OYO 1198 Kulkul Bungalow

The big bed is nice, the room gets cleaned daily, and the AC works really well. Wi-Fi and breakfast were okay too. But the curtains and fridge are moldy, and there's a slight smell in the room. The water sometimes stops for a few minutes, and I wouldn't use the tap water to brush my teeth because it tastes strange. They're renovating and building new houses now, so hopefully things improve in the future.

Nice rooms with hot showers, a pool, a fridge, free breakfast and Wi-Fi, plus water refills. They also work with Nuansa Pulau on coral and mangrove planting. Coral Cafe can deliver lunch or dinner, and the prices are very reasonable.

We came for a four-day family gathering and loved the quiet setting, which is still close to the main area. The beach is walkable, and there are lots of restaurants nearby. The street gets very dark at night, though a phone flashlight is enough. There are plenty of plants around the cottages, so it felt cooler than down by the beach. You can even hang out with chickens and cows next door if you like. The cottages were very clean, with proper daily cleaning. Don't expect a Sheraton, but the beds and pillows are really comfortable. The service was unexpectedly excellent. The staff were so friendly, happy to chat and share information, and we felt like friends. Mr. Karyawan was especially great. We asked them to arrange everything, including snorkeling, diving, a tour, car rental, and a boat, and the quality of service was beyond what we expected. Even two weeks after the trip, my family still remembered the staff's names. I still remember how good they were, and we won't forget this trip. Highly recommend it.

We stayed two nights while I took my diving course at Freedivenusa. The place is a few minutes' walk from Freedivenusa and other diving centers, as well as the beach. Walk a little farther and you'll get to the SD point snorkeling and diving spot. There are also some great beach cafes close by. The room was comfortable, the staff were super friendly and accommodating, and the hospitality was great for the price. There's a pool in the bungalow area. Breakfast was simple but enough, with noodles, fried rice or omelette, and juices. I'd love to come back when I continue my freediving courses.
