Topi Inn — Restaurant in Kecamatan Manggis

The fact that this is rated as a one-star property is absolutely true. When we came here, these folks were pretty sweet because we hadn’t taken the boat yet, and hence paid. Once we did that, things started going downhill.

We took the snorkeling excursion and after having snorkeled at various spots in and around Bali, safe to say that this was one of the worst experiences. The water was terribly dirty, there were jelly fish all around (stinging people, including us) and their diver with us couldn’t get bothered enough with this situation. Out of the 2 hour trip, we snorkeled for probably 30 minutes, at max - a very unpleasant experience.

Once we went back to this Topi Inn place, they refused that we couldn’t take a shower because we were not eating lunch. I mean, see the reviews of their food here, people are spotting insects and they want us to eat that unhealthy food. On top of that, their staff is absolutely mannerless. One of them said, you go to your hotel and then started blabbering something unpleasant in her native language. I don’t mind if there are regulations but she should’ve told us earlier when we told her that we don’t want to eat after snorkeling. And there’s just nothing that can justify such poor behaviour. When we told her about our snorkeling experience, she just refuted the possibility of jelly fish being in the ocean.

This is the first time I have met someone so unwelcoming and been a part of such a forgetful water experience in Bali. Never recommending this to anyone, at all.

Edit (response to the owner) - hello, thank you for responding and clarifying. In that case, would strongly recommend you to have that distinction as those folks were representing your place from booking until the end. Booking, lunch preference and post-snorkeling misbehaviour - all happened at...

Right opposite is the bustling beach with boats ready to take the divers to different locations. Also is the jetty nearby that plies visitors to Gilli islands.||I had never seen so many scuba divers getting ready to leave for their exotic destinations before from one place. This is one of the restaurants and bars located around the beach.||This place is really popular with divers. I have been here thrice already. exclusively after my dive sessions. I love the ambience. the food is great, the selection of vegetables, rice, noodles, spices is nice. Now after several months since i visited there, looking at the photos of food still make me hungry.||It has convenient toilets and showers (open showers) in the garden surrounding the restaurant, where most of the divers come and take bath. It’s a feast to the eyes seeing so many people from different continents, all sitting in groups chit chatting, munching into different variety of food, drinks and discussing about what kind of sea creatures they saw, the exchange of underwater photos, experiences. Most of these has nothing to do with the restaurant itself, but being in that location, serving such nice food with friendly staff and wonderful experience just attracts all these extra perks one gets to enjoy!..||If you are a diver, the perks are more.. would love to come, stay and experience the breakfast, lunch...
