Comments	This resort is quite remote, in a bay on the southeast side of the island (west of Mimpi Indah resort.) Very basic beachfront resort with small open air dining and lounge area. Cabins are back in the forest, with mosquito netting and lights and fans from a generator which runs from 11am to bedtime. Cabins are quite comfortable - cool enough at night when we were there in mid-September. Having fans and lights a little later would have been nice, but it wasn't a big deal. Take a flashlight! Food was basic - no fruit for breakfast and not a lot of variety, but adequate for such a remote place. Diving is done from a tender that has plenty of room. The dives that were close by to the west were just so-so. Dives to the south and to the northeast were great. The far north site, Batu Gosoh, was amazing. We also did a day trip to Lembeh and had a great dive on the Sulawesi mainland on the way back from that- Batu Mandi. Note: Checking the website, I see that there are new owners. These folks were actually there visiting when we were there - they seemed like wonderful people, with lots of experience in the dive industry.
