Castles in Karangasem

"Our stay at Samanvaya Luxury Resort & Spa was absolutely incredible from beginning to end. The resort is truly a hidden paradise surrounded by the beautiful nature of Sidemen, offering the perfect mix of luxury, tranquility, and authentic Balinese charm. From the moment we arrived, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome and cared for. The service was exceptional throughout our entire stay — warm, attentive, and always going above and beyond to make every moment special. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable. Waking up to the peaceful views and relaxing atmosphere was unforgettable. The food was also outstanding, and every experience at the resort felt perfectly curated and thoughtful. What made our stay even more memorable was the peaceful and romantic ambiance of the property. It was the perfect place to relax, disconnect, and enjoy unforgettable moments together. We highly recommend Samanvaya Luxury Resort & Spa to anyone visiting Bali and looking for a truly special experience. We would absolutely love to come back in the future."

"Very beautiful "

"The resort is absolutely fantastic. The staff will do anything to ensure you have a good stay. The free activities are incredible. Make sure you try yoga with the incredibly skilled Wayan and the walks with the activities coordinator are well worth it to see parts of the area you would not have seen. I had a 2 hour massage and scrub experience with Riki which was absolutely incredible and so reasonably priced. I recommend the spa !The only problem at the moment is what staff call ‘the conservation project’ which is in fact heavy machinery on the beach moving rocks to build a rock wall. They work from 8am to 9:30pm at night. I don’t doubt it is essential work but I would stay there once it is finished (this year according to staff) or just make sure you select your room carefully. I had to change rooms and the staff were empathetic and responsive to my concerns. The trouble is the construction moved to underneath my balcony on my last morning making the balcony unusuable. Besides this I would highly recommend Candi Beach Resort. "

"Good"

"Very clean and lovely hotel. Great for diving. "

"The resort has overmet all our expectations. Really all of them. The architecture and color design is very modern and meets fully our taste. The Villa (one room) was excellent. Very spacy and comfortable. One highlight is that you step out on the terrace and are able to swim to the pool bar. The stuff is very, very friendly, always smiling, always at hand when needed. They are acting immediately when needed. The breakfast was included into our booking and this is another highlight. There aere so many selections, that it never gets bored. The basis is a bowl of fresh cut fruits, a basked with bakery stuff, toast and bred and butter and marmelade. We mostly relaxed and ate more than necessary, I mean it in a good way. The restaurant and bar is open, but under the roof, you always feel as having a meal at the ocean, which is really, really southing. Overall the stay was fantastic and it was not easy for us to leave the paradise. We would recommend this place to anybody who wants to have relaxed and luxury times at the ocean."

"We could not have enjoyed ourselves more. Prettiest place we’ve ever stayed. Staff was so accommodating. "

"The Griya is a fantastic location and a view to die for with friendly staff and clean accommodation. Room layout 2 bedrooms being separate was private. Only thing our friends were originally in room 4 until I said this was arranged 9 months prior and they moved our friends which was great. Rooms 6 and 7 had interconnected door which enabled our friends to share facilities. Great for the kids and adults too. The staff were all very friendly and accomodating from booking early to kitchen, bar staff and cleaners. The private infinity pool in our villa was outstanding. The kitchen fully equipped with all utensils if you needed to cook but we did not as the restaurant was great. The rooftop bar loved it as it was our happy place. Not far from diving spots which were world class. (Definitely recommend fresh fins) "

"Beautiful hotel - loved the staff, the spa and the food. Thing that let it down was there was a massive street party outside. Techno music blaring until 3am so left very tired. "
