Komune Bali Reviews: Keramas Surf Resort Facilities and Pools

Anyone researching this Keramas resort is usually weighing its surf setting, wellness facilities and guest feedback before deciding. This piece separates what independent sources confirm from what they contradict, starting with the beachfront position that Oyster’s review describes: the property sits directly on black volcanic sand at the Keramas surf break. Where sources disagree, we show the conflict rather than pick one figure.

How we researched this

Last checked: data current as of the date we captured it; the exact capture day was not recorded.

Sources reviewed: property press page, hotel review and rating platforms, independent travel and surf reviews, family and wellness travel reviews, online travel agency listings, and search result snippets.

We made no on-site visit, interviewed no staff, captured no current prices, and did not independently verify room counts or travel distances. Overall confidence in this research is low: few sources are official, and most figures come from single listings or single reviews.

Key facts at a glance

Where is the kommune in Bali?

Keramas on Bali’s East Coast

Keramas sits on the quieter east coast, and the 2014 Sydney Morning Herald review placed it about 20 minutes from Ubud and about 45 minutes from the airport. That review contrasted the location with busier Canggu, Seminyak and Kuta. The distance figures are more than a decade old, and our research contains no current drive times, so treat them as a starting point rather than a live measurement.

Komune Resort is a rare thing indeed – a genuine family surf resort, entirely devoid of the testosterone-charged atmosphere that too often characterises (and taints) surf travel.

Facing the Keramas right-hander

Oyster’s review describes the resort as sitting directly on the sand at the Keramas surf break, facing a right-hand reef break. Concrete Playground describes a permanent night surfing setup with two 25-metre floodlights. WHO Australia adds that night surf sessions allow no more than six people in the water at a time.

What this means: the surf setting is the best-documented fact in our research, so surf-focused guests can treat the break and its position as confirmed. Night session availability and timing still need to be checked with the resort.

Hotel Komune and Beach Club Bali

Pools and the Health Hub

The Health Hub holds a 25-metre lap pool that WHO Australia describes as adults-only. It also caters to vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free diets, according to the same WHO review. The Recovery Centre adds a large Swedish sauna, hot and cold plunge pools, a bucket shower and day beds, which Concrete Playground describes as one of the resort’s newer additions.

Beach Club, Health Hub, and rooms

En Route’s 2026 review says the Beach Club is open to day visitors as well as hotel guests. Best Beach Clubs Bali describes a day pass with a minimum spend, no towel, and an extra fee for the lap pool, while hotel guests have those facilities included. Kids have their own space with a skate park, flying fox, cubby house and enclosed trampolines, plus a kids’ movie on the lawn from 6:30 pm each night.

Room types also vary. KarryOn describes standard rooms with a separate bathroom and small wardrobe, and suites with a living area, sofa bed, minibar and writing desk. Beachfront suites add private plunge pools. Guests in private pool suites get the floating breakfast that En Route calls the resort’s iconic meal.

What guest reviews praise

Three review sources mention staff warmth. A Telegraph reviewer, quoted on the resort’s own press page, calls the staff exceptionally warm and unflappable. A separate guest quoted on the same page praises the “beautiful local staff,” and the TripAdvisor summary notes staff praise across reviews. Ratings are strong across the platforms we checked: TripAdvisor shows 4.6 of 5 across 1,421 reviews, and Trip.com shows 9.3 of 10 across 76 verified reviews.

There’s a lot to love about Komune… delicious healthy food, great coffee, yoga and fitness classes, adults-only pool, well-equipped gym, lovely spa treatments and a surf break!

Where reviews disagree

Hotels.com’s guest summary records complaints about long waits and mixed-up orders at the Beach Club restaurant. One Trip.com reviewer said the rooms were very small and judged a 90-room property at around RMB 1,600, the figure as the reviewer quoted it, to be four-star standard for value. That is a single reviewer, so it signals a pattern to check rather than a verdict.

What to watch: praise centres on staff and facilities, while criticism centres on restaurant service and room size. The review samples behind these comments are small compared with the platform totals.

Checking current rates

Our research captured no current room rates. Check offers on the resort’s official channels, and compare room types side by side, because room counts differ between listings.

Price band without figures

The only dated figure in our research is from 2014, when the Sydney Morning Herald described guest rooms from A$91 per night. That number is historical and is not a current rate. The RMB 1,600 figure from the Trip.com reviewer is a single, unconfirmed claim in the currency the reviewer quoted.

The bottom line: no current price band can be stated from our sources, so pricing guidance in this article stays qualitative.

Pricing band

• Current band: not stated, because the research contains no live rates.
• Dated reference: A$91 per night for guest rooms, from a 2014 review.
• Value debate: one reviewer calls rooms very small and rates the value at four-star level.
• Day visitors: a minimum spend applies, and the lap pool carries an extra fee.

Alternatives in the set

Our research names no property that is directly comparable to this resort, so alternatives are framed by category rather than ranked.

• Surf-led beachfront resort: this resort is the only one assessed in this piece. Our Novotel Bali Nusa Dua review covers beach access and pricing at a different property.
• Wellness-focused resort: no comparable wellness property was assessed, so no direct comparison is made here.
• Villa-based stay: Oyster lists villas among this resort’s accommodation, but we assessed no standalone villa property.
• Other Bali stays: our Natya Hotel Tanah Lot review covers prices, location and amenities at another Bali hotel.
