Just left there. Nice hot springs, but a few drawbacks would probably prevent me from going again. Once we pay $20,000 rupiah per person to get in, they ask you for a "donation" to park your scooter. A locker costs $5,000 and toilets are $3,000.

There are shops lined up outside of the hot springs so the sellers (of mostly clothing) try to get you when you go in and when you go out to buy their stuff. The ladies are a lot like seagulls when you are flaunting bread around on a beach. They hone in on you and trail you and try to pull you into their store and they are all competing with each other to get you to do this so be prepared to walk fast and say no if you don't want to buy anything. They will ask your name and where you are from to try to get personal with you. One lady told my husband that she was "my friend" and so I needed to go into her store. You have to say NO very firmly many times to get them to stop following you. Actually, I had to kind of jog a bit to get away from them. You can only use the bathroom in the hot springs and not get charged $3000 rupiah if you buy a meal there. The lunch we had of chicken satay and vegetable rice was good.

The toilet is is always $3000 unless you pay in the restaurant. Not sure if that is every time you go to the toilet or just once. Hard to tell. So what that tells me is everyone is likely peeing in the hot springs so they do not have to pay for the toilet. Just FYI. Some people might care about that. I have visited a lot of hot springs around the world is this is a pretty one, but I don't like having to pay for the bathroom and am not crazy about the aggressive vendors outside. It is pretty annoying. I hate shopping when I am being hounded and I am much less likely to look at anything they are selling when they are hovering over me. I will usually leave and go elsewhere instead. I like to shop and not be bothered. But maybe I am not like...
