Karma Kandara

We had a great time on our first visit as Karma members. We joined last year, and this was our first holiday using points. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, had great food, met lovely people, and explored Ungasan and Uluatu activities. We found a nice local spa in the village and treated ourselves to a fabulous Karma spa experience.

Editing this review for the second time to accurately reflect on my one week stay. The property is gorgeous, and has stunning cliffside views. The infrastructure is in place for an excellent resort. Unfortunately this is let down by three factors: 1. Use of cheap amenities and products everywhere - nothing feels "luxury" at all. Far from it. Forget the more expensive items like fixtures and mattresses, even linens and bath products are really bottom of the barrel. 2. Old facilities all around. The resort is fairly old and needs a refresh. 3. Most importantly, the service. The GM and the EAM try hard, but the other members of the staff, while friendly, do not really get what is expected of a high end resort. And considering rooms here regularly go upwards of 1000 USD a night, I would expect far better. The staff makes it feel like they are doing you a favor when they call a buggy or perform any miscellaneous task. Is it because the staff to guest ratio is low? I don't know. Couple of incidents that really strike out - they started doing loud construction at around 11 pm in the night right outside our villa. If I were at a Six Senses or a Four Seasons, this would be blasphemous. Shockingly, the next morning, at around 6 am, someone started using very loud shears to cut some grass, jolting us awake. All this is just completely unacceptable. Three stars only for the beautiful views. This could have been truly special, but alas. Also, the breakfast offerings are horrendous.

Lovely staff, good food and great views It’s a big property so you need to call buggys most of the time, but, except for rush hours, they are very fast

A place where one may relax and enjoy the calmness of the area and with a very good spa. It is far from the madding crowd. Villa is very comfortable. Good , friendly and attentive service . But at breakfast time, it can be chaotic and attention needs to be given to request. Food served in all its restaurants is international and it is very good . However One suggestion is to offer innovative Balinese cuisine in its menu and also to cater for food intolerances and allergies as standard.

Just spent the most magical day at karma kandara, we booked a cabana for four people, amazing experience.. everything was perfect from reservation to leaving , private beach, cocktails, food the lift to the beach, everything 10/10, ....thank you to all the staff...you make it special 🫶😍
