If this is your ‘once in a lifetime’ trip to Bali, and you’re only picking one place to stay the whole time, avoid the Waka Gangga. You’ll regret it. Pick a place that has many good reviews from TripAdvisor users and you’ll be happy. Summary: I think all of my issues\complaints, which are about to follow, can be traced to... more

The Waka Gangga is beautifully located in a cluster of rice paddies above the ocean. Very remote from any kind of activity and with nothing to distract from the beautiful scenery, which is just what we wanted. The stay was very enjoyable and the staff genuinely friendly. However, the hotel is obviously suffering from somewhat apathetic management, which is sad... more

We knew that the Waka Gangga was in a secluded area, but I guess we weren't quite prepared for how really remote it is! If you do not have your own transport, the hotel receptionist will tell you that it takes 45minutes for the taxi service to arrive at the hotel, and a trip to the Kuta area will take... more

I came here on my honeymoon back in august 2004. We loved the place. Each villa is surrounded by sloping rice terraces which fringe a sparkling black sand beach on the edge of the Indian Ocean. The place is what My Husband said "The perfect place to find serenity". It's just amazing to see the rice terrace standing side by... more

The location is perfect if you like to be in an isolated, luxury and non touristy spot, with on one side the sea and on the other side the ricefields. The local people use the beach in their own way, riding motorcycles, having a snack, taking a walk and standing in the sea. The bungalows were really nice, especially the... more

We began our honeymoon in Bali at this very romantic secluded spot. We were one of only a few people at the hotel and we felt that the whole complex was ours. The site is beautiful from every direction and it is hard to do anything but take a bath or shower in the gorgeous garden bathrooms, look at the... more

Waka Gangga is a real gem. I have nothing to add to the positive reviews of others. It was just perfect to dive into vacation mode after a long flight. The hotel is not for small children and also not for adventure people but perfect for couples who like to dive into a quite world in the real Bali. For... more

We stayed for 3 nights at the Waka Gangga resort in the middle of anywhere as our driver put it. This was absolutely true, we were in the middle of the ricefields, overlooking the rough waves of the ocean. The hotel is aboslutely amazing, location is perfect for a relaxing hide-away. The restaurant is good, beautiful pool which is nearly... more

Ten individual bungalows surrounded by small rice paddies and water gardens, a small swimming pool and a spectacular restaurant on a raised structure overlooking the sea. The rooms are well furnished with spacious walled in open air bathrooms. The staff were extremely helpful and unlike a previous reviewer we had no problems getting the horse ride on the beach and... more
