Description
We're of a mixed mind when it comes to Friendship Beach. We love the panoramic sea view, the thatched roof salas by the large pool, the bamboo bar, and how the flat beach stretches out so far before meeting the waves. On the other hand, there's the the matter of the rooms... They're not exactly roughing it, but you won't find the luxury you'd expect for prices so high. The style is perhaps best described as guesthouse chic with mis-matched furniture, random pieces of artwork tacked to the walls, and some garishly-coloured bedspreads. We do approve of the Balinese open-air bathrooms and that air-con, TV, and WiFi are standard in all rooms. The seaside rooms, although literally a few meters from the water, have the most inflated price tags -- what's the appeal when you can't actually swim in it?
