Bali Mid-Range Hotels
Accomodation in Selang Beach, East Bali
Driving Toby, Maya, Ika & Jevon around East Bali I had to weight up my options as far as accommodation. I like to go cheap when I can and I know Toby was concerned at keeping Maya comfortable, hoping for an AC room. Selang beach, on the Amed coast about 20 minutes south of Amed, offers some okay places. Good Karma Bungalows is a set of bamboo guest houses on the beach. Conditions are simple and include an outside cold water shower, bamboo / alang alang roof, bamboo furniture and a Robinson Crusoe feel. Up on the cliff, Blue Moon Villas, offer several rooms complete with AC, pool and all the extras. We checked out the prices for both. Blue Moon were asking $115 a night, Good Karma, 250,000rp. I got 200,000rp which was okay with me.

Gili Trawangan accommodation
Looking at a map of Gili Trawangan, you will see that most of the accommodation is located on the south eastern side of the island. This is also the location of most everything else, such as bars and restaurants. For people with money, the best place to stay is probably Vila Almarik on the NE side. A good budget option is Pondok Lita, just inland from the Beer Shack on the SE coast. Being close to the ‘action’ in Gili Trawangan, isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as its not an ‘all night rocking party’.

Seraya Shores Large 2-storey Cottage in East Bali
The best room in the place in my opinion is the upstairs room in this bungalow. This room is accessed via a staircase that runs along the side of the bottom room from the large porch area. So its possible to have 2 different groups of people staying above each other. The room is spacious with a queen sized bed in the center and a balcony overlooking the ocean and the rest of the property.

Hotel Banyualit Quality Resort in Lovina Bali
Lovina is a sprawling strip of coast, that includes several villages. I have stayed in western and central Lovina, now I wanted to try the central-eastern end. The main road wasn’t that inviting, last night, but I spotted a sign, on the corner of a side street heading towards the beach. The street featured many guest houses and small hotels, and I chose Hotel Banyualit Quality Resort, in Banyualit. A short chat at the front desk got my room price down from 300,000rp to 200,000rp.

Poinciana Resort: Who is it good for?
Poinciana Resort is located on the sparsely populated NE coast of Bali. It is a neat little set of bungalows done in a very nice style with a cool owner. Who is Poinciana Resort good for?
Okay here are some people who would not like Poinciana Resort:
People who like to shop, party, surf.
People who don’t want to travel far from the airport
People who need a lot of choice regarding accommodation, food and things to do.
People who get bored without modern entertainment options.

Seraya Shores - A special place in East Bali
Bali has some hidden places that are special and one of our favourite places is Seraya Shores, a small hotel out in East Bali, on the coast close to Ujung.
For me staying at Seraya is one of the best ways to capture a feeling of being in Bali. The swaying palms, crashing surf and very relaxed atmosphere make me want to recommend this place to everyone.
