we have twice spent time there and loved it, extending our stay.the market is good fun, we lucked upon interesting ceremonies each time, the locals are happy to chat. interesting walks, if you are game to venture out of the village. the swimming isn't anything special, however. better off at amed for that, i think. the waves at blue lagoon each time were dangerous, due to being dumped on rocks. a cheap and quiet place to stay on the beach rd, right at the end, just past the topi inn,on the way to the blue lagoon beach, is the mustika sari hotel. it has a good pool; mind you,the breakfasts are dull. it is acceptable for you bargain a good price. we'd go back again.
