Beautiful property, nice to get away from the crowds and the heat of the lower areas. Just as they said, no need for the a/c. It was rainy, but the golf course was playable soon after it was over. That doesn't happen where we are from. Had a driver bring us to a waterfall close by which was gorgeous. Fun to be staying where people line up just to take a picture outside.

Unique Mountain stay. Quiet, birds singing. Stayed in garden view room which was an independent building with wonderful garden and mountain views. No A/C in room, but cooled off in late afternoon and opened windows for cool fresh mountain air. Basic furniture and bathroom but Room clean with no bugs. Sat outside on front patio to enjoy views. Enjoyed fresh fish for dinner at the restaurant which was presented well. Golf course had a great layout out and has potential to be the best course in Bali if the grass in the rough was cut closer and some of the greens were burned up from too much fertilizer. Best strawberry ice cream I have ever had and the strawberry jam at breakfast was also excellent, perhaps due to the abundance of strawberry farms nearby. Front desk staff had some issues with English, and either didn't understand or were not able to assist with transport questions. Overall Had an enjoyable one night stay.

This was in a beautiful location. View from room across the golf course is wonderful. Food was great. Service great also. Only issue was no air conditioning or fan which made the room a little stuffy. Depending on weather at time this may be an issue. Overall stay was great. Golf was fantastic!

I will still rate as FIVE STAR, could become SIX.
The location up on the mountain is serene and early morning air is very refreshing. The environment is cool and beautiful, with a 18 golf course is designed very well, for holiday or professional golfer. A lot of improvement and maintenance will keep the golf course in superb shape. It should not allow to deteriorate, if no maintenance and improvement are kept. already golf carts are not repaired for continual usage. So the golf course needs a lot of improvement and maintenance.

Nice modern hotel but be wary of location
We had initially planned a trip up north to Bedugul from Ubud for the temples by the lakes and waterfalls, however, on our arrival we realised how far the temples are and decided against the walk. We didn’t let this take away from our time at Handara, the hotel itself is in a stunning location and is in a very modern condition. We ate a nice meal in the terrace restaurant (which was definitely the priciest meal we had on our trip to Bali) whilst watching the sunset amongst the mountains of northern Bali. Our chalet room itself was large but lacked WiFi. It’s also worth noting the staff were happy to provide a golf buggy trip to the entrance to view the impressive Handara Gate, which offers an impressive photo opportunity.

STAY AWAY
CHECK IN - Very poor service had to ask for help with bags. After lots of communication issues we finally come to the conclusion although we booked a suite for family of four only 2 x breakfasted were included. (Not necessarily the fault of Handara....more likely "hotels.com" but Handara staff not empowered to help in any way) ROOM - The whole place is like a building site complete with noise all day. we stayed in one of the new rooms but they have really got the design wrong. No Air conditioning and at night you can hear other guests noises... LUNCH - My wife and daughter attempted to get lunch first two thing they requested form the menu were not available (fish and chips / burger?????.....really!) DINNER - Not much better BREAKFAST - ordered continental but not available so had bacon and sausages they tasted terrible. Tried to order more toast but told they had run out of bread!!!! GOLF - The golf course is stunning although it was horrid weather my son and I opted to play. CADDIES - We were ripped of by our caddies who told us we had to pay 200,000 each tip. CHECK OUT - TRANSPORT - Late by 40 minutes - (We just wanted out by now and they couldn't even get that right)

Sauna for men only!
Sometimes one negative experience colors your whole impression of a place. I booked his hotel because I wanted to use the sauna. When I checked in I asked the front desk about it and the guy said it "wasn't ready", that it took several hours to heat up. Weird but not bad. Came back the next morning first thing so the sauna could be made ready and the very embarrassed girl explained that the sauna was for men only since it was in the men's locker room. I'm sore I could have made them close the locker room for a while so I could use it but it didn't seem worth it. But I was very disappointed by their misleading hotels.com listing Otherwise the whole place was lovely and they were doing renovations. My room was very nice, not run down as some previous reviews noted. Had an awesome massage in my room.

Mountain escape in amazing location.
We spent two nights at this golf resort, even though we do not golf, and it was a memorable stay. The location is beautiful, with amazing views of Lake Beratan. Though a bit outdated, the hotel was comfortable and clean, and the restaurant was excellent, both for breakfast and lunch. We really enjoyed the fireplace in our cottage at night and the staff was helpful in getting the fire going and bringing more wood! We are planning on staying again for a few days on our next trip to Bali.

Great surroundings, but mainly set up for golfers
Beautiful golf course in the middle of the mountain lakes. Was staying with a friend for a remote getaway. Room was simple but comfortable. Breakfast was fine. The staff were perfectly friendly, but underprepared for guests who weren't there to play golf - we had gone to explore the mountains and lakes. When asked which mountains were good to climb, they said that there weren't any you could climb as it was too dangerous. When asked about the nearby lakes and temples, they pointed to the one you could see from the hotel, and didn't appear to know much about it. Having left Bedugul and moved on to Ubud, we found that we were also right next door to another lake, which was home to the stunning Lake Bratan Temple - a sight we shouldn't have missed!

ゴルフ場のコンディションがとても良い
2泊3日3Rしてきました。到着日の午後3時(以降はフィーが安い)からラウンドし、18Hスル-で3時間弱。とにかくフィールドのコンディションが良く、さすが世界の50に選ばれただけはある。マインズ、セントーサよりも気に入ったゴルフ場となった。グリーンは早く難しいが、キャディの適切なアドバイス通りに打てれば問題ない。ちなみにキャディへのチップは12万R。宿泊はロッジで広く快適。朝夜は17℃くらいなので寒いと感じた。ディナーはメニューも揃っており美味しい。

ここに泊まるのは、ゴルフ以外考えられない。ロッジだったが、日本のゴルフ場のものと比較しても悪くはない。但しロッジ含め全てが相当老朽化していて全体を改修しないと、リゾートとしては問題。 しかし、ゴルフコースについては全く文句なしの素晴らしさで、泊まればプレー費も 安くなるので、割り切ってしまえば問題はない。 朝寒いくらいの爽やかな気候で、コーススタート随時と言う、夢のような環境である。空港から2時間は遠いが行く価値はある。
