Damara Lembongan

We had a great stay here, the bungalow was amazing and the staff really nice and helpful. Breakfast was included, it was ok, we often just had the toast and jam, kids loved the banana pancakes. We stayed in a family 2 bed bungalow, the rooms were huge with lovely high ceilings, mosquito nets to drape round the beds at night, wardrobes with hangers and a safety deposit box in both rooms, fridge in both rooms (water provided daily) with a dresser. The rooms had a flat screen TV in but they were not plugged in nor did they have an ariel to them? we weren't there to watch TV so we didn't ask about them, it was like they were put there for show?? The bathroom is partly open with the roof only covering some of it, the showers were good but one didn't get very warm and the other was either boiling or cold, it was really warm so we didn't mind a cold shower. The pool was great, good size, nice temperature, lots of loungers too. The outside covered area to the bungalow was huge, tables and chairs, fans on the ceilings, it was lovely to sit outside in the evening with a drink or two and listen to the geckos. The staff booked us onto a snorkelling trip, highly recommend booking through them, good price and private boat with your own guide, we went to see the Manta Rays, the sea was unfortunately too rough to swim in but we did see them on the surface, we were not pressured to get in which we have heard other tour guides do, he took us to a calmer area where we got to snorkel with the kids too and all had a great time. Unfortunately the hotel has stopped doing lunch and dinner due to the big restaurant next door which is a shame, would have been nice to have some snacks round the pool for lunch but can understand why. There's lots to do around the island, reception will happily arrange a taxi, we would recommend staying here, its lovely.
