Watergarden

Candidasa


Lushly planted surrounds featuring plenty of lily-planted ponds are the main draws at this tranquil hotel on the mountain side of the main road. Though overpriced and in need of refurbishment, the bungalow accommodation is comfortable enough; deluxe rooms have showers rather than the shower-over-bath set-up in standard rooms. There's a streetside restaurant (mains 46,000Rp to 149,000Rp) and a small spa.
