(1) We visited quite a lot of temples during our time in Bali and I have to say that this was one of my favourites. The location is so scenic and peaceful, the air is fresh and cooler because of its geography. On a clear day there are views of the mountain. It is the perfect place for a picnic! We didn't see anyone try to sell us anything and you don't really need a guide, just to enjoy the picturesque views.
(2) Quick visit during the day since we wanted to avoid the hordes at sunset. During the day also fun and nice to watch. High waves make it impossible to reach the temple itself so u have to take pictures from a distance. There are multiple good angles to make photos. For the rest the area is crowded with standard tourist shops and other crap.
(3) The place is Serene but crowded because of Its amazing architectural structure of the temple, the landscape. On a low tide you can walk near to the temple and witness the magical sunset.
(4) Well worth a visit for the view if you have already seen too many temples.  I suggest instead of going left on entrance which takes you to the temple, go straight and a little to the right which will tske you straight to the cliff view. When thete turn right (away from the temple) this will take you to another nice viewing spot. You can then walk back to the temple.  We went around 4pm and were leaving before sunset...it was packed...so I guess it would take a while to get out of there after the sun went down...
(5) Surrounding and location are nice.  \n\nBut many tourist and locals visit the temple.  Entrance is overpriced.  \n\nOther temples are better.  But I admit.  This is a must see
(6) I thought my BALI visit would be incomplete without visited this famous temple. So I went to see this famed temple on a November day with the merciless Bali sun blazing High over my head. You have to walk a considerable distance from the parking lot and negotiate a good number of stairs to reach the temple. As is the custom, if you are a foreigner, you have to pay an entrance fee of 30000 IDR and enter the area but alas,as usual with other temples in Bali ,you ,being a non Balinese, cannot enter the main temple.Despite the fact that I am a Hindu from India and this is a Hindu temple built by my ancestors from India, I was denied an entrance. So, I was content with taking a round of the temple around the periphery wall of the temple like all other foreigners which was highly disappointing. Nothing spectacular or special about this temple. You won't be missing much if you skip this temple from your itinerary.If you agree with me after paying a visit, kindly give me a upvote..
(7) Feel that theres too many people and temples in Bali almost all look the same. Wasnt really that interesting to me. Went there to see the view
(8) A beautiful temple in Bali. An absolute must for everyone goung to Bali.\nBreathtaking views.  Especially at sunset
(9) One of the most beautiful places in bali, its bit far from cities but totally worth. Its so beautiful and while travelling around in different temples, its a nice break from all the crowd wanting all of your money. There is a ticket though. Do walk on the steps and feed the fish here.
(10) A simple and elegant Temple. Besides with well maintained site, the temple has a wonderful cliff/beach view, that nobody should miss!
(11) An amazing temple to view at sunset, the only downfall is the volume of people there - way to overcrowded
(12) Small temple, I don't there is much history behind. Only thing I enjoyed is d view, otherwise, nothing much. Too much for Rp50k
(13) Most famous temple in Bali, excellent view from the distance. The temple itself is not open to the public, bit of a pity. The photos are much more attractive. Still worth visiting.
(14) One of the temple staff was very strange. When we did not want to enter immediately to the temple (of course for money) and we walked towards on the asphalt road ( outside from temple walls) for the view, he started to be angry and screaming: \YOU HURT MY TRADITION! THIS IS TEMPLE AREA!\" I answered politely: \"There is no warning to stop. This is just a simple road, nothing else, but I am sorry if I hurt your tradition.\" It was not enough for him, he started to follow us and shouted: \"BETTER TO GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK\" Seems to me no money no honey.\nHis behaviour was very unpolite, agressiv, and it is a big shame for the Balinese people."
(15) The temple was Not surrounded by water but did have tourists on the water /lake with big bright Pink or Blue peddle Ducks being paddled right up near the Temple making it it difficult to get a photo of the Temple as pictured above. Hundreds of tourists being bused in and a fee to enter the area. Nice gardens around but not worth the 15 minutes we spent to look at it after spending 2 hours to get there. The Mosque in the hillside also took away from this Ancient Hindu Temple which is still used and was used on the day for a celebration for the Full Moon, with a call to prayer over the loud sound system interuppting any sense of Hindu spiritual time.
(16) 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.
(17) The temple has an inspiring location on the top of a hillside overlooking the ocean. It's an architecturally and spiritually inspiring place. Highly recommend buying tickets at 5pm for the traditional Balinese dance as it was spectacular!
(18) I’ve been in Bali a while and have seen a few temples, this one I visited twice and I like it a lot. The entree is 50.000 (~3€) and the view just beautiful. It has a garden/park area around and is nice to hang around. \n\nA bit unlike other temples since e.g. a sarong is not needed and the atmosphere is very laid back. If you can, go visit it.
(19) Ancient temple visit here everytime we travel with friends new to Bali.\nCheap shopping if you bargain right.\nMust go to see the snake and bird centre inside temple grounds,can get hands on experience if your game enough.\nAlso get first hand experience with lewaks and have fresh coffee as well.\nNever tire of this location
(20) Since its across water, the pathway is closed during high tide. But it's a good place for photos if the waves crashing on to the rocks near the temple.
(21) Have no words to describe the beauty of this place.Beautiful sunset location. People visit this place to do marriages also. You can visit temple also.They help you to cross waves to reach the temple.
(22) This was the least enjoyable temple visit of my Bali trip.  Having said that, we decided not to stay for the sunset, and I am sure that it picturesque. However, given the location I would have thought that sunrise would be even more spectacular as it would light-up the land facing side of the temple.  \n\nThe temple itself is quiet dark with trees up against it on the land side and with the sun going down behind it, along with the sea spray, you really can't see much other than the outline.\n\nThe rows and rows of market stalls that you have to navigate past to get down to the temple sell the same cheap rubbish sold everywhere else, by people just a desperate to get you to buy.\n\nI certainly wouldn't go back, unless it was at sunrise.
(23) The temple is full of culture and amazing architecture however... DONT GO DURING THE DAY!! It is extremely hot in the temple and without water you won't be able to stay long. \nTake advantage of the numerous photos locations to snap some great pictures of the scenery
(24) The place is great, the views are beautiful, also the market place located around the temple is great with amazing products at extremely affordable prices. Just remember to negotiate the prices a lot, it's ok over there.
(25) The way to this temple was fully greenish...good climate...lake around the temple was so big n clean...boating was there...mountains around the lake was treat to our eyes...we had a chance to see some daily religious activity in noon...it was so different...we can't go near temple...v can see from outside... temple architecture was really great...during our visit there was only little water around that pillar like structure in tat temple...totally the place was awsome...v enjoyed the climate n sceneric view around the temple...
(26) Near from Kutta and Semiyank, it's one of the most visited place in Bali. \nThe temple is very nice but to visit the temple rock you need to cross water on your own.  There is strong current with flowing water. So be careful. \n\nYou may find hard to take photos without other tourist in background. Lot of shopping and eating options near temple.  There is also garden on cliff to take some stunning shots
(27) This place is must see Temple for every one visiting Bali. The Temple is surrounded by a lake, Beautiful flowers, green grass. We traveled in Mid May and the weather was cold here, different from the rest of Bali.\nThe roads to the temple passes through not so high altitude, but the road side views heading to the temple are awesome !!!
(28) Probably one of the highlights of my trip. breathtaking views of the temple  and coastline.  not to be missed!!!
(29) It was nice to visit the temple. We had a good look around and took photos. There were many good spots for good photos. It was a little hot so make sure you bring water.
(30) Breath taking temple complex on the coast.  Magnificent views. Vendors line the entry but once you're inside, you underrstand  why this place is sacred.
(31) Very historic temple in a very interesting setting.\nYou might get wet feet if it is not low tide but certainly worth it. Can recommend it highly.
(32) It's a beautiful temple carved out of stone, and it's reachable only if the tide is low. You can walk up to the temple when there is low tide, but only till the front where some priests will bless you. You cannot enter inside the temple, as it's only open to worshippers as we saw some Balinese people going in to pray.
(33) 1. Great art on water.\n2. Clean place.\n3. Great view.\n4. For muslims friends- a mosque is just a walking distance for you to pray.
(34) Good fun and a fine temple in the centre of the site with a spring, be careful not to put items in pockets or appear to be holding anything
(35) The way to this temple was fully greenish...good climate...lake around the temple was so big n clean...boating was there...mountains around the lake was treat to our eyes...we had a chance to see some daily religious activity in noon...it was so different...we can't go near temple...v can see from outside... temple architecture was really great...during our visit there was only little water around that pillar like structure in tat temple...totally the place was awsome...v enjoyed the climate n sceneric view around the temple...
(36) Interesting temple on the lake  we did like it a lot but the down side it's that very busy. But worth to see it
(37) visited this temple three times already,the latest one was few days ago.the temple on the cliff still beautiful,the sea view still marvellous,the monkeys there still naughty.but i found that the ticket for tourists not very nice. before we got a paper printed ticket, now still got a printed paper, but it looks like a receipt,not the ticket.so cant keep the ticket for memory,cuz the receipt will become blurred one day.i dont know why,cuz we foreign tourists pay more money to visit here,but got a receipt even issued by a bank.i think ticket is important,especially in Bali,such a creative island,they should provide us a beautiful and artistic ticket.hope the tourism authorities of Bali will improve this.
(38) A very unique temple on the shore. This was the first time I visited a temple after wading thru sea water. The location was picture perfect and very beautiful to watch the sunset. Overall a unique experience
(39) We visited the temple during Low tide and we are able to enter part of it. \nNice view from the temple itself.\nWe also visit the holy snake. \nLots of street shopping and cheap before u reach the temple.\nHalf price from Kuta street.\nRecommended.
(40) One of the most beautiful temple in Bali. Seem like floating on the water. \n\nSince it was situated quite high above sea level, the weather there is much cooler compare to other part in Bali, which make it very nice to visit the temple.
(41) Visit first thing in the morning when there is no crowd and you can see the mist break and the mountains appearing. The temple against the skyline is a must watch.Nice restaurant inside the complex, helps to spend time watching the sun break.Stroll around and see the trees, no two are the same
(42) To me perhaps the most beautiful of the Balinese temples. Located along the ancient, volcanic Bratan lake and surrounded by wonderful flower gardens, this is a place to unwind yourself and surrender to the divine. Spend a few hours here during your north Bali trip\n\nAlso has number of souvenir shops and restaurants near the premises
(43) Very very busy especially around sunset time. You have great views of the coast line but you can't really see any of the actual temple and you can't go inside. Much prettier smaller temples you could visit which would be much less touristy. \nYou have to cover up your knees if you aren't they will provide you with a sorong
(44) We never get bored to revisiting again anf again this beautiful place! You can feel the fresh air breezing gently to your face and takes some photos to be remembered. The speed boat was also friendly and caring by serving us as the tourists. Maybe some cleanliness need to be attention to the many of garbage spread through the lake near to the temple.
(45) Awesome view from the temple... the temple is in the sea and i was lucky to make a visit near the temple as there was no water near the temple that day... \nThe sunset view is just too good... though it was not a perfect sunset as it was cloudy... Still its a place you must visit...
(46) This is such a popular icon in photos of Bali that I really wanted to see it live.  There are actually a group of temples at this large park, as well as playground, dancing kids, and gardens.  It's all very lovely, but also crowded most of the time.  I didn't realize that the water wasn't around the temple all the time.  It only comes after they've had months of rain, so it was dry and not quite as spectacular.  Still, it was fun to see the paintings on the other buildings, watch the deer eat, walk the beautiful garden paths, and of course my son liked the very simple playground.  This is a nice park to see for all ages.
(47) Pretty complex of temples against the backdrop of the sea. The main temple is on a small rocky island that you can reach at low tide. Do go and write your name on the black sand, and grab a $1 AUD coconut to drink as you take in the amazing views.
(48) Walking around the temple hills and looking at the cliffs was great. Would have been nice to have some information on what we were looking at, perhaps at the entrance so as to not damage the sanctity of the Temple itself.
(49) it is a tourist attraction so expect many people, it wasn't that crowded. quite hard to snap a photo without someone photobomb-ing behind you. just find a place/an area to sit and chill while waiting for sunset. unique temple and beautiful sunset.
(50) Bali has become the destination. It being so busy, it is best to get up early and hit the road! And I mean earlllly! 8 am wasn't good enough! And we were in jimbaran. So if you can leave around 4-5 a.m ( depending on your location) you can get amazing shots from this incredible temple! \nIt's sooo beautiful and worth the visit :-)
(51) Wasn't too busy when we were there, which was nice. We wandered around the shops and had some lunch then walked back down. The beach was now open, as the tide had dropped, so we could wander closer to the temple. Stayed for a few hours and thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
(52) Got to visit this place with my wife and it was great from start to finish. There were a lot of tourists but other than that the temple was amazing
(53) I've gone here twice, each time it's been so beautiful.  Although crowded with people around sunset, it is absolutely gorgeous and a must do kind of thing while you are in Bali.  During low tide, you can walk through the water to the temple and get blessed by the monks.  Although you can not climb up the temple it's a great experience and the views are beautiful.
(54) This was a beautiful temple, but pretty small.  There were tons and tons of people everywhere.  Worth a visit.
(55) To us all temples after the fourth one we visited looked exactly the same. However in this one there were several local old men who tried to cheat us or ask for money every 100yards.\n
(56) small stretch of volcanic sand but breathtaking, we stopped there on the way to gates of heaven temple
(57) amazing sunset experience, bring your camera and you wont be disappointed. beautiful temple , spectacular scenic views, take your breath away. the ocean waves crashing around the temple a must see.
(58) Like everything in Bali you have to pay to see it, hundreds of people doing the same thing, huge park area around the temple grounds nicely kept, you can go down to the beach. Temple itself makes a great photo probably better at sunset but was not there at this time.
(59) Another amazing holy place.  Unfortunately, non-Balinese Hindu are not allowed to enter prayer areas.  Still nice place to be around.  Again, the same advice – come early to have place for yourself.
(60) The temple by the lake is the best part for the attraction with the view of great big lake. Worth a visit.
