A small building without pretense in a calm place and suitable for relaxation. The lack of equipment and activities is not convenient for the ones who are looking for an active holiday. Not bad for 2 or 3 nights.
Slightly situated in the north of Candidasa, the hotel is 48 miles from Denpasar airport which takes around 2 hours by car.
Two types of bungalows are offered: with a local architecture with red brick (big window and wicker furnishings) or a "lombong" type with strawed roof on two levels. The last mentioned ones as the representative of superior class are collected in small doll's houses and there is no big difference in the price between the standard and superior ones. Please note that the "Lombong" rooms do not possess air conditionning. The bungalows are clean but the comfort is really minimal, there is only a telephone as an equipment (through the reception which is open till 10:00 PM) The bathrooms are quite large with a bathtub but limited products are offered.
Ida Beach Village situated on the back of a banana grove, in a small park on the seaside, is composed by 17 bungalows laying between a restaurant, a reception and a small swimming pool. The establishment offers a simple comfort without pretense. The hospitality and the environment are friendly despite the dilapidation, the lack of equipment and especially the lack of space between the lodgings. On the other hand, you will certainly find peace there.
A seafront small restaurant with a 48 people capacity offers one convivial environment. The kitchen is simple and the menu offers a very limited selection: 9 Indonesian plates and the only international plate is spaghetti bolognese. You won't be lost in the wine menu as well, there are only two choices: white or red wine and offered in glass.
There is no beach in front of Ida Beach Village, but there is a small one after 130 feet on the right. Pool deck at the continuation of the restaurant's sundeck is in front of the sea and equipped with beach chairs. The view is squandered by concrete breakwaters in the front and on the coasts. The very clean and clear water of the sea is good for swimming, even the stones are scattering the borders and cover the sea bed.
The establishment has 17 bungalows of which 9 are not supplied with air conditionning. However, these 9 bungalows are the most pleasant ones due to their environment and architecture.

Certainly one of the most pretty hotels of the east coast. It offers a magnificient environment, a spectacular panorama and upscale equipment and services. Ideal to enjoy seaside pleasures, far away from touristic rabble of the south part of the island.
A simple establishment convenient to the ones who are looking for a relaxing place in east Bali. The hotel has a nice view of the sea, a beautiful park and Candidasa's best public restaurant.
A simple and calm establishment on the seaside. It offers a good comfort and the activities and services without pretention but besides a diving club, it has limited equipment.
A simple, but very nice establishment. It offers a quiet situation, a nice seaside space and well equipped and comfortable rooms.
A hotel that stands practically in the water in the resort of Candi Dasa, in the east of Bali, and far from the busy, over-populated districts of Kuta and Seminyak. Offering high-quality facilities without being extravagant, this trendy hotel promotes a tranquil atmosphere on its very pleasant, wooded site that caters exclusively to couples. It's a shame, though, that there's no sandy beach here, meaning guests have to make do with a strip of pebbles.

A pocket-sized hotel in Candi Dasa! This establishment (which we wouldn't call a resort as such), once entirely devoted to diving, recently changed tack and now provides a setting created exclusively with couples in mind. On the whole, the facilities are very modest: the accommodation is decent and while there is direct access to the sea from the hotel, it's a shame there is no beach.
