(1) If you are in Ubud, this is one of the must visit site. Of course there are plenty of temples to see as well.
(2) Many improvements to the temple and the garden since my last visit 6 years ago. Sadly, too many aggressive vendors bothering visitors.
(3) This is a very small temple located on a cliff right by the sea. The view of the location is spectacular. This temple is an icon of Bali. If you are in Bali you must visit this temple. The sunset is also great.
(4) Making your way to this temple you seem to go through a market shop/stall area that goes on forever but once you get through that it is worth it! The temple in the sea lives up to its reputation and so do the crowds that have also come to admire. Having said that it is most definitely worth it and there are plenty of places to sit, sometimes with a stunning view, to relax. A must see when in Bali.
(5) This is the famous iconic temple among domestic and foreigners. The visit here make sense to be combined with twin lakes as they are kind of on the way. It is very crowded. They do have boat if you want to take a ride across the lake.
(6) it was the first temple we visited that before getting to it our driver said: it's beautiful. he did not say the same about any other places, with such sincerity. the number of locals having fun at the temple/Park also tells you that it is something that they treasure. \nwe recommend going to this place, taking some time to go around the entire area. \nsome were smoking, which we found a bit disturbing to the area. \nsome groups were singing and playing.  it might disturb tourists but if that is their way of enjoying their Park and temple, I am happy that they do it. \nthe lake was foggy and even more beautiful than I could imagine, since it gave a mystery look to all those buildings. \nwe just avoided an Are where we were the only two, and only one guy who was looking too much for us.  probably an useless tourist fearfrom us. \nit was a great visit, do take the time to visit it.
(7) Very beautiful place that is closer to the mountains, the temperature is lower there, so take a jacket with you, very windy, but around such beauty, you will not regret if you visit this temple.
(8) this is a very inexpensive yet lovely place to enjoy the gardens and the view of the temple in the lake.  I really like that this is a place that so many locals as well as tourists visit. The garden is  very well maintained and full of colour.  Just a couple of dollars each for a ticket and the markets stalls have good value souvenirs .
(9) Dramatic view - it's an understatement. A very sacred Balinese temple, revered by the locals, you might  even catch a glimpse of a ceremony, large assemble of people dressed festively in traditional clothes, colorful and beautiful, handmade oranemnts and offerings, quiet and peaceful celebration. Or maybe some very exotic harmonies of traditional music. The temple seems to exude an aura, and the blue waters at the bottom of the cliff connects it to the nature, drawing energy from it. Eerie feeling, exotic beauty.
(10) U need to visit it early morning when the tides are not high if u want to walk through the sea to reach the temple. Overall its an excellent place and u can have souvenirs from the shops which are before the temple.
(11) We were very disappointed. The location is nice, with beautiful views of the cliffs and ocean. If you‘re not Hindu, you‘re not allowed to enter the temple and you actually won‘t see much.
(12) This temple stands alone past a beach on big rock formation. Surprise to fine spring water so out from the land which sprouts from below the rocks. Drank it and gave some alms as token to the so call priest there for blessing. It was crowded with local tourist from Indonesia and some major University trip with many teenagers grabbing foreign tourist for picture posing randomly hahaha....Oh there is a yellow python along the beach below the rocks but u need to pay and I dont support such captivity shows.
(13) We travel past here about 10 times a year. We should know better, but went this way to Lovina on the day after New Years. Oh, why. We were in crawling traffic for 3 hours!  All heading for this temple.\nIt is a lovely temple, but swamped with bus loads of tourists and locals lunchtime onwards. Only go here in the morning and never on holidays
(14) You can’t claimed that you have been Bali if you don’t take a selfie in this Temple. Very crowded, but it’s okay.
(15) Beautiful scenic temple. While I visited on March it was lightly raining and it made the view more scenic. Although the mountains were covered by clouds
(16) Quite busy with a lot of tourists including some big groups.\n\nBest to visit at low tide but you can’t go inside the temple. Had a good look around some of the gardens and surrounding area. Then sat in a bar on the cliff and watched the sunset with a few drinks.
(17) Loved it here!! The temple is so serene and beautiful. It's not huge so an jour is more than enough time. Landscaping is stunning and the statues are really cool. Would def suggest.
(18) Really pretty interesting.  You cannot go into the temple but to see it at sunset and low tide so you can walk up was amazing.  No need to purchase food from the restaurants just bring some and sit and watch.  There is also luwaks that get going at night and love to climb on you :)  They are nearby the restaurants that overlook the temple and they were fun to interact with.
(19) Great view and nice spot for pictures. Not much else to do. At low tide you can practically walk up to the temple. Get lots of souvenirs as you are leaving, much better price than Legian street.
(20) We visited the place right after arrival at Bali Airport. We was so excited to discover the place but found disappointed.\n\nThe place nothing special, Temple was simple and only open for prayer. We only managed to capture the cliff photos but not much impressed.\n\nThe entrance fees only cost IDR20,000.00.\n\nAdvises:\n-Is advisable to buy you own sarong or bring your own scarf if you are wearing short pant. For those, with long pants. You may just need to borrow sash (selendang) without any fees.\n\n-Beware with the monkeys. Do not walk alone and make sure your valuable things or small size belonging keep inside your zip bag. \n\n-You may enjoyed sunset view or enjoy the Kecak Fire Dance near the temple.\n\n-Menstruating women and women who have given birth in the last 6 weeks may not enter temples.
(21) This temple has big area and there are two different routes to explore it. You will get different views from the left route or to the right route. \n\nYou need extra energy here. Minimum 2 hours to get all the best spots.
(22) Temple is located in a beautiful spot! nothing much to see inside, its just another temple at Bali. Do try the speed boat experience
(23) That's the only hinduist temple built on the sea, and therefore everybody wants to see it, so there are hundreds of tourists, and may be more for Sunset…\nYou can only see the temple, it is not possible to go Inside.
(24) I had this wonderful experience to visit this area during low tide week and it is one of the most impotant temple in Bali with Uluwatu and Besakih .\nSpectacular light and amazing sunset
(25) As well as the sunset, this attraction provides some very interesting people-watching! Many Asian nationalities visit the site and all are quite enthusiastic. We were asked by random people to step into selfies and photos. It was very endearing. I felt like a celebrity. This was part of a half day trip organised by our hotel Wapa di Ume in Ubud and our wonderfully kind driver navigated with us through the rather sizeable market there before seeing the temple carved from the cliffs. It's stunning. We were lucky as the tide was out so the crowds were well dispersed. We then climbed up the stairs to the opposite cliff to look at the sun setting and watch the surfers do their thing in the waves far below. Wonderful way to spend an evening.
(26) This temple is wonderful and located on the cliff, you can view the Indian Ocean and watch and listen to the power of the ocean. the scenery is so great and wonderful. all the surroundings with nature, trees, ocean and sea breeze. Also, there are lot of moneys around the garden. But prepare you need to walk a lot there, but trust me...it's worth it.
(27) Out of the way, but a must see. The view is stunning and in the evening there is a cultural show near the temple. Very nice way to soak in some of the local culture while enjoying the beauty of the land.
(28) The view of the temple is very nice. A small temple on a rock within big waves.it takes 30 minutes to pass through the market, very friendly people. At the temple you will maybe spend 20 minutes (without watching the snakes and without the blessing), which you have to pay extra. It is worth going a little bit to east where you will see more temples with less visitors.
(29) Very nice temple - be there as early as possible.\nIn the afternoon it get cloudy. In the moorning fewer people.
(30) Been here to see hw beautifull Temple in the sea. The have snakes attaction an some animalls..some nice cafe to he some drinks f while
(31) Such a beautiful place and specially for indians. You get to observe bali culture and rituals up and close. \nVery nice vibe around the temple and sun set view is just amazing.
(32) After 7times to Bali we finally went to the temple . Yes there is markets there too and food but very well kept surrounds . We went st 4.30 for Sunset and so pretty
(33) During a day of sightseeing, we visited this temple.  The views from the shore and cliff tops are fantastic. It was a great day, plenty of food available and if you are into shopping, well shop until you drop.
(34) Nice temple, but this has nothing to do with the balinese religion. On every corner people try to sell their \holy\" things. Not good."
(35) The Temple itself is in a truly spectacular place on it's own island and I loved seeing it, however, even though I'm a regular visitor to Bali I was very surprised at how commercial the whole area is. You pay a $6 entry fee to go in and then you are confronted by a huge market selling all the usual cheap knockoff clothing and a couple of restaurants. I just thought it brought a level of tackiness to what is after all a visit to a religious temple.
(36) Fortunate to have originally been able to actually visit the temple but now due to tourists misbehaving the actual temple is out of bands. However if you are fortunate to visit during one of the local religious ceremonies you will thoroughly enjoy
(37) 1. Tample on the white blue sea.\n2. Unique and beautiful temple.\n3. Must GO place for 1st timer.\n4. Full of art on sea.\n5. Must try the desert with coconut.
(38) My second visit to the temple. Located on a cliff top - temple is just stunning with views. Just beware of rude tourists Taunting the moneys......
(39) Loved it here! Great views!\nOnly problem is you pay to enter, you can eat drink here and shop here, but pay to use the toilets, and no toilet paper!\nFound there was no need to have so many  markets here! I came to see a temple not to buy bintang singlets\nBut nice place still, well upkept gardens
(40) This is my family second visit.  First was in 2002.  Our experiences are as follows :\n\nPros :\n1) The view around the temple is spectacular especially the cliffs.\n2) Not crowded in the morning (before 10.00am).\n3) Parking is easily available.\n\nCons :\n1) Entrance fee is Rp20,000.  It was free in 2002.\n2) The temple was closed and there were many buildings near the temple.  In 2002, it was only the temple and we could walk right to the entrance but not enter the temple.\n\nIt is a must see but we will not visit it again.  Highly recommend for first timers especially for the view.
(41) This temple is situated beautiful at the lake with the mountains. Hopefully there are no clouds covering the temple during the visit.\nI also liked the statute of the water snake near the temple. You can come close to the temple (but not enter) to see the decoration with the different statutes.\nAlthough I like this place we just stay here for about 15-20 minutes, there isn't much more to see than the temple. When we visited this place there were a lot of tourists walking around so you don't sit down for an hour and enjoy the view.
(42) Nice temple surrounded by sea on all sides \nSad that we cannot go in the actual temple.\nShops around the area are ok but you need to bargain a lot.
(43) Great place for sightseeing with couple or family.\nThe zoo architecture mostly Balinese temple and really beautiful.\n\nLove the hospitality from the safari zoo with explaination or all the animal.
(44) We visited this place in the evening around sunset, due to clouds we could not enjoy\nthe sun set, but the view of sea and temple during the sunset was unbelievably beautiful. It just took away our tiredness and stress in few seconds. The temple was closed, tourists are not allowed to enter into the main temple building; but the remaining 90% temple complex is open. There are lot of monkeys in the temple complex, so you should be careful about your belongings. Its a must visit place according to me. Hope this review is helpful in planning your travel. Thanks :)
(45) Definitely must do among top 5 in Bali. Try to catch the sunset and if not sunset go during low tide so you can see the steps connecting the temple island to mainland.
(46) Had a great visit to this different temple.\nIt's on an island and only accessible by wading through water to the island. \n\nThere are different parts of the temple as one is on the 'island' and another on a cliff on the mainland and another further on.\n\nTruly magnificent.\n\nOnly problem is there were too many people jostling for space.
(47) Many souvenir shops stand around the area surrounding the temple, allowing tourists to pick-up a few gifts before making their way to the main attraction. Crowded, but it is an essential part of your trip to Bali.
(48) Lots of people visiting the area around the temple, with a crowd of guys dressed in while at the entrance. I imagine they wanted to be paid to escort you up the stairs, but after seeing other temples, this one seemed not worth the investment.\n\nThe sunset was OK, but there is an island where the sun goes down, so the image of the ball of the sun dropping into the ocean is not possible to see.
(49) Another temple that was closed. After paying for a cab and the entrance  fee and we only got to walk around. Mind you the walk along the cliff is pretty but it is still a big let down. I don't get the hype.
(50) I dont know if we were missing something but i realy wasnt that impressed. Its very overcrowded and loads of people taking photos of themselves and the view. View is lovely but considering the time and money it takes to get there i feel there are far superior temples in bali.
(51) Beautiful temple situated in the lake. May not look like as we have seen on the photos depending on the time of the visit. Still okay for a day trip.
(52) Worth a visit, but this temple was disappointing. The views were beautiful, but the amazing pics you see are a trick of the camera by a skilled local.  \nThe temple grounds and surrounding area were atrocious. Waiting in line for the Heaven’s Gate photo, we had to cover our noses to mask the smell of rotting garbage.  There was refuse everywhere.  I would hope that the locals would take more pride in keeping such a beautiful, sacred place clean. \nNevertheless, it is worth a visit because the temple structure is unique and views are stunning.\nMake sure to have a sarong and sash (girls and guys) and cover your shoulders and back.  Sarongs are avail for purchase on-site for cheap.
(53) Another wonderful Balinese experience, to see the temple perched out on a rocky outcrop with the surrounding sea. You are able to walk out to the temple at low tide & you can be blessed by a monk. A very moving experience . The photo opportunities are wonderful & if you go later in the afternoon, the sunset can be beautiful .
(54) Another must temple of Bali. Plan to visit this temple in the evening and njoy the amazing sunset view. You may probably need to go in advance as there can be mad rush to catch the sunset .
(55) This temple is nice but it's not worth the travel from Ubud for example. It's overloaded with tourist busses and selfie-sticks, really annoying. Once you are there you stay there for like 15-30 minutes and that's all and you can drive back.
(56) Beautiful temple on a lake. Not as big as I had pictured but still impressive. It is a tourist attraction so yes there will be a ton of people there.
(57) Beautiful temple with stunning views from the cliff top above the Indian ocean. Parking 3000 idr, entry per person 30,000idr  (3 dollars)\nTry a mee goreng from the warung outside! Yum
(58) We visited this temple first time, and this looks really beautiful lake... with a good hand from local goverment, it should be able to be improved more and more beautiful... we really like this lake... fresh weather and natural.......... for sure we will visit this place again.
(59) Yes - throngs of tourists & locals selling - but you have to see it. The setting is amazing - the actual temple is very small & you can't go in - but it's spectacular.  Set in crags that appear to be a basalt flow - on closer inspection black sandstone. Never seen that before. For sunset - go just up road and dine at Pan Pacific - world class.
(60) My husband and I visited here during our honeymoon. It's just beautiful in the sunset and it's nice to experience some of the Balinese culture. No public toilets unless you want to pay 3.000 IDR to use them. Plenty of cafes and stalls for shopping and the view is stunning from the cliffs. If you're looking to see some temples, this is one of the more iconic ones.
