Warung Ombak Homestay — Restaurant in Kecamatan Abang

I don’t get why this warung has 3 stars rate. I just went there today and it was such a nice place. At first, I contacted a guy who renting the snorkeling equipments. It was cheap only 50k with the fin as well, and the equipments are in good condition. Then he said took me to this place, warung ombak, and tell me to buy drink or food here. I don’t mind at all but was kinda afraid if it’s pricey.

Turns out they have the proper menu with price list on it which is great. Before I decide to lay down on the sunbed, I asked the price and the lady said it’s free if I ordered food. So of course i’m fine with it. She already said it at the first moment, not trying to scam or anything.

I ordered mango juice (it was so damn good), coconut and mahi mahi grilled. The mahi mahi was so delicious!

The best thing about this place is the Underwater Pura of Jemeluk is just right at the front of the warung. I came back and forth to swim and drink and it was just soooo wonderful. The staffs are nice as well they took care of my belongings while I was swimming.

This place def deserves...

Don’t make the same mistake as my family did. We stopped just to have a coconut, ended up by renting snorkel gear and in the end the restaurant manager was really hostile and aggressive. She tried to charge us for the chairs - which when we arrifes they told we could sit and drink the coconut there. And then almost made us feel like we were stealing the snorkel gear just because we were moving our stuff to the beach - made us give it back even though we payed for it for the day… Plus while you’re there you can hear staff people and their friends spitting into the floor....

Don’t go here. They will tell you that is okay to sit on the chairs to drink something but then try to charge you for the chairs. You have constantly people (friends with the staff) that are always asking you if you want to buy things, it’s annoying. We rented the equipment to go snorkel for the day, and two staff told us we could give it back in the end of the day, then a lady came shouting and saying that if we were going elsewhere to have lunch we had to return the equipment. We end it up by spending money for the snorkeling gear and use it for one hour…...
