in March this year.
I would highly recommend this hotel. I think we paid USD 32 for 3 of us including a wonderful breakfast.
The rooms were very nice with lovely bathrooms and fantastic views. You could just lay on your bed and look straight out to sea. We were also very impressed with the food in the restaurant and cheap also so no need to look anywhere else for dining options.
We snorkelled at the beach out the front of the hotel. There was a large variety of brightly coloured fish and coral. There was also a lot of dead coral and rubbish in other parts. We snorkelled with a guy from the beach guiding us to where the good coral was, which I think we may not have found without him. A 5 minute drive from the hotel took us to the Liberty Shipwreck where you can also snorkel from the beach to the wreck, once again Wayan was our guide.
I enjoyed Amed and thought it was a great place to relax. We stayed just one night, but would probably stay 2 next time.
