(1) For what you get the price isn't really to justify! It was the most expensive temple we've visited but not worth the price. Super crowded as well. If you have to skip a temple - than it can be that one!
(2) This was a beautiful place to visit, weather was cool, and nice breeze. A lot of tourist at this location, but worth it to see a piece of Balinese Mythology. It was a temple to pray to the sea gods, I believe. \n\nThe temple is a rock formation in the sea built by fisherman. It’s amazing how the path to the temple disappears during high tide, leaving on the temple.  I only took pictures from the top, because I could see many tourist already walking to the temple. Beautiful scenery.\n\nI believe the cost was 60,000 Rupiah ($4 USD) Parking was 5,000 Rupiah ($0.36 USD).\n\nThere are shops and food at this location.  Nice tree art on the way towards the temple.  I was approached by some young girls selling Frangipani hair clips and magnets, which I did purchase. \n\nIf you travel to Bali, you should stop by and see this place. Breathtaking.
(3) This is a beautiful temple at the edge of a large lake. Very picturesque. We found the place very cool and tranquil. The temple does look like it is floating and can sink.
(4) Ina sunny day the whole atmosphere was pleasant. You can have a top end view of the sea and the ancient temple and get down to have a closer view. The garden is worth seeing.I came in the morning, and feel that I should have been there at the time ofsunset to.
(5) It is a very beautiful place to visit.We have to walk on the rocks in the ocean to visit the temple.It was a high tide day,so we missed this.But the sound of waves and cool  breeze made this place...a wonderful place\n to visit in the evening.\n.
(6) Stare at it.  It does look like it's floating on the lake.  Look at your 50,000 rupiah note. Yep, same temple, same view.  What's not to like.  This is a must see venu, you won't regret it.  I highly recommend it.
(7) One of the best places to visit in Bali. Very wonderful place. Temple and sea, beautiful view. Keep 3 to 4 hours spare for this lovely place.
(8) This is a definite must must on you list to see in Bali. The location on the edge of the cliff is Wow. The views of the cliffs just amazing and stunning. We arrived after 4pm and it was hot. The bonus was seeing the dance at sunset wow just beautiful and was well done and  interesting all the performers were excellent. After visiting many temples this was one of the best and extremely value for money.
(9) Went for sunset, too many people and selfie sticks!  Could not get near the temple or a clear photo but enjoyed sitting back and people watching.  Tip:  try and choose a quiet time (not sure when that is)
(10) As stated by others, a very popular tourist attraction.  We arrived in time to see the sunset behind a very large cloud.  I would reoommend you arrive an hour before the sun is scheduled to set so you can actually see the unique features of the temple.
(11) This temple is one of most famous tourist attractions in Bali. The temple is located on the rocks, it will be separated during high tide. Becoming famous because of the sun set....
(12) Very beautiful view of the temple by the seashore.  Temple is built on the rocks projecting into the sea.
(13) We arrived at ~9 am at the temple and there were already thousands of other tourists.\n\nWe decided to walk along the cliffs and after 10 minutes we reached a abandoned golf course. There you can take a walk and have a very beautiful sight over the see. You will be the only tourist in this area.\n\nPoorly the place was bought by Donald Trump and will soon be a big hotel complex.
(14) This temple was my absolute favorite temple that i saw while in Bali. The temple is situated in the ocean and has stunning sunset views. You can be blessed at the temple where they put the rice on your forehead but be careful of the religious men who can lead you off to help you take photos but then follow you around until you give them money. In low tide you can walk out on to the rocks for an even better view. There's lots of markets leading up to the temple and it can get very busy around sunset. It is on the more expensive side for entry but its defiantly worth it for the view.
(15) Was so good to see the temples in person and tick it off the bucket list beautiful part of Bali rich in history and tradition
(16) It is a Hindu temple in Bali. More possibility of being a Shiva or Vishnu temple. Entry to temple is not allowed. But priests outside worship Vishnu and snakes. However, apart from the mythology the key attraction is the location and the view. It is by far the best beach sunset point I have visited. \n\nThe natural rock formations, the sea and the sunset collectively give a perfect picturesque landscape. It is a eyecandy for sure. \n\nthe temple is on a single huge rock on the edge of beach. As the sunset nears, the sea tide covers the beach and the rock appears to be standing tall in the sea then. It is a natural marvel.\n\nI wish I had got chance to see the temple from inside also. But whenever they do open it, I am for sure going back to this place.
(17) Must see for all tourists at Bali. You can miss all temples except 2 and one of them is Tanah Lot. I was amazed at the view and enamored with its serenity. \nOne can reach there by 4 pm. Do a little bit of shopping if you like first as the shops begin to close soon after sunset. Bargaining is a must. Start with a 70% discounted price on the offer and increase the price with capping it at 60% of the offer price maximum.\nIt is beautiful at sunset. Of course you need to find a quiet place for yourself with all the bustling tourists and vendors around you. There are no idols in the temple though. The temple on the cliff and the seaside is simply alarming. I wondered what an experience would it have been in the days when the temple was functional.
(18) Ive seen pictures of this temple and it was stunning. Was a bit disappointed when i got there as it looked so run down. I wont deny that it was a nice sight, but i feel it was deserted and empty and that made it look kind of sad. Its probably better at festival times
(19) A great place to visit, especially if you love wild life.\nAmazing temples and sculptures throughout.\nGreat experience.
(20) Arrived at sunaet, place was crowded with tourists when we reached and since it is low tide, the foot of the temple was little with tourists and difficult to take a picture. Maybe better to go in the morning when it is high tide
(21) Second visit in less than a year , the lake view is priceless , grounds are well maintained and temple looks amazing
(22) This temple could be very solemn due to location.  Center of a lake, and surrounded by mountain ridge... however due to the hored of tourist... it has lost its tranquility.  You can't get a nice shot of the temple, and the surroundings... and it is just too noisy.\n\nMaybe if you visit during off peak.  Then you can tell me of your experience.
(23) The Temple are in the middle of lake.. \nA beautiful scenery around the lake, and they has a big garden with many statues this place is worth a visit,,but better choose peak season on the week day.. \nThey are so crowded
(24) The temple and surrounding grounds were lovely. We spent a few hours walking through the park areas and taking pictures. It is definitely worth the trip.  \n\nTip: arrive as early as possible. The tour buses start unloading around lunch time and the place becomes mobbed. Luckily, we got a couple of hours of light tourist traffic beforehand.
(25) Well, the location at the lake is just great. And the temple is beautiful, although run over by tourists and asking quite an entrance fee.
(26) This temple is one of the most well-known, and therefore one of the most popular temples in Bali. It is well worth visiting, and there is plenty to see, but it is also often very busy and a little crowded, though this does not detract too much from the interesting insights into Balinese culture that are on offer.
(27) There's a playground in the Temple complex. I like to play there. I saw some puppies, temples, and boats.
(28) The temple was very impressive. Unfortunately, we were there during high tide and didn't have the opportunity to get close to the temple.  Nevertheless, the views from the shore were pretty impressive.\n\nWhen you arrive, there's a bit of a walk to the temple and this was lined by vendors. We did a bit of shopping there and everyone was very polite and friendly. Once at the temple, we took some great pictures.  You can walk around the grounds, which were also quite lovely and well maintained.  The the left to the temple are a series of restaurants, where you can grab a quick beer and bite. I imagine this would be a favourite spot for people to watch the sunset. We were there during the middle of the day, so it was pretty empty.\n\nWe didn't have a guide, so if you want to know more about the temple, it's best that you read up on it or have a look online.  There weren't any tours or guides at the site to help orient us to the temple's history.  There were a number of photographers, who took photos and printed them for you at the site. Since we didn't hire them, I don't know how much the photos were. They did seem to know the best spots for photos and some of the pictures I saw were really nice.
(29) Love this Temple in the midle of the sea wonderfull view histories and location  but the axcess is absolutly terrible paid all the time, must cross the market with 1000 request questions almost agression to buy the local souvenir guide etc.... fare to be spiritual but only comercial nice to see one time only....
(30) The Temple management have completely commercialised this site, It costs $6aud to enter, when you enter there is a small town made up of shops you have to go through to get to the temple, then you can't see it for trees, it's a long walk with steps, so not suitable for elderly or disabled.
(31) It is the the most magnificient temple. You can find very informative guides in the entrance. They give you sarong it is a religious rule and you should wear a top that can cover your shoulder (women). We also had a great chance to enter the inside to pray and offer to God in Hindu belief :) unforgettable moment!
(32) Beautiful temple on the rocks in sea. The temple doesn't allow non Balinese inside. You can have a nice view of temple with high tides covering and splashing the rocks. Good place to click pics along with.nice local market along it ,to buy handmade stuffs and paintings.
(33) whoever came up with the idea of adding western cartoon characters and stuff that have nothing to do with Hinduism should reconsider how tacky this temple has turned into. This serene place with religious significance with mountains and a lake as a back drop could have been enhanced with more Bali-inspired art and architecture. After all, tourists come and spend money to see BALI. Travelers like us yearn to glimpse the soul of BALI. SpongeBob SquarePants!?! Really???\nParking 5000 IDR/vehicle. Entrance fee 100,000 IDR/person + pay for toilet.
(34) A magnificent temple rest on a big rock  just a few meters offshore. Best time to visit is during low tide (afternoon). Sunset starts at 5:30 to 6:30. The sunset view in this place is outstanding. after the sunset, there is a fire dancing and it lasts one hour.
(35) The views from the temple are amazing. The sunset itself is great but it is absolutely packed. I would not recommend to go there. If you go to a quiet place along the wall, try looking into the coral in the ocean. If you are lucky you spot some giant sea turtles!
(36) Went to this place today and spend about 20 mins walking around during sunset. It's nothing THAT special, truly over rated. \nA tip for visitors of this temple, make sure you use the bathroom before you arrive at this temple because you'd have to pay to use the loo PLUS it's not a proper loo, it's a squatting loo with no running water. There's also a good chance you won't have toilet paper in there and the locals would find you fussy if you asked for some!!!!! You'd think they'd invest in a landmark that attracts so many tourists but turns out they don't care.
(37) This is a lovely temple by the sea. It's great to see the sunset sitting on the lawn with a lot of local families who have picnics there. The only thing I would suggest is getting there around 5:30 to 6 in January, we went at 3:30 and it was too hot and we had to wait until 7pm for the sunset. You only need an hour to walk around and a good half hour for the market stalls. Worth a visit.
(38) Went there on a full moon day at 8 pm. Had a chance to see Balinese full moon ceremony. Hundreds people in white outfit went to the temple to pray. Such a wonderful experience. However, we were not allowed to go inside the temple since they allowed only Balinese to go inside to pray.
(39) Perfect place for pictures with magnificent atmosphere of waves breaking against the rocks, mysterious temple you can reach only when water is low...
(40) Yuck! Crowded, packed with vendors, stalls, huge parking lots. My least favorite kind of place. No access to the temple, just a silhouette at sunset. My husband walked across the tide only to be sprinkled with water \blessed\" and asked for money. Don't waste your time. So many beautiful temples around to Go to."
(41) The temple was simply gorgeous.  Stunning views from the top.  Sunset was amazing! The only annoying thing was that due to the number of visitors, it was challenging trying to get a photo without someone walking through it.  This is not an all day trip.  I combined this with a visit to a few other temples, which worked out fine.  This is a must see!
(42) Very much a must see location. Quite busy but people didn’t obscure the view of the temple off shore.
(43) we took almost 2.5 hours driving to get here from Ubud. The site is majestic with plenty Balinese statue around. Local believed the water is holy. Once you entering the gate be ready to walk in the middle of water with circle steps.
(44) If your in Bali this is a must do, but beware. The Temple & surrounds are beautiful but the crowds are enourmous. Like other reviews I suggest you go early in the morning as we did this time. Small crowds, plenty of space to move around & enjoy the sights & markets.
(45) Lovely it’s nice to know that places like this stil do exist. Mother of Balinese nature is just amazing !
(46) I love this temple by the lake. Beautiful and peaceful. Despite rain there were quite a few visitors. Adjacent garden/park has some equipment for children to play on. Will come back later on a sunny day. The restaurant is mediocre. The buffet is a better value.
(47) The view of this temple never fails to amaze. This time we were staying at the pan pacific with family. Just across the fairway and you see this amazing structure in the sea.  Best seen at daytime or latest sunset. It is not lit up at night so don't waste a trip during the dark hours.
(48) Unbelievable place. Beautiful sunset. The location is perfect. Good seafood at the restaurant near the temple.
(49) This is a great place to visit.  The temple is very interesting.  Many westerners were in the water, but it all seemed too much bother for us as you need to respect the local custom of being almost fully clothed.  However, we did join a long queue to touch the water.  We did a couple of day trips and found this to be one of the most memorable.  We combined it with lunch overlooking the volcano and lake Batur and the monkey forest at Ubud
(50) Very tourist orientated place ...we were lucky to see a ceremony which was interesting ...amazing shrines and temples... would gladly recommend this as an attraction to view a Must see\nextremely popular over the High Season - many tourists and busses \nAmazing Lake and backdrop as you drive down the Mountain into the Temple \na Must SEE
(51) we wanted to visit a \temple of the sea\", well ok, the sight is beautiful, from the cliff to the temple on the coast, but wow so many tourists there... (i know we were tourist too lol) but to see people with cameras and sunglasses everywhere kinda got in the way of the \"visiting a temple\" spirit. If you can, go to the gunung kawi temple, once you pass the vendors outside, you get a more peaceful and amazing experience"
(52) Beautiful to see at sunset, take photos and explore the rock pools on the beach around the temple! Get there a bit earlier if you would like to do some shopping at the market beforehand
(53) You will not be the only one visiting this picturesque temple on the lake, but I think it is still worth a visit. Loved watching the ceremonies taking place and exploring the grounds. Worth seeing if you're in the area.
(54) What a great temple with so much history and detail. We had a tour guide and were grateful so that we could find out about the history and traditions!
(55) Beautiful landscape. Temple nothing spectacular. It is not a must, but a nice place to visit at the peninsula of Bali.
(56) The Temple is the main attraction and better to see and photo at low tide. The sunset is stunning and the gardens re beautiful. Unfortunately is has become very commercial with heaps of stalls to buy Bali things from before you get to the temple. Other than that is a good sight seeing attraction.
(57) To be honest I was expecting more of the temple from the reviews. We went at sunset and it was absolutely heaving with other tourists, which is fine but the temple itself was not impressive enough to make up for it. If you do go, skip the sunset \tourist show\" and go to the cliff edge to watch the impressive sunset, which made up for an otherwise average visit."
(58) Come and visit this temple,pretty rocky temple on the sea,and beautiful sunset in the afternoon,for everyone don't missing the beauty of bali👍recomended
(59) We went to see the Temple beginning of October early afternoon. The sights are unbelievable. There were tourist, but it wasn't overly crowded. there is virtually no shade, so whip out the sunscreen.\nI do recommend it to anyone interested in great sights.
(60) It was really hard to go up and down all the road to see nothing actually. The temple was closed as the sign said. No guide there at all. For me I did not like this trip. Sorry
