Hi we have just been in Amed for our second time stayed at bayu cottages Lipah Beach/Bay paid US $34 per night lovely rooms with fan and aircon queensize bed and single bed in the room and they have just installed sattalite tv and room safe absolutely fabulous place the only down side was the food was a bit bland but went to a little place just meters down the road calle wayans warung very tasty and cheap. The snorkeling on the beach across the road from Bayu was soooo awesome we went everyday and never got tired of it it's quite a large area of corals and sponges and tens of thousands of fish all colours and sizes I get excited just writing this! We also went to Jemaluk because it had a very good write up in the lonely planet but this was very dissappointing lots of dead coral everywhere and not so many fish the locals said its because fishermen had used dynamite about 4 years ago.Have also been to the shipwrck out from Eka ponama bungalows that was good too but I think that my favourite is definately Lipah.
You will have an awesome time we stayed 5 days and could have stayed for much more it's my favourite place in Bali.
Frazz
