    I read the earlier reviews which were very flattering for the resort.To be fair there were many plus points that I agree with. Firstly, about the staff and how friendly and helpful they were... The restaurant staff, reception and telephone operators are what one would expect of a Gold Crown resort...

    ...Stayed 6 nights in Deluxe cottage. Really enjoyed our stay here, what a fantastic hotel, lovely comfortable beds, excellent staff in all areas of the hotel, super helpful... Loved the heated pool, the hotel has a very serene ambience and has a beautiful, quiet garden at the opposite end to the sea where the great little gym and ballroom are located... We used the spa for massage, reflexology and facial all of which were excellent... The restaurant was good, serving a lovely breakfast however we thought that the menu for lunch / dinner was a bit limited...

    Treat yourself for a few days or long stay at Ramayana Candi Dasa Resort. From arrival to departure we loved every minute spent at the resort... The smiles are endless along with greetings from every single staff member you pass... A traditional Balinese Resort, The room is spacious, clean and comfortable, complete with safe, complimentary water, usual amenities and complimentary toiletries, all with balconies... The pool was clean and fresh, situated beside the ocean, with breathtaking views of close by islands, fishing boats, and ships passing by... The food is amazing, restaurant catering to everyone’s needs, provides a variety of local food to international cuisine, a very reasonably priced menu, with great service... The hotel also offers a free shuttle bus service to the central area which is worth a visit... Couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to stay for our time in Candi Dasa...

    ...The staff couldn’t do enough for us, so friendly and helpful. The restaurant had far more choice than we were expecting, the signature menu was delicious and such great value... The cocktails are also great - with high quality ingredients and we were always made to feel so welcome at the restaurant and pool area... The spa is also wonderful, you must try the 60 min full body massage!... It’s an idyllic location with birds singing and the sounds of water, and also check out the zen garden!...

    ...Lovely beachfront hotel set in beautiful gardens. A little out of the main town centre but the hotel runs a daily free shuttle service into town and some of the restaurants in town will pick you up and return you to the hotel after your meal at no cost... The staff were exceptional and will organize scooter hire, taxi's, tours, etc, with no problem at all...

The roads leading to the hotel betray little of what lies within the resort. A taste of authentic Balinese elegance - minus the tardiness of commercialisation. Simple. Peaceful. Tasteful. Restful . Beautiful.

We love this hotel, we have a great room that over looks the ocean, pool and restaurant. All night we can hear the waves breaking. The restaurant has wonderful views out to sea and the staff are super friendly. The room we have is great, everything is close and it is a nice size to keep it very friendly, no vast restaurants. We did the cooking class and this also includes a trip to the market with the chef, who shows you around and helps you to buy unusual food, (well unusual to us, like Dragon fruit). We also went to see how sea salt is collected and this was one women doing the work in a small hut on the beach, then we stopped at the Batcave temple, totally fantastic. Back to hotel for a swim and lazy pool hour, then into the restaurant where it was all set up for us. The chief was great and showed us how to cook 4 dishes, which we then sat down to eat. So much food with extra food put into. I really recommend this one, I have been to a few around the world and this was my best one.

The resort is by the ocean giving a perfect setting for the swimming pool which is exactly as shown in the photographs! There is no beach access . We booked this resort as a Time Share exchange for 2 weeks but upgraded our room to a Junior Suite before we arrived . Our Junior Suite (room 234) is a lovely ground floor room quite close to the pool and waterfront. We have already reserved room 244 ( a first floor room with sea views from the balcony) for 2024. Our room was spacious ,comfortable ,clean and well equipped. Wifi was fine although it did drop from time to time. The room was cleaned every day. The restaurant is by the waterfront giving super views over the pool. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast every day . Breakfast is buffet style with plenty of variety including hot dishes which changed daily.Eggs cooked to order. We also had dinner in the restaurant on several nights.Again lovely food with both asian and western options although the menu could be more extensive. What makes this resort super special is the staff.They are all absolutely charming and really do make it a lovely place to be. Reception ,restaurant , poolside, cleaning and gardeners all greet you with a "hello" and a smile. My wife and I both enjoyed massages and can highly recommend the spa although there are many cheaper options in Candidasa. As far as Candidasa is concerned, this is a small town in a lovely area but as others have said there is little by way of shopping . Suggest you get your retail therapy in Sanur and then arrange a transfer to Candidasa. You can arrange your transfers with the hotel - we found their transfer prices very reasonable. There are plenty of dining options in Candidasa and most restaurants and Warungs provide a free pick up/drop off service which makes dining out very easy.Food was invariably good or very good. We liked it so much we have booked to return next year!

We stayed here for 2 nights on our trip of Bali. Rooms okay, pool nice except for the ever selfish aged individuals who feel to reserve a sun bed early in the morning. Hotels in general should not allow this. No shops or restaurants in the area so you are basically stuck to the hotel for food and drinks. Food for lunch and dinner is okay, but breakfast buffet food not very warm even at 8 am. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Definitely a good hotel when you’re on a roundtrip.

Upon arrival the welcome of super friendly staff was highly appreciated. Throughout our stay the customer service was excellent (I'd a leg injury and they asked everyday if I needed ice package and how is your leg). We had the pleasure to visit the SPA. During our stay at multiple places in and around Bali: the BEST SPA so far ! ! The ZEN atmosphere, the kindness of the personnel, the ambiance and the chooses in massages would be gradeble a above 5 stars ♥️ Overal a recommendable experience and one I won't exclude to return to.....but than more days 🥰

The Ramayana at Candidasa was the last stop on our holiday, having already been to KL and Ubud. The long driveway from the road means that it’s so so peaceful and the cooling sea breeze is very nice. We had a wonderful time here, the staff are all so so friendly and are always happy to help. The food in the restaurant was great, with delicious local dishes and some western alternatives to satisfy the less adventurous. The pool is amazing, the best I’ve been in and temperature was absolutely spot on. Breakfast is not as expansive as some hotels but it changes each day and the fresh cooked eggs/omelettes are cooked to your taste. Loved the Balinese coffee also. The only reason for four stars and not five, is that the rooms are getting a little bit tired but they were always spotlessly cleaned, with lovely fresh linen. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to revisit the Ramayana and would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff for making our family holiday really relaxing and enjoyable.

The staff made sure we were spoiled and it was a warm welcome. After 8 days we are sad to say farewell and will hopefully be able to return one day to this great hotel. The food was delicious and spa treatments were very relaxing. We booked snorkeling trips and sightseeing tours, frontdesk did everything to make sure all trips and outings were organised as asked for. The gardens were beautifully tended. A dream holiday!

I read the earlier reviews which were very flattering for the resort.To be fair there were many plus points that I agree with. Firstly, about the staff and how friendly and helpful they were. The restaurant staff, reception and telephone operators are what one would expect of a Gold Crown resort. The only restaurant served good and reasonably priced meals but breakfast was limited in choice of cuisine. However, not enough variety for a 7- day stay. So my wife and I checked out 2 nights earlier to another hotel in Nusa Dua. Frankly, the room we were assigned was old and in need of renovation. I couldn't help wondering whether it's because we asked or a room change, from the 3rd floor to ground floor as there were no lifts and we both had knee problems. We got one on the 1st floor which wasn't too bad a climb. However, the toilet door creaked, the television was facing downwards. These were rectified but we shouldn't have had to ask that of Gold Crown resort. The grounds were immaculate and well-maintained. In terms of activities, there isn't much to do although there was some organised activities like yoga. Wifi was excellent.
