generous and delicious. I enjoyed a massage at the spa. The sunsets each night are stunning.

We rented the double bungalows just for one night. The location to get away from the busy areas was great. It's just a simple, non-touristy village, rice fields and easy access to an empty beach. Because that beach is less touristy it also means the beach doesn't get much clean up. There was a solid swell hitting the beach, closing out on the day I was there but on the right swell direction it could offer a decent quiet surf. Not much else to do there within walking distance. The bungalows and private pool and lounge area was impressive and great value for the $. The service was good and the food menu simple but fine. We walked up the beach to a larger resort for two of our three meals. Would I go back there? Yeah I would.

Goood places.

Living in Alila, compared to Suli will be better. The only disadvantage is that the distance is a bit remote, but there are not many tourists, and the accommodation experience is very good. The service attitude is very good, the scenery is beautiful, and there are no shortcomings except for the location. Facilities: good good Hygiene: good Environment: good good Service: good good

It’s our first visit to WakaGangga and the villa with pool garden view certainly did not disappoint. Warm hospitality was extended to us from the reception to the restaurant staff and even extending to the housekeeping department throughout our one night stay. They were extremely accommodating to our every request. A late check out surprise till 6pm was even offered to us without we asking and at no charges. Bottles of drinking water were also given readily and sent to us swiftly. Everyone at the villa is committed to making our stay a truly memorable one. And it truly is as it’s a belated birthday present given by my brother! A little suggestion would be delightful if more food selection are included at the restaurant. Thank you to all the team at WakaGangga and we will definitely come back again. Well done!
