Delightful bungalow for peaceful retreat
Blu guesthouse is a delightful bungalow far from the maddening crowd. It is charming, clean property at the edge of Amed and amongst very friendly villagers. This was the perfect place for a solo traveler looking for a peaceful retreat with partial ocean views. The beach is easily accessible via "stairway to heaven" which was about 1.5km away. There is a kitchen where you can cook if interested, I would suggest stopping off at a store in central Amed before your arrival. There are smaller local shops though where you can buy some basics - eggs, bread etc. If cooking isn't your thing, there are also several restaurants nearby... some of which offer cooking classes! Amed is famous for snorkeling, fishing as well so if you want to do anything else besides work on your tan, those options are available as well. Wani the caretaker of the property, can help with any arrangements or make recommendations if needed.
Lastly, 2 things to consider:
1. This is fairly rural and as such there are farm animals nearby and of of the night they were a bit loud so bring earplugs if your're a light sleeper.
2. There is wi-fi but the signal is a bit weak- it works for messaging apps but anything more intense would be frustrating. Nevertheless, this was a welcome chance to unplug and appreciate the natural beauty of my surroundings...I thoroughly enjoyed it
