(1) Nice temple. No drones allowed, which is great! However the park has some strange aspects, like a big sponge bob (what is he doing there) and some big straw berries, which makes it feel like a kids theme park. Temple is beautiful though.
(2) In the past there was only one temple, now there are several temples, directions are quite complete, parking is spacious, toilets need to be spread over and free
(3) This was my 2nd favorite temple we visited in Bali. There’s just something magical about it . I’ve literally had dreams about it afterwards ! It’s so beautiful and unique and right of a lake. Definitely worth a visit!
(4) I'm not sure where to start but it was alright...  This was more expensive than other temples yet I found it was not as interesting... Was more of a market than temple to me... You don't go in the temple you just get to see the temple... There's more interesting temples in Bali...
(5) Visited this temple  while in Bali , it was a little disappointing to be honest , the setting on the cliff is beautiful but you are unable to enter the temple for religious reasons which is fine but honestly there's not a lot to look at on the exterior and there were swarms of tourists making it noisy and loud.
(6) Great experience of Sunset view and temple. Well worth the visit, although the traffic\njams to get there were really bad, our private driver knew the back roads so this\nwas not a problem.
(7) Our tour started with a visit to a Balinese house in Baha village - interesting discussion on how Balinese live their daily lives - followed by a stop to view the famous rice terraces and surrounding mountains. We then travelled on to the temple site, which is located on a lake and is a very photogenic area, as well being clean & tidy. Overall a nice tour.
(8) One of the not to me miss place when you visit Bali. View is just mesmerising. One of the best place in Bali. Temple is on the edge of the sea, you can only visit if there is no high tide but can enjoy and click pictures.
(9) Pay to see a sacred snake.\nPay to get a blessing.\nReally? \nTake a look. Snap some pics. Wonder up to it and tick it off. Too crowded in the afternoon so go in the morning.
(10) This temple is not easy to get to.  Its pretty distant from all other attractions.  But the reviews were great so we decided to put the effort in.\n\nThe temple is super small and unimpressive (the photos are deceiving) and its literally the only thing to see there.  It would be fine as a 10 minute pit stop on the way to your main attraction, but as the main attraction its a total joke.  We were distraught that we had spent 2 hours to get up there and spent 50.000 to see it.
(11) Visited two weeks ago. A must-see temple in Bali with breath taking views of the ocean. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Be mindful of your loose items, there are monkeys in the area that might take your belongings although they're pretty harmless. The weather is humid and you'll be walking under the sun with not much shade to view the area so it is advisable to dress comfortably and bring water.
(12) We visited this venue on our 3rd day in Bali. The good aspect was there is no charge to enter although there are donation boxes all over the place. However they do charge for the loo....... the cost was immaterial but the good lady reported they were the worst conveniences she had  visited, I lost interest when she started explaining something about buckets, taps and a quaint hole in the ground. Enough said.\n\nThis venue is like a village, many shops and people trying to sell you photos. The actual temple is very good, but with the \push and shove\" to get a good photo and the fact we arrived when the tide was coming in you could not get out there fully! \n\nFor me the best was \"Gloria Jeans coffee shop\", but maybe I was a little Templed out with it being my 3rd of the day!"
(13) We went to the temple in the early morning (as you have to go at low tide to reach the temple, on high tide it is not possible to reach the temple itself)\nEven at this time it was crowded and it seems that this beautiful temple is not more than a “money making machine”, lots of shops with cheap things, mostly not connected to the temple and well overpriced…….\nOver all, for us it was the traveling not worth.\nIt was not possible to enter the Temple, what was really disappointing.
(14) This temple & it's grounds is very pretty IF you can stand the crowds. GO EARLY in the morning! AVOID the weekends AND holidays! When I went it was the afternoon. I walked there from the Candikuning market. It takes about 20”. Still, with the crowds it was okay. Check out the assemblage in the photos, man.
(15) A truly stunning setting for this unique old temple.  Even in the rain this was a beautiful sight and had it not been such inclement weather we most definitely would have stayed longer to admire this beautiful place.  Lovely coastline on either side of the temple make it a fantastic photo opportunity too.  Negatives are that the place is incredibly busy, even in the rain, so you could find yourself in a queue, or a crowd instead of being able to find space to appreciate the really stunning setting.  Well worth a visit.
(16) In upud we we to this temple which has a small channel on the front. We need to pay entrance fees to visit the temple. Unfortunately we cannot go inside the temple. We can just walk around the temple and take pictures.
(17) Pura build at an amazing Mountain, surrounded by forrest! All People, Are coming in the graziest outfits to get a (instructed) picture at Heaven's gate (after standing 2 hours in line). Yes, the setting is amazing, but, this is crazy! When you go further up the Mountain to the next temple, no one goes there, so people are coming for the sake of social media and not for experiencing balinese culture...\nGo there early morning and use the whole day to See all templets (check the weather forecast, to avoid too many clouds). Now I understand why templets are No entry áreas for tourists...
(18) i generally don't like visiting temples, but this temple was simply beautify. The serene and peace that surrounded it was just great! Would recommend to everyone!!
(19) i loved the temple and the views but its full of travelers   so not very relaxing or spiritual but more towards   hectic in a scale of zen.the rest of the family thought it was a waste of time as it took almost 2 thirds of the three days we spent in bali so be mindful and prioratize if ur travelling with others  .........................but for me it is a must visit place and so are the other temples around the area.
(20) a postcard perfect temple located on the shore of lake Beratan. You can easily spend a good 45 minutes to 1 hour walking around and taking beautiful photos. You can also have some fun engaging in some lake activities (fishing, riding a speed boat or sail away in a swan pedal boat).
(21) We went to the 2 first temple not far from the parking. There was nobody there, we had our sarongs and once we get there late afternoon the temple was closed. Our guid was so helpful and they open  the temple for us. We were the only persons there so imagine the excitement. We prayed and then some meditation , the level of energy here was amazzzzinnggggg. Plus the architecture and the view . This was an amazing experience.
(22) One of my favourite temples on Bali. Nice scenery, possibility to walk and eat. If you are lucky with tide you manage to get over to most remote one
(23) Incredible view from temple. Temple is built on the rock. I recommend take a lot of water and umbrella. There are no trees and terrible hot weather. Little bit rubbish on the way
(24) Lots of Balinese sculptures and beautiful landscaped gardens. The spring water here has always been regarded as holy and is regularly used for religious temple ceremonies. Bring your swimsuit and a sarong to take a bath in the pools here, the water is clean and clear and it is supposed to wash your sins away. The cafe here serves a nice lunch.
(25) We visited this temple after our lunch and swim at Finns Beach Club Canggu, since we were in the area.\nIt gets busy for sunset, this is promoted as sunset temple. Just have a walk around and enjoy the view it is a lovely place to visit.
(26) The temple located alongside a beautiful lake has spectacular views. Post card pictures with a decent camera. Must visit on a trip to Bali.
(27) Sat up at one of the restaurants overlooking the temple and sipped on a coconut drink. Lovely spot for a late afternoon drink! A little difficult to get to. Bathrooms not great.
(28) This seaside temple is absolutely beautiful. Though we were unable to see a full sunset due to clouds, what we were able to see was gorgeous. The temple grounds are beautiful, especially the area with the sacred spring. I recommend grabbing a bite to eat here and taking in the gorgeous surroundings in the late afternoon/early evening.
(29) Beautiful temple , but too many tourist :((( but if you come after 3 pm it's less tourist especially around 5 pm :))) you can go to the waterfall first in gitgit then at last to this temple :)) perfect time after 3 pm !!  No one passing by Infront of you when you want to take a photo :))
(30) The temple is a spot in the imensity of the sea.\nSituated on to the small rocks has nothing special...but you can feel and smell the sea fighting with the land in a positive way.\nYng - Yang...I have no ideea but you can feel the great Sea on the pacefull with your mind\nThere are a lot of visitors but you can feel that you are alone with your mind. And all over the place you can find the stone  figurine with the own Gods. Beautiful...a dream place and believe me I visit the Piramide and China.\nThis is a place that you must see.\nAlso you can buy from bazar a peint with a good price...an excellent souvenir.
(31) The surrounding is really nice, the cliffs and the sea, BUT you cant really see the temple as it is hidden. You can just see it from faaaaar away - that's it.
(32) The temple was very nice itself. However I enjoyed the scenery much more. You can actually walk past the temple to the ground near the lake and enjoy the lake and the mountains from there, which was breathtaking.
(33) the first place that we visited in Bali. its really nice scenery. i can imagine people who pray here will get peace.
(34) I have visited this lake twice to have some fresh strawberries and peanuts but didn't know that this temple  is beside the speed boat rental place\nCame back the third time to visit the temple and have some fresh strawberries and peanuts again :)
(35) We hired a private taxi to take us to some of the highlights of Bali.\nWe arrived at the end of the day with a view to seeing the sun go down.  Unfortunately, the sky was overcast and we were unable to make the most of the evening sights.\nA beautiful temple with breathtaking views of the sea crashing against the cliffs.  Surfers were trying to' catch a wave' during the time that we were there.\nThe place was extremely busy with many visitors hoping to see a great sunset - less tourists during the day.\nGardens were well maintained.\nThere were plenty of stalls/shops offering local gifts etc and places to get light refreshments - in fact a bit over commercialised.  The toilets were filthy.\nWell worth the long drive to get there.\n.
(36) What a location of the temple! Don't miss the sunset at this point. Foreign tourists are not allowed to go all the way up to the temple, so can see only the bottom. Still a beautiful place to be.
(37) The temple itself is not worth the visit, as there are many better examples on Bali. However this has got to be one of the best views on the island. It's a bit of a pain getting here, but worth going if you're visiting other spots nearby.
(38) This is probably the most iconic and frequented spot amongst all the tourists in Bali -- as all other reviewers have mentioned in their blogs, this is a beautiful temple complex, kissed by the waves of the Indian Ocean. The actual temple is mostly inaccessible to the common tourist but we did see a few enthusiastic folks wade into the ocean for approx 25 metres and and reach the temple complex. Overall a very well maintained spot, specially in the evening during sunset.
(39) The appeal of this temple is it's stunning location, the lake surrounded by mountains, it's all very magical. The gardens next to the temple are beautiful and within the complex there are a restaurant, toilets, play parks and even a hut with a display of animals so there is plenty of occupy your time. The inner sanctums of the temples are not accessible if you're not a worshipper but much of the complex can be viewed from the gates.
(40) Nice view. It’s not huge though, and we can enter the temple area, only the surrounding area. But still worth going when you are around.
(41) One of the must-sees in Bali! This temple is so beautiful and mesmerizing, we were awestruck when we saw it in front of us!
(42) Very nice place to visit. I must say it a must. Great place to shots nice pictures as well as knowing the history about the temple. There were some people there dressed in religious outfits sitting down the temple stairs when approached them they said that a ritual neeeded to be performed first with donation to reached go to the temple which was ridiculous. As it is one of the most famous when visiting Bali I think that guide tour should be included in the entrance ticket for people who goes to visit on their own.
(43) One of the eight (8) temples built on the edges of the Bali island to protect it, this is truly a remarkable piece of architecture from the past. \n\nThough the walk towards the temple itself may not be as impressive but the temple ground itself is very calming. Boast with a magnificent unobstructed view of the sea and chilled by the cooling sea breeze, this place is the best place for any individual who seeks to escape from the bustling city of Bali.\n\nLocals said it has one of the best sunset view in Bali so be sure to reach the temple before 5:30pm as traffic starts to pile up by then. Road access is very small and you don't want to be congested in the car and miss it.
(44) Went to see the sunset here after having a nice dinner a few meters away. We simply love it. The temples itself are not that big and you can reach them when the tides are low but its the picturesque landscape what shocks you with lots of angles and photo opportunities. Lots of souvenir seller gather around here and I managed to get the best prices for paintings here rather than any other place in the island. A great experience above all....
(45) We were charged $6 entrance fee, made to jump hoops (drink holy water, get a tika, etc.)  only to be turned back at the entrance stairs that go around the big rock. We drove all the way from Ubud just for this temple and were terribly disappointed.
(46) This Temple is atop a hill and is quite difficult to photograph based on the distance you are from it.  The sunset was exciting but not spectacular - we did not have a red sunset which we understand makes the rocks on the cliff face alight like fire - it would have been nice to see this but the weather hampered that - it is nonetheless a lovely evening stroll and worth a visit
(47) Lovely temple, set on a cliff side with stunning views of the sea and sunset. Entrance fee is 30,000 you should cover your knees and shoulders, they also hand out sashes for both men and women to wear. Very busy best to go early morning or late evening
(48) Visited at sunset, not too crowded. It is not the most impressive temple in Bali but it is a nice visit especially at sunset due to its West location.
(49) A must visit place, before going to the temple, visit the cheap shops around. they sell very cheap clothing and key chains. Coming to the temple only Balinese or Indonesains are allowed inside all others have to view from outside.
(50) Lovely views of the temple and sea.Brilliant location, we visited this temple on our very last day, the day we depart back to UK.
(51) If you look at the Trip Advisor description, this is listed as \#1 of 2 Things to do in Beraban\". You can imagine, then, in a place with only two things to do, the water temple which is in the middle of the sea and can only be reached at low tide and/or by swimming, would be popular. It is. We didn't try to go inside, and I'm not even sure if they let non-temple-types in, but just seeing it from the outside was a fun experience. You have to get through an outdoor market to get there, which has a number of different stores where people sell various wares, and you can get some good deals there - especially as you're expected to haggle. The temple sits near a beach where there are interesting rock formations as well, and there are larger grounds to explore too. There are hawkers on the grounds, but they are largely non-intrusive, but they do sell things for children (such as wind up toy planes) so if you've got young ones expect them to be more enticed."
(52) A must visit in Bali. You just cannot miss this beautiful temple. Mostly crowded all through the day. You cannot enter the temple as a visitor. Lots of restaurants outside the temple compound.
(53) First temple I've visited in Bali. It's a small temple and their is not a lot to see. The gardens around it are nice and the view is lovely. This is something you do for a hour if you want do something cultural. Be aware of all the tourist, it's busy.
(54) There is the Temple with surrounded with the wave of shore, it's amazing and fantastic. And you can see the beautiful sunset and nice beach.
(55) Many have complained about the crowds but any venue worth seeing is going to be crowded.  While there may be other temples that are nicer, the setting here is what makes this place truly special and is so awe inspiring.  If you come to Bali and don't take the time to go here, then you will have missed a real treat.
(56) The temple and surrounding lake is a very beautiful area to visit. However as with nice places it gets crowded at times.
(57) Find an afternoon to visit this wonderful spot.  No hard sell from store owners, a great temple especially to visit at low tide for a blessing and just a brilliant sunset.  Traffic is tough on the return but hey....you won't be driving.
(58) Nice temple, amazing seaview, price is 20.000 IDR, take care because of monkey. :D \nYo can go there by scooter, so don’t have to spend money for taxi or local travel agency.
(59) It was raining when we arrived there so we ended up under one of may places to hide from the sun and the rain. There we met a group of students which wanted to practice English with us. They were so cute.\n\nAfter 15 minutes the rain stopped and it was like heaven.\nSuch a beautiful temple and a beautiful complex around it.\nTotally worth the visit.\n\nThe entrance fee is 50.000Rp
(60) This temple is located at an awesome place. Great cliffs and great sunsets from here. A must visit. Wear long pant if you do come .
