5 out of 5 starsLucas V. · Google We had a great time. The bungalow was Nice, the pool was relaxing and the owner was making sure we were taking care of. The food is a bit more expensive but very Nice! Try the home made pasta or the fish!
5 out of 5 starsRoos V. · Google Beautiful place right at the beach with a nice pool. The standard bungalows are simple and small but cosy. Just the food is overpriced Rp 132k nett for a nasi goreng is just too much. The pasta is great and a bit more expensive.
