(1) It's dissapointing to see really beautiful places very commercialized. Sometimes it's necessary and perhaps the temple is closed for visitors so it can be used for traditional uses, but it feels very touristy.
(2) This place is a shrine for the local Balinese worshipers to make offerings to their deities. Its located by the sea on a piece of rock. Rituals can be seen performing daily in this area. So this place is not only a seascape wonder, it's also a cultural foot hold. Sitting low tide, the shrine on the rock can be reached by walking on the exposed sea rocks. During high tide, the shrine turned into an island.\n\nThis place is also popular for surfers as the it has good waves most of the time.\n\nThe cliff formation along the coastline is an amazing sight and it stretches to a far as the eyes can see.\n\nBeen here many times, and it still amazes me until today.\n\nOther than sight seeing, tourists can shop for many cultural items and souvenirs her as well as there are many shops and stalls to fulfil your indulgence.\n\nHighly recommended!
(3) Fantasticplace the temple the walk the buildings and the shopping area ajoined. Had dinner there last trip and the sun near set and rotten clouds came such as life. Will be back this year.
(4) It was bad weather around 10am and it was raining and the waves in the Indian Ocean were unruly. so we just have to contain our selves at the top of the hill watching the temple from a far. at a very good weather, one could go nearer the place during low tide but very dangerous during high tide. even at the hill top, one must be careful not to go further than the marker for there were incidences of falling as per our tour guide.The temple added beauty to the seascape and it has become very iconic for Bali. A must see when in Bali.There are lots of food stalls and souvenirs at the frontage leading to the sea and spacious parking.
(5) This is one of Bali's great spiritual and Mythological locations and a visit here is truly worthwhile. Like with all Balinese Temples ensure you are appropriately dressed in a Sarong.\nYou are permitted a Camera and there are some wonderful stone carvings to be seen.
(6) The view is amazing especially from the side park of the Pura\nThe mountain lake and the sky make a perfect scenery \nMy favorite place in Bali \n\nThe entrance for local domestic is 10.000 rupiah for Foreigners around 30.000 rupiah \n\nKinda far for city center took around 2-3 hours to get here \nIts better to have lunch before get to to this temple , there is strawberry farm on the way up to this temple and many restaurant with cool view also \n\nWorth visit
(7) We have been in canggu and saw that few km far away. Temple is definitely worth to visit. You can take pictures, find to eat&drink smth. Enterence is 30K per person.
(8) This temple is situated on the bank of the lake, its a picturesque place, with greenery surroundings, the temple located adjoining to the lake is a beautiful visual for your eyes, from here you can see the foggy mountains beyond the lake, this place is cooler then most of the places in Bali, its like a hill station..
(9) Well worth going to see the temples are very picturesque but please be careful I got bit by fire ants and it is very painful it was cloudy when we were there so left before sunset, I think it would take a longtime to get out if you wanted to watch the sunset as it is very crowded
(10) Definitely worth seeing! The view is breathtaking. You cant access the Temple itself but once blessed you can walk up a little bit of it then free to explore the beach. Also once you have been blessed they will ask for a donation.
(11) You cannot visit the Temple, just walk around the area with thousands of tourists. We waited until sunset and took some nice pictures. But trapped in the middle of people does not look so cool. The sunset isn't worth the long trip, could see it some where else.
(12) The sun, The sea & The temples. Nature at its best. We were able to witness the locals travelling to the temple with their offerings and prayer rituals. What a sight! An experience worth this trip!
(13) Beautiful place, different from most of the other temples we visited. \n\nUnique architecture and the view on the lake is amazing. \n\nAlso less strict about putting on sarongs compared to other temples
(14) The view at Temple #1 is the best, picture came out insta-worthy - Called the window of Heaven. Will recommend going up by the main road, and down from the shortcut just before temple 6. Balinese are really religious and the hike up is indeed a test of faith. Plan for 4 hours to go up and down for most people, unless you are really fit.
(15) can watch a beautiful sun-set. You can have a long walk and go to Petitengate temple. their you can have a peaceful time, see local people pray the god along with their family and friends.
(16) Magical temple with beautiful view, nice balinese people, very romantic and you can feel the spiritual balinese culture
(17) You can't go inside the temple. You are only allowed to take pictures from outside down below the temple. So, the only photos you get are the photos you can find on google. If I was able to go inside the temple it would have been more interesting. \n\nSo, I paid for a taxi and temple entry fee to take pictures of the outside of the temple?\nTotal waste of time and money! The only good pictures was of the water and waves.
(18) We visited this temple as part of an excursion offered by our cruise ship. Both the temple and the setting on a lake with mountains in the background were really lovely. The temple was set in large well maintained gardens. We were fortunate to visit on a festival day and witnessed an impressive procession. Everyone was beautifully dressed, especially the children, and were all friendly and smiling. Prior to this visit we had been to a family compound in a traditional village which was very interesting but a big disappointment was that we failed to visit the rice terraces, which were supposed to be a highlight of the tour. The reason given was a vague reference to parking difficulties.
(19) Great views,  suggested to reach there by 4 PM so that one can visit the temple during low tide and also enjoy the sunset provided cloud cover is not there
(20) This is a must, if you can be there around 6 for sunset and have a bite to eat and a beer while viewing the temple and sunset from the cliff top. Do not pay extra to go to the temple as you only go to the base of the stairs so not worth it. This is a must if you can while in Bali.
(21) The famouse sea temple on the island of Bali which is dedicated to the God of water.  The place is a great spot to make pictures
(22) The place is mainly touristy with plenty of busses, and selfie photographs. But it has peace and is really exotic as the temples are on the water. Also many boat possibilities to go around on the lake.
(23) It's recommended to go there in the morning or noon when the tide is low so you can go up to the temple. Beautiful place but be careful there are a lot of street sellers; just politely decline and don't take anything they try to give or offer you. Should be fine.
(24) Do not go here expecting more than a temple and a stunning view and you will not be disappointed, Lovely for a bit of quite time, well it was quite the times I went, bar one.
(25) Beautiful temple on the beach, worth going to see but you may only need a hour to see it all as you can't get in to the temple itself. Generally busy, queues to get to holy water and snake! Plenty of stalls to haggle at on way out. Worth a visit, perhaps just for the sunset, but can be a trek from north of the island.
(26) Great place to watch the sunset. Great view and a good site. One must try to reach during low tide for going to the temple.
(27) This temple is located uphill and the weather is very cooling.  The scenery is so beautiful and a good place for photographs.  It would be advisable to go with a good driver cum guide.  This temple is far from city center.  It is a must go when you visit Bali.
(28) This temple ought to be visited as early as possible in the morning, before the crowds and clouds gather. We left Sanur at 6am and reached here at 7.45am while the sky was clear and blue, the air cool and crisp, and only a few other tourists present (meaning that our photos weren't littered with little people milling about); in retrospect I would even have arranged to set off at 5.30am or even 5am.\n\nWe spent 45 minutes wandering around the temple grounds and lake, before spending the rest of the morning and early afternoon trekking to the 3 waterfalls in Munduk and enjoying Kopi Luwak and bergedils (potato croquets) at Eco Cafe. Pleasant day!
(29) I like here a lot. Eventhough not grandiose, it's a very beautiful spot off the edge of the cliff which offers the view of the turquoise color ocean or the vanilla sky sunset. \n\nAlso, It seems that this place is also considered a sacred place for Balinese people. So if u r lucky you may see local Balinese ppl doing a spiritual ceremony. We experienced it once and it was a life time memory.\n\nThere is a stair which leads up to the temple gate. Very beautiful. I personally prefers this to Tanah Lot which is a massive touristic location. Obviously that spoiled all the charm.
(30) A must visit spot in bali. Though a bot far from all the main areas, its a place which one cannot afford to miss. Very scenic temple amidst the clouds, lake and the mountain.
(31) It's perhaps one of the most beautiful places in the world, though I haven't seen everything. But the truth is the sunset here is divine. Bali sky can show you amazing colours. The temple is not open for foreigners. But the area is magical.
(32) Bali is famous with unique temples, Beratan being one of them. The temple is located on the water, has a beautiful surrounding park and a vast territory. The problem is, like with many places that became popular, it is too crowded and a little bit expensive in terms value and satisfaction. The entry fee is 50K (parking is included). Although the people in the parking lot will try to make you to pay for the parking separately, don’t do this. The ticket includes parking (ticket office is some way from the parking lot). A road to the temple lies through the mountains and is very beautiful
(33) we got there around 4.30 pm, and walked slowly  along the sea side and see the fresh water spring, near the temple on the rock. we got the blessings from the priest there when we received some rice to be pasted on our forehead and a flower to be put on the ear. it seemed sacred and memorable for us. and before sunset, it's getting crowded by around 6 pm. the place is good for photo shooting.
(34) The scenic spot in the south of Bali is one unforgettable place to see.\nCome before 3pm so you eont get stuck from the traffic on the way to Pecatu.. Discover the hidden path ways to the edge of cliff view for the best selfie shots. \nWait for the sunset till 5:30pm and then find the peaceful space in this temple.
(35) Was a nice trip out to see the temple in its unique setting, also a nice short walk around the area. Unfortunately they were praying when's was there but I hear it's nice up there too
(36) The Balinese are very creative and this little temple on the shores of Lake Bratan is very beautiful. There's always good photo opportunities as worshipers file in and out.  There is also a lot of shops, a restaurant and toilets. Worth a stop if you're driving to Singaraja.
(37) Went to temple on religious holiday so very crowded but great to see all the families celebrating their holy day together. This place is a must to see while in Bali. It would be amazing at sunset also which apparently is a popular time to visit. Some good little cafes & of course lots of market shops to explore. Great photo opportunities as very picturesque. Cheap to visit and we had a driver for transport.
(38) The setting of this temple is really nice, but unfortunately, like many temples we visited, it is crowded and touristy. However in saying that, I'm still glad I visited it, because it is in such a beautiful setting. This is a fact of life these days since Instagram so we just have to grin and bear it.
(39) Firstly we didn't come here for the sunset so it might be a completely different experience. \n\nPersonally I don't think it's a great loss if you don't make it here. It's super super touristy - hordes of tourists from everywhere and dozens of tour buses. Inside the paid area there's  loads and loads of touristy shops.\n\nTemple was nice enough but there are so many people around. Overall it wasn't too exciting for me personally.
(40) This temple is simply beautiful, even with all the tourism here. \nBut because of all the tourist it doesn't feel like a holy temple anymore.  \n\nIt is certenly worth a visit if you are in Bali.\nThe temple itself is pretty small, so it is not necesary to hire a guide here.
(41) Utterly breath taking. If you are only going to see a limited number of attractions whilst in Bali make sure this is on your itinerary its only 30k entrance fee which will be ploughed back into maintain this temple and the community. Yes its touristy but the sense of peace and calm and the beauty of the surroundings can not be man made. I went early morning so it was relatively quiet. I genuinely hadn't expected such beauty having visited more than my fair share of temples some of which should be missed.  \nThere are frequent ceremonies taking place down at the waters edge and I stood and watched for some long while. The experience was only added to by the rolling clouds over the tops of the mountains surrounding the lake.. however the speedboats need to be stopped why ruin such a beautiful sight and feeling of peace by idiots racing up and down the lake..
(42) Beautiful temple by the lake. Busy place\nPlenary of visitors\nSpacious gardens and colourful as usual.\nA bit commercialised, but worth visiting.\nA fine Balinese temple example.\nPossibly off beaten track but makes it more special
(43) One thing you need to see other than the site are the little animals the make the special coffee beans. I think they  are called lewats and there are  several in the hawker's market as you make your way in. After you get through this array of hawkers pushing the same trinkets you've probably seen at every stop in this region, you end up in a picturesque, calm, meditative spot. I didn't want to leave. I fell in love! I could feel the air vibrate. Make sure you put yourself through the small Hindu ritual. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience at this place!
(44) We visited only 2 temples on our short stay and framed them into one day out. It's a lovely place to wander around., the grounds are level apart for steps getting down to temple level and then back up again.You could take a picinic as there are lovely grassy areas to sit. There are of course stalls selling snacks and souvenirs. Bring small change with you as you will need to pay for the use of the toilets although they are very dirty, when needs must. There is an entrance charge and if you have a driver you will need to pay for parking too.
(45) this was part of our tour of bali and most people visit in the evening especially at sunset - but knowing it would be too crowded we visited early in the morning around 8.30am. There were may be 5 tourists in the whole place - it was empty to take as many pictures as you wanted in which ever spot you want, and no one hassling you to buy anything either. Yeah there was no wonderful sunset as a backdrop but we did not have to elbow our way around. There are two temples and awesome cliffs where you get good pictures of waves hitting the rocks. the main temple is kind of separated by the sea if its high tide, but that was not the case when we went. There are priests at the base of the temple who bless tourists with holy water but you are not allowed into the temple it self unless you are a local. If you are not crazy about the sunset and don't care for crowds - ask your driver to take you there early in the day - its worth it.
(46) The temple is locate on the banks of a very beautiful and big lake on the hills\n\nThe temple provides with a perfect background for some lovely photos\n\nThe weather here is cooler than crowded beach areas
(47) Must thank Trip Advisor reviewers for highlighting this breathtaking temple, which was also devoid of hawkers and crowds. In fact we were the only people there at the first temple, which helped add to the peaceful and spiritual vibe of the place.\n\nWe'd just been to the water palaces of Tirta Gangga and Ujung, so coming here wasn't much further to go. It's a very steep and windey road up, and we only passed one local on the way. Even our experienced Balinese tour guide had never been here and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.\n\nAs with most temples a sarong is required to cover your legs. However, unlike other places we've visited the people manning the entrance kiosk were extremely polite and didn't demand an entrance fee. Although you are encouraged to make a small donation. We gave 500k each, which is nothing really.\n\nAs we'd had a long, hot day visiting other places first, we had already decided to only visit the first of the seven temples here. The thought of a 3-4hr round walking trip, with vicious monkeys around the higher temples was too much for us. But I can only imagine the great view from the very top based of the first temple's views.\n\nWalking up to be presented with the three gates and stone staircases of the first temple is a special experience. It simply took my breath away. When you climb to the top of these steps and look back, the view of the surrounding area, mountains and sea is fabulous. It felt a privilege to be here and you'd be missing a wonderful treat if you don't come here whilst in the Karangasem area. Loved this place.
(48) One of my top favourite temples to visit in Bali. Great veiws and best time to visit is during the low tides so you can visit the temple but it is still enjoyable when the tide comes in.
(49) This temple its very pretty. Surrounded by lots of water. \nYou can actually walk on the stones in one of the pools, watch many sculptures, fish. \nYou can also have a bath here - If I remember correctly for a extra IDR 10,000. \nJust walk around and enjoy this beautiful place.
(50) You have to pay to get in ($6aud), then walk a mile down to a temple out in the ocean that can't be accessed at high tide. The hawkers in the place and Asian tourists buses really ruin this place. Everyone is jostling for a photo, and it's blindingly hot with hardly any shade. If you don't make the trip, you won't be disappointed.
(51) A first we weren't even planning on coming here and now I wonder why we even went.\nTo even get to the temple, you have to pass dozens of shops and restaurants, with some vendors really being aggressive.\nOnce you arrive at the temple, it's beautiful. We were there after kuningan and were able to witness the worshippers bringing gifts and praying.\nUnfortunately it was also crowded with a gazillion Chinese tourists who barely even looked at the temple, but weren't shy about almost pushing you into the water to get a good selfie. \nWe were being told we were there at a time with not many visitors and we were horrified at the sight of the crowds. If this was NOT crowded, I do not wanna be here at sunset.
(52) one of the most important temple and is excellent here , idolatry were also bless welfare puranya oceans and unique in the corner of a small island .\nyou should not go at the full moon because at high tide the sea water we will be difficult to cross .\nabout the surrounding natural beauty is so fascinating and very rare. don;t you miss this one when have trip to Bali its amasing place .
(53) Great temple with exceptional view. It was one of d best place we visited and I must say the view was stunning. We visited late afternoon. It's usually crowded but a very nice place to take pictures. There are local shops outside where u can find amazing stuff to buy. Choose a shop which has fixed price, they are way more better compared to the ones where u need to bargain. There are few food joints as well .  Tanah lot is definitely one of the best tourists attractions in bali.
(54) The visit was worth it because of the breath taking Sunset view. They won't allow shorts inside the temple but fortunately they provide Sharong to wear free of cost, over the shorts. So, what you wear and visit the temple is not an issue. Definitely worth a visit in Bali!
(55) Despite the rain and grey weather it was a memorable trip. Especially the park around the temple complex is beautiful.
(56) This is a very unique piece of coastline with fantastic rock formations including a natural bridge. The temple juts out into the sea and is not open to the public but you can walk to the entrance or wade through the channel depending on the tide. The parkland next to it was picturesque. Nice to look out from here on the view of the beaches. Stunning at sunset apparently but It was raining when I went there, which added to its mystical appearance.
(57) We came here to see the beautiful sunset as recommended by TripAdvisor, and it's true as being recommended. This temple is over visitors. The temple stands on the to of the rock in the middle of the sea. During our visit, the water was very high so we were a little bit afraid to come to the temple. We were sitting on a bench in one of the restaurant to watch the sunset and enjoy the young coconut drink. It's amazing, the temple, the views, and the sunset. Don't miss it if you come to bali.
(58) Beautiful place to visit. Fresh water and several pools in the middle of the forest. Nice pool with the fish, fontains,restaurant. On this place you can spend several hours in nice garden. In surrounding is also the temple.
(59) Temple near shore is so beautifully located.one of the must visit place in Bali. Water in temple is crystal clear and not salty.sunset view is one of the wonderful thing to see.
(60) Been lucky enough to be there during low tide and manage to walk to the temple located at the middle of the ocean. Every single angle view at there is breath taking!
