We were quoted for two rooms 50% discount from the normal IDR 1,030.000 , the rate per night about AUD $121. We booked in to find this hotel had two other guests .The four of us were in a hotel of 100 rooms. The rooms were large with a seperate sitting area and a refrigerater. No tea or coffee making facilities, no shampoo etc. a basic room only for the price.There was no Restaurant or Bar open- nothing. One swimming pool was empty and dangerous as there was no barrier around it and it was in the seating area .We had a blackout of Bali and the Manager could not start the generator as maintenance had not been done on it,- so no lights. I was lucky I had a torch and was able to guide the other guests to a restaurant where we eat by candle light. On returning to the Candidasa Beach Hotel we were given candles for our rooms(- three hours after we had no lights) .One male guest tried to start the generator but due to no maintenance the power was too low - even trying to use the battery from his car it would not turn.The Hotel is well built and a very good area on the sea but the owner is not interested in looking after it., he is interested in taking our money for nothing.
