Not allowed to bring your own food and drinks

Resort with all villas and not much shared facilities beside a very small restaurant and spa. Spa rooms are nice with ocean villa, same with restaurant. They were not allowing you to bring your own food & drinks from outside (i.e our duty free alcohol bought from airport were "detained" at the check-in counter -- pretty ridiculous). The view is nice, the villa can use better upkeep, there is a small ants problem in the master bathroom. Service is good, but the check out experience is slow.

Family Vacation

This is my second stay in 6 months. Very disappointed that I was not informed prior that the beach tram is under maintenance and upgrading works and beach accessibility is totally inconvenient and unfriendly. One of the plus point is the private beach access, without which it takes away the unique feature of Karma Kandara. I would not have booked if I had known I can’t access the beach conveniently. In addition, I thought the villa is a little run down, with the toilet systems not functioning properly and falling apart. Another feedback is that the restaurant should serve some bar bites/snack food.

Very relaxing, nice beach, nice view from Di Mare restaurant. Resort is a bit secluded and lack of activities. Would be good if activities like yoga, sauna are free to enjoy.

Very nice hotel right by the beach

The hotel is amazing, the beach , the food at the restaurant, etc. The staff however, despite being very friendly, they are just SO slow, it ruins a big part of the experience.

Karma K for a short birthday trip

Few days away for my birthday with the family (wife and 2 young boys) was made that much better by excellent customer service. My eldest has an eating disorder and we are not the easiest of families to accommodate when travelling but the staff were excellent and didn't make us feel like anything was too much trouble. The villa facilities were fantastic as was the beach club and kids club. The setting is amazing from the restaurant views to the chilled out mood and white sand at the beach club. Highly recommended and we could go back as soon as possible. PS the buggy rides are also especially exciting.

Very good with potential to be exceptional...

Karma Kandara is one of those iconic hotels in Bali. Its pool and beach have been featured in countless publications. The compound is truly impressive, the villas are gorgeous and very spacious. The setting is truly its strongest asset. Service was top notch. I found it a bit disappointing that breakfast included is only continental, no eggs or other items. Gym is also too small and too dated for this property. Some areas in the villas are looking a bit tired but nothing too serious. Absolutely recommended if manage to get a special rate.

Décevant

Hôtel très décevant. La vu et la plage sont vraiment magnifique. Cependant, les villas avec vu mer sont ridicules (la mer est ce voit a peine...). Nous avons payé un supplément très honnêreux pour avoir la villa front de mer. Villa magnifique ! Le petit déjeuner inclus est vraiment bon est copieux. Nous sommes très déçus du service où toutes nos demandes ont étaient refusés (donner en chambre, petit déjeuner en chambre, ...). Pour couronner le tout, nous avions pris cette hôtel pour sont accès privé à la plage et le beach club, mais cette accès a été bloqué toute une journée complète interdisant laccés à la plage et de ses activités. Juste honteux pour le prix payé très largement au dessus de la moyenne pour Bali ! Je déconseille

Wonderful view, poor service!

You have to be aware of '66%' satisfaction of checkin! Karma kandara is famous for ‘reasonable’ pool villa in bali.It has stunning view, nice facilities and brilliant beach. Than why is it cheaper than Banyan tree or Ayana villas?Do the people who uses there are only who want to waste their money?Not at all. The secret of karma kandara’s price is service We arrived in resort at around 12:30PM. They said that they will offer ‘EARLY’ checkin as soon as our room is ready. Yeah, about 90 minutes were left so we trusted it. They said we can wait in beach or waiting room. As we traveled with grandmother over 70 years old, we chose to wait in waiting room. Guess what? They took us in the empty villa which is right beside the construction site, and we were in there for over 2 hours! Tired of hearing the crashing sound of rocks, we called reception several time and they promised to send a buggy car. But NO one came to there even after 2:00 PM, their original checkin time! As my mom remembered the room number on tag of our luggage(they didn`t notice us), we walked to our room. It was still filled with rock`s noise. We protested the lateness of checkin and buggy, and they offered upgrade to us-yes, bad luck brought good luck maybe-but our mini bar was empty at all, and the baggage of prior guests were still there Also to put an air in our pool toy, we had to request THREE times for it!I have been several pool villas which has similar price to here, and NO villa was slow like here!
