Padang Bai is a quiet little town in East Bali. There didn't seem to be a lot going on there other than diving, which is what I was there for. But it was great! Just what I was looking for. For divers: good macro diving as well as some big stuff (white tip sharks, octopus, rays, eels etc. This small bay just south of the main harbor provided a great, albeit small, beach called "white sand beach". Good snorkeling. The last warung stall had great ginger coffee!
Eastern Bali are the best scuba diving spots of the Island. And nice outdoor meditation area also

The staff members are very kind and nice. Breakfast was wonderful. However, the room smelt bad with humility and is full of mosquitos. I had to ask for a plug-in repellent.

Great for diving

4/5 - Good

Padang Bai has a good beach for sunbathing and the blue lagoon near for diving. The location is a little rural but pleasing, with nice little bars and a relaxed vibe. It seems safe.The only issue we had was with the boat company that overcharged us.
