Fantastic food!

During my stay, I experienced some of the best food I've ever had in Indonesia. The fresh BBQ fish and the fantastic Beef Rendang were highlights. With friendly service and the soothing sound of the ocean in the background, every meal felt special. I truly believe this was the best dining experience on the island!

I had an amazing stay at Desa Dunia Beda Resort. The staff were super kind and made me feel right at home. The beachfront location was perfect, allowing me to enjoy both tranquility and stunning sunsets. However, the beach has some tricky access due to dead coral, so I did have to bring water shoes.
