    A little secluded. Although that can be a positive if you are looking to relax away from the crowd. The adjacent beach is not very clean.

    Excellent villas and staff. Very experienced Spa staff and good food in restaurant.

    The resort is away from any major village or city, the food options are limited.

    This is a very quite and calm resort. Perfect for relaxing and with privet villas you will have perfect privacy. You can order food and drinks or go to restaurant.

    The only two small things that could have been better were the breakfast option (3 a la carte menues got boring quite fast) and the shuttle bus timings (we wish that they would have had an option to visit canggu at more flexible times than just 10 to 2. We were very happy with our stay none the less!

    Small, beautiful and very quite hotel with an amazingly friendly staff. The area around the hotel was also more accessible than expected, with great opportunities for some short hikes and a decent amount of restaurants in the area. We wish we could have stayed longer.

    modern villas near beach. Everything was perfect. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The villa is actually more beautiful and modern than photos. Though the hotel is located a remote area of Bali, you will still find a few hood restaurants and bars nearby. This is an ideal resort if you wanna stay away of crowded areas.

    Near by temple's blasting songs / talking over & over well up to 10.30pm every night. The restaurant serves sub par food. Due to there location, if you don't have transport, you are forced to either eat at the restaurant or at Cliffhanger Restaurant who only serve western style food. (respectable quality) The beach is poluted, both water & the locals (spot the tourist so far north) don't respect there beautiful beach & leave there trash everywhere.

    Our villa was beautiful, so close to the beach we could hear the ocean from our bed. Staff exceptionally friendly, but most do not speak english. Reception staff have to learn english, as communication was difficult & missunderstandings occur.

    This place is perfect. If you are looking for a relaxing, authentic, and comfortable stay, stay here! Classic friendly Balinese hospitality. Everyone was helpful, kind, and wonderful. Yes, outside there are bugs, Mozzies, little spiders, and lizards. Bali is a tropical island, and the balinese live in harmony with these little creatures. It is not a good reason for poor reviews, so please dont let those reviews colour your opinion. If you keep your door closed, then the bugs don't come inside 🥰 The restaurant has 6 or 7 different menus that span over the day, brekkie, brunch, lunch, tapas, vego, dinner, kids. I ate something amazing and delicious and different every meal at the resort. Eating in the restaurant was something else. I could have sat there forever, staring at the ocean. The villas are very well temperature controlled. They are only slightly dated as they use traditional wood doors and furniture. When living in a humid environment, it is very normal for wood to swell with the humidity, so a firm tug on a draw may be required, but this does not deflect from the paradise you will find yourself in. Wifi can come and go a little bit. However, if you have decided to work at this resort instead of turning off and relaxing, there is a business centre with very strong wifi. The spa is wonderful. I suggest going down, meeting the ladies, and discussing the best service for you. They are friendly and want to give you the best service. The pricing is very, very good. The turnaround time and customer service were next level. Quick responses to my messages. My check-in and check-out experience were superior. And I left and arrived at very inconvenient times. I was still provided with warm hospitality. Waka is 45 mins in good traffic from the airport. But it's worth it. You are out of the hustle and bustle, and you fall asleep to the sound of waves. It is not terribly isolated, canggu is 15 mins away.

    We booked a sea view room but could barely see it from the corner of our room. But just a little walk to the main pool and restaurant it was a beautiful view.

    Very relaxing, lovely view of the sea. The breakfast was very good. It was excellent value for money, 5 star without the price tag. The room was beautiful, especially the bathroom. The lunch was also yummy.

    There could have been a bit more light on the path that led to our room but it did not deter from our love of the place in any serious way.

    Everything was perfect. We were impressed with the professional service we received from every member of staff. The room and private pool was amazing. The restaurant looking over the beach was ideal.

    If you are looking to travel around in Bali the location might be a bit off beat and not as easy to travel around.

    Husband and I were looking for a quite retreat in Bali and WakaGangga provided exactly that. We loved it private villa with a private pool. Enjoyed the direct beach access that the resort provided and enjoyed the quite time. The staff were friendly and helpful.

    There was alot of crawling creatures and some were dangerous. The beach infront of the villa could use a lot of cleaning as it reflects how polluted the beach were. The shuttle bus to the tourist attractions needs further clarity on the timeframe to prevent miscommunication. The private shuttle organised by the hotel will be charged by the hour and confirmation on the rates is essential prior to booking. The location is 1.5hours from the airport hence not much tourist attractions at the surrounding.

    We loved the ambience this villa offered. there was a complimentary massage that came with our package, and they were kind enough to prepare a mini cake for our little boy's birthday. We enjoyed the private pool in our villa and the daily bfast menu.

    all the towels in the room at the pool and spa were very old as if in a 3 star hotel not soft and many stains specially on the beach towles the Spa towels and grounds were as if you are in town in a very casual cheap spa although the masseuse was literally the BEST BEST i have seen in my entire life!! her name was Yudi I guess or smth similar!! book with her! she is great

    the main swimming pool and restaurant view were unique breezy and quiet! the staff were very prompt and helpful the biking i did for 3 hours around was amazing

    Possibly not in the remit of the hotel but the surrounding beach is in a bit of a sorry state in terms of litter / cleanliness. You definitely wouldn't want to come here for a beach holiday. Still, hearing the waves crashing adds to serene atmosphere along with the sounds of the other local wildlife. Wouldn't give up the location for anything!

    From the smiling welcome every morning, to the careful attention to our vegan dietary requirements the WakaGangga staff did everything to make our Christmas break (20-27 December) feel tailored and memorable. Beautifully maintained rooms, facilities and surroundings cleaned regularly throughout the day. Incredible and reasonably-priced options with lots of variety at their in-house restaurant meant we did not get bored once. Highly recommend the vegetarian Nasi Goreng for breakfast! The free shuttle to nearby landmarks was a real bonus since the location is quite a distance from anything else. There are a few bars and restaurants down the beach worth checking out too! The Christmas Dinner with live gamelan music was such a highlight for us and so thoughtful considering Christmas isn't really celebrated on the island. Absolute bliss from start to finish, even with the biblical rain on a few occasions. Thank you to the whole team, we genuinely didn't want to leave!
