This is a lovely place to stay if you want to relax and unwind. The rooms are well appointed, large and comfortable, and the balconies look directly onto the beach through the fringe of garden along the shore.
The landscaped pool is also beside the beach, in a garden setting.
When the tide goes out during the day, you can go beach combing along the black sand without too much hassle to buy souvenirs. Be prepared to come back with gooey feet, though!
The staff are polite, friendly and helpful. It was cheaper to book a sunrise boat to dolphin-watch at the hotel than outside, the same with transport when we left.
There aren't shops or markets nearby but a taxi can be arranged if you need anything - about $5 return. There's a string of little seafood places just a short walk up the beach but otherwise, enjoy the peace of this lovely resort.
The restaurant is located right by the shore with a mix of seafood, Balinese and western dishes. The buffet breakfast was great too. Prices reasonable.
Wifi is available in public areas.
