THE BEST OF THE BEST. Komaneka is pure paradise. I'm 59yrs who has travelled to 35 countries and covered 20 States in the USA, so I have stayed in a lot of hotels. Komaneka at Keramas Beach was amazing. Their attention to detail was faultless. We stayed for 30 days and the quality of service did not slip once throughout our stay. The Komaneka's philosophy is to welcome you in as if you are family, but this is a big understatement. We were treated like Royalty for the whole stay. Every member of staff knew our names as we met them for the first time. All the staff greeted us when passing anywhere on the grounds, from the maintenance, cleaners to the restaurant teams. They worked constantly cleaning, sweeping and pruning all the lush tropical vegetation that surrounds the complex. The villas are perfectly designed, so nobody overlooks you from any angle or direction, giving complete privacy. They are equipped with big walk in showers and separate free standing baths. Big walk in wardrobe/dressing area and large comfortable beds. We had a view of the sea from our bedroom at the front and a view over the rice fields from our private infinity pool at the back. The onsite restaurant had an extensive breakfast and all day dining menu. We also visited 4 outside restaurants within a short walk along the beach to the east. Komaneka is positioned directly on the beach at Keramas. It has volcanic black sand that sparkles like diamonds in the sun and moon light, its totally magical. Komaneka is 45 minutes taxi drive to town of Ubud to the north and 45 minutes to the city of Denpasar. It was a perfectly secluded retreat for me to escape my busy life in the city of London. The spa treatments were excellent with easily to book availability. The warm swimming pool was an impressive 33 mtrs long. The management have pieced together a wonderful respectful team. I truly believe that most top London hotels should send their staff to Komaneka for training.

Nothing

First off all, the team is incredible, very friendly and 24 hours willing to help with whatever you need. We stayed 10 days and had a great time. The accommodation was outstanding clean and spacious. Great place to relax and forget about the rest of the world

Although they offer a huge variety of dishes on their menu, most of the dishes come with a lot of garlic and onions and from our point of view the cook would need a training using different herbs etc. Again, whenever we asked to cook in a certain way, it was possible to influence the way they prepared the meals. Driving to the capital (dining, shopping) is one-way minimum one hour, even more.

The villas have a gorgeous view of the ocean, including watching the ocean waves from the bed. The beach is beautiful, with Black shiny sand and beautiful strong waves. The beach is not suitable for swimming, but it’s very beautiful. The staff are excellent and work hard to make customers comfortable. When we got to the room, we felt it was not very clean, but the staff came right away and cleaned/washed every spot and changed all sheets.

There are harmless lizards (which is normal in places with trees) but still uncomfortable. No lizards were inside the villa, all were in the external area. The villa pools are not heated and uncomfortable to swim in.

I went there with my wife on our honeymoon and I totally recommend this hotel, we stayed there for a week without leaving the resort not even once (ten out of ten). The food at the restaurant is outstanding and the portions are decent. Regarding lunch and dinner, we loved the prawns, steaks, burgers, pizzas, etc... Also they have variety of delicious soups and appetizers. For breakfast, they have different types of eggs, fresh fruits, fresh juices, coffee, waffles, pancakes, etc and they taste amazing. Really hats-off to the amazing chef. The service and waiters are super friendly. The facilities are very clean, and the private pool with the view on the ocean is breathtaking. We enjoyed swimming at the beach, the pool and our private pool. Also, amazing views. The service in general is amazing and the Staff are just lovely, Also, we had a romantic dinner arranged with photoshoot. We really enjoyed it and we were very happy with the received photos. Yeah and finally the spa is great. We had received a couple massage very other day and felt super relaxed. TOTALY RECOMMENDED

Friendly attentive staff, nice villa facing the sea, 100% privacy, good size private pool, the general pool is big (50m long), the beach is clean ( no stones, no need for sea shoes) however the waves are strong; one has to be careful when swimming. the room is spacious has all around glass windows from ceiling till floor for a wonderful view to the pool and sea, there is outdoor seating area, 3 split a/c in the room making perfect cooling. Breakfast ala carte , as well lunch and dinner with many varieties, good taste at reasonable prices! parking available with no extra charge. sufficient daily water refill. we enjoyed our stay!

Those looking for quietness and relaxation the resort is far away from the main tourist places and clubs in other areas ( around 1 - 1.5 hr drive). Although the shampoo and body scent are of lemongrass, however the smell was not good!

We had a nice stay at our villa! The setup was perfect, offering a view of the ocean, a private pool, and a peaceful hotel environment. It was the ideal spot to relax and unwind. The hotel itself is lovely, surrounded by rice fields, had nice hotel pool, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay.The hotel has one restaurant, and while the food was good, it wasn’t particularly remarkable, but it suited us just fine for our short stay. The nearby beach has black sand, though it is not really for swimming - the water seemed a bit rough and not the cleanest. It’s worth noting that the hotel is about 1.5 hours drive from the airport.

While the hotel is only a few years old and kept very clean, we did notice that it could use a bit of minor maintenance here and there to keep everything in top shape.

Amazing service. Sprawling, meticulously landscaped grounds with private beach entrance and golf carts to get you around. The villas are best-designed villas I've ever stayed in, super-private and obsessively-clean. The restaurant is advertised as "international" but has a great selection of local cuisine, and of course breathtaking views of the surf.

Not much, really. I'd appreciate a fully-stocked minibar (the mini-fridge was empty on arrival) and a bluetooth speaker to play some music on in the villa. But other than that, we really couldn't fault it much!

It was so relaxing and quiet! It's like entering another world when you drive the narrow road through the beautiful rice fields to this property. Such a warm welcoming and friendly service. The villa was stunning and the 33m2 pool gets 1.5m deep, cool! You could really swim. Clean property. Good view to Nusa Lembogam and the sea. Most guests stay at their Villa properties, of course there is dining and beverage service to the villas, so if you need to unwind you barely see any other guest/person for days. Room Service was perfectly times with our breakfast schedule, we never saw any housekeeping, very good managed. The main pool was mostly empty as other guests at our stay (August 22) were mostly of muslim belief so - I guess thats why they prefer to stay inside their private villas. Restaurant had reasonable prices and quality was good. There is a Black beach (very smooth) for walking or horse riding. Spa Massage very very good.

It's rather a suggestion then a complaint: - Providing some floats for the pool so you can enjoy the sun longer, as there is no more direct sun at the terace at around 3pm due to orientation of the villas. - some bluetooth Audio System to connect your Personal Devices -around the beach (next properties) there is a lot of plastic garbage put on the shore by high tide. However this is a generic area of improvement on Bali, I wish the communities would finance a team to frequently clean their beaches and to be proud of a clean environment.

Design of the villa is amazing, also the views to the ocean, impeccable and clean pool. The villa is spacious, huge bathroom, a lot of lounge space, functioning WiFi. The head massage therapist is a master of her profession. Staff was attentive to our requests and very friendly.

The place is quite remote, there is nothing else around. The restaurant didn’t serve half of their menu of their website, breakfast options were really poor, except for a few days with more available options. But what upset us the most was the constant attempts of the receptionists to make their cut with the taxi drivers. They constantly tried to overcharge us whenever we needed a taxi, and after we refused and called a grab driver, tried to renegotiate. It was really upsetting to get a quote 3-4 times higher than a normal taxi rate, always justified with „that’s just the rate of the driver“ and when you asked their driver, he didn’t even know and asked back „what did the office say?“ You just don’t want that kind of treatment as a guest paying thousands of euros for the stay.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The service was impeccable - we received so much attention from the staff, and their hospitality knew no bounds. The hotel was incredibly serene; it felt like we had the entire resort to ourselves. The rooms were stylish, with breathtaking ocean view. The black sand beach was a unique touch that left a lasting impression. Breakfast was delightful, and we looked forward to the spectacular afternoon tea with many unique snacks every day. We will definitely be returning here again and again."

The only downside of the hotel is the lack of nearby restaurants or attractions. If one wishes to try different dining options.
