Puri Taman Sari

We stopped here for lunch while on a tour. The staff were so welcoming and the lunch delicious. The day was hot, however the dining area was covered and there was a nice breeze coming off the adjacent rice paddy. This is a resort as well and there was a craft demonstration area where they show you how to make local items. Throughout the whole time there were 2 women playing soft music on what I assume is a local instrument. I would personally come back here as a guest as well.

This place is just a paradise in the tropical ricefields of Mengwi. Owned by a local noblesse it is located in a traditional village (Indo.: desa adat). The resorts offers you a genuine Bali experience that is gradually vanishing due to the surge of modernity and the influx of foreign infuences. During our stay coincidently the 3 days Odalan Ceremony took place at the local Prime Tempel (Pura Kahyangan Dalem), upon our request the staff helped us with traditional clothing and offering preparation to enable us to fully participate in the 3 days/nights of rituals, processions, dances, prayers and blessings. The breakfast was more than sufficient consisting of Balinesse and Western choices. The restaurant is also open for lunch, even when it is not explicitely mentioned. The dinner menu consists of Western and Balinesse choices as well and is very well prepared. For those who have trouble consuming flaming spicy asian food need not to be afraid of ordering Balinesse food, as the flaming spicy (Indo.: pedas) will come if you request fot it yourself. The Pumpkin and Corn soup are recommended, the kitchen is excelent. Our rooms were located in a valley and a swimming pool. Disliked · The whole complex although perfectly clean and continously well kept by staff has signs of aging, as humidity damage on walls and electricity sockets are becomming visible. Probably as most visitors are short stayers it wouldn't be of any nuisance, However it is a pity to see such a great place gradually deteriorating by aging, a small renovation on affected walls and electricity sockets will help this place for years to come.

In the middle of the rise fields and palms with swimming pool in front of individual spacious villas with a large terrace and outside bathrooms, a perfect place to spend a couple of relaxing days. Authentic balinese cousine, very friendly and nice staff. I got a balinese massage in front of the villa, which has a large massage bed.

The property has traditional Bali structures and is stunningly beautiful next to rice fields on either side terraced into hillsides. There are two lovely infinity pools, one overlooking the rice fields. The staff are lovely and welcoming. Balinese massages were great. The manager Doni is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for seclusion away from crowds and commercialism.

We stayed with friends in 3 rooms for a night there and it was nice. The resort is typical balinese style, we got lovely room with outdoor bathroom. The pool and restaurant area have a stunning view of ricefield, we can take a walk inside the resort, there are so many lovely corners. The staffs are very friendly and we had a tasty dinner at their restaurant. Check-in and check-out is well arrange. Was a pleasant stay.

Peace and comfort in this country hotel amongst the rice fields and far from the city hassle. Beautiful views, simple but good food, nice and helpful staff, large rooms. Swimming pools maintenanace could be improved. Thanks to Donny, always smiley and helpful.

It was the best stay we have here in Bali! No big hotel with small rooms. It is like an old temple with a nice infinity Pool with a beautiful look at the rice terasses and their workers. Excellent food, no mosquitos here and excellent personal here! We miss this beautiful place. Abolut Top! Ruhige Lage, ausgesprochen nettes Personal und eine herrliche Anlage wie in einem alten Tempel. Essen ebenfalls vorzüglich. War unsere bestes Hotel hier! Unbedingt Besuchen - und es gibt hier auch keine Stechmücken =)
