  It's the putting right that counts...

  16 Nov 2019

  I stayed here for 6 nights in Nov 19. Many things were 'not quite right'. The first thing that happened is that no one was there. When I did find someone to let me into my room, I was greeted by the lovely cool air of the very good air con. The room itself was pleasant enough, but unfortunately, there was nowhere to put anything, because apart from the bed (comfortable with serviceable, if holey mosquito net) and a small table that came up to my knee, there was no furniture. I had expected at least a desk, as was quoted in one of the adverts. There were also some hooks on the walls. I moved the table and two chairs which were on the verandah into the room and borrowed a couple of coat hangers, so I had somewhere to put my clothes. Other things I put into bags and hung on the hooks. The towels, sheets etc were ok.The bathroom was outside a back door, and is open air. It was pleasant enough, but had not been properly cleaned for a long time. At my insistence, someone came and gave it a good going over in the morning. They also remedied the toilet paper situation, and kept it topped up for the rest of the time. The other things which were a problem for me were the lack of a kettle, a fridge (neither of which the had advertised anyway) and a safety box at reception (which they had said they had). They kept my valuables behind the reception area in the restaurant every time I went out. They are totally trustworthy.The breakfasts are very good! I had a large plate of fresh fruit every day followed by a Spanish omelette and toast (or you could have Mie/Nasi Goreng) with a large cup of Bali coffee. A very good start to the day... the other meals in the restaurant were generally good to average, if a little pricey.The hotel is in a very isolated location, about 2 km down a dirt road, but it is well worth the drive. It is one of the most beautiful spots I have seen throughout Indonesia, and the beach and National Park are pristine. A dive centre operates from here and most of the snorkelling trips from other hotels also go from here. Make sure you take the snorkelling trip - it is awesome.The staff are very helpful and sweet, and from the local area. They are often a little unprofessional, but they are sincere and eager to please.I would stay here again, but I would be staunch about getting everything right.

  The prescence of this place is just fantastic

  The whole area has a great feel about it. The actual White Sandy Beach itself is so surreal in that you can walk along the beach and have your choice of 10 or so Warungs to visit for a great fish lunch and excellent service. Just so relaxing and 'different;

  Not so white sandy beach.

  02 Sept 2018

  After having people talk up how great white sandy beach is we were looking forward to going there. When we arrived it was a let down. The beach is nothing like what is described in brochures and by tour operators. The sandy is more of a dirty colour mixed with black then white. The beach is covered in broken coral and the water is full of rocks for over half the length making it hard to go swimming. There are a few very basic warungs but I would not risk eating there as they look pretty dodgy in terms of hygiene when you actually have s good look. You will be charged an entry fee before you actually reach the beach and then be harassed by touts wanting to rent you a beach bed or sell you food. In all honesty I find it hard to say much good about the place.

  Cheap price with the amazing view

  08 Jul 2017

  We did check in in the evening. And totally not recommended. Because you have to drive in the meeting of forest. But I can say it still safe. Just follow the direction...and better coming during the day. When we stayed in this hotel. We dont want to go anywhere. When we arrive, we got friendly welcoming with the welcome drink brought to our rooms. And we enjoy the stars from our balcony, as they provide the table and seat on the balcony. Makesure you wake up in the sunrise time. My fav room is number 08. In the front and you can see the sunrise behind the hills. On the left side. Not really a sunrise but you can see the orange colors. You just walk 1 minute you will arrive in their simple restaurant and jump to the beach. No need boat for snorkeling. But if you want to explore the snorkeling around menjangan. Yes, we recommend to rent a boat. Dont worry about wave. There is no wave at all. So super safe for the kids, and play canoe. Will coming again for sure.
