7 nights all up -We stayed in a different hotel and explored exciting part of the island every day:D
So we only stayed in Amed for one night. If you are interested in snorkeling and can spare the time you should definitely spend more time in Amed.
But personally next time I would choose to stay two nights in two different Amed hotels.
Our plan for this trip was to visit some of the beaches mentioned on this forum and check out the fish. But once we got there we did not feel like having a swim because we felt that it was going to be too much hassle. Having the driver wait for us and then coming back in a soggy state did was not appealing to us.
If we stayed in two different hotels (ie two different parts of the beach of Amed we could check out the fish and beaches within walking distance and have the comfort of a shower and fresh clothes straight away in two different sites.
I know that it is not the done thing but it is just one of those little details which would have improved my comfort and therefore my experience overall.
You will have a fantastic time on your trip no matter what you decide!!
