In Reply to: How much has Candi Dasa changed in posted by Balimagic on Sunday, 2. July 2006 at 14:46 Bali Time:
I first went 15 years ago and last went in October last year. like you said, it didnt have much at all. Its no so different now aside from No beach but there are a wider selection of shops for your bali shopping and a few more resturants than before. I love it there. The fixed price shop (name eludes me) at the vincents end of the main road has all the bali trinkets, standard market quality clothed and general supplies at excellent prices. There are a few tailors and day spas in the main area and loads of market quality stores.
It has everything now I guess, just Not as many options as the heavier tourist areas.
Love the peacefulness of Candi and the people are fantastic. Just avoid Cafe Wayans as the food is below average and the owners, although nice people gult trip you and it makes for a really uncomfortable meal (and you feel rude walking past after you have been before. Really brings down a holiday)
