We took the Sekar Jaya Fast Boat from Kasumba to Jungut Batu beach. Indiana Kenagan Boutique Hotel is located in central Jungut Batu right on the beach. You will need transport from the ferry taxi (mini trucks are used) which will cost IDR100,000. The hotel reception is about 50m down a narrow path way and then onto the villas. This means no road noise from motor bikes. ||The Spa area has a larger pool and then another 70m to the second pool, restaurant and beach. ||The villas are air conditioned with high thatched roof and very tastefully done. Super king sized beds, a little firm for me, but still comfortable. Super sized bathroom and shower. We stayed 5 nights but only got hot water on the first day. Not a problem when in the tropics ☺️ We got a trundle bed in the room for our adult sized 12 year old. ||It is a laid back atmosphere and music whilst relaxing by the pool or beach. ||We arranged to go on a snorkeling tour through the reception. We had a private boat 'Safari' which left from the beach directly out the front of the hotel. IDR800,000 for 3-4 people. Our boat captain was Wayan who was lovely. ||It only took about 15 minutes to get out to Mangrove Point. From the moment we jumped in to the crystal clear waters we were in a spectacular wonderland of colourful corals and abundant fish life. It had a current so we could drift along without effort. Then the tide changed and we could drift along in the other direction. We live in Cairns and snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef and have been doing some incredible diving here in Amed, Tulamben, Manta Point and Crystal Bay and were very impressed by this snorkelling experience. ||We took a taxi over to Mushroom Bay where we stayed last July cost IDR150,000 each way. You can snorkel straight off the beach, but unfortunately the visibility was not good and there were cold currents so we didn't stay in the water for long.||The staff at Indiana Kenanga are very sweet and accommodating. ||There are lots of restaurants and warungs around the hotel, but be sure to grab a drink in a beanbag or bed on the beach at sunset.||We loved our stay at this property and would definitely...

Read moreWe have just finished four nights at Indiana Kenanga and it has been absolute paradise! We had the two bedroom Villa which had a huge living area, with a definite “wow factor”, and the most heavenly pool and garden. ||I had read a negative review about the hot water but it was repaired and worked perfectly in my kids bathroom and OK in ours (just medium/ hot instead of piping hot which was fine by us). The staff were lovely and the location with direct beach access is pretty special because you can wander out and take a swim, plus you’re spoiled for choice with restaurants either on the beach or the Main Street in the other direction. The strip of beach it is in is one of the most popular parts of the island. They keep the common areas lovely and clean, the staff are super friendly and breakfast is lovely (coffee just average). You feel like you’re in another world staying here. It’s beautiful. ||The reason for 4 stars and not 5. It’s very rustic here at Nusa Lembongan. Build quality and maintenance just isn’t what it is in other parts of the world, and this place is no exception. There were a few cracks in the walls and power points falling out. Considering what we paid I was a little surprised, but that’s what you come here for…. to truly get away and live a bit rustic. I just wished they had mosquito nets because there was a one inch gap around some edges of the sliding door and I found myself plugging the gap with towels and worrying about bugs. There’s also an ornate wood carving over our bedroom doors which has a bunch of holes. I’m sure someone else wouldn’t be bothered by this but I found it a bit hard to sleep because I was worried about bugs/ mosquitos. We also found the aircon a bit old and wished the common pool was a bit bigger. Also wished that there was a gym. Little things really, in the big scheme. I would stay again in...
