Black Sand Beach Tours

Room was confortable, stuff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very basic though with limited options for the price.

Our room was very nice. AC worked fine. The area is quiet. The beaches are nice but need to be cleaned several times a day as garbage (mostly soft plastic) is an issue, not just on this beach but throughout Indonesia. Merusaka can't address all the oceans, but they can keep the one in front of their resort clean. After every swim I came to shore with handfuls of plastic. At the least there should be recycling or garbage cans close to the beach so the swimmers can dispose of the garbage they pick up. Again, I strongly encourage the resort to hire a full time person to clean the beach and the ocean in front of the resort of garbage, and to perhaps work with the adjacent resorts to expand this service to the broader beach. It will make a difference. Until I cleaned up the plastic myself, I observed the same pieces moving up and down the beach. After focussing for 30 minutes or so on clean up, it was remarkable the difference that made! One employee can make YOUR resort stand out among the others.

Really good experience.
