If you walk out of your hotel and turn right along the beach there is a row of really good restaurants but also the worst money changer/convenience shop imaginable. It is called Kumala Mini Mart or something similar and is next to Kumala Pantai Hotel on the corner of a little alley. He is justifiably famous for being a bandit. Never even if it's a blue moon change money there but also if you really have to go in to buy something and I mean your life depends on it be sure to count your fingers and toes when you leave because if they don't charge the wrong price they will try and give the wrong change probably both!!!
The Circle K a little further along however is fine and anything you run out of can usually be bought there at a reasonable price with no funny business.
Have a good time.
