Comments	This resort is magical. Simple, well appointed rooms that they are upgrading even further. Wonderful staff and focus on customer service. Great food with lots of choices. The diving is best we've ever done...even outshines the Coral Sea in Australia. No big fish, but perfect combo of everything else. Every inch of the reef is teeming with life. The fans and table corals are larger than a person all over the reefs. Great vis and no garbage anywhere. Very sensitive to ecology above and below the sea. The dive sites are 5-20 minutes away, back to shore for surface intervals except maybe once, nice traditional "long" boats with covered top and some space to be in the sun if you want, head on board, giant stride in and doff BC to get back up the ladder. Friendly, knowlegeable dive guides that kept it fun and were multi-lingual to serve the wide variety of customers from all over the world. Good briefings and guiding. It's well worth the long trip to get there. The service from the moment you arrive Bali doesn't let up until you are on your last flight home. They are helpful with Bali land trips and diving elsewhere in the region. Leave plenty of spare time on front end and back for flight delays. Come in 1-2 days early and leave at least one day after you return to Bali is safest. I could go on and on....
