Our next destination was Amed.
We stayed at Puri Wirata. Fantastic value right on the beach at Bunutan with two pools, one of which is 3 metres deep and used for scuba lessons. I think our room here cost us about $70 a night...great value. Some of our rooms were quite a climb back up the driveway but this allowed for wonderful views from the balcony! Meals in the restaurant were fine and breakfast was included.
We went to Sails on our second night and they picked us up...three trips to ferry all 16 of us!! Beautiful restaurant and delicious food. So good we went back the following night!!! There are some small warungs within walking distance of the hotel and a little shop across the road but the drinks in the hotel were the same price anyway.
We hired snorkelling gear from the dive shop at the hotel. The beach is not great; quite rocky. The two days we were there the water was a little too rough for ideal snorkelling but it was still fun and lots of colourful fish to see. I think next time we go we'll stay even longer in the area. I love that there is nothing to do and especially no shops!! When in Sanur or Legian my husband is always disappearing to the shops to pick up just one more T shirt!! I hate shopping!
Three days of pure relaxation!!! Ahhhh
