Hi tinnup
definately worth staying in Pemuteran and snorkelling at Menjangan.
It is very quiet,but the snorkelling is excellent, particularly the drop off. If you email me I can send you a bit more detail and a map.
There are good places to stay, including Taman Sari, Amertha, Taman Selini, Pondok Sari etc.
We are staying 3 nights at Taman Sari, who have booked the trip to the island. Rp 450,000 each includes transport, boat, equipment and lunch pack. We did it a few years ago and loved it.
The trip from Amed around the north coast is easy going (a bit slow through Singaraja). You can then get to Balian via the west coast road , but , to me, the best route would be from Serririt down through Pupuan to Antosari, great scenery and drive.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Rodger
