Pool at Komaneka at Tanggayuda
The pool experience is highly praised for spectacular jungle and valley views, peaceful atmosphere, and generous sizing. Water temperature can be cool after sunset due to mountain elevation, but warm-water pools provide comfort.
Strong positive trajectory from 2025 to 2026. A single negative claim from June 2025 (main pool under construction) is superseded by consistently enthusiastic 2026 reviews (May–August) praising newly enlarged pools and cabanas. This suggests successful renovation and expansion completion, with improved offerings now in place. All 2026 reviews are solidly positive regarding pool experience.
What the reviews tell us
Spectacular views and design: The main infinity pool overlooking the jungle valley with Mt. Batur views creates one of the most peaceful settings on the property, described as feeling like relaxing in the jungle itself.
Multiple well-designed pools with distinct character: Newly enlarged pools and cabanas provide variety, with the smaller pool offering a particularly relaxed atmosphere and the larger pool delivering impressive scale and spacing.
Non-crowded, exclusive feel: Pools maintain an intimate, uncrowded ambiance despite good sizing, contributing significantly to the peaceful relaxation experience.
Water temperature limitation in late day: Due to the mountain location, water temperature drops noticeably after sunset, making comfortable swimming primarily a daytime activity for some guests, though warm-water pool options mitigate this.
Recent construction: The main pool was under construction during at least one mid-2025 stay, though newer reviews (2026) praise the expanded pools, suggesting successful completion.
Komaneka at Tanggayuda delivers an outstanding pool experience characterized by multiple well-designed pools set within a stunning natural environment. Reviewers consistently highlight the main infinity pool overlooking the jungle and valley, with views extending to Mt. Batur in the distance—creating an exceptionally peaceful and immersive relaxation setting. The property has expanded its pool offerings with newly enlarged pools and cabanas, enhancing guest choice and reducing crowding. Both the larger and smaller pools are praised for their cleanliness, spaciousness, and distinct atmospheres, with the smaller pool noted for maintaining a particularly relaxed vibe. A warm-water pool option addresses a practical limitation: the mountain location results in naturally cool water temperatures in late afternoon and evening, making daytime swimming more comfortable for most guests. Overall sizing and amenities support extended poolside enjoyment across multiple days of stays.
Water temperature comfort varies by time of day
One Indonesian reviewer notes that swimming is only comfortably possible during daytime because water becomes cold after sunset due to the mountain location. However, multiple reviewers praise the pool experience without mentioning cold water as an issue, and the existence of a dedicated warm-water pool (highlighted as an 'absolute favorite') suggests the property has addressed this concern. The contradiction reflects a real thermal condition (high-altitude water cooling) rather than quality variation, and the warm-water pool option appears to resolve the issue for most guests.
