In Reply to: Novotel Benoa, whats the beach like posted by Ananda on Friday, 4. March 2011 at 10:24 Bali Time:
Yes, the beach is safe, the sand is clean, the water is safe for kids and swimming, access for boats is not possible, the area being completely closed off other than to those who wish to bathe.
Never seen a jelly fish and never itched after I've been in the water.
The Cabana we stayed in and the one next door were right on the beach, security patrols 24/7.
Geger beach, 20 minutes by cab probably 75,000, used to be there was a taxi phone at Geger for return pick up. From what I read on this forum, Geger not so accessable any more, maybe exclusive to Regis now. Would ask before you go.
