Hey Tamakai,
we go to CD every year August/Sept as we have timeshare there. We love the peace and quiet, shopping is a general store and little clothing/type places and a second hand bookshop, which we leave our books at every year! Being good Kiwis we love our fishing and go out with the locals each morning at 5am in search of mahimahi; successful last year, game fishing on handlines fron an outrigger can't be beat! It cost us Rp250000 for half day mahimahi and reef fishing and we never came home emptyhanded, the local restaurants will cook your catch, we donate the rest to the kitchen.
Ask the boys on the beach by the Lotus Cafe, we use Wira and his boat Boa Ventura.
Others day trips as mentioned already, very relaxing, friendly place, good choice of local restaurants.Enjoy!
