Puri Candikuning

Its first time in bali the hotel was beatiful, rooms comportable and Nice hotel view, staff very friendly, restaurant menu was great n indonesian food delicius Hope can coming back soon Nice experience Thank you..

The rooms are as spacious and well-decorated (we loved the Balinese art!) as everyone says. There are only a handful of villas here so you really do feel secluded, and the spectacular lake views really add to the feeling of serenity. But the food is so terrible. (I'm not a fussy eater but this really did taste unpleasant - I started to dread mealtimes.) We got the impression it was cooked by staff who don't really know how to cook. Even the included breakfast was bad - my eggs were rubbery - and the nasi goreng at dinner was so dry. Also, the wifi was very unreliable, so if you need wifi access for work you will be disappointed here. The place is not as luxurious as it perhaps used to be, but the views make it worth a visit. And the staff are really nice, too. So it's a mixed bag really.

Tuesday 10th of September and this was the prearranged venue of our lunch stop on our Royal Lake and Sea Temples Tour, booked through the Tui Representative at our Hotel. On arrival our Guide informed us that the meal was a 3 course set menu, all included in the price of the tour, drinks we were an additional charge. We were led into a rather spacious and grand dining room with spectacular views out over Lake Bratan and the imposing mountains. It was a bit cloudy and the mountains were shrouded in places asking to an eerie feel to the scene. We were offered the opportunity to sit indoors or outside, we chose inside, some respite from the heat, it did not detract from our views of the swimming pool and the Lake and mountains. Our waitress informed us there was a choice of main courses, duck or crispy chicken, we both went for the chicken. The first course was a small bowl of corn soup, which was very tasty. The chicken leg was then served accompanied by 2 stay lollipops, prawn crackers and some vegetables along with relishes in small banana leaf dishes. The presentation was better than the chicken tasted. The dessert was a few slices of watermelon and papaya. Very grand restaurant, ok food and amazing views.The very good rating was more for the views rather than the food, which should have been average.
