FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is there a gym?
Not really. Some listings tick the box, but there is no proper fitness center. The pool and surfing are your workout.
How far is the beach?
Selong Belanak Beach is about a 15-minute walk or a 3-minute scooter ride.
Is the water safe to drink?
No. The tap water is not potable and can be salty. Use the provided bottled water.
Can I get a taxi there?
You can get a taxi *to* the hotel from the airport, but getting one *from* the hotel requires booking a private driver through the front desk.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's highly rated—fresh fruits, juices, and à la carte options.
Is it good for digital nomads?
Only if you don't need heavy bandwidth. The WiFi is free but reports of it being slow or disconnecting are common.
