This small resort had a family-run feel. The staff were very friendly and overall a great experience. The area is very quiet - don't expect any night life, other than the hotel bar / restaurant. The rooms were clean and pleasant, the beach was nice. The in-house dive shop was not doing much because of the big End-of-Ramadan festival, but the snorkelling gear and scuba equipment seemd to be in decent condition. This is definitely a family orientated place. The snorkelling at nearby islands (boat and equipment arranged by the hotel staff) was good. The pool was nice / clean. The staff are mostly Muslim, so they can't taste the cocktails (hence some strange interpretations of classics, heh). The "bacon" and "ham" is all actually beef (i.e. no pork), but it really didn't matter to us. We hired scooters (relatively expensive at 150k rupiah per day, for rather old / beat-up machines) and explored the environs. There are some amazing beaches for surfing thereabouts. The locals were universally friendly.
