Our Review
Ramayana Candidasa Beach Resort is one of eastern Bali's most established 4-star resort options, sitting directly on the waterfront in Candidasa village. The resort earns consistently good reviews for its serene tropical gardens, spacious ocean-view rooms and the relaxed atmosphere that Candidasa is known for. Guests frequently praise the pool area, which has ample umbrellas and sunbeds with towels provided, and the spa is cited as a particular highlight — offering treatments at very reasonable prices compared to Seminyak or Ubud. Staff service is generally warm and attentive. The grounds are well-maintained and feel genuinely resort-like with Balinese architecture and lush planting. One important note for guests: the resort fronts the ocean but the beach immediately in front is not a swimable stretch — guests need to walk or take a short scooter ride to reach a public beach. The restaurant receives mixed feedback, with some reviewers finding the food expensive relative to the quality on offer. For those exploring eastern Bali and wanting a peaceful, well-priced resort base, Ramayana Candidasa remains a well-regarded option at an 8.6 rating.
