Both are right on the beach for snorkeling. Both are small properties with bungalow rooms. Both include breakfast and taxes for close to the same price. I did not have to prepay or put up a deposit for either one. That villa looks nice but of course it will in the pictures. The price is far more than I want to pay and we don't need 2 bedrooms. Be absolutely sure it is actually on the beach and not just "near" the beach if that's important to you.
I am keeping an eye on TA reviews and will make a decision soon. I'm leaning against Kembali because they do not take credit cards.
I gotta hand it to you Susiesan you are really good at finding charming bungalows. You have me thinking here!! It will ulitmately come down to the diving options for me, as I want to dive while my wife and baby can relax at the bungalow/villa, so wherever I can find a good diving facility that will allow me to check up on the family during the day will be where I go.
I wish I can book my trip already, I am just having such a hard time finding award tickets in business class. I save up miles all year to fly in business because otherwise my wife is not going to fly 20+ hours for a vacation. From the NJ Bali is really far!!
