Ramayana Candidasa Beach Resort

The Ramayana is an absolute slice of paradise. Located right on the ocean you can hear the waves crash and the birds sing. I had a junior suite which was extremely spacious, tastefully decorated and impeccably clean. My bed was so comfortable - like sleeping on a cloud. The pool area has lots of sun lounges and the pool itself was clean and inviting. We spent a lot of time swimming there. The restaurant was fabulous. We ate all our meals here. A delicious, fresh buffet breakfast every morning and yummy dinners too. All served at a table with a stunning view over the sea. We also appreciated the complimentary afternoon tea which was tasty and generous. The spa is one of the most beautiful I have been to Bali. I had four treatments here and they were all wonderful. The staff were gorgeous and my massages and facial left me feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The whole ambiance of the Ramayana leaves you feeling peaceful and relaxed. Koi fish filled pools along the paths, lush gardens, high ceiling pavilions and water fountains abound. The Ramayana’s greatest signature is the staff. They are all so welcoming and friendly. They always took time to say hello and many actually called me by my name. This was so touching in a world of tourism which can be quite impersonal these days. The Ramayana is an amazing hotel with a lovely, authentic Balinese welcome. This was my first trip but it definitely won’t be my last. Thank you to all the staff. We’ll be back next year.

This resort was awesome, staff were very welcoming, amazing location, great pool, we had interconnecting family room which was very roomy and very comfortable, great comfy beds. Breakfast was lovely.

We loved being right on the beach. It was amazing watching it change.....stormy and calm. The staff were amazing - friendly and super helpful. It was super relaxing and easy to access the surrounding areas with a driver. We enjoyed all meals we had at the restaurant

Fantastic hotel, staff were absolutely fantastic! So kind and helpful, the reception staff helped me arrange my transportation to my next location which was really kind. The pool area was lovely, comfortable and clean sun loungers and fantastic dinner in the evenings. The food was delicious and live music just set the ambience. I should mention the bed was soo comfortable, memory foam mattress was a dream!

The hotel is ideal for relaxation and as a base for exploring the region, but those looking for beach access or varied dining options should consider transportation needs in advance The restaurant was decent, with some good options, but eating there for all seven days became a bit monotonous.
