Owners were indifferent toward us, did not even provide some basic information about the island when we arrived.
Hotel itself is located on relatively narrow grounds.
We had booked deluxe Bungalow with sea view. When we arrived, we were given triangle room 7, at the very end, behind restaurant, next to kitchen.. Not even partial seaview, only a glimpse of blue in the horizon. The other bungalows further front did have some seaview, depending on how to the front they were. Upon our complaint, we were told that they could not put detailed pictures of all rooms and it just depended. However, and probably seeing our displeasure, we were told we'd receive a (supposed) upgrade to first triangle bungalow - there we had partial sea view.
Room 7 may not have had a view but it did have many insects. A huge (dead ) spider in the closet, many very alive bugs in the room and dozens of mosquitoes that passed out on the bed after we used an anti-repellent tablet.
No mosquito net.
Room 1 had no bugs, but every day the sink furniture was dotted with bird (?) droppings. The first day these were scattered on our toiletries- luckily, there was a cupboard.
Breakfast was partially poor.. The Indonesian opton was good, but with the egg option, some slices of bread (no butter or jam), one day only one slice - and when I asked for more, I was informed I could order the bread platter for a charge. No fruit offered with this option. And for all options, you choose coffee or tea or fresh juice.
After the breakfast experience we did not try dinner (which was also expensive) but instead ate at next-door hotels.
Wifi non-existent anywhere besides the restaurant.
Gardener spent hours collecting leaves, but trash that washes up on beach was collected mostly by tourists.
The rest of the coastline around island, even close to hotels, is dotted with litter.
