(1) If you are visiting the UNESCO terraces, you should travel another 45 minutes to see this beautiful temple on the lake. There is not much to do or see here, but the view of the temple on the lake is quite beautiful.
(2) It's a must-visit place during your visit to Bali. One of the most beautiful Hindu temples i have seen. It has a serene and calm effect. Off course it will be crowded as it attracts many tourists.
(3) This revered temple, one of several along the coastline, is situated on a rock outcrop and is dedicated to the sea. It is certainly worth a visit as part of a day tour. It is also a wonderful place to take photographs from. Although I was not there near sunset time, I believe it is a great place to watch the sun go down. The area approaching the Temple is very commercialised and the crowds during the holiday season and certain festivals can be quite large.
(4) I'm glad I visited as seeing the views of the ocean are wonderful. Temple itself was a little underwhelming what you get to see. If you're in the area go, but dont make a special trip.
(5) What a beautiful place, lives up to the photos. We checked low tide so we could make in across to temple. We got blessed for a small donation and got to go up some steps, but actual temple closed to tourists. It would be stunning on a dry day and if there was a sunset - too many rain clouds for us. We bought shirts at the market on the way back. Even with umbrellas we were wet through. Would highly recommend even though the weather was not kind to us.
(6) We really liked this temple complex. It was low tide and we could see the entire complex. The sunset was the best I have ever seen. Good place to spend a few hours atleast.
(7) This was a visit to one of the most beautiful temples I ever visited, temple in the sea, no access during high tide. So blissful that one can just be spiritual
(8) It is a nice beach side temple. Good for photography and those who wants to see some sea formations (geography students). Awesome views. It is crowded, but tell me which tourist attraction is not crowded. So, do expect crowd and inconsiderate people to be around there.
(9) This is our first stop and nothing less than beautiful was the experience. Fortunately for us there was a ceremony in progress while we were in. The view of the temple and surroundings was just spell bounding. Clouds touching the lake and the temple standing tall in the midst of the mist is just an awesome view. One of 'the landmarks' while in Bali.
(10) You will find this temple on the lake. Within its surroundings, you can see and look a nice garden with children playground and water bike. I went there with my wife and it was a cloudy and cold day. It took 1,5 hours to go there from Denpasar and cost USD 3 / person for the entrance fee.\n\nIn summary, it is a great place to relax and enjoy with your family.
(11) As part of our multi stop trip, we stopped at this temple.\n\nThe views are amazing of the temple with its lake and mountain backdrop. Surrounded by a lovely park with plenty to see.\n\nWe spent about an hour here and took many photos and videos! Well worth a visit and would recommend to others. The only reason we gave it 4 instead of 5 was the distance we travelled to get there, and occasionally items difficult to get good shot with so many people around, although that's to be expected of somewhere so special.\n\nA must see in bali!
(12) Old Balinese temple in beautiful and scenic surrounding,situated on sea sore it can't be visited during high tide, fortunately when we visited it was accessible,lots of place to eat,go on top of cliff to have food with view.
(13) We were suggested this place by our driver so thought we would have a look! Tickets were 50,000rp for adults and 25,000rpm for kids under 12. It was quite busy the day we visited and also quite cool with wind. The temple is out on the water of lake Beratan. It is nice to look at and take some photos, there are also some concrete statues and gardens to take some photos in. There are also toilets and some shops to buy water and snacks nearby. It was pleasant to break up our trip on the way to another attraction but I definitely wouldn't drive all that way especially to see the temple. Pleasant but not outstanding.
(14) I came here with my wife and kids. Itnice temple surrounded by the sea. Beautiful sunset too. Holy and make a wish for your future.
(15) Although very busy and touristy and also under construction at the time, this is a very scenic temple to visit on the way to/from Ubud/Lovina.
(16) The temple is located on the sea and when we went it was drizzling and the sea was choppy but the view and the ambience was meemerising.The complex is huge and you will actually need 4-5 hours to enjoy the place in its entirety.\nplenty of cheap souvener shops in the colorful local market inside the complex.\nOne of the must see attractions of Bali!!!
(17) Temple is definitely worth seeing, head there about mid afternoon, lots of shopping available . The restaurants on the cliff had sensational views over the ocean
(18) Very beautiful surrounding,  at low tide you can walk to the temple stairs. High tide meant water blow..it can get really busy and hot..so try to get there early
(19) A must visit temple ... though they don't allow to enter inside but the sunset is awesome ... show is icing on top of cake . Beautiful view
(20) The temple if very beautiful and located on the hills at the corner of the lake which makes the temple looks spectacular.
(21) Arrived there after lunch, so a bit hot. However, we are appreciated Balinese temple on the cliff.\n\nSome photographs were taken, showing a stunning view and small temple.
(22) Very beautiful temple by the lake.  Well kept gardens.  Very popular with tourists.  Nice to walk around.
(23) Eventhough tide was low. Lovely cool weather. Big lake with several water activities available. Many photo options. Visit this temple along with Jatiluwih rice terrace. Sarong not required.
(24) Beautiful when the tide is in, but a bit bleak when the tide is out. Very nice walk from the temple on the headland to Sofitel. Also a nice path at the back of the beach for cycling
(25) Must see!!!\nGorgeous temple with beautiful lake & mountains around. Go there when its not overcast to enjoy the view. This is one of the most photographed spots in Bali. Don't miss it
(26) It is a bit touristic but there is a big park around, so it never gets to crowd. It's indeed a magical place, the temple itself is beautiful, and the the surroundings are amazing, lake, mountains, park. Perfect place to have a relaxing time.
(27) A must watch temple during your visit to Bali. \nIt is a beautiful place for sunset and would recommend to spend 4 hours near the temple.
(28) We visited here with our driver whom we had booked for 2 days to tour the island, and this was the first temple we visited.  It was on an island by the coast with the sea crashing against the rocks.  The tide was coming in, but there were still people standing on the walkway between the mainland which looked a bit hairy!  However, views were stunning although we didn't walk over to the temple but took photos as there were plenty of viewing areas.
(29) Apart from the temple, where only locals are allowed, nature has endowed its beauty in a very unique way. The sunset point is amazing. Proud of the balinese people for maintaining the Hindu culture for centuries
(30) An amazing place but full of tourists.  The crowds killed all the magic of the place.  Still, worth visiting. A very beautiful temple.  Just don’t expect to have an spiritual experience.
(31) Despite being full of tourists, this was an amazing place to visit. Top tip - walk past the temple (and the dubiously signed 'Holy Snake') to the rocks for the best view after sunset. Can get a bit sloppy but the contrasting colours of the green moss on the rocks with the rock pools, sea and the red sky are amazing.
(32) The Temple is at a high cliff, and the view from it is awesome... be ready to walk to reach the good points.
(33) The temple is actually detached from land so you need to walk across the water to get there.  We went in the late afternoon when the tide was low, but do plan to get back  before 6pm as the tide rises so harder to get back. Also, suggest to take the sarong and sash as they don't let you go up to the temple without them - they will rent them to you when you get there, but charge a lot for it.
(34) Nice and cool view around the lake will be more fascinating if you want to go around the lake and temple by boat in the morning when the mystically fog still around. So peace.....try it.
(35) Gorgeous views. Worth the walk up and down the temple area. During prayer ceremonies they wont let you inside but you can peep in like we did.\nLoads of monkeys so hold on to your things there. There is a King Cobra on display if you want to take pics with it.\nOutside the temple there is a huge market place for souvenir and clothes shopping. Bargain really well and they give you at 1/10th the price no kidding!
(36) Had a few hours left with Grab rent (420k for 8 hours), so decided t ok guve this temple a try. We avoided temple visit until know and I regret it even more.\n\nFrom gated ticketing booth (60k for adult, 30k for children and 5k for car), it was overly commercialised with all sorts of stuff.\n\nThere were clothes, bag, souvenirs and food stalls which all seemed neccessary for needy pilgrims. But it got too much with likes of coconut ice cream, Japanese sushi shop, Chinese restaurants, Bali Massage (not opened yet), jewelry store, etc. Only shop missing was hairdressers and car wash.\n\nBesides 500m of shopping mall, there were so many people it was impossible to avoid getting wet and pushing amateur Instagrammers aside to approach entrance to actual temple.\n\nProbably won't go back until 2030 or later. Don' worry about sunset view, it will just cost you more to get out of car park and driver time. We got out at 6pm and had clear run to Seminyak for Nuri's pork rib dinner.
(37) This is a very popular tourist attraction. At the time of our visit there were ceremonies due to the approaching Full Moon. Seeing the procession goers definitely added to our experience. The proximity to the serene lake and mountains in the background significantly enhance the temple.
(38) The temple on the beach was pretty cool. We also went under the cave in the cliff and touched the sacred snake, suppose to be good luck. You pay a donation for that. Tons of people there, I managed to get photos to make it look like nobody else was there. Good photography site.
(39) The temple is in a beautiful location but it is highly touristic and crowded and you cannot even enter it. Mostly a big money maker.
(40) Located a half an hour away from Canggu, we reached here on a rented bike\nIts a beautiful temple complex , with a lot of things to see and experience \nThe main shrine is closed for foreigners, u can just see the temple\nTickets- 65k IDR per person\nParking-3K\nU can spend an hour or more here easily \nGo during evening, watch d sunset
(41) We went there at sunset. Unfortunately it got cloudy so didn't have a chance to see it. The temple itself is nothing special. You can't access it as it is reserved for people praying. You see nothing of it apart from the main temple building on top of the cliff.
(42) Due to the trash, overcrowding of people, and tourism sales, I have to give this place two stars. \n\nIt's sad because it's such a beautiful place. The sunset was gorgeous but because it’s so impacted by people, it takes away from the experience. \n\nBefore reaching the temple, you are walking through a market of shops. You can bargain with them. \n\nWhen you get to the water, you can walk around the coast. You can snap pictures but more than guaranteed, you’ll have a photo bomber in the back. \n\nThere’s the temple across the way. I think depending on the tide, you can walk across the water but be careful. It’s very rocky. \n\nI guess this place is worth it if you’ve never seen a sunset before. It’s beautiful but maybe Bali needs to do something about the tourist impact and trash.
(43) Out of all the beautiful temples Bali has to offer I preferred this one to visit for the reasons it was a magnificent temple with best views of the surroundings. Least did I know, as no reviews said, that it all just a money draining business. \nFirst, your car won't take you to the entrance of the temple. It has to parked at the parking lot quite faraway from the entrance. Second, you have to pay for your two way commute till the entrance. \nThen there is a stepped way and a ramped way to the entrance but they always guide you to the stepped one to make sure you pay donations. Elderly travellers who would prefer ramp are discouraged due to this greed of theirs. \nAnd after all this circus, all you get to see is a really long queue for the photo at the famous entrance gate and no admission to the upper parts of the temple.\nIn all it seriously is a waste of time and effort going there.
(44) Honestly I was underwhelmed.  This was not very interesting.  The market there that you access after you have paid is fantastic I would go again just for that - a brilliant range and the sellers were not pushy and the goods were fairly priced.  We stopped for a fresh coconut drink which we loved!! As for the temple you trudge across the water with like a bazillion other tourists; and you can't go past the gate once there without doing a ceremonial water thing (which involved a long queue) - my son point blank refused to do this for hygiene reasons; so we went up the hill and viewed from there.  If you have lots of time then sure do this but there are way more interesting places to visit in my opinion.  You'd need an hour here tops.  The toilets are horrible and you pay to use them.
(45) Hope u have the luck as i did to go on a calm day, no ceremonies, no people... take ur time to wander around the magnificent gardens around the temple besides the lake, mountains in the back. No sellers boring you. Enjoy true Bali.
(46) ... you may miss a lot of Bali. \nNon-Balinese cannot enter the temples, but the whole setup is just divine. It is a very special place
(47) Mystical surrounding, beautiful with the wild see behind it. I found it a very unique spot for a temple. U cant go up or in. Busy with tourists, but yes they want to see it as well. Don't forget the sunset here.
(48) This temple is beautiful. Yes there are tons of tourists and selfie sticks and yes you have to pay entry to this tourist attraction. The views are beautiful and it's a really nice place to visit. It gets extremely hot throughout the day, best to go early morning or late afternoon. Sunset would be great from this spot !
(49) receive a blessing in a cave ? well worth a donation and shop's galore even had something to eat and drink while watching the sunset !.
(50) Amazing place. The temple located on the lake should be seen surely. I recommend to visit all traveling to Bali.
(51) It’s very touristic but the view is very nice from the platform. You can walk down as well but you can’t go to the temple. It’s cool that it’s straight in the water.
(52) Too commercialised with market going on forever before you reach the temple. unlike picures on google and tourist brochures the bridge is actually completely lost to the sea. Hoards of people around the area and the Temple itself isn't paticularly special in comparison to others in Bali which are amazing.
(53) And I do appreciate the irony in this comment as one of the thousands of tourists that make.this such a popular spot. As beautiful as the temple is it is marred by the crowds jostling for a selfie at the lake edge.\n\nGardens are beautiful with lots of other photo opportunities.\n\nOther detractors- an additional cost to use the facilities!  Plus the mess just through the gate at the shore edge - why not just fence this off?\n\nWorth a visit but plan to avoid crowds or manage your expectations accordingly.
(54) Never seen the temple this busy but it is the end of Ramadan, the end of school, just after Kuningan, and Idul Fitri.\n\nFrom the first times I visited it has become commercialized to the point of really corrupting the experience of visiting.\n\nThat said it is a nice place and worth the visit.
(55) What can I say that hasn't been said before there are 3 temples on this site the most appealing to me was the sea temple what a stunning location superb for sunset  photography or just a family day out it gets extremely busy especially at sundown for me there was far too many tacky tourist shops and having paid to go in they charge 3000 IDR to use the toilets well worth a visit
(56) This water temple was so well kept up it was very enjoyable to walk through the whole complex and learn about the Balinese history and culture.  The scenery was simply picturesque, a must see.
(57) Very nice beautiful temple by the side of a mountain lake so the temperature is naturally cooling unlike the other part of Bali. Worth the trouble for a visit of course.
(58) IDR45k for shuttle bus from parking area going up to the entrance plus IDR55k for ticket to go to the temple, but you are not allowed to go inside the temple (just like other temples in Bali). I find this is too commercial! Normally you have to wait 2 hours for your turn to take photo at the gate and you can do nothing much around here during this time. We skipped this because the view is beautiful but not worth such waiting time. The temple is also quite far from Ubud center, around 70km, so it takes quite a lot time to visit this place from Ubud.
(59) Must visit attraction. We went on 1st day of our vacation and it was so beautiful. The temples here are so different from Hindu temples in India. \nThe view is so beautiful. We just went on a sunny day,so it was very hot. But the waves of the sea and the whole view around the temple will take your breath away !
(60) A beautiful temple situated on the water, surrounded by the lake and the mountains/volcanoes. Very peaceful with lovely gardens with many sculptures and a very pleasant cool climate.  A very popular place to visit can get a bit crowded
