The Vienna Pondok is a good place to stay and snorkel the whole day from the beach. I was able to see fish only 10 feet from shore; the size of the fish, coral and diversity increase the further one goes out. The water was very calm while I was there, no surf, so very safe for kids(there were several families with kids while I was there, and the kids were having a ball). The hotel is very casual with no pool, but it is clean and you can while away the day eating and drinking refreshments from the outdoor dining room overlooking the beach and water.
