(1) We walked to the temple from our hotel which took an hour along the coast.  Fortunately we walked on the low tide and it was very picturesque.  A great morning with an interesting temple to reward our stroll.  The temple only needs about 30 minutes to investigate and could be part of a day tour on Bali.  Better to see at sunset.\n\nFood centre is not always open and very quiet when no tour buses there.
(2) Nice temple within the lake, unfortunately it was low tide . So wasn't able to see it at its best.\nBut worth going.
(3) As far as temples go we had done an all day trip of the island and this was the last stop. Having seen 4 different temples this day they all begin to blur into one. However the surround and the time of day we went was lovely. Watching the sunset over the sea was pretty awesome. It was very busy though, easy over 1000people. After the sun set we went on a wonder experienced the local monkeys who for us who listened to the rules were not a bother however if you don't listen to the rules be prepared to have you stuff stolen/attacked by them. We had a fun evening here
(4) It is a temple in the sea with nice view and nice surrounding . \nIt is a bit far from other activities in Bali . \nWe went there about 2:00 pm and fortunately it was not crowded .
(5) It was normal for me the temple is in the sea u cant go to it, u can see it from distance from the land which us soooo crowded as if its a park full with shops and its too humid there. Just took some pictures ( the view was nice) u do not need more than an hour going around , taking pictures and drinking something ( there was restaurants opposite to the temple but didn't try them).. Ahhh there u can take a picture with a real big snake ( 50,000 with ur caners; 100,000 with snake guy camera) + theres a big bat too
(6) We expected to be over-awed by the ancient temple and we were! Truly magnificent despite the throng of visitors.............
(7) Don't waste your time and money there unless you want to pay 60000 Rupiah to visit a fake village of tourist shops and end up  blocked by a \no entry\" sign in front of the entrance to the actual temple. Total scam."
(8) a large lake, a beautiful temple with a neat attractions park, unique, spacious, comfortable, cool, complete with restaurants, suitable for families with small children
(9) They changed the entrance fee to 50.000 Idr ea. person (Tourist) while locals is for free. \nHowever there is an other way!\nYou can drive down the road about 50-100 meters from the big entrance parking area and you will find alot of small trails leading down to the lake. If you follow one of those trails and walk along the waterfront. You will be able to enter the temple from the \back entrance\" which is free of charge!\n\nThe temple is very beautiful along the waterfront. We just couldn't help feeling a bit tourist trapped."
(10) Go early to avoid the crowds\nPeaceful, we went there when it was dry season so the temple surroundings was dry. Was able to go near the tower.\nBeautiful and peaceful.\nDefinitely one of the nicest temples in Bali.\nSuggest that you go around the complex, there's some nice gardens around.\nDefinitely Worth a visit!
(11) We went at about 5 pm. Walked through the market adjacent to the beach. Didn't buy any souvenirs anything as looked pricey. Did get coconut water and ice cream. Then we walked to the beach. Beware of a snake charmer with a huge Snake on the way! I bought my favourite gift from Bali here. A plastic frangipani flower clip. Further down, you can see the Tanah Lot temple. With the sun about to set, this truly was a spectacular sight. Then we braved the slippery rocks in the sea and walked to the temple. Please take care of little ones as it was a bit risky. We wore easily removable slippers which made it better to walk. At the temple there are lots of photo opportunities. There are priests selling holy water. The way up to the top of the temple was closed which was a bit of a disappointment. Overall, amazing place. Don't miss!
(12) Stunning temple at the side of a large lake. Quite small but worth a visit as iconic Bali. Bit of a trek to get there with very windy roads. Once there - guides are very keen to take you to the 'buffet' restaurants but we thought expensive for very basic mass produced foods. 100m up the road - a la carte very reasonably priced restaurants with excellent food and service with great views of the lake.
(13) Very touristy. There is no information posted to learn about what you are seeing.  The place is well kept, but quite strange with A Sponge Bob statue to point to the exit.  A bit disappointing.  Shops near here are very over priced for the area.
(14) beautiful temple and you can take a photo while you wash your face with spring water then the pilgrims stick rice on your forehead as a blessing . sadly you are not allowed to enter any of the temples there. but i have to say it is amazing
(15) We arrived during one of the \Ceremony Days\" and were rewarded with seeing many locals dressed in colors representing their village/town.\n\nThe Temple grounds are quite striking and the location next to the lake is a refreshing break from the heat of the day.\n\nBring a camera, because a cell phone picture doesn't do it justice!"
(16) - Beautiful view. The cliffs and water crashing are excitingly dramatic. \n- You can't see the temple close up unless you are a worshipper. \n- Take a drone if you can. We got great footage and it's the best way to see the temple!\n- A bit overrated. It's nice to visit and would recommend, but don't get your hopes up too much.
(17) As the title say, it is very hot. Try to go just before sunset and the view is better. Also be prepared to climb the stairs. Entrance is 20000 and a Sarong is needed. The main area is fenced. Unless you are staying in Nusa Dua, this trip is not really worth the time. There are many other temples to see.
(18) This is the place you must visit before getting out from Bali! Around 2HR from the center of Ubud, but thats not the problem because when you arrive at this temple, everything look fresh and relaxing with very wonderful environment and landmark in which you have to take a selfie and enjoy life at the inactive volcano's lake!
(19) This is one of the most photographed temples in Bali, and it is easy to understand why.. Very beautiful sight, with a nice garden to enjoy and relax. A little crowded on Sundays.
(20) Temple Surrounded by Sea. Nice atmosphere with High photo taking view!  You can get top view photo as well as down to top view ! Sea with stunning waves and the nature itself made you attractive to roam there. Worthy and Must visit place.
(21) We visited 7 temples in Bali, and this one was by far the worst. It is just one big tourist attraction. On the contrary to other temples, they even had people selling souvenirs on the temple site itself. Although we went early in the morning, it was already very busy with Asian tourists, making it hard to make a picture without tourists in them. The temple itself may be impressive at sunset, but during the day it was the least impressive one from the temples we had visited. Had we known this beforehand, we would have skipped this visit.
(22) I didn't actually go to the temple as I'm not one for overly crowded touristy places so instead my husband and I booked lunch at the beautiful Pan Pacific hotel next door and had an beautiful view of the temple from afar while enjoying a lovely lunch. The grounds at the Pan Pacific are really beautiful and the golf course is situated over the cliffs of the Indian Ocean. We walked out along the path and had a gorgeous view of the temple.
(23) One should go here before the sun sets because that's what this place is very spectacular about.\nThe long low wall along the cliff edges provide protection and plenty of good vantage points to see the sunset with the temple on the side.\nParking is ample but can get very crowded. Entrance fees are reasonable but is a bit high if one just comes here for a few minutes of sunset viewing.\nMonkeys abound which made me and my family uncomfortable because they grab stuff from people. We saw one grabbed the eyeglasses of a tourist.
(24) Here is another popular temple for sunset.  It is built on an off-shore rock - if you are lucky, you will see the sunset in low tide, so the entire temple sits in the middle of the sea!  A lot of people stop and wait for the sunset when they see the temple; my recommendation is to keep going along a narrow path with shops on both sides.  Go early, pick a restaurant, take the outermost seat, and then wait for the sunset.  You will be seeing the sun falling down to the Tanah Lot - that's the picture you see on postcards!
(25) How often can you a visit a temple built in the sea and walk the low tide to get there? Not often. This was a very cool experience. The only downfall, all the haggling people looking to take a picture or sell you something. This did take away from my experience a bit - more so than other places I visited. Other than that, a very good visit.
(26) Went here about 10 years ago and was a great spot to see sunset and enjoy the temple.\n\nFast forward 10 years, just like a street from Kuta square, markets everywhere, so commercial always looking for the dollar to sell something. It was also under construction. I guess if you wanted to see a temple there are so many more in Bali that are more appealing than this.
(27) Try to go very early before it gets HOT and crowded.\n\nI guess it is hard to see this attraction in peace as there are always so many other tourists around any time of the day.  But definitely try to go early if you can.\n\nWe were going to see it in the evening but once we realized how hectic it would be getting around and especially on leaving the temple after the sunset, we were glad we decided against it.  \n\nAside from the temple building which you view from the distance, there is nothing much else to see there.  So take a quick tour, snap your photos and leave.\n\nA must 'quick stop' on your list.
(28) A place you must visit. Enjoy the scenic beauty of this natural temple. The waves touching the feet of the temple as if they were seeking its blessings. You can easily spend half a day here seeing the temple very closely as well as moving around to get other views. The surroundings also are magical you will get engrossed. Just one thing do check the \ TIDE \", if its high tide you cannot go in the temple, so best recommended time of visit is during low tide"
(29) The temple is located on a cliff. It has magnificent views overlooking the Indian ocean. Traditional Balinese architecture temple. There are some dance performances happening , as well as Ramayana.
(30) The temple is located in the Beraban village of the Tabanan regency, an approximate 20km northwest of Kuta, and is included on most tours to Bali’s western and central regions. \n\nIt would be nice to go during sunrise or sunset so you will appreciate the beauty of this temple. I wanted to go back here next time as there are a lot of on going renovations along the area and it was high tide, waves flood the causeways making it impossible to cross, during my visit. According to my tour guide: At low tide, you may cross to view the rock base where the legendary ‘guardian’ sea snakes dwell in crevices around the Tirta Pabersihan fountain. This natural spout is the source of holy water for all the temples in the area. Priests at the fountain bless visitors by sprinkling holy water over their heads. You can cup your palms and take a sip to prove it is amazingly fresh water. So, I'm looking forward on my next visit to experience these things.
(31) Recommend going in the AM as very hot and busy!\nGreat view and temple\n\nNot a lot to do once you've seen the temple
(32) This place is famous for its sunset. The views are good but there are hoards of tourists. Tourists are not allowed in the temple also. Good place for some clicks\nMake sure you reach there before sunset time.
(33) We hired a driver for the day from Ubud and stopped here first and then the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces. In hindsight it was a long time in the car and i would have just done the rice terraces as they were stunning and i wish we had had more time there. \nThis temple is very pretty, but i wasn't blown away by it, its very busy with tourists and there are more impressive sights around Bali i think!
(34) This beautiful Balinese temple complex is the highlight of our day tour at Celanga bawang. It has everything in terms of temple on the lake and the garden within the complex. Well maintained and well developed for tourists.
(35) The scenery was amazing, the view was great, the temple itself uncertain since it was not accessible. It didn't seem interesting other than its location. Loooooots of people taking pics and looking for the best spot to watch the sunset, which was nice but at some point clouds made their way in front of the sun. Beautiful spot and relaxing if it weren't for the crowds.
(36) The view points are photogenic however entry to temple is restricted. The temple is located at cliff so offers good place to view sunset.
(37) Ideal place to visit, 60.000 rp./person. I think people should go here when the tidal dơn so you can go to the temple to visit
(38) We booked a half day tour with our hotel for $50 probably cheaper on the street. Our driver spoke great English and stopped everywhere we wanted we all got blessed with holy water the temple looks amazing am going back to see sunset over the temple. Also there is an art shop as you enter the best art I've seen in Bali yet hand painted not screen prints like most in ubud and kuta. Only one road there traffic can get hectic.
(39) Temples on Bali are rather unique: not massive monumental halls, but rather  like feather shaped light pyramids or even pagodas, so often set in a beautiful landscapes and in this case a wonderful waterscape!\nFor me this is Bali's number one temple. The grounds are extensive so that even with many visitors you have a sense of peace and calm. We were entertained by a superb Gamalan orchestra, and witnessed one of the many colourful processions, and enjoyed a lovely meal.
(40) Beautifull temple. Worth to visit and ejnoy all the views.\nThere is Nirvana golf course just few meters south from the temple.
(41) Of course you need to go and see this temple / area. But it's more of a short-stop than a real sightseeing experience.
(42) We only visited the first two temples on our visit as we didn't have time to see them all (it's about 4 hours all up to climb through all 9 temples).  I'd highly recommend getting the local guide service that is offered, as we learnt so much more about the temples and Balinese Hinduism than if we'd just walked ourselves.
(43) One of the best spots of Bali. Lovely ambience, pleasant weather with amazing view of the temple and the lake.
(44) Was the first place I've visit in Bali and was really nice. The temple is on the lake, next to mountains so you have a fantastic view. It's really quiet. You can spend some time there and walk around to see everything
(45) So the temple site itself looks interesting, but there were tons of people in the area. It doesnt seem to me that this is a  place built or meant to host a lot of people. It's almost an eye sore to me. L
(46) This beautiful temple sits in the ocean.  People are able to go to it at low tide when the beach is out of the water.  It is dramatic when the waves wash against it at high tide.  People are able to sit on the cliff and enjoy an evening drink as the sun sets behind the temple creating a lovely scene.
(47) If you come when it's low tide, you can pass to go to main temple on the sea.\nThe temple and the view here it's really great and really beutiful.\nWould like to take photo with snake? There is long snake on site you can take photo with ;)\nPlease remember to use Sarung/Kamen if you visit the temple.
(48) We came earlier than the crowded sunset times, which I highly recommend.  We got a good parking spot and there weren't too many people milling around. Make no mistake though - it's another very touristy place.  But, it's unique enough that it's worth visiting once.  We were there during low tide, and I think it would be better to see during high tide.\n\nThere was a spot where they blessed you with some water and put a few grains of rice on your head; you had to do this (and give a donation) to enter onto the side stairs of the temple.  We thought you'd get to climb up to the top once you got past that, but what we discovered was that you could only go up a few steps, once it curved around the side the rest was past a locked gate. \n\nIt was worth doing once, but I wouldn't go again.
(49) The temple itself is beautiful, but not only, the park where others temples are, is also very nice.\nThere is a lot of people but it's not to bad.\nRestaurant around will charge you a fortune for food and drink, when you can have it twice cheaper out of this place.\nGood for a stroll in the morning when its not to hot.
(50) This place is worth a visit. The view is magical you can see the clouds just above the lake next to the temple. The temple is clean and well maintained. Visiting this place early in the morning is recommended is you want to beat the crowd.
(51) Go see it at sunset, such a beautiful place. The markets here a great and lots of places to eat. On low tide you can walk to the temple and get blessed by the monks.
(52) Temple is extremely nice and located on a cliff. Difficult te get a taxi if you want to leave after sunset.
(53) Tip: check the tides before you go, make sure it's LOW tide so you can walk out to the temple! Hang around until sunset and score a table early to enjoy a sunset drink and dinner for a reasonable price :)
(54) We went there midday to see the temple at low tide so we could cross and enter the temple WRONG. You are not allowed to enter only look from the rocks upwards yes it looks nice and at sunset it could make a good photo if it was not for the 1000s of people there yes I am not joking 1000s so you have 100s of shops selling all the same tourist stuff and eating and drinking places and crowds lots of tour guides with flags I'm the air all pushing and shoving down lines of pathways leading to the temple area where you meet 100s of people all hoping to take that one picture without people climbing all around its just one vast market place selling you stuff or charging you to enter the area or see a snake etc there are some gardens you could sit in and look out to the sea but the locals have all the shaded areas selling you more things yes I been there would not go again or reconmend
(55) Though I was a lil reluctant to visit a temple on my honeymoon, I went there as it was a part of my tour package.\nIt was one of the the most scenic temples I had ever seen. The temple is on top of the rock with vast ocean in front. The place just looks very peaceful and beautiful. You would love to spend an hour or so just to sit there and enjoy the view and calm.\nThis is one of the must visit places in Bali.
(56) The temple itself is no much better than other you see elsewhere in Bali, but the location makes it special, be aware you have to do some steps so comfy shoes or flip flops are a must. Also careful about the monkeys they steal sunglasses, water bottles and other but if you are careful they make great photo opportunity, The temple is on the edge of a cliff therefore the beautiful landscape of the coastline at sunset make this trip worth the drive.
(57) This is a worthy place to visit. After long journey of about 1.5-2 hrs ride you can relax here. During high tide not possible to enter temple but low tide can enter temple. Nice place to click & selfies.
(58) It's just beautiful. The day when we visited the temple the weather was awesome and it was not at all hot. The mountains and the lake in the background are really eye catching.
(59) I was blown away by the view from this temple. Definitely worth the traffic it takes to get here. I will say that getting a proper tour guide around the island makes your trip that much more memorable. We had a lovely tour guide named Ketut which made our trip that much more fantastic by his knowledge of the island, great English and easy going attitude. We couldn't have been more appreciative for our tour - We actually hired him twice during our time in Bali ! If anyone needs a driver/tour guide around the island, Ketut is your man. Trust us when we say our trip to Bali wouldn't have been the same without him. Contact him at kacer67@yahoo.com or Facebook - Hakunamatata Ketut. \nAll in all, Bali was just the trip we were all hoping it would be. We were able to see the classic tourist sites while taking small detours to lesser known (and absolutely beautiful) sites around the island
(60) This is a must visit place in Bali, beautiful temple, beautiful sea wave.  ..you just can't stop snap photos. ...if you never visit this place when you go to Bali you then you should go again!
