We spent part of our honeymoon at the Kura Kura resort. I love the sea, so for me it was truly finding myself in paradise. In any case it is not a place for everyone, it is an immersion in nature with everything that can result from it (a few insects here and there and a little attention to the corals). In any case, as soon as you arrive on site you will be offered the opportunity to use the masks and shoes made available to the facility. The rooms are well set up, the only flaw is that upon entering the resort you are offered two water bottles so you can use the water present in the bottles in the rooms, a whole explanation is given about the environment and that plastic is not used on the island, then you enter the bathroom and there are all the amenities (combs, toothbrushes, etc.) wrapped in plastic, in the past I have also seen "ecological" toothbrushes, it would have been very pleasant to find them in this resort too. Our room did not have slippers and bathrobes, only the classic towels are provided. The staff is WONDERFUL, they are mainly young people between 20 and 30 years old, natives of Indonesia, they always smile and are always cheerful, they make the place even more magical. We arrive at the sore point relating to excursions. It is clear that the management's objective is to offer the greatest number of excursions possible, and they are particularly heavy in insistently proposing them... We did three, the first was included in the honeymoon and consisted of go slightly offshore and snorkel, the second time, we were asked to do the first scuba dive of our lives, the director made us do a test dive in the pool and then made us dive in the coral reef. The dive lasted about 20 minutes compared to the agreed 30, and the cost was double what you could pay in Italy by doing a dive from a boat. However it was a wonderful experience. The third and final excursion on the last day was very negative. In the past I have also done 20-day sailings on a motorized boat, I'm not a sailor, but I notice whether the situation is appropriate to the context or not. The excursion consisted of reaching an uninhabited islet about 1 hour away by navigation and spending the day there. From afar I noticed that there was a bit of wind and the sea was rough but I wanted to trust, making a huge mistake. As soon as we leave the port we notice that, being in the ocean, even with a little wind, a wooden boat with a 20hp engine is completely unsuitable for dealing with such a situation! Especially in the afternoon, the sea became more rough and my wife was about to have a panic attack. It would have been enough to use one of the cabin boats available with larger engines. The feeling we had was very bad, it felt like
