Love this post! It may be what convinces me to stay at the Amankila vs. going to Nusa Dua. Did you get in the water at all? If so - how far out is the shelf to walk, and are the waves gentle to relax in? Any issue with rocks or seaweed? I'm really looking for a beach that is pleasant to be in - and some of the Nusa Dua beach areas are giving me pause.
