Comments A wonderful tropical paradise with amazing diving. Had a 10 day stay here after getting off the Bilikiki, a fantastic combo. Grant and Jill are the host/owners that have made this island their home for the past 30 years. The home reef is mind blowing, I could dive Uepi Point every day for the rest of my life! Just stepping off the dive dock you have incredible snorkeling or an incredible dive off a wall right there.

The food was amazing, varied and fresh. The cabins are charming and rustic, the fans were enough with the ocean breeze. Boil some water and you've got a lovely warm Balinese shower option in the cabin. It is a bit of a walk from the cabins to the dive area, I just brought extra camera batteries with me and charged my sola light in the lounge area, which is close. We opted for 3 dives daily as a group- I wasn't ready to leave.

Thank you Jill and Grant for creating and sharing this very special place!
