Taman Sari, they have nice spacious grounds, nice pool right next to the beach where you can snorkel right off the beach to the coral restoration project, accommodation ranges from standard rooms, suites and villas (although the villas are not near the beach area at all), they must have something on in October, as we couldn't get any of their standard rooms, so happily taking a suite.
Other much cheaper option is Jubawa Homestay, clean, comfortable, no pool, 5 minute walk to the beach area, you are right next to local families so you feel like you are really living in Bali with the sounds of chooks etc. If you were just staying one or two nights and wanted something budget, and spending your money on the snorkelling/diving at Menjangan Island then Jubawa may suit you.
