All I know is that a couple of years ago we were driving to Amed and my driver said I'm surprised that you aren't staying there pointing to the Alila, he knew that I have fine tastes, so on my next trip on that road I just had to check it out :P Sorry I can't remember how far out of Candidasa it was.

"Alila Manggis is situated on tranquil Buitan Beach within the regency of Karangasem, close to the town of Candidasa, and provides the perfect base from which to explore the unspoilt East."
"Alila Manggis is also just 10 minutes from Padang Bai harbour where ferries leave for Lombok and other nearby islands."
