For those who go directly to Pemuteran from landing in Denpasar, allow a good 5 hour drive, following the 19 hour flight from France. If the prospect doesn't delight you, make this your second base... Arjuna Homestay is slightly set back from the coast, about 10 minutes' walk from the nearest beach with the main road to cross. But above all it is a very diving-oriented hotel, with an integrated dive center and the swimming pool used during the day for diving courses. There is still a little room for swimming nearby. The rooms are spacious and clean. Functional air conditioning, good bedding, the shower pressure is very good (which is not the case everywhere), breakfast room on the terrace with a nice panorama, infrastructure in good condition. On the service side, Nicolas, French owner of the establishment, is always present and solves all requests: scooter rental, advice on walks or good little warung nearby. A very small downside about the night watchman whom I asked to get rid of a local-sized spider which had sneaked into the room: he came, missed it with his broom (which is not not a problem in itself given the speed of movement of the beast) but did not push the effort much further. I went to find him and he was waiting on the sofas in the hotel lobby with a Baygon bomb in front of him but flushing out the spider and engaging in combat was obviously not his mission and I had to do it myself. Satisfactory catering: great breakfast with unlimited mi goreng and nasi goreng, pancakes or eggs (not unlimited, don't push it), Bali coffee or tea. At lunchtimes and evenings, on-site catering with the restaurant "La Terrasse" which serves local dishes a little more expensive than in the warungs but not excessively or more international dishes, just for a change. Well priced for Pemuteran (€37 per night, breakfast included), Arjuna is a good solution, with no unpleasant surprises. The hotel was chosen for our group of 6 divers and completely met our expectations.
