Amazingly beautiful hotel at the top of a hill where there is a beautiful view of the ocean, mountains, and rice paddies. Being at the top of the hill, it was breezy and never too hot (in June anyhow). Julia, the manager, was incredibly helpful and arranged everything for us (transportation, meals, laundry, etc.) The chef was very willing to accommodate our vegan diet and the food was very good. The area is not very developed and there is only one other hotel nearby, so if you are looking for a more authentic experience (less development, few Western tourists) then I definitely recommend this place! Of course, because it is undeveloped, there are a lot of wild macaques (monkeys) on the property and tarantulas and geckos in the room (which I loved, but maybe not everyone would). The beach is a 15 minute walk (up the steep driveway on the way home but otherwise an easy walk) and has some bars and restaurants as well as surf lessons. The beach (Selong Belanak) is a bit rough for swimming, but good for beginner surf lessons, wading, and sunbathing.
