We stayed at the Watergarden (amazing..) and can not fault the accom, staff, food, doctor (yes I sick with Bali Belly from Kuta) and everything in general. We used the time in CD to relax and dive. Not a huge amount to do, the local villages were unreal and the children in them absolutely amazing. A must whilst in town are the potato skins at the restaurant attached to the Watergarden, they are to die for. We also had excellent pizza about three doors south, but can't remember the name of the restaurant. The diving and snorkelling trips are great. Unfortunatley becuase of the removal of coral reef from the coast, the beaches are not fantastic, but really, the tranquility of the town, beautiful nature of the locals and laid back atmosphere make up for the lack of sand. Enjoy the town and make sure you visit some of the smaller villages.
I agree that it is not the town for nightclubs, but there is still ample beer to keep the best of drinkers wet!! Enjoy.
