The view is fantastic but customer service is not great.
Beautiful spot on the cliff.
Overpriced accommodation. Too far away from the authentic hustle & bustle of Bali. Staff very good.

Beautiful place and happy with the villa. The spa has super views and the beach was nice but the hill tram down to the beach was not working one day. Be prepared for a staff member who tries to sell you timeshare and was quite pushy about meeting up without being clear from the outset about what the meeting was for. It was very, very expensive to stay here so we had high expectations. But, my husband and I stayed in 10 hotels over the month that we travelled around Bali.....there were many hotels that were equally nice or even more super but nothing like as expensive as this one, so it was not good value for money in my opinion.
We went on a girls trip, great villa size and pool! Breakfast could be better but overall good exp!

The place is magnificent but the monkeys are a big problem jumping on the tables at breakfast. Not cute but aggressive. Also all over the balcony in the villa eating the cushions of the outdoor furniture. Such a shame because this place would be heaven without those monkeys.

2 night stay at Karma Kandara
Resort is well laid out with access to a lovely private beach and the gardens are very well maintained. The restaurant needs an overhaul. We enjoyed a morning yoga session and the Gym is small but functional. Our villa was tired looking. The bed wasn't comfy and the sheets and pillow covers didn't smell fresh. The nightly rate reflects that the resort has seen better days
Hôtel très décevant. La vu et la plage sont vraiment magnifique. Cependant, les villas avec vu mer sont ridicules (la mer est ce voit a peine...). Nous avons payé un supplément très honnêreux pour avoir la villa front de mer. Villa magnifique ! Le petit déjeuner inclus est vraiment bon est copieux. Nous sommes très déçus du service où toutes nos demandes ont étaient refusés (donner en chambre, petit déjeuner en chambre, ...). Pour couronner le tout, nous avions pris cette hôtel pour sont accès privé à la plage et le beach club, mais cette accès a été bloqué toute une journée complète interdisant laccés à la plage et de ses activités. Juste honteux pour le prix payé très largement au dessus de la moyenne pour Bali ! Je déconseille
You have to be aware of '66%' satisfaction of checkin!
Karma kandara is famous for ‘reasonable’ pool villa in bali.It has stunning view, nice facilities and brilliant beach. Than why is it cheaper than Banyan tree or Ayana villas?Do the people who uses there are only who want to waste their money?Not at all. The secret of karma kandara’s price is service
We arrived in resort at around 12:30PM. They said that they will offer ‘EARLY’ checkin as soon as our room is ready. Yeah, about 90 minutes were left so we trusted it. They said we can wait in beach or waiting room. As we traveled with grandmother over 70 years old, we chose to wait in waiting room. Guess what? They took us in the empty villa which is right beside the construction site, and we were in there for over 2 hours!
Tired of hearing the crashing sound of rocks, we called reception several time and they promised to send a buggy car. But NO one came to there even after 2:00 PM, their original checkin time!
As my mom remembered the room number on tag of our luggage(they didn`t notice us), we walked to our room. It was still filled with rock`s noise. We protested the lateness of checkin and buggy, and they offered upgrade to us-yes, bad luck brought good luck maybe-but our mini bar was empty at all, and the baggage of prior guests were still there
Also to put an air in our pool toy, we had to request THREE times for it!I have been several pool villas which has similar price to here, and NO villa was slow like here!
My experience at Karma Kandara certainly didnt meet my expectations of a luxury resort. Although the design of the resort if beautiful, the staff’s awaremess of certain industry standard service quality is weak, e.g. when we called them for a buggy, they somply told us to wait for 15min wothout giving a reason, AND, when we waited waited and called and waited, a buggy finally appeared but the driver told us we were not his assigned guests... Also, as we were traveling with a young baby, we requested for a late checkout. While the staff promised us to check with his supervisor and get back the next day, he never did (we ended up calling the front desk to chase and had to explain our situation to another staff all over again). The same issue happened with our booking of in villa bbq. Toothbrush was missing when we checked in. Also, check in was a bit chaotic as rhe front desk was small and guests weren't told who was first or how long they would have to wait for their room. Staff at the beach was friendly though.

Undoubtedly an amazing beach and beautiful resort. Villa was a little run down and my friend got badly bitten by bed bugs on the last night. When we told them, they just apologised and stared at us. They ran out of most items on the menu at the beach club, the day after an event. Just not what you'd expect at a 5 star resort. For the amount you pay service could be much better overall.

다시 방문하고 싶은 곳이네요
그리스 같이 너무 이쁘고 아기자기한 리조트입니다
다만 화장실 물이 깨끗하게 나오지 않아서
욕조에 물 받아보고 물 색깔이 누래서 좀 찝찝해서 샤워할때 찝찝함 빼고는 다 좋았습니다
조식 먹는 곳도 너무 유명한 레스토랑으로 전경도 멋지고 바닷가도 이뻐서 다음에 꼬옥 한번 더 가고픈 곳입니다

Not allowed to bring your own food and drinks
Resort with all villas and not much shared facilities beside a very small restaurant and spa. Spa rooms are nice with ocean villa, same with restaurant. They were not allowing you to bring your own food & drinks from outside (i.e our duty free alcohol bought from airport were "detained" at the check-in counter -- pretty ridiculous). The view is nice, the villa can use better upkeep, there is a small ants problem in the master bathroom. Service is good, but the check out experience is slow.

This is my second stay in 6 months. Very disappointed that I was not informed prior that the beach tram is under maintenance and upgrading works and beach accessibility is totally inconvenient and unfriendly. One of the plus point is the private beach access, without which it takes away the unique feature of Karma Kandara. I would not have booked if I had known I can’t access the beach conveniently. In addition, I thought the villa is a little run down, with the toilet systems not functioning properly and falling apart. Another feedback is that the restaurant should serve some bar bites/snack food.

Beautiful villa on top of a cliff
We chose to stay at karma Kandara for part of our honeymoon. It was such a beautiful location for a relaxing holiday. Staff were fantastic and food was great.
Our biggest struggle was how much you had to rely on using the buggy’s to get anywhere. We couldn’t even get to reception or the main restaurant without using them and in busy times you could be left waiting in the heat for 40minutes for them to come pick you up.
Overall perfect for a few nights stay but no longer.
The property is located at the south most tip of Bali. It is on a cliff and has an elevator to go down to the beach. Beach itself is clean & good. There is also a restaurant just on the beach which serves some amazing food.
The property is large and has carts to move around but not that many hence always plan to step out of your villa. Villas are awesome and well kept. Though the kitchen in villas could be more equipped with basic stuff like tea, coffee, salt pepper, sugar, etc.
Breakfast definitely needs improvement. Resort gives a choice of American/European/Continental breakfast. Instead they should have a buffet spread.
The property although is located beautifully...it is isolated and there is lack of transport available.

Lack of consistency.
Honest feedback. This property needs a good overhaul with quality control. The matresses are rock solid no comfort. Staff put a quilt and an additional protector. Food and beverage overpriced and inconsistent quality. Beware you will have to buy water at all their restaurants. Great location but will need a vehicle to get to nearest village / shop. Beach superb remote from property on the hill but has a condolo to shuttle 4 people at a time. Staff friendliness excellent.
The resort is lovely, the restaurant is a bit over priced and not of value (paying Sydney prices for small servings and little selection). The property is still beautiful but starting to age. Overall had a good time and lovely will visit again.

Too expensive for a very much average quality
The beach is great. The view from the cliff is amazing.
Unfortunately, when you compare the level of the staff (below average), the quality of the food (very average, lack of taste), the spa (below average quality of massage) and the service in general it is well below what you will find in Seminyak for example.
As a conclusion, the stay at Karma Kandara is way overpriced for what you get. We actually only enjoyed the amazing beach, which btw you can visit and spend the day at without having to pay 500 USD/NIGHT.
Finally, when you book an ocean view villa like we did you do actually get only a partial view villa ! the type of these villas is misleading for customers...
