Penginapan Citra Agung Santolo

The owners are stubborn, especially the women. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're trying to calm down. If you're bored and looking for a solution, though, it's perfect.

There are plenty of ants and mosquitoes, and there aren't enough blankets. Still, the service is fairly friendly and the price is quite affordable. The inn sits on Santolo Beach. After the Santolo Beach gate post, turn right onto the small road, which cars and motorbikes can use. The beach is behind the inn, with chairs and a gazebo where you can hang out or eat. There's a food stall and shower area too. Parking is in front of your room, and there's a guard; the gate is closed every night.

I ended up staying here after the other inn was full. The men out front were friendly, but inside I ran into two women who were very fussy. They told me there was a shared kitchen. I brought a glass to make coffee, then heard them talking behind my back: "the glass in the barawaan is big, ge areweuh make sangeunahna". They'd brought a big glass, and there wasn't another one, so they used it however they liked. It's a shared kitchen, so borrowing a glass and plate shouldn't be an issue. They'd also hidden the water jug. I didn't want to bother them, so I ended up using an empty drink bottle as a cup.

The beach is lovely and the place is comfortable, but the women providing service made the stay uncomfortable. They were flirtatious, unfriendly, and sour.
