Amandari Review

Built within Kedewatan village, the Amandari manages to balance sensitivity and opulence with its unique integration of resort and community. In the 7th century, Hindu priest Rsi Markendea came to this village from Java and founded the sacred temple 129 steps below the Amandari. Several times a year village ceremonies require the passage of tall, ritual palanquins and sky-high offerings gracing the heads of the village ladies. The resort itself, laid out like a fanciful Balinese village, is elegant without sacrificing local charm. The plush rooms are in huge thatch roof stone cottages. Village suites have a first-floor lounge and a cozy upstairs loft bedroom like a rustic tree house. The resort's emerald-green infinity pool mimics the color of the surroundings and blends seamlessly with the green beyond.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
