There can be few views in East Bali to compare with the one from the Tirta Ayu Restaurant looking over the beautiful Tirta Gangga Water Palace gardens. Newly refurbished, this British-run restaurant sets a high standard with a very extensive menu and friendly, helpful staff who will even remember your name on return visits. Enjoy a leisurely visit to the... More

It's December and my wife and I are currently staying at the Tirta Atu water palace. We are loving it. The staff are attentive but not over-burdening and they are exceptionally polite and friendly. We've just done a cookery class with the head chef, who is not only only superb cook but also a great teacher. The hotel also offers... More

What an honor to stay INSIDE the gates of the Water Palace and to walk the paths at your leisure at sunrise or sunset. The grounds were small and cozy, the room comfortable. It was wonderful to have meals on the terrace, as the restaurant was under re-construction and a bit noisy (which distracted from the peaceful ambiance). I recommend... More
