The hotel looks nice and comfy, spacious enough with a balcony seating. They offer a small coconut as welcome drink. There is also a small pool with a floating swan. You need to hail a gocar to the town center or the beach, but it's not too far away.

The specialty of this beach is the long stretch of shallow water, which is great if you just want a dip in the water. The waves are far away in the open sea, where you can see tiny people surfing. Beware of monkeys. You can continue exploring this long stretch of beyond the rocks, with more amazing rock formation along the beach. Entrance fee is IDR 15K per person. It has free toilets and places to wash.

A restaurant by the main road with a good vibe, with quite a few Haiwaian dishes. It is pretty noisy if you sit outside due to the traffic, but they have live music later in the night. The cucumber soda is very refreshing. Butter garlic shrimp is a letdown, because there is not enough sauce for the rice, and tge prawn is kinda soft (maybe prawns in Bali are so). California Burito is pretty good, especially the green sauce which comes with it.

We came here for coffee and cake. The price is affordable, but taste wise is average.

Our stay doesn't include a breakfast, so we order gofood from our favourite cafe in Bali: Suka Expresso. Having breakfast at balcony is a great idea. Though it is expensive (about IDR 450K for two breakfast, two coffees and a cake), but the food quality is really good.
