Karma Kandara

Overall we were happy with the resort. The staff were friendly. The kids club was fun for the kids. We were not happy with the 3 bedroom configuration, being in separate buildings was not suitable for my young family.

After a somewhat crazy flight with our 2 young kids (4 + 2) and a slow airport exit and trip to Karma, we were very lucky and stoked to be upgraded to a huge 4 bedroom Villa with an equally large outdoor area and ocean views - it literally took our breath away. The Villa itself was very clean and the bathrooms were immaculate. There was an outdoor cabana with a plunge pool and another area full of day beds for relaxing/sunbaking. The location of Karma is very secluded and quiet, driving there during the day you feel like you are in the real Bali. The property overlooks the ocean and is landscape designed to perfection! The lift down to Karma Beach is fast and easy and the view is amazing. The food was quite nice but due to it's remote location I'm assuming, a bit expensive. Breakfast wasn't included unfortunately so we tried the breakfast at the restaurant the first day and it was nice, but when we eat breakfast we want the works! It's our fuel for the day and I found the meals very small and overpriced. The coffee was ok, but just not amazing enough for us to go to the restaurant again. The Karma Beach Club food and vibe was really cool, you could lounge on the daybeds all day ordering cocktails, sushi and even trying different flavours of the shisha pipe. Still...very pricey though. Kids Club was amazing although we thought our 2 year old could participate (as the website advised from 2 years) but he needed to be supervised by an adult. We also experienced a wedding the weekend we stayed - as our Villa was really close to the main Restaurant/Pool area, we could hear every word the MC was saying and the music was horrendous! Luckily my kids slept through it along with their fireworks, but I would've definitely appreciated a little heads up from the staff that the wedding was about to take place. Overall we absolutely loved our time at Karma Kandara - I would stay there again but maybe not until I've retired and prefer to stay far away from the crowds and am cashed up enough to do so.. ;-)

We recently enjoyed a great stay at Karma Kandara. This was our second stay and we were accommodated in a 2 bedroom villa very spacious and comfortable. The kids say this is now their second home! Will always return. Very friendly and helpful staff.

6 friends shared a 3 bedroom villa, for 7 nights. It was spacious, very comfortable, equipped with kitchen facilities and came with its own very nice pool. The bedrooms were spaced out on three separate levels, each with its own outdoor balcony area and two with outdoor bathrooms. We took great advantage of the very nice beach area, using the outgoing tide for excellent snorkelling. We breakfasted each morning by the pool with wonderful views of the ocean far below. Apart from the breakfasts we didn't find the food as good as it might have been and chose to eat out most evenings. The staff were wonderful - very friendly, polite, and eager to make sure we had an enjoyable stay. Although Karma Kandara is out of the way and requires at least a taxi ride to go anywhere, the view and the beach well and truly make up for that and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Beautiful place to stay. Villas were very spacious and clean.The beach is lovely and clean and great beach resturants and bars. Great service from staff. Great food and cocktails. Beautiful infinity pools.
