Bali Palms Resort II

The resort and its setting

Bali Palms Resort II is a low-rise, independent timeshare property on Jl. Raya Candidasa, right on Bali's east coast. The accommodation is teak-furnished with kitchenettes, which suits owners who want to self-cater some meals rather than eat out every night. On site there's an outdoor pool, a gym and a beachfront restaurant, and the resort holds a 4.3/5 rating from 642 Google reviews — a solid, consistent score for a property of this size and style. It's affiliated with Interval International, so owners who enrol can exchange their week for a stay elsewhere in that network.

Candidasa and the Karangasem coast

Candidasa is one of Bali's older coastal resort towns, known for a relaxed, unpolished feel compared with the south of the island. The seafront here is quieter than Kuta or Seminyak, with a scattering of warungs, dive shops and small guesthouses along the main road. Karangasem regency is Bali's spiritual and agricultural heartland — this is rice-terrace and volcano country, home to Mount Agung, the island's highest and most sacred peak, and Pura Besakih, the "mother temple" of Bali. Divers and snorkellers use Candidasa as a base for trips to Tenganan, the Bali Aga village known for its traditional weaving, and to the dive sites around Amed and Tulamben further along the coast. It's a good fit for owners whose guests want temples, reef dives and village life over beach clubs and shopping malls.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Bali Palms Resort II and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise.

Because Bali Palms Resort II is an independent property, resale isn't processed through a hotel brand's corporate timeshare division. Instead, ownership transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before you agree on a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort: the current transfer fee, any right of first refusal the resort or association may hold on resales, and the current annual maintenance fee. These figures aren't standardised across independent resorts, so get them in writing rather than assuming last year's numbers still apply.

A resale buyer typically receives the usage rights to the week itself — the right to occupy that unit in that designated week each year (or on the resort's set rotation, if applicable) — but not necessarily any Interval International enrolment, which is usually a separate, optional membership the new owner arranges themselves. Ask the resort management how long a transfer typically takes to process once paperwork is signed, as this varies by resort and can affect how quickly a new owner can actually book or exchange their first stay.

Practical notes for owners and renters

Renters researching Bali Palms Resort II tend to ask about the same things: how far the unit is from the beach and restaurant, whether the kitchenette is fully equipped for self-catering, and what the pool and gym facilities actually look like day to day. If you're listing a week for rent rather than sale, photos of the actual unit (not just resort stock images) and a clear note on what week or season you hold go a long way towards getting genuine enquiries.

Bali's wet season (roughly November to March) and dry season (April to October) both affect demand for coastal Karangasem weeks, so it's worth mentioning your week's timing clearly in any listing — shoulder-season weeks either side of the dry season often appeal to buyers looking for lower rates with still-reasonable weather.
