Tulamben is a one trick pony. Dry and without charm, once you have done the Liberty wreck that's it.
Have stayed at Padang Bai, some time ago I admit, and were irritated by hassley hawkers who were allowed to come inside the beach restaurants. Hawkers fine, but in a restaurant, no.
It's quite possible I have recommended another area before - Amed.
