The highlight of this property is the staff and the location. Beautiful gardens, sea front pool and bungalows. Note: there is no beach at this property. But you are right in front of the sea. The property has been fully refurbished less than a year ago so everything looks good. The decor is lovely, amazing gardens. The staff is extremely accommodating, welcoming and just lovely to deal with. We stayed at the Ocean view bungalows - incredible! You wake up with the sound of waves and birds. Just amazing! My only comments would be: The bathroom floors are extremely slippery when wet. There was sometimes an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. But it wasn’t constant so couldn’t really understand why. Breakfast is good. There could be some improvement on bakery goods. But they have an amazing selection of asian and western breakfasts. We really liked the guava juice. We ate at the restaurant one evening and it was ok, but our most expensive meal during our stay. There are a lot of restaurants close by that offer a free pickup/drop off service for dinner. Overall we would recommend Nirwana Beach Resort!

The resort and the grounds are lovely and meticulously maintained. Absolute waterfront position... stunning. Staff couldn’t be friendlier or more helpful. While it is a little way out from the main restaurant strip, the resort can organise transport at a very small fee or restaurants offer free pickup and drop off service.

Resort is down a deserted lane well off the road making it inconvenient. Food at Resort is poor which is made even worse because it is inconvenient to get to town. More free water should be given because of this as well.Not good value for money compared to other resorts in this class in Bali.

Beautiful tranquil resort
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights of complete rest and relaxation. The Nirwana staff were excellent & so polite & friendly. The pool is reasonably maintained & is perfectly positioned facing out to the ocean. The rooms are very comfortable for the price. The gardens & grounds are very pretty & we'll maintained. Would highly recommend a massage at the Spa, we had one every day!

Decent Hotel
Beautiful hotel but showing some signs of age. Things are falling apart a bit but it's still a beautiful place. Staff is friendly but they could not charge our food purchases to my credit card at checkout because the machine didn't work so I lost out on a lot of points. Their restaurant is really good. Overall okay stay. Great for a few nights to relax. WiFi DOES NOT work in rooms. We had the closest room to the restaurant and it still didn't work. Had to sit next to the pool or in the hotel.

Dirty room!!!!
Had to ask for bedding to be changed on arrival as dirty brown stain on sheets. Room was dusty and there were drapes hanging over the bed that were ripped; and filthy. Couldnt wait for the one night stay to end, No access to the beach from resort. Unable to go for a walk as the road in was littered with stray dogs and chooks. And the resort on a cliff so cant go anywhere. Very unpleasant stay for what we paid

Good one night stopover
We had an ocean view room, to be fair it looked like most rooms faced the ocean so not sure the extra was merited. The ocean noise sounded like a thunderstorm crashing all night so may cause sleep problems. The waves are big here and you cannot swim in the sea. The hotel grounds were immaculate bar a few incidents of cat excrement on the grass. Pool was nice. Breakfast was to order and reasonable although our "healthy choice" muesli was dry and tasteless. The room was good but again a small makeover would up things that extra level.

Great hotel, pool, restaurant near beach
The hotel and outlook was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool and gardens sensational and I enjoyed lovely Balinese meals at the restaurant. No complaints whatsoever about the Hotel. However, the driveway into the Hotel were in poor repair and rough. The bathroom in my room was huge and clean but had a part where I think it would have been nice to have some garden/greenery instead of dirty old black rocks.

Relaxing break.. perfect staff
Spent 6 nights to chill out.. resort is a little dated but maintained well.. staff are excellent - they seem to appear when you need them, without hovering.. menu was great and prices very reasonable... We used our own driver for a couple of day trips to Ubud and local villages and transfers... We stayed in an ocean view bungalow - resort is well set out so you have privacy but good access to pool, restaurant and gardens...

A little piece of paradise
Never felt more welcome at any destination than in this beautiful resort in quiet little Candidasa. Staff are so friendly and professional; nothing is too much trouble. My villa was superb and unfailingly spotless every day. The resort restaurant provided lovely tasty local and western dishes at reasonable prices. I will definitely return as soon as possible to this little gem where the waves lap against the sea wall only metres away from the pool and bar. Wonderful!!!

Well maintained property and great stay
We stayed in Nirwana for 3 days on our honeymoon trip to couple. The main entrance is about 350mtrs from the main road and is not permanent road so we had an initial doubt in our mind about our choice, however all that doubt was eliminated the moment we entered the property. The hotel staff were very warm, check-in took less than a min and they were ready with all necessary details regarding our room. The property is beautiful and treat to a nature lover and a romantic. The room was clean and had everything well arranged to our comfort. The restaurant was a little over priced but food was good. Overall I am satisfied with my stay and would recommend this place as long as you are not bothered about the initial 350mtrs to the hotel. Note: At night going out on your own may be an issue because there is no lights on the road from Hotel entrance to the main road.

Beachside Oasis with Friendly Staff
Wow, what an experience! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, the villa was incredibly comfortable, and the staff was very attentive. The spa was amazing too-- I had a hot stone massage and pedicure, the spa rooms are spacious and relaxing. You can smell the beach and hear the waves, but the rest of the resort is incredibly quiet, only water noises. I wish I could have stayed longer; this will be the only place I stay when I come to Bali!

17th - 20th June 201 (4d3n)
Stayed at Nirwana from 17th - 20th June (4D3N). Pros: Beautiful swimming pool, facing ocean. Friendly hotel staff who are always ready to serve. All hotel staff greets customers with a smile. Romantic and comfortable bed with mosquito netting as curtains. Large room and a balcony for relaxing and drying towels / clothes etc. Cons: During my last night stay, the air con started "spitting" our shaved ice. which gave my partner and I a shock. It happened several more times until I increased the temperature from 19 degrees celcius to 23? 2 large lizards lived on the roof which is very disgusting as the lizards would excrete their wet waste which lands on the floor. We noticed this on the last night which made everything in the roof feel very dirty. Improvements: Perhaps the hotel could consider having a yoga class where customers can join in? This would add dimension to the activities other than just lazing at the pool.

Relaxing resort hotel
Lovely relaxing hotel with large grounds, good service, pool and day spa, staff are very attentive and helpful. No beach but this is typical of the coast here. Candidasa itself offers little but that's ok if you want a nice hotel to chill out and relax in, without leaving the hotel, this is it. Wifi was slow and a bit erratic but it did work ok.

One of the most beautiful resorts in Bali!
If you’re looking for a place to stay in the Karangasem area, look no further. On my recent trip to Bali I stayed in 4 different hotels throughout the island. Nirwana Resort and Spa was by far my absolute favorite. I only spent 2 nights here, but wished we had stayed longer. The resort is beautiful, lush and tropical. Beautiful rooms and bungalows. The infinity pool with a view of the South Pacific Ocean was breathtaking. The sounds of cascading waves filled my bungalow and lulled me to sleep at night. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and went out of their way to ensure customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this hotel!

The resort is pretty much what it states. The staff were great and attentive they always had a smile and hello. The pool is small but perfect for a dip to cool down after a day of sight seeing. The food was tasty and not to badly priced. My only real complaint is it is a long walk to anywhere it's up a long narrow driveway so if you want quiet with no traffic noise you wouldn't find much better. The room was nice but does need a comfy chair that's about all that is missing and the room mates are shy small lizards but they don't bother you at all.

Satisfactory resort but isolated
Quite acceptable four star resort spoilt by poor wifi, reception lady, and hopelessly overpriced spa. Resort is isolated and shutter service effectively non existent. Food was good. Staff in F@B and Housekeeping were very good but Spa staff and some reception staff either need moving on or retraining.

Nice pool with view, not so nice dining
The resort has likely seen better days. Our much needed mosquito net on the bed was too small so we were annoyed by mosquitoes coming in during the night. Our pillows has a smoky & damp smell to them. We were kept up the first night of our stay by a very loud tokay gecko, which the staff removed very efficiently the next day ( didn't kill it) The bistro area was awkward with staff watching everything you do, immediately asking if you were from the resort ( duh! It's not a location you chance upon in your bikini with your kindle), requesting room number and meal voucher straight away. Wouldn't recommend this place on the strength of anything except for price

The location and setting was perfect. the infinity pool was truly magnificent and the temperature was lovely and cool. Very private bungalows, and only a few steps away from the pool and restaurant. Hotel is extremely well run and the staff can't do enough for you. The food in the restaurant was all really good and very well priced. About a 25 minute walk into town.

The hotel is set well off the main road. In one direction is the ocean, and in the other mountains. The feeling is peaceful and relaxed. We loved sitting outside the restaurant listening to the ocean. The staff were friendly, helpful and not at all intrusive. The room had a Balinese character and was clean. There was a shuttle bus to and from Candidasa central, about 3kms away. We would happily return as we really enjoyed Candidasa.

This is small hotel on the sea front. The views are beautiful but there is no beach, where you can swim.

Decent Hotel with Beach view, great hospitality!
i stayed there for 3 days in May 2014. !st impressions on the hotel. i was ys fascinated with the location and sea views. simple amazing. Rooms were huge and beds were comfortable. Decently priced and 5 star hotel service. You will like a king when you stay there at a very affordable. 2 hrs away from Kuta therefore it's very quiet but 5mins drive and you will reach the nearest city Candidasa and you will get access to lots of local food and drinks. Only one comment to the the Hotel Mangement, please clean the room better as i felt you just need your staffs your staffs to scrub the toilet floors harder esp at the edges, you will create better experience.
