Pele's Place Coral Reef Bungalows & Café Maman

Very comfortable & convenient stay in hub of Iboih tourist attractions, snorkelling etc. Superb restaurant food & service. Very healthy options. Tuna amazing. Tranquil garden & sea view.

The restaurant was right on the water so the view was beautiful. The staff were very nice. Mini frig in the room. Nice balcony with partial view of water and lovely trees.

They did not clean our room or change our sheets even though we were there two weeks. Our bathroom sink leaked when draining and they did not fix after we told them. The place was two very steep hills from town so need to rent scooter or car to be practical.

We lived norkeling at the reef right next to the bungalows, a beautiful underwster kaleidoscope. Annie and the team worked hard to make it a pleasant stay, always smiling and singing in the kitchen which I am sure added to the quality of the food they served, a good variety of Indonesian specialities with a few lovely Western dishes when you need something else including great pizzas. The hammock on our balcony was fabulous, a great place for an afternoon snooze listening to the waves. Pele's place is only a 10min walk from the beach and other cafes and restaurants when you need a change. Its only a short walk to the nearest diving centre that also offers snorkeling trips. 3 ATMs as well within 5mins. We stayed a week and could easily have stayed longer.

Bring water shoes for the rocks around the reef.

That is is quiet and secluded, however, during non-peak it was not that noisy at other more convenient accommodations

Service are rather relax, and not consistent, there are no beach, making it rather difficult to go to the sea to snorkel or swim since a lot of slippery rocks that can cause marine cuts, would be better if they make a floating platform that can go from shallow to deeper, hence bypassing the rocks, especially during shallow tide. The rooms we got also rather dated in comparison to pictures.
